Job 42
1 Then Job replied to Yahweh. [He said],
E GIOBBE rispose al Signore, e disse:
2 “I know that you can do everything and that no one can stop you from doing what you want to do.
Io so che tu puoi tutto; E che cosa niuna che tu abbia deliberata, non può essere impedita.
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.
Chi [è] costui, che oscura il consiglio senza scienza? Perciò, io ho dichiarata [la mia opinione], Ma io non intendeva [ciò ch'io diceva]; [Son cose] maravigliose sopra la mia capacità, Ed io non le posso comprendere.
4 You said to me, ‘Listen while I talk to you. I want to ask you some questions, so prepare yourself to answer them.’
Deh! ascolta, ed io parlerò; Ed io ti farò delle domande, e tu insegnami.
5 I had heard about you previously, but now [it is as though] I have seen you with my own eyes.
Io avea con gli orecchi udito [parlar] di te; Ma ora l'occhio mio ti ha veduto.
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].”
Perciò io riprovo [ciò che ho detto], e me [ne] pento In su la polvere, ed in su la cenere.
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.
Ora, dopo che il Signore ebbe dette queste cose a Giobbe, egli disse ancora ad Elifaz Temanita: L'ira mia è accesa contro a te, e contro a' due tuoi compagni; perciocchè voi non mi avete parlato dirittamente, come Giobbe, mio servitore.
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.”
Ora dunque, pigliatevi sette giovenchi, e sette montoni, e andate al mio servitore Giobbe, ed offerite olocausto per voi; e faccia Giobbe, mio servitore, orazione per voi; perciocchè certamente io avrò riguardo a lui, per non farvi portar la pena della [vostra] stoltizia; conciossiachè voi non mi abbiate parlato dirittamente, come Giobbe, mio servitore.
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].
Ed Elifaz Temanita, e Bildad Suhita, e Sofar Naamatita, andarono, e fecero come il Signore avea loro detto. E il Signore esaudì Giobbe.
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.
E il Signore trasse Giobbe della sua cattività, dopo ch'egli ebbe fatta orazione per li suoi amici; e il Signore accrebbe a Giobbe al doppio tutto quello ch'egli avea avuto per l'addietro.
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.
E tutti i suoi fratelli, e tutte le sue sorelle, e tutti i suoi conoscenti di prima, vennero a lui, e mangiarono con lui in casa sua, e si condolsero con lui, e lo consolarono di tutto il male che il Signore avea fatto venir sopra lui; e ciascuno di essi gli donò una pezza di moneta, ed un monile d'oro.
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.
E il Signore benedisse lo stato ultimo di Giobbe, più che il primiero; talchè egli ebbe quattordicimila pecore, e seimila cammelli, e mille paia di buoi, e mille asine.
13 And he also had seven [more] sons and three [more] daughters.
Ed ebbe sette figliuoli e tre figliuole.
14 He named the first daughter Jemimah, he named the second daughter Keziah, and he named the third daughter Keren-Happuch.
E pose nome alla prima Gemima, e alla seconda Chesia, e alla terza Cheren-happuc.
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.
E non si trovarono in tutto quel paese donne alcune belle come le figliuole di Giobbe; e il lor padre diede loro eredità per mezzo i lor fratelli.
16 After that, Job lived 140 more years. Before he died, he (saw/enjoyed being with) his great-great-grandchildren.
E dopo queste cose, Giobbe visse cenquarant'anni, e vide i suoi figliuoli, e i figliuoli de' suoi figliuoli, [infino alla] quarta generazione.
17 He was very old [DOU] when he died.
Poi morì vecchio, e sazio di giorni.
