< Job 42 >

1 Then Job answered Jehovah, and said:
Respondens autem Iob Domino, dixit:
2 I know that thou canst do every thing, And that no purpose of thine can be hindered.
Scio quia omnia potes, et nulla te latet cogitatio.
3 Who is he that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Thus have I uttered what 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 quae ultra modum excederent scientiam meam.
4 Hear thou, then, I beseech thee, and I will speak! I will ask thee, and do thou instruct me!
Audi, et ego loquar: interrogabo te, et responde mihi.
5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; But now hath mine eye seen thee.
Auditu auris audivi te, nunc autem oculus meus videt te.
6 Wherefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes.
Idcirco ipse me reprehendo, et ago poenitentiam in favilla et cinere.
7 And when Jehovah had spoken these words unto Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite: “My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken concerning me that which is right, as hath my servant Job.
Postquam autem locutus est Dominus verba haec 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 Take ye, therefore, seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer for yourselves a burnt-offering, and my servant Job shall pray for you; for to him alone will I have regard; that I deal not with you according to your folly. For ye have not spoken concerning me that which is right, as hath 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 as Jehovah commanded them; and Jehovah had regard to 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 Jehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends, and Jehovah gave him twice as much as he had before.
Dominus quoque conversus est ad poenitentiam Iob, cum oraret ille pro amicis suis. Et addidit Dominus omnia quaecumque fuerant Iob, duplicia.
11 Then came to him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and ate bread with him in his house; and condoled with him, and comforted him over all the evil which Jehovah had brought upon him; and every one gave him a piece of money [[a kesita]], and every one a ring of gold.
Venerunt autem ad eum omnes fratres sui, et universae sorores suae, 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 Thus Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than the beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.
Dominus autem benedixit novissimis Iob magis quam principio eius. Et facta sunt ei quattuordecim millia ovium, et sex millia camelorum, et mille iuga boum, et mille asinae.
13 He had also seven sons, and three daughters.
Et fuerunt ei septem filii, et tres filiae.
14 And he called the name of the first Jemima, of the second Kezia, and of the third Kerenhappuch.
Et vocavit nomen unius Diem, et nomen secundae Cassiam, et nomen tertiae Cornustibii.
15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brethren.
Non sunt autem inventae mulieres speciosae sicut filiae Iob in universa terra: deditque eis pater suus hereditatem inter fratres earum.
16 And Job lived after this a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
Vixit autem Iob post haec, centum quadraginta annis, et vidit filios suos, et filios filiorum suorum usque ad quartam generationem,
17 Then Job died, being old and satisfied with days.
et mortuus est senex, et plenus dierum.
