Job 42

1 Entonces Job respondió a Yahvé:

Then Job replied to Yahweh. [He said],

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

“I know that you can do everything and that no one can stop you from doing what you want to do.

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.

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

You said to me, ‘Listen while I talk to you. I want to ask you some questions, so prepare yourself to answer them.’

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

I had heard about you previously, but now [it is as though] I have seen you with my own eyes.

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

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 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.

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 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”.

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 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, 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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 Tenía también siete hijos y tres hijas.

And he also had seven [more] sons and three [more] daughters.

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

He named the first daughter Jemimah, he named the second daughter Keziah, and he named the third daughter Keren-Happuch.

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.

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

After that, Job lived 140 more years. Before he died, he (saw/enjoyed being with) his great-great-grandchildren.

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

He was very old [DOU] when he died.
