Job 42
1 Then Job, responding to the Lord, said:
Entonces respondió Job a Yahvé, y dijo:
2 I know that you are able to do all things, and that no thoughts are hidden from you.
“Sé que todo lo puedes; para Ti ningún plan es irrealizable.
3 So, who is it that would disguise a lack of knowledge as counsel? Therefore, I have been speaking foolishly, about things whose measure exceeds my knowledge.
¿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 Listen, and I will speak. I will question you, and you may answer me.
«Escucha, pues, y Yo hablaré; Yo preguntaré, y tú me instruirás.»
5 By paying attention with the ear, I have heard you, but now my eye sees you.
Solo de oídas te conocía; mas ahora te ven mis ojos.
6 Therefore, I find myself reprehensible, and I will do penance in embers and ashes.
Por eso me retracto y me arrepiento, envuelto en polvo y ceniza.”
7 But after the Lord had finished speaking these words to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Themanite: My wrath has been kindled against you, and against your two friends, because you have not been speaking correctly in my eyes, as my servant Job has done.
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 Therefore, have seven bulls and seven rams brought to you, and go to my servant Job, and offer these as a holocaust for yourselves. But also, my servant Job will pray for you; I will accept his face, so that foolishness will not be imputed to you. For you have not been speaking correctly about me, as my servant Job has done.
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 So Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Zophar the Naamathite departed, and they did just as the Lord had spoken to them, and the Lord accepted the face of 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 Likewise, the Lord was moved by the repentance of Job, when he prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave to Job twice as much as he had before.
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 Yet all his brethren came to him, and all his sisters, and everyone who had known him before, and they ate bread with him in his house. They also shook their heads over him and comforted him, because of all the bad things that God had inflicted on him. And each one of them gave him one female sheep, and one earring of gold.
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 blessed the latter end of Job even more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand pairs of oxen, and a thousand she-donkeys.
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 called the name of one, Daylight, and the name of the second, Cinnamon, and the name of the third, Horn of Cosmetics.
A la primera le puso por nombre Jemimá, y a la segunda Kesiá, y a la tercera Keren Happuk.
15 And, in the whole world, there were not found women so beautiful as the daughters of Job. And so their father gave them an inheritance along with 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 But Job lived long after these events, for a hundred and forty years, and he saw his children, and his children’s children, all the way to the fourth generation,
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 he died an old man and full of days.
Y murió Job anciano y colmado de días.
