Job 42
1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
そこでヨブは主に答えて言った、
2 I know that thou canst do all things, and that no purpose of thine can be restrained.
「わたしは知ります、あなたはすべての事をなすことができ、またいかなるおぼしめしでも、あなたにできないことはないことを。
3 Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that which I understood not, things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
『無知をもって神の計りごとをおおうこの者はだれか』。それゆえ、わたしはみずから悟らない事を言い、みずから知らない、測り難い事を述べました。
4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak; I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
『聞け、わたしは語ろう、わたしはあなたに尋ねる、わたしに答えよ』。
5 I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; but now mine eye seeth thee,
わたしはあなたの事を耳で聞いていましたが、今はわたしの目であなたを拝見いたします。
6 Wherefore I abhor [myself], and repent in dust and ashes.
それでわたしはみずから恨み、ちり灰の中で悔います」。
7 And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
主はこれらの言葉をヨブに語られて後、テマンびとエリパズに言われた、「わたしの怒りはあなたとあなたのふたりの友に向かって燃える。あなたがたが、わたしのしもべヨブのように正しい事をわたしについて述べなかったからである。
8 Now therefore, take unto you seven bullocks 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 him will I accept, that I deal not with you after your folly; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
それで今、あなたがたは雄牛七頭、雄羊七頭を取って、わたしのしもべヨブの所へ行き、あなたがたのために燔祭をささげよ。わたしのしもべヨブはあなたがたのために祈るであろう。わたしは彼の祈を受けいれるによって、あなたがたの愚かを罰することをしない。あなたがたはわたしのしもべヨブのように正しい事をわたしについて述べなかったからである」。
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: and the LORD accepted Job.
そこでテマンびとエリパズ、シュヒびとビルダデ、ナアマびとゾパルは行って、主が彼らに命じられたようにしたので、主はヨブの祈を受けいれられた。
10 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: and the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
ヨブがその友人たちのために祈ったとき、主はヨブの繁栄をもとにかえし、そして主はヨブのすべての財産を二倍に増された。
11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one a ring of gold.
そこで彼のすべての兄弟、すべての姉妹、および彼の旧知の者どもことごとく彼のもとに来て、彼と共にその家で飲み食いし、かつ主が彼にくだされたすべての災について彼をいたわり、慰め、おのおの銀一ケシタと金の輪一つを彼に贈った。
12 So 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.
主はヨブの終りを初めよりも多く恵まれた。彼は羊一万四千頭、らくだ六千頭、牛一千くびき、雌ろば一千頭をもった。
13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
また彼は男の子七人、女の子三人をもった。
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.
彼はその第一の娘をエミマと名づけ、第二をケジアと名づけ、第三をケレン・ハップクと名づけた。
15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
全国のうちでヨブの娘たちほど美しい女はなかった。父はその兄弟たちと同様に嗣業を彼らにも与えた。
16 And after this Job lived an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, [even] four generations.
この後、ヨブは百四十年生きながらえて、その子とその孫と四代までを見た。
17 So Job died, being old and full of days.
ヨブは年老い、日満ちて死んだ。
