Job 42

1 respondens autem Iob Domino dixit

And Job said in answer to the Lord,

2 scio quia omnia potes et nulla te latet cogitatio

I see that you are able to do every thing, and to give effect to all your designs.

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

Who is this who makes dark the purpose of God by words without knowledge? For I have been talking without knowledge about wonders not to be searched out.

4 audi et ego loquar interrogabo et ostende mihi

Give ear to me, and I will say what is in my mind; I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers.

5 auditu auris audivi te nunc autem oculus meus videt te

Word of you had come to my ears, but now my eye has seen you.

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

For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.

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 came about, after he had said these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, I am very angry with you and your two friends, because you have not said what is right about me, 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

And now, take seven oxen and seven sheep, and go to my servant Job, and give a burned offering for yourselves, and my servant Job will make prayer for you, that I may not send punishment on you; because you have not said what is right about me, 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

And Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as the Lord had said. And the Lord gave ear to Job.

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

And the Lord made up to Job for all his losses, after he had made prayer for his friends: and all Job had before was increased by the Lord twice as much.

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

And all his brothers and sisters, and his friends of earlier days, came and took food with him in his house; and made clear their grief for him, and gave him comfort for all the evil which the Lord had sent on him; and they all gave him a bit of money and a gold ring.

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

And the Lord's blessing was greater on the end of Job's life than on its start: and so he came to have fourteen thousand sheep and goats, and six thousand camels, and two thousand oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

13 et fuerunt ei septem filii et filiae tres

And he had seven sons and three daughters.

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

And he gave the first the name of Jemimah, the second Keziah, and 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 there were no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job in all the earth: and their father gave them a heritage 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 had a hundred and forty years of life, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.

17 et mortuus est senex et plenus dierum

And Job came to his end, old and full of days.
