Jov 42
1 Tada Jov odgovori Gospodu i reèe:
Then Job replied to Yahweh. [He said],
2 Znam da sve možeš, i da se ne može smesti što naumiš.
“I know that you can do everything and that no one can stop you from doing what you want to do.
3 Ko je to što zamraèuje savjet nerazumno? Zato kažem da nijesam razumijevao; èudesno je to za me, te ne mogu znati.
[You asked me], ‘(Who are you, who by speaking ignorantly, question what I plan to do?/You have no right to question what I plan to do by speaking ignorantly.)’ [RHQ] It is true that I spoke about things that I did not understand, things that are very wonderful/marvelous, and therefore I am not able to know them.
4 Slušaj kad uzgovorim, i kad zapitam, kaži mi.
You said to me, ‘Listen while I talk to you. I want to ask you some questions, so prepare yourself to answer them.’
5 Ušima slušah o tebi, a sada te oko moje vidi.
I had heard about you previously, but now [it is as though] I have seen you with my own eyes.
6 Zato porièem, i kajem se u prahu i pepelu.
Therefore I (am ashamed of/withdraw) what I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show that I am sorry [for what I said].”
7 A kad Gospod izgovori one rijeèi Jovu, reèe Gospod Elifasu Temancu: raspalio se gnjev moj na tebe i na dva prijatelja tvoja što ne govoriste o meni pravo kao sluga moj Jov.
After Yahweh said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz, “I am angry with you and your two friends, [Bildad and Zophar], because what my servant Job said about me was right/true, but what you have spoken about me was not right/true.
8 Zato sada uzmite sedam telaca i sedam ovnova, i idite k sluzi mojemu Jovu i prinesite žrtve paljenice za se, i sluga moj Jov neka se pomoli za vas, jer æu doista pogledati na nj da ne uèinim s vama po vašoj ludosti, jer ne govoriste o meni pravo kao sluga moj Jov.
So now you must take to Job seven young bulls and seven rams and [kill them and] burn them on the altar as a sacrifice for yourselves. Then Job will pray for you, and I will do what he requests me to do, [and I will forgive you for speaking wrongly about me]. I will not punish you, even though you deserve to be punished, because what you said about me was not right/true, but what Job said about me was right/true.”
9 I tako otide Elifas Temanac i Vildad Sušanin i Sofar Namaæanin, i uèiniše kako im zapovjedi Gospod. I pogleda Gospod na Jova.
So Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar did what Yahweh commanded them to do, and Yahweh did what Job requested him to do [for the three of them].
10 I Gospod povrati što bješe uzeto Jovu pošto se pomoli za prijatelje svoje; i umnoži Gospod Jovu dvojinom sve što bješe imao.
After Job prayed for his three friends, Yahweh [healed him and] caused him to become rich again. Yahweh gave him twice as many things as he had before.
11 I doðoše k njemu sva braæa njegova i sve sestre njegove i svi preðašnji znanci njegovi, i jedoše s njim u njegovoj kuæi i žaleæi ga tješiše ga za sve zlo što bješe Gospod pustio na nj, i dadoše mu svaki po novac i po grivnu zlatnu.
Then all his brothers and sisters, and all the people who had known him before, came to his house, and they ate a meal together. They consoled/comforted [DOU] him because of all the troubles that Yahweh had allowed him to experience.
12 I Gospod blagoslovi pošljedak Jovov više nego poèetak, te imaše èetrnaest tisuæa ovaca i šest tisuæa kamila i tisuæu jarmova volova i tisuæu magarica.
Then Yahweh blessed Job in the second half of his life more than he had blessed him in the first half of his life. He now acquired/owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 2,000 oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
13 I imaše sedam sinova i tri kæeri.
And he also had seven [more] sons and three [more] daughters.
14 I prvoj nadje ime Jemima, a drugoj Kesija a treæoj Keren-apuha.
He named the first daughter Jemimah, he named the second daughter Keziah, and he named the third daughter Keren-Happuch.
15 I ne nahoðaše se u svoj zemlji tako lijepijeh djevojaka kao kæeri Jovove, i otac im dade našljedstvo meðu braæom njihovom.
In all of [Uz] land there were no young women who were as beautiful as the daughters of Job, and Job declared that they would inherit some of his possessions, just like their brothers would inherit some.
16 I poslije poživje Jov sto i èetrdeset godina, i vidje sinove i unuke do èetvrtoga koljena.
After that, Job lived 140 more years. Before he died, he (saw/enjoyed being with) his great-great-grandchildren.
17 I umrije Jov star i sit života.
He was very old [DOU] when he died.
