ヨブ 記 42
1 ヨブ是に於てヱホバに答へて曰く
Then Job responded to Yahweh, and said: —
2 我知る汝は一切の事をなすを得たまふ また如何なる意志にても成あたはざる無し
I know that, all things, thou canst do, and that no purpose can be withholden from thee.
3 無知をもて道を蔽ふ者は誰ぞや 斯われは自ら了解らざる事を言ひ 自ら知ざる測り難き事を述たり
Who is it that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore, have I declared, but not understood, things too wonderful for me, which I could not know.
4 請ふ聽たまへ 我言ふところあらん 我なんぢに問まつらん 我に答へたまへ
Hear thou, I pray thee, and, I, will speak, I will ask thee, and inform thou me.
5 われ汝の事を耳にて聞ゐたりしが今は目をもて汝を見たてまつる
By the hearing of the ear, had I heard thee, but, now, mine own eye, hath seen thee.
6 是をもて我みづから恨み 塵灰の中にて悔ゆ
For this cause, I tremble and repent, on dust and ashes.
7 ヱホバ是等の言語をヨブに語りたまひて後ヱホバ、テマン人エリパズに言たまひけるは我なんぢと汝の二人の友を怒る 其はなんぢらが我に關て言述べたるところはわが僕ヨブの言たることのごとく正當からざればなり
And it came to pass, after Yahweh had spoken these words unto Job, that Yahweh, said unto Eliphaz the Temanite, Kindled is mine anger against thee and against thy two friends, for ye have not spoken concerning me the thing that is right, like my servant Job.
8 然ば汝ら牡牛七頭 牡羊七頭を取てわが僕ヨブに至り汝らの身のために燔祭を獻げよ わが僕ヨブなんぢらのために祈らん われかれを嘉納べければ之によりて汝らの愚を罰せざらん 汝らの我について言述たるところは我僕ヨブの言たることのごとく正當からざればなり
Now, therefore, take unto you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go unto my servant Job, and ye shall offer up an ascending-sacrifice in your own behalf, and, Job my servant, shall pray over you, —for, him, will I accept, that I may not deal out to you disgrace, because ye have not spoken concerning me the thing that is right, like my servant Job.
9 是においてテマン人エリパズ、シユヒ人ビルダデ、ナアマ人ゾパル往てヱホバの自己に宣まひしごとく爲ければヱホバすなはちヨブを嘉納たまへり
So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite [and] Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according to that which Yahweh had spoken unto them, —and Yahweh accepted Job.
10 ヨブその友のために祈れる時 ヱホバ、ヨブの艱難をときて舊に復ししかしてヱホバつひにヨブの所有物を二倍に増たまへり
And, Yahweh himself, turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed in behalf of his friends, —and Yahweh increased all that Job had possessed, unto twice as much.
11 是において彼の諸の兄弟諸の姉妹およびその舊相識る者等ことごとく來りて彼とともにその家にて飮食を爲しかつヱホバの彼に降したまひし一切の災難につきて彼をいたはり慰さめ また各金一ケセタと金の環一箇を之に贈れり
Then came unto him all his brethren and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and they did eat bread with him in his house, —and shewed sympathy with him and comforted him, over all the calamity which Yahweh had brought upon him, —and they gave him, every one a weight of money, and every one, a ring of gold.
12 ヱホバかくのごとくヨブをめぐみてその終を初よりも善したまへり 即ち彼は綿羊一萬四千匹 駱駝六千匹 牛一千軛 牝驢馬一千匹を有り
And, Yahweh, blessed the latter end of Job, more than his beginning, —and so he came to have fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.
13 また男子七人 女子三人ありき
And he came to have seven sons, and three daughters;
14 かれその第一の女をエミマと名け第二をケジアと名け 第三をケレンハツプクと名けたり
and he called the name of the first Jemima, and the name of the second Kezia, —and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
15 全國の中にてヨブの女子等ほど美しき婦人は見えざりき その父之にその兄弟等とおなじく產業をあたへたり
And there were found no women so fair as the daughters of Job, in all the land, —and their father gave them an inheritance, in the midst of their brethren.
16 この後ヨブは百四十年いきながらへてその子その孫と四代までを見たり
And Job lived, after this, a hundred and forty years, —and saw his sons and his sons’ sons, four generations.
17 かくヨブは年老い日滿て死たりき
So Job died, old and satisfied with days.
