Job 42
1 Then answered Job unto the Lord, and said,
約伯回答上主說：
2 I acknowledge that thou art able to do every thing, and that no deep plan of thine can be restrained.
我知道你事事都能，你所有的計劃，沒有不實現的。
3 Who is he that dareth to conceal [thy] counsel without knowledge? Truly I have spoken of what I understood not, of things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
是我以無智的話，使你的計劃模糊不明；是我說了無知的話，說了那些超越我智力的話。
4 Oh do but hear [me], and I will indeed speak: I will ask of thee, and do thou inform me.
請你聽我發言；我求你指教我。
5 I had only heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye hath seen thee.
以前我只聽見了有關你的事，現今我親眼見了你。
6 Therefore I reject [what I have said], and repent; because I am dust and ashes.
為此，我收回我所說過的話，坐在灰塵中懺悔。
7 And it came to pass, after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Themanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; because ye have not spoken of me properly, like my servant Job.
上主對約伯說完這些話，就對特曼人厄里法次說：「我應向你和你的兩個友人發怒，因為你們講論我，不如我僕約伯講論的正確。
8 And now take unto yourselves seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up a burnt-offering in your behalf; and my servant Job shall pray for you; for him alone will I receive favorably, so as not to deal with you after your folly; because ye have not spoken of me properly, like my servant Job.
現在你們要牽七頭公牛，和七隻公羊到我僕約伯那裏，叫他為你們奉獻全燔祭，也叫他為你們祈禱，因為我要看他的情面，不懲罰你們的糊塗，因為你們講論我，不如我僕約伯講的正確。」
9 Then went Eliphaz the Themanite and Bildad the Shuchite and Zophar the Na'amathite, and did in accordance with what the Lord had spoken to them: and the Lord received Job in favor.
於是，特曼人厄里法次、叔亞人彼耳達得、納阿瑪人左法爾依照上主所吩咐的作了；上主就看了約伯的情面，饒恕了他們。
10 And the Lord brought back the captivity of Job, when he prayed in behalf of his friends; and the Lord increased all that Job had had twofold.
約伯為他的朋友祈禱之後，上主就恢復了約伯原有的狀況，還照約伯以前所有的，加倍地賜給了他。
11 And then came unto him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all that had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house; and they condoled with him, and comforted him for all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him; and they gave him, every one, a kessitah, and every one an earring of gold.
約伯的兄弟和姊妹，並以前相識的人都來看望他，在他家中同他一起用飯；對於上主降於他的一切災禍，都向他表示同情，安慰他；每人還贈給他一枚金幣和一個金戒指。
12 And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: and he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.
上主賜給約伯以後的福分，遠勝過以前所有的；他擁有一萬四千隻羊，六千匹駱駝，一千對牛，一千頭母驢。
13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
他又生了七個兒子和三個女兒。
14 And he called the name of the first Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
他給長女起名叫耶米瑪，次女叫刻漆雅，三女叫刻楞哈普客。
15 And there were not found such handsome women as the daughters of Job in all the land; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
那地方的女子沒有比約伯的女兒更美麗的；她們的父親也使她們和兄弟們一樣承受家產。
16 And Job lived after this one hundred and forty years: and he saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
以後，約伯又活了一百四十歲，見了他的兒子、孫子，直到第四代。
17 Then died Job, being old and full of days.
約伯壽高年老，已享天年，遂與世長辭。
