Job 42

1 Respondens autem Iob Domino, dixit:

And Job answereth Jehovah and saith: —

2 Scio quia omnia potes, et nulla te latet cogitatio.

Thou hast known that [for] all things Thou art able, And not withheld from Thee is [any] device:

3 Quis est iste, qui celat consilium absque scientia? ideo insipienter locutus sum, et quæ ultra modum excederent scientiam meam.

'Who [is] this, hiding counsel without knowledge?' Therefore, I have declared, and understand not, Too wonderful for me, and I know not.

4 Audi, et ego loquar: interrogabo te, et responde mihi.

'Hear, I pray thee, and I — I do speak, I ask thee, and cause thou me to know.'

5 Auditu auris audivi te, nunc autem oculus meus videt te.

By the hearing of the ear I heard Thee, And now mine eye hath seen Thee.

6 Idcirco ipse me reprehendo, et ago pœnitentiam in favilla et cinere.

Therefore do I loathe [it], And I have repented on 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.

And it cometh to pass after Jehovah's speaking these words unto Job, that Jehovah saith unto Eliphaz the Temanite, 'Burned hath Mine anger against thee, and against thy two friends, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.

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.

And now, take to you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go ye unto My servant Job, and ye have caused a burnt-offering to ascend for you; and Job My servant doth pray for you, for surely his face I accept, so as not to do with you folly, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.

9 Abierunt ergo Eliphaz Themanites, et Baldad Suhites, et Sophar Naamathites, et fecerunt sicut locutus fuerat Dominus ad eos, et suscepit Dominus faciem Iob.

And they go — Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, Zophar the Naamathite — and do as Jehovah hath spoken unto them; and Jehovah doth accept the face of Job.

10 Dominus quoque conversus est ad pœnitentiam Iob, cum oraret ille pro amicis suis. Et addidit Dominus omnia quæcumque fuerant Iob, duplicia.

And Jehovah hath turned [to] the captivity of Job in his praying for his friends, and Jehovah doth add [to] all that Job hath — to double.

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.

And come unto him do all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and they eat bread with him in his house, and bemoan him, and comfort him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him, and they gave to him each one kesitah, and each one 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.

And Jehovah hath blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning, and he hath fourteen thousand of a flock, and six thousand camels, and a thousand pairs of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

13 Et fuerunt ei septem filii, et tres filiæ.

And he hath seven sons and three daughters;

14 Et vocavit nomen unius Diem, et nomen secundæ Cassiam, et nomen tertiæ Cornustibii.

and he calleth the name of the one Jemima, and the name of the second Kezia, 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.

And there have not been found women fair as the daughters of Job in all the land, and their father doth give to them an inheritance in the midst of their brethren.

16 Vixit autem Iob post hæc, centum quadraginta annis, et vidit filios suos, et filios filiorum suorum usque ad quartam generationem,

And Job liveth after this a hundred and forty years, and seeth his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations;

17 et mortuus est senex, et plenus dierum.

and Job dieth, aged and satisfied [with] days.
