< Job 42 >

1 And Job answers YHWH and says:
فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ ٱلرَّبَّ فَقَالَ:١
2 “You have known that [for] all things You are able, And no purpose is withheld from You.
«قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ تَسْتَطِيعُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، وَلَا يَعْسُرُ عَلَيْكَ أَمْرٌ.٢
3 [You said], Who [is] this hiding counsel without knowledge? Therefore, I have declared, and do not understand, Too wonderful for me, and I do not know.
فَمَنْ ذَا ٱلَّذِي يُخْفِي ٱلْقَضَاءَ بِلَا مَعْرِفَةٍ؟ وَلَكِنِّي قَدْ نَطَقْتُ بِمَا لَمْ أَفْهَمْ. بِعَجَائِبَ فَوْقِي لَمْ أَعْرِفْهَا.٣
4 Please hear, and I speak; [You said], I ask you, and you cause Me to know.
اِسْمَعِ ٱلْآنَ وَأَنَا أَتَكَلَّمُ. أَسْأَلُكَ فَتُعَلِّمُنِي.٤
5 By the hearing of the ear I heard You, And now my eye has seen You.
بِسَمْعِ ٱلْأُذُنِ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ عَنْكَ، وَٱلْآنَ رَأَتْكَ عَيْنِي.٥
6 Therefore I loathe [it], And I have sighed on dust and ashes.”
لِذَلِكَ أَرْفُضُ وَأَنْدَمُ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ وَٱلرَّمَادِ».٦
7 And it comes to pass after YHWH’s speaking these words to Job, that YHWH says to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My anger has burned against you and against your two friends, because you have not spoken correctly concerning Me, like My servant Job.
وَكَانَ بَعْدَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَ أَيُّوبَ بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَالَ لِأَلِيفَازَ ٱلتَّيْمَانِيِّ: «قَدِ ٱحْتَمَى غَضَبِي عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى كِلَا صَاحِبَيْكَ، لِأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَقُولُوا فِيَّ ٱلصَّوَابَ كَعَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ.٧
8 And now, take seven bullocks and seven rams for yourselves, and go to My servant Job, and you have caused a burnt-offering to ascend for yourselves; and Job My servant prays for you, for surely I accept his face, so as not to do folly with you, because you have not spoken correctly concerning Me, like My servant Job.”
وَٱلْآنَ فَخُذُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ سَبْعَةَ ثِيرَانٍ وَسَبْعَةَ كِبَاشٍ وَٱذْهَبُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ، وَأَصْعِدُوا مُحْرَقَةً لِأَجْلِ أَنْفُسِكُمْ، وَعَبْدِي أَيُّوبُ يُصَلِّي مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، لِأَنِّي أَرْفَعُ وَجْهَهُ لِئَلَّا أَصْنَعَ مَعَكُمْ حَسَبَ حَمَاقَتِكُمْ، لِأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَقُولُوا فِيَّ ٱلصَّوَابَ كَعَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ».٨
9 And they go—Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, Zophar the Naamathite—and do as YHWH has spoken to them; and YHWH accepts the face of Job.
فَذَهَبَ أَلِيفَازُ ٱلتَّيْمَانِيُّ وَبِلْدَدُ ٱلشُّوحِيُّ وَصُوفَرُ ٱلنَّعْمَاتِيُّ، وَفَعَلُوا كَمَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَهُمْ. وَرَفَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَجْهَ أَيُّوبَ.٩
10 And YHWH has turned [to] the captivity of Job in his praying for his friends, and YHWH adds [to] all that Job has—to double.
وَرَدَّ ٱلرَّبُّ سَبْيَ أَيُّوبَ لَمَّا صَلَّى لِأَجْلِ أَصْحَابِهِ، وَزَادَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى كُلِّ مَا كَانَ لِأَيُّوبَ ضِعْفًا.١٠
11 And all his brothers come to him, and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and they eat bread with him in his house, and bemoan him, and comfort him concerning all the calamity that YHWH had brought on him, and they each gave to him one kesitah, and each one ring of gold.
فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ كُلُّ إِخْوَتِهِ وَكُلُّ أَخَوَاتِهِ وَكُلُّ مَعَارِفِهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ، وَأَكَلُوا مَعَهُ خُبْزًا فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَرَثَوْا لَهُ وَعَزَّوْهُ عَنْ كُلِّ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي جَلَبَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَعْطَاهُ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمْ قَسِيطَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ قُرْطًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.١١
12 And YHWH has blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning, and he has fourteen thousand of a flock, and six thousand camels, and one thousand pairs of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.
وَبَارَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ آخِرَةَ أَيُّوبَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أُولَاهُ. وَكَانَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ، وَسِتَّةُ آلَافٍ مِنَ ٱلْإِبِلِ، وَأَلْفُ فَدَّانٍ مِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ، وَأَلْفُ أَتَانٍ.١٢
13 And he has seven sons and three daughters;
وَكَانَ لَهُ سَبْعَةُ بَنِينَ وَثَلَاثُ بَنَاتٍ.١٣
14 and he calls the name of the first Jemima, and the name of the second Kezia, and the name of the third Keren-Happuch.
وَسَمَّى ٱسْمَ ٱلْأُولَى يَمِيمَةَ، وَٱسْمَ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ قَصِيعَةَ، وَٱسْمَ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ قَرْنَ هَفُّوكَ.١٤
15 And there have not been found women [as] beautiful as the daughters of Job in all the land, and their father gives to them an inheritance in the midst of their brothers.
وَلَمْ تُوجَدْ نِسَاءٌ جَمِيلَاتٌ كَبَنَاتِ أَيُّوبَ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَأَعْطَاهُنَّ أَبُوهُنَّ مِيرَاثًا بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِهِنَّ.١٥
16 And Job lives after this one hundred and forty years, and sees his sons, and his sons’ sons, four generations;
وَعَاشَ أَيُّوبُ بَعْدَ هَذَا مِئَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، وَرَأَى بَنِيهِ وَبَنِي بَنِيهِ إِلَى أَرْبَعَةِ أَجْيَالٍ.١٦
17 and Job dies, aged and satisfied [with] days.
ثُمَّ مَاتَ أَيُّوبُ شَيْخًا وَشَبْعَانَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ.١٧
