Job 42
1 Y respondió Job en respuesta al Señor:
Then Job replied to Yahweh. [He said],
2 Veo que eres capaz de hacer todo, y 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 este que oculta el consejo de Dios con palabras sin conocimiento? Porque he estado hablando sin saber acerca de las maravillas que yo no 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 Escúchame, y diré lo que tengo en mente; Te haré preguntas y tú me darás las respuestas.
You said to me, ‘Listen while I talk to you. I want to ask you some questions, so prepare yourself to answer them.’
5 Te conocía sólo de oídas, pero ahora mi ojo te ha visto.
I had heard about you previously, but now [it is as though] I have seen you with my own eyes.
6 Por esta razón, doy testimonio de que lo que dije es falso, y con dolor me siento en el polvo.
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 después de haberle dicho estas palabras a Job, el Señor le dijo a Elifaz el Temanita: Estoy muy enojado contigo y con tus dos amigos, porque no has dicho lo que es correcto acerca de mí, como lo dijo 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 Y ahora, toma siete bueyes y siete ovejas, y ve a mi siervo Job, y haz una ofrenda quemada por ti mismo, y mi siervo Job hará oración por ti, para que no pueda enviarte castigo; porque no han dicho lo que es correcto acerca de mí, como lo ha hecho mi sirviente 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 Y Elifaz el Temanita, y Bildad el Suhita, y Zofar el Naamatita, fueron e hicieron lo que el Señor había dicho. Y el SEÑOR dio oído 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 el Señor recompensó a Job por todas sus pérdidas, después de haber orado por sus amigos: y todo lo que Job tenía antes fue aumentado por el Señor el doble.
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 todos sus hermanos y hermanas, y sus antiguos amigos, vinieron y comieron con él en su casa; y aclararon su dolor por él, y le dieron consuelo por todo el mal que el Señor le había enviado; y todos le dieron un poco de dinero y un anillo 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 la bendición del Señor fue mayor en el final de la vida de Job que en su inicio; y así llegó a tener catorce mil ovejas y cabras, seis mil camellos, dos mil 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 catorce hijos y tres hijas.
And he also had seven [more] sons and three [more] daughters.
14 Y le dio a la primera el nombre de Jemima, la segunda Cesia y la tercero Kerenhapuc;
He named the first daughter Jemimah, he named the second daughter Keziah, and he named the third daughter Keren-Happuch.
15 Y no había mujeres tan hermosas como las hijas de Job en toda la tierra: y su padre les dio una 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, Job tuvo ciento cuarenta años de vida, y vio a sus hijos, y los hijos de sus hijos, incluso cuatro generaciones.
After that, Job lived 140 more years. Before he died, he (saw/enjoyed being with) his great-great-grandchildren.
17 Y Job llegó a su fin, viejo y lleno de días.
He was very old [DOU] when he died.
