Job 42
1 And Job said in answer to the Lord,
Entonces respondió Job a Yahvé, y dijo:
2 I see that you are able to do every thing, and to give effect to all your designs.
“Sé que todo lo puedes; para Ti ningún plan es irrealizable.
3 Who is this who makes dark the purpose of God by words without knowledge? For I have been talking without knowledge about wonders not to be searched out.
¿Quién es este que imprudentemente oscurece el plan (divino)? (Soy yo); he hablado temerariamente de las maravillas superiores a mí y que yo ignoraba.
4 Give ear to me, and I will say what is in my mind; I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers.
«Escucha, pues, y Yo hablaré; Yo preguntaré, y tú me instruirás.»
5 Word of you had come to my ears, but now my eye has seen you.
Solo de oídas te conocía; mas ahora te ven mis ojos.
6 For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.
Por eso me retracto y me arrepiento, envuelto en polvo y ceniza.”
7 And it came about, after he had said these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, I am very angry with you and your two friends, because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.
Después que Yahvé hubo dicho estas palabras a Job, dijo a Elifaz temanita: “Estoy irritado contra ti y contra tus dos amigos, porque no habéis hablado de Mí rectamente, como mi siervo Job.
8 And now, take seven oxen and seven sheep, and go to my servant Job, and give a burned offering for yourselves, and my servant Job will make prayer for you, that I may not send punishment on you; because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.
Ahora tomad siete becerros y siete carneros, e id a mi siervo Job, y ofreced por vosotros un holocausto. Mi siervo Job orará por vosotros, y Yo aceptaré su intercesión, de modo que no os haré mal por no haber hablado de Mí rectamente como mi siervo Job.
9 And Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as the Lord had said. And the Lord gave ear to Job.
Fueron, pues, Elifaz temanita, Bildad suhita y Sofar naamatita, e hicieron como Yahvé les había mandado. Y Yahvé aceptó los ruegos de Job.
10 And the Lord made up to Job for all his losses, after he had made prayer for his friends: and all Job had before was increased by the Lord twice as much.
Después Yahvé restableció a Job en su primer estado, mientras este oraba por sus amigos; y Yahvé dio a Job el doble de todo cuanto había poseído.
11 And all his brothers and sisters, and his friends of earlier days, came and took food with him in his house; and made clear their grief for him, and gave him comfort for all the evil which the Lord had sent on him; and they all gave him a bit of money and a gold ring.
Le visitaron también todos sus hermanos y todas sus hermanas, y sus antiguos amigos, y comieron con él en su casa. Se condolieron con él, y le consolaron por todos los males que Yahvé le había enviado, dándole cada uno una kesita y un anillo de oro.
12 And the Lord's blessing was greater on the end of Job's life than on its start: and so he came to have fourteen thousand sheep and goats, and six thousand camels, and two thousand oxen, and a thousand she-asses.
Yahvé bendijo los postreros tiempos de Job más que los primeros, y llegó a tener catorce mil ovejas, seis mil camellos, mil yuntas de bueyes y mil asnas.
13 And he had seven sons and three daughters.
Tuvo también siete hijos y tres hijas.
14 And he gave the first the name of Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch;
A la primera le puso por nombre Jemimá, y a la segunda Kesiá, y a la tercera Keren Happuk.
15 And there were no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job in all the earth: and their father gave them a heritage among their brothers.
No se hallaron en toda aquella tierra mujeres tan hermosas como las hijas de Job; y les dio su padre herencia entre sus hermanos.
16 And after this Job had a hundred and forty years of life, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
Job vivió después de esto ciento cuarenta años; y vio a sus hijos y a los hijos de sus hijos hasta la cuarta generación.
17 And Job came to his end, old and full of days.
Y murió Job anciano y colmado de días.
