Job 42

1 Entonces Job respondió a Yahvé:

Then Job answered and said to the Lord,

2 “Sé que todo lo puedes hacer, y que ningún propósito tuyo puede ser frenado.

I know that you can do all things, and nothing is impossible with you.

3 Preguntasteis: “¿Quién es ese que esconde el consejo sin conocimiento?”. por lo que he pronunciado lo que no entendía, cosas demasiado maravillosas para mí, que no conocía.

For who is he that hides counsel from you? or who keeps back his words, and thinks to hide them from you? and who will tell me what I knew not, great and wonderful things which I understood not?

4 Dijiste: “Escucha, ahora, y yo hablaré; Te interrogaré y tú me responderás’.

But hear me, O Lord, that I also may speak: and I will ask you, and do you teach me.

5 Había oído hablar de ti por el oído, pero ahora mi ojo te ve.

I have heard the report of you by the ear before; but now mine eye has seen you.

6 Por eso me aborrezco, y arrepentirse en polvo y ceniza”.

Therefore I have counted myself vile, and have fainted: and I esteem myself dust and ashes.

7 Fue así que, después de que Yahvé hubo pronunciado estas palabras a Job, Yahvé dijo a Elifaz el temanita: “Mi ira se ha encendido contra ti y contra tus dos amigos, porque no habéis hablado de mí lo que es justo, como lo ha hecho mi siervo Job.

And it came to pass after the Lord had spoken all these words to Job, [that] the Lord said to Eliphaz the Thaemanite, You have sinned, and your two friends: for you have not said anything true before me, as my servant Job [has].

8 Ahora, pues, tomad para vosotros siete toros y siete carneros, e id a mi siervo Job, y ofreced para vosotros un holocausto; y mi siervo Job rogará por vosotros, pues yo lo aceptaré, para que no os trate según vuestra insensatez. Porque no habéis hablado de mí lo que es justo, como mi siervo Job”.

Now then take seven bullocks, and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and he shall offer a burnt offering for you. And my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will only accept him: for but his sake, I would have destroyed you, for you have not spoken the truth against my servant Job.

9 Entonces Elifaz, el temanita, Bildad, el suhita, y Zofar, el naamatita, fueron e hicieron lo que Yahvé les ordenó, y Yahvé aceptó a Job.

So Eliphaz the Thaemanite, and Baldad the Sauchite, and Sophar the Minaean, went and did as the Lord commanded them: and he pardoned their sin for the sake of Job.

10 Yahvé restauró la prosperidad de Job cuando éste oró por sus amigos. El Señor le dio a Job el doble de lo que tenía antes.

And the Lord prospered Job: and when he prayed also for his friends, he forgave them [their] sin: and the Lord gave Job twice as much, even the double of what he had before.

11 Entonces todos sus hermanos, todas sus hermanas y todos los que antes lo conocían, vinieron a él y comieron con él en su casa. Lo consolaron, y lo consolaron por todo el mal que el Señor le había hecho pasar. Todos le dieron también una pieza de dinero, y todos un anillo de oro.

And all his brethren and his sisters heard all that had happened to him, and they came to him, and [so did] all that had known him from the first: and they ate and drank with him, and comforted him, and wondered at all that the Lord had brought upon him: and each one gave him a lamb, and four drachmas' weight of gold, even of unstamped [gold].

12 Así, el Señor bendijo el final de Job más que su principio. Tenía catorce mil ovejas, seis mil camellos, mil yuntas de bueyes y mil burras.

And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job, [more] than the beginning: and his cattle were fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, a thousand she-asses of the pastures.

13 Tenía también siete hijos y tres hijas.

And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.

14 A la primera la llamó Jemimah, a la segunda Keziah y a la tercera Keren Happuch.

And he called the first Day, and the second Casia, and the third Amalthaea's horn.

15 En toda la tierra no se encontraron mujeres tan hermosas como las hijas de Job. Su padre les dio una herencia entre sus hermanos.

And there were not found in comparison with the daughters of Job, fairer [women] than they in all the world: and their father gave them an inheritance among their brethren.

16 Después de esto, Job vivió ciento cuarenta años, y vio a sus hijos, y a los hijos de sus hijos, hasta cuatro generaciones.

And Job lived after [his] affliction a hundred and seventy years: and all the years he lived were two hundred and forty: and Job saw his sons and his sons' sons, the fourth generation.

17 Así murió Job, siendo viejo y lleno de días.

And Job died, an old man and full of days.
