Књига о Јову 42
1 Тада Јов одговори Господу и рече:
Then Job replied to Yahweh. [He said],
2 Знам да све можеш, и да се не може смести шта наумиш.
“I know that you can do everything and that no one can stop you from doing what you want to do.
3 Ко је то што замрачује савет неразумно? Зато кажем да нисам разумевао; чудесно је то за ме, те не могу знати.
[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 Слушај кад узговорим, и кад запитам, кажи ми.
You said to me, ‘Listen while I talk to you. I want to ask you some questions, so prepare yourself to answer them.’
5 Ушима слушах о Теби, а сада Те око моје види.
I had heard about you previously, but now [it is as though] I have seen you with my own eyes.
6 Зато поричем, и кајем се у праху и пепелу.
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 А кад Господ изговори оне речи Јову, рече Господ Елифасу Теманцу: Распалио се гнев мој на тебе и на два пријатеља твоја што не говористе о мени право као слуга мој Јов.
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 Зато сада узмите седам телаца и седам овнова, и идите к слузи мом Јову и принесите жртве паљенице за се, и слуга мој Јов нека се помоли за вас, јер ћу доиста погледати на њ да не учиним с вама по вашој лудости, јер не говористе о мени право као слуга мој Јов.
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 И тако отиде Елифас Теманац и Вилдад Сушанин и Софар Намаћанин, и учинише како им заповеди Господ. И погледа Господ на Јова.
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 И Господ врати што беше узето Јову пошто се помоли за пријатеље своје; и умножи Господ Јову двојином све што беше имао.
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 И дођоше к њему сва браћа његова и све сестре његове и сви пређашњи знанци његови, и једоше с њим у његовој кући и жалећи га тешише га за све зло што беше Господ пустио на њ, и дадоше му сваки по новац и по гривну златну.
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 И Господ благослови последак Јовов више него почетак, те имаше четрнаест хиљада оваца и шест хиљада камила и хиљаду јармова волова и хиљаду магарица.
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 И имаше седам синова и три кћери.
And he also had seven [more] sons and three [more] daughters.
14 И првој наде име Јемима, а другој Кесија а трећој Керен-апуха.
He named the first daughter Jemimah, he named the second daughter Keziah, and he named the third daughter Keren-Happuch.
15 И не нахођаше се у свој земљи тако лепих девојака као кћери Јовове, и отац им даде наследство међу браћом њиховом.
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 И после поживе Јов сто и четрдесет година, и виде синове и унуке до четвртог колена.
After that, Job lived 140 more years. Before he died, he (saw/enjoyed being with) his great-great-grandchildren.
17 И умре Јов стар и сит живота.
He was very old [DOU] when he died.
