Job 42

1 Entonces Job respondió a Yavé:

And Job answered Jehovah and said,

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

I know that thou canst do everything, and that thou canst be hindered in no thought of thine.

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 he that obscureth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered what I did not understand; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

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

Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and inform 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 mine eye seeth thee:

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

Wherefore 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 came to pass after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, that Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, Mine anger is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken rightly of me, like my servant Job.

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 for yourselves 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 will I accept: lest I deal with you [after your] folly, for ye have not spoken of me rightly, like my servant Job.

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

Then Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did according as Jehovah had said unto 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 the captivity of Job, when he had 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.

And all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house, and they condoled with him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him; and every one gave him a piece of money, and every one a golden 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 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-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 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 brethren.

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

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

17 Murió anciano y lleno de días.

And Job died, old and full of days.
