< Job 42 >

1 Then Job answered YHWH,
Respondens autem Job Domino, dixit:
2 "I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.
Scio quia omnia potes, et nulla te latet cogitatio.
3 You asked, 'Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?' therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
Quis est iste qui celat consilium absque scientia? ideo insipienter locutus sum, et quæ ultra modum excederent scientiam meam.
4 You said, 'Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.'
Audi, et ego loquar: interrogabo te, et responde mihi.
5 I had 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 Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes."
Idcirco ipse me reprehendo, et ago pœnitentiam in favilla et cinere.
7 It was so, that after YHWH had spoken these words to Job, YHWH 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 Job, 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 Job.
8 Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls 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 I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has."
Sumite ergo vobis septem tauros et septem arietes, et ite ad servum meum Job, et offerte holocaustum pro vobis: Job autem servus meus orabit pro vobis. Faciem ejus suscipiam, ut non vobis imputetur stultitia: neque enim locuti estis ad me recta, sicut servus meus Job.
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did what YHWH commanded them, and YHWH accepted Job.
Abierunt ergo Eliphaz Themanites, et Baldad Suhites, et Sophar Naamathites, et fecerunt sicut locutus fuerat Dominus ad eos: et suscepit Dominus faciem Job.
10 YHWH turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends. YHWH gave Job twice as much as he had before.
Dominus quoque conversus est ad pœnitentiam Job, cum oraret ille pro amicis suis: et addidit Dominus omnia quæcumque fuerant Job, duplicia.
11 Then came there to him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that YHWH had permitted on him. And each of them gave him a kesitah and a gold ring.
Venerunt autem ad eum omnes fratres sui, et universæ sorores suæ, et cuncti qui noverant eum prius, et comederunt cum eo panem in domo ejus: 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 YHWH blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.
Dominus autem benedixit novissimis Job magis quam principio ejus: et facta sunt ei quatuordecim millia ovium, et sex millia camelorum, et mille juga boum, et mille asinæ.
13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
Et fuerunt ei septem filii, et tres filiæ.
14 He called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren Happuch.
Et vocavit nomen unius Diem, et nomen secundæ Cassiam, et nomen tertiæ Cornustibii.
15 In all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job. Their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
Non sunt autem inventæ mulieres speciosæ sicut filiæ Job in universa terra: deditque eis pater suus hæreditatem inter fratres earum.
16 After this Job lived one hundred forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, to four generations.
Vixit autem Job 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.
