Job 42

1 Respondens autem Job Domino, dixit:

Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,

2 [Scio quia omnia potes, et nulla te latet cogitatio.

I know that thou canst do all things, And that no purpose of thine can be restrained.

3 Quis est iste qui celat consilium absque scientia? ideo insipienter locutus sum, et quæ ultra modum excederent scientiam meam.

Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that which I understood not, Things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

4 Audi, et ego loquar: interrogabo te, et responde mihi.

Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak; I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

5 Auditu auris audivi te: nunc autem oculus meus videt te.

I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; But now mine eye seeth thee:

6 Idcirco ipse me reprehendo, et ago pœnitentiam in favilla et cinere.]

Wherefore I abhor [myself], And repent in dust and ashes.

7 Postquam autem locutus est Dominus verba hæc ad Job, dixit ad Eliphaz Themanitem: Iratus est furor meus in te, et in duos amicos tuos, quoniam non estis locuti coram me rectum, sicut servus meus Job.

And it was so, that, after Jehovah had spoken these words unto Job, Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

8 Sumite ergo vobis septem tauros et septem arietes, et ite ad servum meum Job, et offerte holocaustum pro vobis: Job autem servus meus orabit pro vobis. Faciem ejus suscipiam, ut non vobis imputetur stultitia: neque enim locuti estis ad me recta, sicut servus meus Job.

Now therefore, take unto you seven bullocks 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 him will I accept, that I deal not with you after your folly; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

9 Abierunt ergo Eliphaz Themanites, et Baldad Suhites, et Sophar Naamathites, et fecerunt sicut locutus fuerat Dominus ad eos: et suscepit Dominus faciem Job.

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as Jehovah commanded them: and Jehovah accepted Job.

10 Dominus quoque conversus est ad pœnitentiam Job, cum oraret ille pro amicis suis: et addidit Dominus omnia quæcumque fuerant Job, duplicia.

And Jehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: and Jehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before.

11 Venerunt autem ad eum omnes fratres sui, et universæ sorores suæ, et cuncti qui noverant eum prius, et comederunt cum eo panem in domo ejus: et moverunt super eum caput, et consolati sunt eum super omni malo quod intulerat Dominus super eum: et dederunt ei unusquisque ovem unam, et inaurem auream unam.

Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one a ring of gold.

12 Dominus autem benedixit novissimis Job magis quam principio ejus: et facta sunt ei quatuordecim millia ovium, et sex millia camelorum, et mille juga boum, et mille asinæ.

So Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: and he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

13 Et fuerunt ei septem filii, et tres filiæ.

He had also seven sons and three daughters.

14 Et vocavit nomen unius Diem, et nomen secundæ Cassiam, et nomen tertiæ Cornustibii.

And he called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.

15 Non sunt autem inventæ mulieres speciosæ sicut filiæ Job in universa terra: deditque eis pater suus hæreditatem inter fratres earum.

And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.

16 Vixit autem Job post hæc centum quadraginta annis, et vidit filios suos, et filios filiorum suorum usque ad quartam generationem:

And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, [even] four generations.

17 et mortuus est senex, et plenus dierum.

So Job died, being old and full of days.
