Job 42
1 Respondens autem Iob Domino, dixit:
Then Job answered Yahweh:
2 Scio quia omnia potes, et nulla te latet cogitatio.
“I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.
3 Quis est iste, qui celat consilium absque scientia? ideo insipienter locutus sum, et quæ ultra modum excederent scientiam meam.
You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ therefore I have uttered that which I didn’t understand, things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know.
4 Audi, et ego loquar: interrogabo te, et responde mihi.
You said, ‘Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.’
5 Auditu auris audivi te, nunc autem oculus meus videt te.
I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.
6 Idcirco ipse me reprehendo, et ago pœnitentiam in favilla et cinere.
Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”
7 Postquam autem locutus est Dominus verba hæc 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.
It was so, that after Yahweh had spoken these words to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
8 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.
Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.”
9 Abierunt ergo Eliphaz Themanites, et Baldad Suhites, et Sophar Naamathites, et fecerunt sicut locutus fuerat Dominus ad eos, et suscepit Dominus faciem Iob.
So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what Yahweh commanded them, and Yahweh accepted Job.
10 Dominus quoque conversus est ad pœnitentiam Iob, cum oraret ille pro amicis suis. Et addidit Dominus omnia quæcumque fuerant Iob, duplicia.
Yahweh restored Job’s prosperity when he prayed for his friends. Yahweh gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11 Venerunt autem ad eum omnes fratres sui, et universæ sorores suæ, 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.
Then all his brothers, all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, came to him and ate bread with him in his house. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that Yahweh had brought on him. Everyone also gave him a piece of money, and everyone a ring of gold.
12 Dominus autem benedixit novissimis Iob magis quam principio eius. Et facta sunt ei quatuordecim millia ovium, et sex millia camelorum, et mille iuga boum, et mille asinæ.
So Yahweh blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.
13 Et fuerunt ei septem filii, et tres filiæ.
He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14 Et vocavit nomen unius Diem, et nomen secundæ Cassiam, et nomen tertiæ Cornustibii.
He called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren Happuch.
15 Non sunt autem inventæ mulieres speciosæ sicut filiæ Iob in universa terra: deditque eis pater suus hereditatem inter fratres earum.
In all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job. Their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
16 Vixit autem Iob post hæc, centum quadraginta annis, et vidit filios suos, et filios filiorum suorum usque ad quartam generationem,
After this Job lived one hundred forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, to four generations.
17 et mortuus est senex, et plenus dierum.
So Job died, being old and full of days.
