Job 42

1 Respondens autem Iob Domino, dixit:

Then Iob answered the Lord, and sayd,

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

I knowe that thou canst doe all things, and that there is no thought hidde from thee.

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

Who is hee that hideth counsell without knowledge? therefore haue I spoken that I vnderstood not, euen things too wonderfull for me, and which I knew not.

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

Heare, I beseech thee, and I will speake: I will demaunde of thee, and declare thou vnto me.

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

I haue heard of thee by the hearing of the eare, but now mine eye seeth thee.

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

Therefore I abhorre my selfe, and repent in dust and ashes.

7 Postquam autem locutus est Dominus verba haec 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.

Now after that the Lord had spoken these wordes vnto Iob, ye Lord also said vnto Eliphaz ye Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for yee haue not spoken of me the thing that is right, like my seruant Iob.

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.

Therefore take vnto you nowe seuen bullockes, and seuen rammes, and go to my seruant Iob, and offer vp for your selues a burnt offring, and my seruant Iob shall pray for you: for I wil accept him, least I should put you to shame, because ye haue not spoken of me the thing, which is right, like my seruant Iob.

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 according as the Lord had saide vnto them, and the Lord accepted Iob.

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

Then the Lord turned the captiuitie of Iob, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gaue Iob twise so much as he had before.

11 Venerunt autem ad eum omnes fratres sui, et universae sorores suae, 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 came vnto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had bene of his acquaintance before, and did eate bread with him in his house, and had compassion of him, and comforted him for al the euil, that the Lord had brought vpon him, and euery man gaue him a piece of money, and euery one an earing of golde.

12 Dominus autem benedixit novissimis Iob magis quam principio eius. Et facta sunt ei quattuordecim millia ovium, et sex millia camelorum, et mille iuga boum, et mille asinae.

So the Lord blessed the last dayes of Iob more then the first: for he had foureteene thousand sheepe, and sixe thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand shee asses.

13 Et fuerunt ei septem filii, et tres filiae.

He had also seue sonnes, and three daughters.

14 Et vocavit nomen unius Diem, et nomen secundae Cassiam, et nomen tertiae Cornustibii.

And he called the name of one Iemimah, and the name of the seconde Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch.

15 Non sunt autem inventae mulieres speciosae sicut filiae Iob in universa terra: deditque eis pater suus hereditatem inter fratres earum.

In all the lande were no women found so faire as the daughters of Iob, and their father gaue them inheritaunce among their brethren.

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

And after this liued Iob an hundreth and fourtie yeres, and sawe his sonnes, and his sonnes sonnes, euen foure generations.

17 et mortuus est senex, et plenus dierum.

So Iob dyed, being old, and full of dayes.
