Job 42

1 Entonces Job respondió a Yavé:

Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,

2 Reconozco que todo lo puedes, y que ningún propósito tuyo te puede ser estorbado.

I know that thou can do all things, and that no purpose of thine can be restrained.

3 ¿Quién es el que oscurece el consejo sin entendimiento? ¡Yo! Porque hablaba lo que no entendía, cosas demasiado maravillosas para mí que no entendía.

Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.

4 Escúchame, te ruego, y hablaré. Te preguntaré, y Tú me enseñarás:

Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak, I will ask of thee, and declare thou to me.

5 De oídas te oí, pero ahora cuando mis ojos te miran,

I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees thee.

6 me aborrezco, me arrepiento y me echo en polvo y ceniza.

Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.

7 Después que Yavé habló estas Palabras a Job, aconteció que Yavé dijo a Elifaz temanita: Mi ira se encendió contra ti y contra tus dos amigos, porque no hablaron lo recto de Mí, como mi esclavo Job.

And it was so, that, after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends. For ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

8 Tomen, pues, siete becerros y siete carneros, y vayan a mi esclavo Job y ofrezcan holocausto por ustedes. Mi esclavo Job intercederá por ustedes, porque Yo levantaré su rostro, para no hacer con ustedes conforme a su insensatez, pues no hablaron de Mí lo recto, como mi esclavo Job.

Now therefore, take to you seven bullocks 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 him I will accept, that I not deal with you after your folly. For ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

9 Elifaz temanita, Bildad sujita y Sofar naamatita fueron e hicieron como Yavé les ordenó. Y Yavé levantó el rostro de Job.

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did according as Jehovah commanded them, and Jehovah accepted Job.

10 Al orar por sus amigos, Yavé restauró a Job de su cautividad y aumentó al doble todo lo que poseyó.

And Jehovah turned back the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends. And Jehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before.

11 Llegaron a él todos sus hermanos y hermanas, y todos sus antiguos conocidos. Comieron con él en su casa, y se condolieron de él. Lo consolaron por toda la desgracia que Yavé trajo sobre él. Y cada uno le dio una pieza de plata y un anillo de oro.

Then there came to him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him. Each man also gave him a piece of money, and each one a ring of gold.

12 Yavé bendijo los últimos días de Job más que los primeros, porque tuvo 14.000 ovejas, 6.000 camellos, 1.000 yuntas de bueyes, 1.000 asnas,

So Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-donkeys.

13 y siete hijos y tres hijas.

He had also seven sons and three daughters.

14 A la primera llamó Jemima, a la segunda Casia y a la tercera, Keren-hapuc.

And he called the name of the first, Jemimah, and the name of the second, Keziah, and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.

15 En toda la tierra no había mujeres tan hermosas como las hijas de Job, y su padre les dio herencia entre sus hermanos.

And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job. And their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.

16 Después de estas cosas, Job vivió 140 años, y vio a sus hijos y a sus nietos hasta la cuarta generación.

And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.

17 Murió anciano y lleno de días.

So Job died, being old and full of days.
