Job 42
1 Then Job replied to Yahweh. [He said],
| سپس ایوب در جواب خداوند چنین گفت: |
2 “I know that you can do everything and that no one can stop you from doing what you want to do.
| می‌دانم که تو هر چه اراده کنی می‌توانی انجام دهی. |
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.
| می‌پرسی: «کیست که با حرفهای پوچ و بی‌معنی منکر حکمت من می‌شود؟» آن شخص منم. من نمی‌دانستم چه می‌گفتم. دربارهٔ چیزهایی سخن می‌گفتم که فراتر از عقل من بود. |
4 You said to me, ‘Listen while I talk to you. I want to ask you some questions, so prepare yourself to answer them.’
| تو از من خواستی که به سخنانت گوش کنم و به سؤالی که از من می‌پرسی پاسخ دهم. |
5 I had heard about you previously, but now [it is as though] I have seen you with my own eyes.
| پیش از این گوش من دربارهٔ تو چیزهایی شنیده بود، ولی اکنون چشم من تو را می‌بیند! |
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].”
| از این جهت از خود بیزار شده در خاک و خاکستر توبه می‌کنم. |
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.
| هنگامی که خداوند صحبت خود را با ایوب تمام کرد، به الیفاز تیمانی فرمود: «از تو و از دو رفیقت خشمگین هستم، زیرا سخنان شما دربارهٔ من مانند سخنان خدمتگزارم ایوب، درست نبوده است. |
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.”
| اکنون هفت گوساله و هفت قوچ بگیرید و پیش بنده‌ام ایوب بروید و آنها را برای گناه خود قربانی کنید؛ و خدمتگزارم ایوب برای شما دعا خواهد کرد و من دعای او را مستجاب نموده، از مجازات شما درمی‌گذرم. زیرا سخنان شما دربارهٔ من مانند سخنان خدمتگزارم ایوب، درست نبوده است.» |
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].
| پس الیفاز تیمانی، بلدد شوحی و صوفر نعماتی همان‌طور که خداوند امر فرموده بود عمل کردند و خداوند دعای ایوب را در حق ایشان اجابت نمود. |
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.
| آنگاه، پس از آنکه ایوب برای دوستان خود دعا کرد، خداوند ثروت و خوشبختی از دست رفته‌اش را به او بازگردانید. در واقع، خداوند دو برابر آنچه را که ایوب قبلاً داشت به او بخشید. |
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.
| آنگاه تمام برادران و خواهران و دوستان سابقش پیش او آمده، در خانه‌اش با او جشن گرفتند و او را که خداوند به مصیبتها مبتلا کرده بود تسلی دادند و هر کدام از آنها پول و انگشتر طلا برایش هدیه آوردند. |
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.
| به این ترتیب خداوند، ایوب را بیش از پیش برکت داد. ایوب صاحب چهارده هزار گوسفند، شش هزار شتر، هزار جفت گاو و هزار ماده الاغ شد. |
13 And he also had seven [more] sons and three [more] daughters.
| همچنین خدا به او هفت پسر و سه دختر داد. اسامی دختران ایوب از این قرار بود: یمیمه، قصیعه و قرن هفوک. |
14 He named the first daughter Jemimah, he named the second daughter Keziah, and he named the third daughter Keren-Happuch.
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.
| در تمام آن سرزمین دخترانی به زیبایی دختران ایوب نبودند، و پدرشان به آنها هم مانند برادرانشان ارث داد. |
16 After that, Job lived 140 more years. Before he died, he (saw/enjoyed being with) his great-great-grandchildren.
| پس از آن، ایوب صد و چهل سال دیگر عمر کرد و فرزندان خود را تا پشت چهارم دید. |
17 He was very old [DOU] when he died.
| او سرانجام پس از یک زندگی طولانی در حالی که پیر و سالخورده شده بود وفات یافت. |
