Jó 42
1 Então respondeu Job ao Senhor, e disse:
Then Job, responding to the Lord, said:
2 Bem sei eu que tudo podes, e nenhum dos teus pensamentos pode ser impedido.
I know that you are able to do all things, and that no thoughts are hidden from you.
3 Quem é aquele, dizes tu, que sem conhecimento encobre o conselho? por isso relatei o que não entendia; coisas que para mim eram maravilhosíssimas, e eu as não entendia.
So, who is it that would disguise a lack of knowledge as counsel? Therefore, I have been speaking foolishly, about things whose measure exceeds my knowledge.
4 Escuta-me pois, e eu falarei: eu te perguntarei, e tu me ensinas.
Listen, and I will speak. I will question you, and you may answer me.
5 Com o ouvido das orelhas te ouvi, mas agora te vê o meu olho.
By paying attention with the ear, I have heard you, but now my eye sees you.
6 Por isso me abomino e me arrependo no pó e na cinza.
Therefore, I find myself reprehensible, and I will do penance in embers and ashes.
7 Sucedeu pois que, acabando o Senhor de falar a Job aquelas palavras, o Senhor disse a Eliphaz, o temanita: A minha ira se acendeu contra ti, e contra os teus dois amigos; porque não falaste de mim o que era reto, como o meu servo Job.
But after the Lord had finished speaking these words to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Themanite: My wrath has been kindled against you, and against your two friends, because you have not been speaking correctly in my eyes, as my servant Job has done.
8 Tomai pois sete bezerros e sete carneiros, e ide ao meu servo Job, e oferecei holocaustos por vós, e o meu servo Job orará por vós: porque deveras a ele aceitarei, para que vos não trate conforme a vossa loucura; porque vós não falastes de mim o que era reto como o meu servo Job.
Therefore, have seven bulls and seven rams brought to you, and go to my servant Job, and offer these as a holocaust for yourselves. But also, my servant Job will pray for you; I will accept his face, so that foolishness will not be imputed to you. For you have not been speaking correctly about me, as my servant Job has done.
9 Então foram Eliphaz, o temanita, e Bildad, o suhita, e Sofar, o naamathita, e fizeram como o Senhor lhes dissera: e o Senhor aceitou a face de Job.
So Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Zophar the Naamathite departed, and they did just as the Lord had spoken to them, and the Lord accepted the face of Job.
10 E o Senhor virou o cativeiro de Job, quando orava pelos seus amigos: e o Senhor acrescentou a Job outro tanto em dobro, a tudo quanto de antes possuia.
Likewise, the Lord was moved by the repentance of Job, when he prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave to Job twice as much as he had before.
11 Então vieram a ele todos os seus irmãos, e todas as suas irmãs, e todos quantos de antes o conheceram, e comeram com ele pão em sua casa, e se condoeram dele, e o consolaram acerca de todo o mal que o Senhor lhe havia enviado: e cada um deles lhe deu uma peça de dinheiro, e cada um um pendente de ouro.
Yet all his brethren came to him, and all his sisters, and everyone who had known him before, and they ate bread with him in his house. They also shook their heads over him and comforted him, because of all the bad things that God had inflicted on him. And each one of them gave him one female sheep, and one earring of gold.
12 E assim abençoou o Senhor ao último estado de Job, mais do que o primeiro: porque teve quatorze mil ovelhas, e seis mil camelos, e mil juntas de bois, e mil jumentas.
And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job even more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand pairs of oxen, and a thousand she-donkeys.
13 Também teve sete filhos e três filhas.
And he had seven sons and three daughters.
14 E chamou o nome da primeira Jemima, e o nome da outra cássia, e o nome da terceira Keren-happuch.
And he called the name of one, Daylight, and the name of the second, Cinnamon, and the name of the third, Horn of Cosmetics.
15 E em toda a terra não se acharam mulheres tão formosas como as filhas de Job; e seu pai lhes deu herança entre seus irmãos.
And, in the whole world, there were not found women so beautiful as the daughters of Job. And so their father gave them an inheritance along with their brothers.
16 E depois disto viveu Job cento e quarenta anos: e viu a seus filhos, e aos filhos de seus filhos, até à quarta geração.
But Job lived long after these events, for a hundred and forty years, and he saw his children, and his children’s children, all the way to the fourth generation,
17 Então morreu Job, velho e farto de dias.
and he died an old man and full of days.
