Job 42
1 Job répondit à Yahweh et dit:
Then answered Job unto the Lord, and said,
2 Je sais que tu peux tout, et que pour toi aucun dessein n’est trop difficile.
I acknowledge that thou art able to do every thing, and that no deep plan of thine can be restrained.
3 « Quel est celui qui obscurcit le plan divin, sans savoir? » Oui, j’ai parlé sans intelligence de merveilles qui me dépassent et que j’ignore.
Who is he that dareth to conceal [thy] counsel without knowledge? Truly I have spoken of what I understood not, of things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4 « Ecoute-moi, je vais parler; je t’interrogerai, réponds-moi. »
Oh do but hear [me], and I will indeed speak: I will ask of thee, and do thou inform me.
5 Mon oreille avait entendu parler de toi; mais maintenant mon œil t’a vu.
I had only heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye hath seen thee.
6 C’est pourquoi je me condamne et me repens, sur la poussière et sur la cendre.
Therefore I reject [what I have said], and repent; because I am dust and ashes.
7 Après que Yahweh eut adressé ces paroles à Job, il dit à Eliphaz de Théman: « Ma colère est allumée contre toi et contre tes deux amis, parce que vous n’avez pas parlé de moi selon la vérité, comme l’a fait mon serviteur Job.
And it came to pass, after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Themanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; because ye have not spoken of me properly, like my servant Job.
8 Maintenant, prenez sept jeunes taureaux et sept béliers; puis venez trouver mon serviteur Job, et offrez pour vous un holocauste. Job, mon serviteur, priera pour vous, et c’est par égard pour lui que je ne vous traiterai pas selon votre folie; car vous n’avez pas parlé de moi selon la vérité, comme l’a fait mon serviteur Job. »
And now take unto yourselves seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up a burnt-offering in your behalf; and my servant Job shall pray for you; for him alone will I receive favorably, so as not to deal with you after your folly; because ye have not spoken of me properly, like my servant Job.
9 Eliphaz de Théman, Baldad de Suhé et Sophar de Naaman allèrent donc et firent comme Yahweh leur avait dit; et Yahweh eut égard à la prière de Job.
Then went Eliphaz the Themanite and Bildad the Shuchite and Zophar the Na'amathite, and did in accordance with what the Lord had spoken to them: and the Lord received Job in favor.
10 Yahweh rétablit Job dans son premier état, pendant que Job intercédait pour ses amis, et Yahweh rendit à Job le double de tous ses biens.
And the Lord brought back the captivity of Job, when he prayed in behalf of his friends; and the Lord increased all that Job had had twofold.
11 Ses frères, ses sœurs et ses anciens amis vinrent tous le visiter et mangèrent avec lui dans sa maison. Ils le plaignirent et le consolèrent de tous les malheurs que Yahweh avait fait venir sur lui; et ils lui firent don chacun d’une késita et d’un anneau d’or.
And then came unto him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all that had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house; and they condoled with him, and comforted him for all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him; and they gave him, every one, a kessitah, and every one an earring of gold.
12 Et Yahweh bénit les derniers temps de Job plus encore que les premiers, et il posséda quatorze mille brebis, six mille chameaux, mille paires de bœufs et mille ânesses.
And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: and he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.
13 Il eut sept fils et trois filles;
He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14 il nomma la première Jémima, la deuxième Ketsia et la troisième Kéren-Hapouk.
And he called the name of the first Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
15 On ne trouvait pas dans toute la terre d’aussi belles femmes que les filles de Job, et leur père leur donna une part d’héritage parmi leurs frères.
And there were not found such handsome women as the daughters of Job in all the land; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
16 Job vécut après cela cent quarante ans, et il vit ses fils et les fils de ses fils jusqu’à la quatrième génération.
And Job lived after this one hundred and forty years: and he saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
17 Et Job mourut vieux et rassasié de jours.
Then died Job, being old and full of days.
