Job 42
1 And Job answers YHWH and says:
約伯回答上主說：
2 “You have known that [for] all things You are able, And no purpose is withheld from You.
我知道你事事都能，你所有的計劃，沒有不實現的。
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.
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 Please hear, and I speak; [You said], I ask you, and you cause Me to know.
請你聽我發言；我求你指教我。
5 By the hearing of the ear I heard You, And now my eye has seen You.
以前我只聽見了有關你的事，現今我親眼見了你。
6 Therefore I loathe [it], And I have sighed on dust and ashes.”
為此，我收回我所說過的話，坐在灰塵中懺悔。
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.
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 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.”
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 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.
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 YHWH has turned [to] the captivity of Job in his praying for his friends, and YHWH adds [to] all that Job has—to double.
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 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.
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 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.
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 And he has seven sons and three daughters;
他又生了七個兒子和三個女兒。
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.
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 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.
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 lives after this one hundred and forty years, and sees his sons, and his sons’ sons, 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 and Job dies, aged and satisfied [with] days.
約伯壽高年老，已享天年，遂與世長辭。
