ヨブ 記 42
1 そこでヨブは主に答えて言った、
Then answered Job unto the Lord, and said,
2 「わたしは知ります、あなたはすべての事をなすことができ、またいかなるおぼしめしでも、あなたにできないことはないことを。
I acknowledge that thou art able to do every thing, and that no deep plan of thine can be restrained.
3 『無知をもって神の計りごとをおおうこの者はだれか』。それゆえ、わたしはみずから悟らない事を言い、みずから知らない、測り難い事を述べました。
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 『聞け、わたしは語ろう、わたしはあなたに尋ねる、わたしに答えよ』。
Oh do but hear [me], and I will indeed speak: I will ask of thee, and do thou inform me.
5 わたしはあなたの事を耳で聞いていましたが、今はわたしの目であなたを拝見いたします。
I had only heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye hath seen thee.
6 それでわたしはみずから恨み、ちり灰の中で悔います」。
Therefore I reject [what I have said], and repent; because I am dust and ashes.
7 主はこれらの言葉をヨブに語られて後、テマンびとエリパズに言われた、「わたしの怒りはあなたとあなたのふたりの友に向かって燃える。あなたがたが、わたしのしもべヨブのように正しい事をわたしについて述べなかったからである。
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 それで今、あなたがたは雄牛七頭、雄羊七頭を取って、わたしのしもべヨブの所へ行き、あなたがたのために燔祭をささげよ。わたしのしもべヨブはあなたがたのために祈るであろう。わたしは彼の祈を受けいれるによって、あなたがたの愚かを罰することをしない。あなたがたはわたしのしもべヨブのように正しい事をわたしについて述べなかったからである」。
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 そこでテマンびとエリパズ、シュヒびとビルダデ、ナアマびとゾパルは行って、主が彼らに命じられたようにしたので、主はヨブの祈を受けいれられた。
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 ヨブがその友人たちのために祈ったとき、主はヨブの繁栄をもとにかえし、そして主はヨブのすべての財産を二倍に増された。
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 そこで彼のすべての兄弟、すべての姉妹、および彼の旧知の者どもことごとく彼のもとに来て、彼と共にその家で飲み食いし、かつ主が彼にくだされたすべての災について彼をいたわり、慰め、おのおの銀一ケシタと金の輪一つを彼に贈った。
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 主はヨブの終りを初めよりも多く恵まれた。彼は羊一万四千頭、らくだ六千頭、牛一千くびき、雌ろば一千頭をもった。
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 また彼は男の子七人、女の子三人をもった。
He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14 彼はその第一の娘をエミマと名づけ、第二をケジアと名づけ、第三をケレン・ハップクと名づけた。
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 全国のうちでヨブの娘たちほど美しい女はなかった。父はその兄弟たちと同様に嗣業を彼らにも与えた。
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 この後、ヨブは百四十年生きながらえて、その子とその孫と四代までを見た。
And Job lived after this one hundred and forty years: and he saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
17 ヨブは年老い、日満ちて死んだ。
Then died Job, being old and full of days.
