< Job 42 >

1 Then Job responded to Yahweh, and said: —
Respondens autem Iob Domino, dixit:
2 I know that, all things, thou canst do, and that no purpose can be withholden from thee.
Scio quia omnia potes, et nulla te latet cogitatio.
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.
Quis est iste, qui celat consilium absque scientia? ideo insipienter locutus sum, et quae ultra modum excederent scientiam meam.
4 Hear thou, I pray thee, and, I, will speak, I will ask thee, and inform thou me.
Audi, et ego loquar: interrogabo te, et responde mihi.
5 By the hearing of the ear, had I heard thee, but, now, mine own eye, hath seen thee.
Auditu auris audivi te, nunc autem oculus meus videt te.
6 For this cause, I tremble and repent, on dust and ashes.
Idcirco ipse me reprehendo, et ago poenitentiam in favilla et cinere.
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.
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 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.
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 according to that which Yahweh had spoken unto them, —and Yahweh accepted 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, 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.
Dominus quoque conversus est ad poenitentiam Iob, cum oraret ille pro amicis suis. Et addidit Dominus omnia quaecumque fuerant Iob, duplicia.
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.
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 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.
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 And he came to have seven sons, and three daughters;
Et fuerunt ei septem filii, et tres filiae.
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.
Et vocavit nomen unius Diem, et nomen secundae Cassiam, et nomen tertiae Cornustibii.
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.
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, four generations.
Vixit autem Iob post haec, centum quadraginta annis, et vidit filios suos, et filios filiorum suorum usque ad quartam generationem,
17 So Job died, old and satisfied with days.
et mortuus est senex, et plenus dierum.
