Jov 42
1 Tada Jov odgovori Gospodu i reèe:
Then Job answered Yahweh:
2 Znam da sve možeš, i da se ne može smesti što naumiš.
“I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.
3 Ko je to što zamraèuje savjet nerazumno? Zato kažem da nijesam razumijevao; èudesno je to za me, te ne mogu znati.
You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ therefore I have uttered that which I didn’t understand, things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know.
4 Slušaj kad uzgovorim, i kad zapitam, kaži mi.
You said, ‘Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.’
5 Ušima slušah o tebi, a sada te oko moje vidi.
I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.
6 Zato porièem, i kajem se u prahu i pepelu.
Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”
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.
It was so, that after Yahweh had spoken these words to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
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.
Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls 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 I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.”
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 the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what Yahweh commanded them, and Yahweh accepted Job.
10 I Gospod povrati što bješe uzeto Jovu pošto se pomoli za prijatelje svoje; i umnoži Gospod Jovu dvojinom sve što bješe imao.
Yahweh restored Job’s prosperity when he prayed for his friends. Yahweh gave Job twice as much 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, all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, came to him and ate bread with him in his house. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that Yahweh had brought on him. Everyone also gave him a piece of money, and everyone a ring of gold.
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.
So Yahweh blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.
13 I imaše sedam sinova i tri kæeri.
He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14 I prvoj nadje ime Jemima, a drugoj Kesija a treæoj Keren-apuha.
He called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, 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 the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job. Their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
16 I poslije poživje Jov sto i èetrdeset godina, i vidje sinove i unuke do èetvrtoga koljena.
After this Job lived one hundred forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, to four generations.
17 I umrije Jov star i sit života.
So Job died, being old and full of days.
