< Job 42 >

1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
Respondens autem Iob Domino, dixit:
2 I know that you can do every thing, and that no thought can be withheld from you.
Scio quia omnia potes, et nulla te latet cogitatio.
3 Who is he that hides counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
Quis est iste, qui celat consilium absque scientia? ideo insipienter locutus sum, et quæ ultra modum excederent scientiam meam.
4 Hear, I beseech you, and I will speak: I will demand of you, and declare you to me.
Audi, et ego loquar: interrogabo te, et responde mihi.
5 I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear: but now my eye sees you.
Auditu auris audivi te, nunc autem oculus meus videt te.
6 Why I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
Idcirco ipse me reprehendo, et ago pœnitentiam in favilla et cinere.
7 And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends: for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
Postquam autem locutus est Dominus verba hæc ad Iob, dixit ad Eliphaz Themanitem: Iratus est furor meus in te, et in duos amicos tuos, quoniam non estis locuti coram me rectum, sicut servus meus Iob.
8 Therefore take to you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that you have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.
Sumite ergo vobis septem tauros, et septem arietes, et ite ad servum meum Iob, et offerte holocaustum pro vobis: Iob autem servus meum orabit pro vobis: faciem eius suscipiam ut non vobis imputetur stultitia: neque enim locuti estis ad me recta, sicut servus meus Iob.
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.
Abierunt ergo Eliphaz Themanites, et Baldad Suhites, et Sophar Naamathites, et fecerunt sicut locutus fuerat Dominus ad eos, et suscepit Dominus faciem Iob.
10 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
Dominus quoque conversus est ad pœnitentiam Iob, cum oraret ille pro amicis suis. Et addidit Dominus omnia quæcumque fuerant Iob, duplicia.
11 Then came there to him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought on him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
Venerunt autem ad eum omnes fratres sui, et universæ sorores suæ, et cuncti qui noverant eum prius, et comederunt cum eo panem in domo eius: et moverunt super eum caput, et consolati sunt eum super omni malo quod intulerat Dominus super eum: Et dederunt ei unusquisque ovem unam, et inaurem auream unam.
12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
Dominus autem benedixit novissimis Iob magis quam principio eius. Et facta sunt ei quatuordecim millia ovium, et sex millia camelorum, et mille iuga boum, et mille asinæ.
13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
Et fuerunt ei septem filii, et tres filiæ.
14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.
Et vocavit nomen unius Diem, et nomen secundæ Cassiam, et nomen tertiæ Cornustibii.
15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.
Non sunt autem inventæ mulieres speciosæ sicut filiæ Iob in universa terra: deditque eis pater suus hereditatem inter fratres earum.
16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations.
Vixit autem Iob post hæc, centum quadraginta annis, et vidit filios suos, et filios filiorum suorum usque ad quartam generationem,
17 So Job died, being old and full of days.
et mortuus est senex, et plenus dierum.
