Job 42

1 Entonces Job respondió a Yavé:

Then answered Job unto the Lord, and said,

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

I acknowledge that thou art able to do every thing, and that no deep plan 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 he that dareth to conceal [thy] counsel without knowledge? Truly I have spoken of what I understood not, of things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

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

Oh do but hear [me], and I will indeed speak: I will ask of thee, and do thou inform me.

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

I had only heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye hath seen thee.

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

Therefore I reject [what I have said], and repent; because I am 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 the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Themanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; because ye have not spoken of me properly, 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 unto yourselves seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up a burnt-offering in your behalf; and my servant Job shall pray for you; for him alone will I receive favorably, so as not to deal with you after your folly; because ye have not spoken of me properly, 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 went Eliphaz the Themanite and Bildad the Shuchite and Zophar the Na'amathite, and did in accordance with what the Lord had spoken to them: and the Lord received Job in favor.

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

And the Lord brought back the captivity of Job, when he prayed in behalf of his friends; and the Lord increased all that Job had had twofold.

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 then came unto him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all that had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house; and they condoled with him, and comforted him for all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him; and they gave him, every one, a kessitah, and every one an earring 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,

And the Lord 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.

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 there were not found such handsome women as the daughters of Job in all the land; and their father gave them an 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 Job lived after this one hundred and forty years: and he saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.

17 Murió anciano y lleno de días.

Then died Job, being old and full of days.
