Job 42
1 Then Job replied to Yahweh. [He said],
Τότε απεκρίθη ο Ιώβ προς τον Κύριον και είπεν·
2 “I know that you can do everything and that no one can stop you from doing what you want to do.
Εξεύρω ότι δύνασαι τα πάντα, και ουδείς στοχασμός σου δύναται να εμποδισθή.
3 [You asked me], ‘(Who are you, who by speaking ignorantly, question what I plan to do?/You have no right to question what I plan to do by speaking ignorantly.)’ [RHQ] It is true that I spoke about things that I did not understand, things that are very wonderful/marvelous, and therefore I am not able to know them.
Τις ούτος ο κρύπτων την βουλήν ασυνέτως; Εγώ λοιπόν προέφερα εκείνο, το οποίον δεν ενόουν. Πράγματα υπερθαύμαστα δι' εμέ, τα οποία δεν εγνώριζον.
4 You said to me, ‘Listen while I talk to you. I want to ask you some questions, so prepare yourself to answer them.’
Άκουσον, δέομαι· και εγώ θέλω λαλήσει· θέλω σε ερωτήσει, και συ δίδαξόν με.
5 I had heard about you previously, but now [it is as though] I have seen you with my own eyes.
Ήκουον περί σου με την ακοήν του ωτίου, αλλά τώρα ο οφθαλμός μου σε βλέπει·
6 Therefore I (am ashamed of/withdraw) what I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show that I am sorry [for what I said].”
διά τούτο βδελύττομαι εμαυτόν, και μετανοώ εν χώματι και σποδώ.
7 After Yahweh said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz, “I am angry with you and your two friends, [Bildad and Zophar], because what my servant Job said about me was right/true, but what you have spoken about me was not right/true.
Αφού δε ο Κύριος ελάλησε τους λόγους τούτους προς τον Ιώβ, είπεν ο Κύριος προς Ελιφάς τον Θαιμανίτην, Ο θυμός μου εξήφθη κατά σου και κατά των δύο φίλων σου· διότι δεν ελαλήσατε περί εμού το ορθόν ως ο δούλός μου Ιώβ·
8 So now you must take to Job seven young bulls and seven rams and [kill them and] burn them on the altar as a sacrifice for yourselves. Then Job will pray for you, and I will do what he requests me to do, [and I will forgive you for speaking wrongly about me]. I will not punish you, even though you deserve to be punished, because what you said about me was not right/true, but what Job said about me was right/true.”
διά τούτο λάβετε τώρα εις εαυτούς επτά μόσχους και επτά κριούς και υπάγετε προς τον δούλον μου Ιώβ, και προσφέρετε ολοκαύτωμα υπέρ εαυτών· ο δε Ιώβ ο δούλός μου θέλει ικετεύσει υπέρ υμών· διότι θέλω δεχθή το πρόσωπον αυτού· διά να μη πράξω με σας κατά την αφροσύνην σας· διότι δεν ελαλήσατε περί εμού το ορθόν ως ο δούλός μου Ιώβ.
9 So Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar did what Yahweh commanded them to do, and Yahweh did what Job requested him to do [for the three of them].
Και υπήγον Ελιφάς ο Θαιμανίτης και Βιλδάδ ο Σαυχίτης και Σωφάρ ο Νααμαθίτης, και έκαμον ως προσέταξεν εις αυτούς ο Κύριος· ο δε Κύριος εδέχθη το πρόσωπον του Ιώβ.
10 After Job prayed for his three friends, Yahweh [healed him and] caused him to become rich again. Yahweh gave him twice as many things as he had before.
Και έστρεψεν ο Κύριος την αιχμαλωσίαν του Ιώβ, αφού προσηυχήθη υπέρ των φίλων αυτού· και έδωκεν ο Κύριος εις τον Ιώβ διπλάσια πάντων των όσα είχε πρότερον.
11 Then all his brothers and sisters, and all the people who had known him before, came to his house, and they ate a meal together. They consoled/comforted [DOU] him because of all the troubles that Yahweh had allowed him to experience.
Τότε ήλθον προς αυτόν πάντες οι αδελφοί αυτού και πάσαι αι αδελφαί αυτού και πάντες οι γνωρίζοντες αυτόν πρότερον, και έφαγον άρτον μετ' αυτού εν τω οίκω αυτού· και συνέκλαυσαν με αυτόν και παρηγόρησαν αυτόν περί παντός του κακού, το οποίον ο Κύριος επέφερεν επ' αυτόν· και έδωκαν έκαστος εις αυτόν εν αργύριον και έκαστος εν χρυσούν ενώτιον.
12 Then Yahweh blessed Job in the second half of his life more than he had blessed him in the first half of his life. He now acquired/owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 2,000 oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
Και ευλόγησεν ο Κύριος τα έσχατα του Ιώβ μάλλον παρά τα πρώτα· ώστε απέκτησε δεκατέσσαρας χιλιάδας προβάτων και εξακισχιλίας καμήλους και χίλια ζεύγη βοών και χιλίας όνους.
13 And he also had seven [more] sons and three [more] daughters.
Εγεννήθησαν έτι εις αυτόν επτά υιοί και τρεις θυγατέρες·
14 He named the first daughter Jemimah, he named the second daughter Keziah, and he named the third daughter Keren-Happuch.
και εκάλεσε το όνομα της πρώτης Ιεμιμά· και το όνομα της δευτέρας Κεσιά· και το όνομα της τρίτης Κερέν-αππούχ·
15 In all of [Uz] land there were no young women who were as beautiful as the daughters of Job, and Job declared that they would inherit some of his possessions, just like their brothers would inherit some.
και δεν ευρίσκοντο εφ' όλης της γης γυναίκες ώραίαι ως αι θυγατέρες του Ιώβ· και ο πατήρ αυτών έδωκεν εις αυτάς κληρονομίαν μεταξύ των αδελφών αυτών.
16 After that, Job lived 140 more years. Before he died, he (saw/enjoyed being with) his great-great-grandchildren.
Μετά ταύτα έζησεν ο Ιώβ εκατόν τεσσαράκοντα έτη, και είδε τους υιούς αυτού και τους υιούς των υιών αυτού, τετάρτην γενεάν.
17 He was very old [DOU] when he died.
και ετελεύτησεν ο Ιώβ, γέρων και πλήρης ημερών.
