ヨブ 記 42

1 ヨブ是に於てヱホバに答へて曰く

Then Job answered the LORD,

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すあたはざる無し

"I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.

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

You asked, 'Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?' therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did 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

You said, 'Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer 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

I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.

6 是をもて我みづから恨み 塵灰の中にて悔ゆ

Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes."

7 ヱホバ是等の言語をヨブに語りたまひて後エホバ、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

It was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

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 to yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has."

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 what the LORD commanded them, and the LORD 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

The LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends. The LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

11 是において彼の諸の兄弟諸の姉妹およびその舊相識れ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 there to him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that the LORD had permitted on him. And each of them gave him a kesitah and a gold ring.

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

So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.

13 また男子七人 女子三人ありき

He had also 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

He called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; 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産業をあたへたり

In all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job. Their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.

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

After this Job lived one hundred forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, to four generations.

17 かくヨブは年老い日滿て死たりき

So Job died, being old and full of days.
