Job 42
1 Then Job responded to Yahweh, and said: —
約伯回答上主說：
2 I know that, all things, thou canst do, and that no purpose can be withholden from thee.
我知道你事事都能，你所有的計劃，沒有不實現的。
3 Who is it that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore, have I declared, but not understood, things too wonderful for me, which I could 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 Hear thou, I pray thee, and, I, will speak, I will ask thee, and inform thou me.
請你聽我發言；我求你指教我。
5 By the hearing of the ear, had I heard thee, but, now, mine own eye, hath seen thee.
以前我只聽見了有關你的事，現今我親眼見了你。
6 For this cause, I tremble and repent, 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 came to pass, after Yahweh had spoken these words unto Job, that Yahweh, said unto Eliphaz the Temanite, Kindled is mine anger against thee and against thy two friends, for ye have not spoken concerning me the thing that is right, 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 Now, therefore, take unto you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go unto my servant Job, and ye shall offer up an ascending-sacrifice in your own behalf, and, Job my servant, shall pray over you, —for, him, will I accept, that I may not deal out to you disgrace, because ye have not spoken concerning me the thing that is right, 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 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite [and] Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according to that which Yahweh had spoken unto them, —and Yahweh accepted 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, Yahweh himself, turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed in behalf of his friends, —and Yahweh increased all that Job had possessed, unto twice as much.
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 Then came unto him all his brethren and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and they did eat bread with him in his house, —and shewed sympathy with him and comforted him, over all the calamity which Yahweh had brought upon him, —and they gave him, every one a weight of money, and every one, a 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, Yahweh, blessed the latter end of Job, more than his beginning, —and so he came to have fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.
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 came to have seven sons, and three daughters;
他又生了七個兒子和三個女兒。
14 and he called 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 were found no women so fair as the daughters of Job, in all the land, —and their father gave them an inheritance, in the midst of their brethren.
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 lived, after this, a hundred and forty years, —and saw 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 So Job died, old and satisfied with days.
約伯壽高年老，已享天年，遂與世長辭。
