Job 42
1 Y respondió Job al SEÑOR, y dijo:
Then Job replied to Yahweh. [He said],
2 Yo conozco que todo lo puedes, y que no hay pensamiento que se esconda de ti.
“I know that you can do everything and that no one can stop you from doing what you want to do.
3 ¿Quién es el que oscurece el consejo sin sabiduría? Por tanto yo denunciaba lo que no entendía; cosas que me eran ocultas, y que no las sabía.
[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 Oye ahora, y hablaré; te preguntaré, y tú me harás saber.
You said to me, ‘Listen while I talk to you. I want to ask you some questions, so prepare yourself to answer them.’
5 De oídas te había oído; mas ahora mis ojos te ven.
I had heard about you previously, but now [it is as though] I have seen you with my own eyes.
6 Por tanto me aborrezco, y me arrepiento en el polvo y en la 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 Y aconteció que después que habló el SEÑOR estas palabras a Job, el SEÑOR dijo a Elifaz temanita: Mi ira se encendió contra ti y tus dos compañeros, porque no habéis hablado por mí lo recto, como 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, tomaos siete becerros y siete carneros, y andad a mi siervo Job, y ofreced holocausto por vosotros, y mi siervo Job orará por vosotros; porque solamente por su respeto no os trataré afrentosamente, por cuanto no habéis hablado por mí con rectitud, 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 Fueron pues Elifaz temanita, y Bildad suhita, y Zofar naamatita, e hicieron como el SEÑOR les dijo; y el SEÑOR tuvo respeto 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 Y tornó el SEÑOR la aflicción de Job, orando él por sus amigos; y aumentó al doble todas las cosas que habían sido de Job.
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 Y vinieron a él todos sus hermanos, y todas sus hermanas, y todos los que antes le habían conocido, y comieron con él pan en su casa, y se condolieron de él, y le consolaron de todo aquel mal que el SEÑOR había traído sobre él. Y cada uno de ellos le dio una oveja, y una joya 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 Y el SEÑOR bendijo a la postrimería de Job más que a su principio; porque tuvo catorce mil ovejas, y seis mil camellos, y mil yuntas de bueyes, y mil asnas.
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 Y tuvo siete hijos y tres hijas.
And he also had seven [more] sons and three [more] daughters.
14 Y llamó el nombre de la una, Jemima, y el nombre de la segunda, Cesia, y el nombre de la tercera, Keren-hapuc.
He named the first daughter Jemimah, he named the second daughter Keziah, and he named the third daughter Keren-Happuch.
15 Y no se hallaron mujeres tan hermosas como las hijas de Job en toda la tierra; y les dio su padre 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 Y después de esto vivió Job ciento cuarenta años, y vio a sus hijos, y a los hijos de sus hijos, hasta la cuarta generación.
After that, Job lived 140 more years. Before he died, he (saw/enjoyed being with) his great-great-grandchildren.
17 Murió pues Job viejo, y lleno de días.
He was very old [DOU] when he died.
