Job 42

1 Then Job answered and said to the Lord,

Então respondeu Job ao Senhor, e disse:

2 I know that you can do all things, and nothing is impossible with you.

Bem sei eu que tudo podes, e nenhum dos teus pensamentos pode ser impedido.

3 For who is he that hides counsel from you? or who keeps back his words, and thinks to hide them from you? and who will tell me what I knew not, great and wonderful things which I understood not?

Quem é aquele, dizes tu, que sem conhecimento encobre o conselho? por isso relatei o que não entendia; coisas que para mim eram maravilhosíssimas, e eu as não entendia.

4 But hear me, O Lord, that I also may speak: and I will ask you, and do you teach me.

Escuta-me pois, e eu falarei: eu te perguntarei, e tu me ensinas.

5 I have heard the report of you by the ear before; but now mine eye has seen you.

Com o ouvido das orelhas te ouvi, mas agora te vê o meu olho.

6 Therefore I have counted myself vile, and have fainted: and I esteem myself dust and ashes.

Por isso me abomino e me arrependo no pó e na cinza.

7 And it came to pass after the Lord had spoken all these words to Job, [that] the Lord said to Eliphaz the Thaemanite, You have sinned, and your two friends: for you have not said anything true before me, as my servant Job [has].

Sucedeu pois que, acabando o Senhor de falar a Job aquelas palavras, o Senhor disse a Eliphaz, o temanita: A minha ira se acendeu contra ti, e contra os teus dois amigos; porque não falaste de mim o que era reto, como o meu servo Job.

8 Now then take seven bullocks, and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and he shall offer a burnt offering for you. And my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will only accept him: for but his sake, I would have destroyed you, for you have not spoken the truth against my servant Job.

Tomai pois sete bezerros e sete carneiros, e ide ao meu servo Job, e oferecei holocaustos por vós, e o meu servo Job orará por vós: porque deveras a ele aceitarei, para que vos não trate conforme a vossa loucura; porque vós não falastes de mim o que era reto como o meu servo Job.

9 So Eliphaz the Thaemanite, and Baldad the Sauchite, and Sophar the Minaean, went and did as the Lord commanded them: and he pardoned their sin for the sake of Job.

Então foram Eliphaz, o temanita, e Bildad, o suhita, e Sofar, o naamathita, e fizeram como o Senhor lhes dissera: e o Senhor aceitou a face de Job.

10 And the Lord prospered Job: and when he prayed also for his friends, he forgave them [their] sin: and the Lord gave Job twice as much, even the double of what he had before.

E o Senhor virou o cativeiro de Job, quando orava pelos seus amigos: e o Senhor acrescentou a Job outro tanto em dobro, a tudo quanto de antes possuia.

11 And all his brethren and his sisters heard all that had happened to him, and they came to him, and [so did] all that had known him from the first: and they ate and drank with him, and comforted him, and wondered at all that the Lord had brought upon him: and each one gave him a lamb, and four drachmas' weight of gold, even of unstamped [gold].

Então vieram a ele todos os seus irmãos, e todas as suas irmãs, e todos quantos de antes o conheceram, e comeram com ele pão em sua casa, e se condoeram dele, e o consolaram acerca de todo o mal que o Senhor lhe havia enviado: e cada um deles lhe deu uma peça de dinheiro, e cada um um pendente de ouro.

12 And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job, [more] than the beginning: and his cattle were fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, a thousand she-asses of the pastures.

E assim abençoou o Senhor ao último estado de Job, mais do que o primeiro: porque teve quatorze mil ovelhas, e seis mil camelos, e mil juntas de bois, e mil jumentas.

13 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.

Também teve sete filhos e três filhas.

14 And he called the first Day, and the second Casia, and the third Amalthaea's horn.

E chamou o nome da primeira Jemima, e o nome da outra cássia, e o nome da terceira Keren-happuch.

15 And there were not found in comparison with the daughters of Job, fairer [women] than they in all the world: and their father gave them an inheritance amongst their brethren.

E em toda a terra não se acharam mulheres tão formosas como as filhas de Job; e seu pai lhes deu herança entre seus irmãos.

16 And Job lived after [his] affliction a hundred and seventy years: and all the years he lived were two hundred and forty: and Job saw his sons and his sons' sons, the fourth generation.

E depois disto viveu Job cento e quarenta anos: e viu a seus filhos, e aos filhos de seus filhos, até à quarta geração.

17 And Job died, an old man and full of days.

Então morreu Job, velho e farto de dias.
