Ἰώβ 42

1 ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ιωβ λέγει τῷ κυρίῳ

Then Job answered Jehovah, and said:

2 οἶδα ὅτι πάντα δύνασαι ἀδυνατεῖ δέ σοι οὐθέν

I know that thou canst do every thing, And that no purpose of thine can be hindered.

3 τίς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ κρύπτων σε βουλήν φειδόμενος δὲ ῥημάτων καὶ σὲ οἴεται κρύπτειν τίς δὲ ἀναγγελεῖ μοι ἃ οὐκ ᾔδειν μεγάλα καὶ θαυμαστὰ ἃ οὐκ ἠπιστάμην

Who is he that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Thus have I uttered what I understood not; Things too wonderful for me, which I knew not:

4 ἄκουσον δέ μου κύριε ἵνα κἀγὼ λαλήσω ἐρωτήσω δέ σε σὺ δέ με δίδαξον

Hear thou, then, I beseech thee, and I will speak! I will ask thee, and do thou instruct me!

5 ἀκοὴν μὲν ὠτὸς ἤκουόν σου τὸ πρότερον νυνὶ δὲ ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἑόρακέν σε

I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; But now hath mine eye seen thee.

6 διὸ ἐφαύλισα ἐμαυτὸν καὶ ἐτάκην ἥγημαι δὲ ἐμαυτὸν γῆν καὶ σποδόν

Wherefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes.

7 ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ τὸ λαλῆσαι τὸν κύριον πάντα τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα τῷ Ιωβ εἶπεν ὁ κύριος Ελιφας τῷ Θαιμανίτῃ ἥμαρτες σὺ καὶ οἱ δύο φίλοι σου οὐ γὰρ ἐλαλήσατε ἐνώπιόν μου ἀληθὲς οὐδὲν ὥσπερ ὁ θεράπων μου Ιωβ

And when Jehovah had spoken these words unto Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite: “My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken concerning me that which is right, as hath my servant Job.

8 νῦν δὲ λάβετε ἑπτὰ μόσχους καὶ ἑπτὰ κριοὺς καὶ πορεύθητε πρὸς τὸν θεράποντά μου Ιωβ καὶ ποιήσει κάρπωσιν περὶ ὑμῶν Ιωβ δὲ ὁ θεράπων μου εὔξεται περὶ ὑμῶν ὅτι εἰ μὴ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ λήμψομαι εἰ μὴ γὰρ δῑ αὐτόν ἀπώλεσα ἂν ὑμᾶς οὐ γὰρ ἐλαλήσατε ἀληθὲς κατὰ τοῦ θεράποντός μου Ιωβ

Take ye, therefore, 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 to him alone will I have regard; that I deal not with you according to your folly. For ye have not spoken concerning me that which is right, as hath my servant Job.”

9 ἐπορεύθη δὲ Ελιφας ὁ Θαιμανίτης καὶ Βαλδαδ ὁ Σαυχίτης καὶ Σωφαρ ὁ Μιναῖος καὶ ἐποίησαν καθὼς συνέταξεν αὐτοῖς ὁ κύριος καὶ ἔλυσεν τὴν ἁμαρτίαν αὐτοῖς διὰ Ιωβ

So Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as Jehovah commanded them; and Jehovah had regard to Job.

10 ὁ δὲ κύριος ηὔξησεν τὸν Ιωβ εὐξαμένου δὲ αὐτοῦ καὶ περὶ τῶν φίλων αὐτοῦ ἀφῆκεν αὐτοῖς τὴν ἁμαρτίαν ἔδωκεν δὲ ὁ κύριος διπλᾶ ὅσα ἦν ἔμπροσθεν Ιωβ εἰς διπλασιασμόν

And Jehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends, and Jehovah gave him twice as much as he had before.

11 ἤκουσαν δὲ πάντες οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ αἱ ἀδελφαὶ αὐτοῦ πάντα τὰ συμβεβηκότα αὐτῷ καὶ ἦλθον πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ πάντες ὅσοι ᾔδεισαν αὐτὸν ἐκ πρώτου φαγόντες δὲ καὶ πιόντες παρ’ αὐτῷ παρεκάλεσαν αὐτόν καὶ ἐθαύμασαν ἐπὶ πᾶσιν οἷς ἐπήγαγεν αὐτῷ ὁ κύριος ἔδωκεν δὲ αὐτῷ ἕκαστος ἀμνάδα μίαν καὶ τετράδραχμον χρυσοῦν ἄσημον

Then came to him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and ate bread with him in his house; and condoled with him, and comforted him over all the evil which Jehovah had brought upon him; and every one gave him a piece of money [[a kesita]], and every one a ring of gold.

12 ὁ δὲ κύριος εὐλόγησεν τὰ ἔσχατα Ιωβ ἢ τὰ ἔμπροσθεν ἦν δὲ τὰ κτήνη αὐτοῦ πρόβατα μύρια τετρακισχίλια κάμηλοι ἑξακισχίλιαι ζεύγη βοῶν χίλια ὄνοι θήλειαι νομάδες χίλιαι

Thus Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than the beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

13 γεννῶνται δὲ αὐτῷ υἱοὶ ἑπτὰ καὶ θυγατέρες τρεῖς

He had also seven sons, and three daughters.

14 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὴν μὲν πρώτην Ἡμέραν τὴν δὲ δευτέραν Κασίαν τὴν δὲ τρίτην Ἀμαλθείας κέρας

And he called the name of the first Jemima, of the second Kezia, and of the third Kerenhappuch.

15 καὶ οὐχ εὑρέθησαν κατὰ τὰς θυγατέρας Ιωβ βελτίους αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ ὑπ’ οὐρανόν ἔδωκεν δὲ αὐταῖς ὁ πατὴρ κληρονομίαν ἐν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς

And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brethren.

16 ἔζησεν δὲ Ιωβ μετὰ τὴν πληγὴν ἔτη ἑκατὸν ἑβδομήκοντα τὰ δὲ πάντα ἔζησεν ἔτη διακόσια τεσσαράκοντα ὀκτώ καὶ εἶδεν Ιωβ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ τετάρτην γενεάν

And Job lived after this a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.

17 καὶ ἐτελεύτησεν Ιωβ πρεσβύτερος καὶ πλήρης ἡμερῶν

Then Job died, being old and satisfied with days.
