< Job 42 >

1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
Entonces Job respondió a Yavé:
2 I know that thou canst do every [thing], and [that] no thought can be withheld from thee.
Reconozco que todo lo puedes, y que ningún propósito tuyo te puede ser estorbado.
3 Who [is] he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that which I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
¿Quién es el que oscurece el consejo sin entendimiento? ¡Yo! Porque hablaba lo que no entendía, cosas demasiado maravillosas para mí que no entendía.
4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will ask of thee, and declare thou to me.
Escúchame, te ruego, y hablaré. Te preguntaré, y Tú me enseñarás:
5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now my eye seeth thee.
De oídas te oí, pero ahora cuando mis ojos te miran,
6 Wherefore I abhor [myself], and repent in dust and ashes.
me aborrezco, me arrepiento y me echo en polvo y ceniza.
7 And it was [so], that after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me [the thing that is] right, as my servant Job [hath].
Después que Yavé habló estas Palabras a Job, aconteció que Yavé dijo a Elifaz temanita: Mi ira se encendió contra ti y contra tus dos amigos, porque no hablaron lo recto de Mí, como mi esclavo Job.
8 Therefore take to you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer for yourselves a burnt-offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you [after your] folly, in that ye have not spoken of me [the thing which is] right, like my servant Job.
Tomen, pues, siete becerros y siete carneros, y vayan a mi esclavo Job y ofrezcan holocausto por ustedes. Mi esclavo Job intercederá por ustedes, porque Yo levantaré su rostro, para no hacer con ustedes conforme a su insensatez, pues no hablaron de Mí lo recto, como mi esclavo Job.
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite [and] Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.
Elifaz temanita, Bildad sujita y Sofar naamatita fueron e hicieron como Yavé les ordenó. Y Yavé levantó el rostro de Job.
10 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
Al orar por sus amigos, Yavé restauró a Job de su cautividad y aumentó al doble todo lo que poseyó.
11 Then came there to him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house: and they condoled with him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an ear-ring of gold.
Llegaron a él todos sus hermanos y hermanas, y todos sus antiguos conocidos. Comieron con él en su casa, y se condolieron de él. Lo consolaron por toda la desgracia que Yavé trajo sobre él. Y cada uno le dio una pieza de plata y un anillo de oro.
12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
Yavé bendijo los últimos días de Job más que los primeros, porque tuvo 14.000 ovejas, 6.000 camellos, 1.000 yuntas de bueyes, 1.000 asnas,
13 He had also seven sons, and three daughters.
y siete hijos y tres hijas.
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.
A la primera llamó Jemima, a la segunda Casia y a la tercera, Keren-hapuc.
15 And in all the land were no women found [so] fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
En toda la tierra no había mujeres tan hermosas como las hijas de Job, y su padre les dio herencia entre sus hermanos.
16 After this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, [even] four generations.
Después de estas cosas, Job vivió 140 años, y vio a sus hijos y a sus nietos hasta la cuarta generación.
17 So Job died, [being] old and full of days.
Murió anciano y lleno de días.
