Job 42

1 respondens autem Iob Domino dixit

Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,

2 scio quia omnia potes et nulla te latet cogitatio

I know that thou can do all things, and that no purpose of thine can be restrained.

3 quis est iste qui celat consilium absque scientia ideo insipienter locutus sum et quae ultra modum excederent scientiam meam

Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.

4 audi et ego loquar interrogabo et ostende mihi

Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak, I will ask of thee, and declare thou to me.

5 auditu auris audivi te nunc autem oculus meus videt te

I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees thee.

6 idcirco ipse me reprehendo et ago paenitentiam in favilla et cinere

Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.

7 postquam autem locutus est Dominus verba haec ad Iob dixit ad Eliphaz Themaniten iratus est furor meus in te et in duos amicos tuos quoniam non estis locuti coram me rectum sicut servus meus Iob

And it was so, that, after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends. For ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

8 sumite igitur vobis septem tauros et septem arietes et ite ad servum meum Iob et offerte holocaustum pro vobis Iob autem servus meus orabit pro vobis faciem eius suscipiam ut non vobis inputetur stultitia neque enim locuti estis ad me recta sicut servus meus Iob

Now therefore, take to you seven bullocks 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 him I will accept, that I not deal with you after your folly. For ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

9 abierunt ergo Eliphaz Themanites et Baldad Suites et Sophar Naamathites et fecerunt sicut locutus fuerat ad eos Dominus et suscepit Dominus faciem Iob

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did according as Jehovah commanded them, and Jehovah accepted Job.

10 Dominus quoque conversus est ad paenitentiam Iob cum oraret ille pro amicis suis et addidit Dominus omnia quaecumque fuerant Iob duplicia

And Jehovah turned back the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends. And Jehovah gave Job twice as 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 there came to him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him. Each man also gave him a piece of money, and each one a ring of gold.

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

So Jehovah 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-donkeys.

13 et fuerunt ei septem filii et filiae tres

He had also seven sons and three daughters.

14 et vocavit nomen unius Diem et nomen secundae Cassia et nomen tertiae Cornu stibii

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 non sunt autem inventae mulieres speciosae sicut filiae Iob in universa terra deditque eis pater suus hereditatem inter fratres earum

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

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

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

17 et mortuus est senex et plenus dierum

So Job died, being old and full of days.
