Job 42
1 Forsothe Joob answeride to the Lord, and seide,
Respondens autem Iob Domino, dixit:
2 Y woot, that thou maist alle thingis, and no thouyt is hid fro thee.
Scio quia omnia potes, et nulla te latet cogitatio.
3 Who is this, that helith counsel with out kunnyng? Therfor Y spak vnwiseli, and tho thingis that passiden ouer mesure my kunnyng.
Quis est iste, qui celat consilium absque scientia? ideo insipienter locutus sum, et quae ultra modum excederent scientiam meam.
4 Here thou, and Y schal speke; Y schal axe thee, and answere thou to me.
Audi, et ego loquar: interrogabo te, et responde mihi.
5 Bi heryng of eere Y herde thee, but now myn iye seeth thee.
Auditu auris audivi te, nunc autem oculus meus videt te.
6 Therfor Y repreue me, and do penaunce in deed sparcle and aische.
Idcirco ipse me reprehendo, et ago poenitentiam in favilla et cinere.
7 Forsothe aftir that the Lord spak these wordis to Joob, he seide to Eliphat Themanytes, My stronge veniaunce is wrooth ayens thee, and ayens thi twey frendis; for ye `spaken not bifor me riytful thing, as my seruaunt Joob dide.
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 Therfor take ye to you seuene bolis, and seuene rammes; and go ye to my seruaunt Joob, and offre ye brent sacrifice for you. Forsothe Joob, my seruaunt, schal preie for you; Y schal resseyue his face, that foli be not arettid to you; for ye `spaken not bifor me riytful thing, as my seruaunt Joob dide.
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 Therfor Eliphat Themanytes, and Baldach Suythes, and Sophar Naamathites, yeden, and diden, as the Lord hedde spoke to hem; and the Lord resseyuede the face of Joob.
Abierunt ergo Eliphaz Themanites, et Baldad Suhites, et Sophar Naamathites, et fecerunt sicut locutus fuerat Dominus ad eos, et suscepit Dominus faciem Iob.
10 Also the Lord was conuertid to the penaunce of Joob, whanne he preiede for hise frendis. And the Lord addide alle thingis double, whiche euere weren of Joob.
Dominus quoque conversus est ad poenitentiam Iob, cum oraret ille pro amicis suis. Et addidit Dominus omnia quaecumque fuerant Iob, duplicia.
11 Sotheli alle hise britheren, and alle hise sistris, and alle that knewen hym bifore, camen to hym; and thei eeten breed with hym in his hows, and moueden the heed on hym; and thei coumfortiden hym of al the yuel, which the Lord hadde brouyt in on hym; and thei yauen to hym ech man o scheep, and o goldun eere ring.
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 Forsothe the Lord blesside the laste thingis of Joob, more than the bigynnyng of hym; and fouretene thousynde of scheep weren maad to hym, and sixe thousinde of camels, and a thousynde yockis of oxis, and a thousynde femal assis.
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 hadde seuene sones, and thre douytris;
Et fuerunt ei septem filii, et tres filiae.
14 and he clepide the name of o douytir Dai, and the name of the secounde douytir Cassia, and the name of the thridde douytir `An horn of wymmens oynement.
Et vocavit nomen unius Diem, et nomen secundae Cassiam, et nomen tertiae Cornustibii.
15 `Sotheli no wymmen weren foundun so faire in al erthe, as the douytris of Joob; and her fadir yaf eritage to hem among her britheren.
Non sunt autem inventae mulieres speciosae sicut filiae Iob in universa terra: deditque eis pater suus hereditatem inter fratres earum.
16 Forsothe Joob lyuede aftir these betyngis an hundrid and fourti yeer, and `siy hise sones, and the sones of hise sones, `til to the fourthe generacioun;
Vixit autem Iob post haec, centum quadraginta annis, et vidit filios suos, et filios filiorum suorum usque ad quartam generationem,
17 and he was deed eld, and ful of daies.
et mortuus est senex, et plenus dierum.
