Job 42

1 Entonces Job respondió a Yavé:

And Job said in answer to the Lord,

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

I see that you are able to do every thing, and to give effect to all your designs.

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 makes dark the purpose of God by words without knowledge? For I have been talking without knowledge about wonders not to be searched out.

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

Give ear to me, and I will say what is in my mind; I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers.

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

Word of you had come to my ears, but now my eye has seen you.

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

For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.

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 came about, after he had said these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, I am very angry with you and your two friends, because you have not said what is right about me, 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.

And now, take seven oxen and seven sheep, and go to my servant Job, and give a burned offering for yourselves, and my servant Job will make prayer for you, that I may not send punishment on you; because you have not said what is right about me, 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.

And Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as the Lord had said. And the Lord gave ear to Job.

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

And the Lord made up to Job for all his losses, after he had made prayer for his friends: and all Job had before was increased by the Lord twice as much.

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.

And all his brothers and sisters, and his friends of earlier days, came and took food with him in his house; and made clear their grief for him, and gave him comfort for all the evil which the Lord had sent on him; and they all gave him a bit of money and a gold ring.

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,

And the Lord's blessing was greater on the end of Job's life than on its start: and so he came to have fourteen thousand sheep and goats, and six thousand camels, and two thousand oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

13 y siete hijos y tres hijas.

And he had seven sons and three daughters.

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

And he gave the first the name of Jemimah, the second Keziah, and 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 there were no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job in all the earth: and their father gave them a heritage 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 had a hundred and forty years of life, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.

17 Murió anciano y lleno de días.

And Job came to his end, old and full of days.
