Job 42
1 Then Job, responding to the Lord, said:
Entonces Job respondió a Yahvé:
2 I know that you are able to do all things, and that no thoughts are hidden from you.
“Sé que todo lo puedes hacer, y que ningún propósito tuyo puede ser frenado.
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.
Preguntasteis: “¿Quién es ese que esconde el consejo sin conocimiento?”. por lo que he pronunciado lo que no entendía, cosas demasiado maravillosas para mí, que no conocía.
4 Listen, and I will speak. I will question you, and you may answer me.
Dijiste: “Escucha, ahora, y yo hablaré; Te interrogaré y tú me responderás’.
5 By paying attention with the ear, I have heard you, but now my eye sees you.
Había oído hablar de ti por el oído, pero ahora mi ojo te ve.
6 Therefore, I find myself reprehensible, and I will do penance in embers and ashes.
Por eso me aborrezco, y arrepentirse 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.
Fue así que, después de que Yahvé hubo pronunciado estas palabras a Job, Yahvé dijo a Elifaz el temanita: “Mi ira se ha encendido contra ti y contra tus dos amigos, porque no habéis hablado de mí lo que es justo, como lo ha hecho 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, pues, tomad para vosotros siete toros y siete carneros, e id a mi siervo Job, y ofreced para vosotros un holocausto; y mi siervo Job rogará por vosotros, pues yo lo aceptaré, para que no os trate según vuestra insensatez. Porque no habéis hablado de mí lo que es justo, 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.
Entonces Elifaz, el temanita, Bildad, el suhita, y Zofar, el naamatita, fueron e hicieron lo que Yahvé les ordenó, y Yahvé aceptó a 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.
Yahvé restauró la prosperidad de Job cuando éste oró por sus amigos. El Señor le dio a Job el doble de lo que tenía antes.
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.
Entonces todos sus hermanos, todas sus hermanas y todos los que antes lo conocían, vinieron a él y comieron con él en su casa. Lo consolaron, y lo consolaron por todo el mal que el Señor le había hecho pasar. Todos le dieron también una pieza de dinero, y todos 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.
Así, el Señor bendijo el final de Job más que su principio. Tenía catorce mil ovejas, seis mil camellos, mil yuntas de bueyes y mil burras.
13 And he had seven sons and three daughters.
Tenía 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 la llamó Jemimah, a la segunda Keziah y a la tercera Keren Happuch.
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.
En toda la tierra no se encontraron mujeres tan hermosas como las hijas de Job. Su padre les dio una 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,
Después de esto, Job vivió ciento cuarenta años, y vio a sus hijos, y a los hijos de sus hijos, hasta cuatro generaciones.
17 and he died an old man and full of days.
Así murió Job, siendo viejo y lleno de días.
