Job 42

1 Then Job answered the LORD:

约伯回答耶和华说：

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

我知道，你万事都能做； 你的旨意不能拦阻。

3 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.

谁用无知的言语使你的旨意隐藏呢？ 我所说的是我不明白的； 这些事太奇妙，是我不知道的。

4 You said, ‘Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.’

求你听我，我要说话； 我问你，求你指示我。

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

我从前风闻有你， 现在亲眼看见你。

6 Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”

因此我厌恶自己， 在尘土和炉灰中懊悔。

7 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.

耶和华对约伯说话以后，就对提幔人以利法说：“我的怒气向你和你两个朋友发作，因为你们议论我不如我的仆人约伯说的是。

8 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.”

现在你们要取七只公牛，七只公羊，到我仆人约伯那里去，为自己献上燔祭，我的仆人约伯就为你们祈祷。我因悦纳他，就不按你们的愚妄办你们。你们议论我，不如我的仆人约伯说的是。”

9 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.

于是提幔人以利法、书亚人比勒达、拿玛人琐法照着耶和华所吩咐的去行；耶和华就悦纳约伯。

10 The LORD restored Job’s prosperity when he prayed for his friends. The LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

约伯为他的朋友祈祷。耶和华就使约伯从苦境转回，并且耶和华赐给他的比他从前所有的加倍。

11 Then all his brothers, all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, came to him and ate bread with him in his house. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that the LORD had brought on him. Everyone also gave him a piece of money, and everyone a ring of gold.

约伯的弟兄、姊妹，和以先所认识的人都来见他，在他家里一同吃饭；又论到耶和华所降与他的一切灾祸，都为他悲伤安慰他。每人也送他一块银子和一个金环。

12 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.

这样，耶和华后来赐福给约伯比先前更多。他有一万四千羊，六千骆驼，一千对牛，一千母驴。

13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.

他也有七个儿子，三个女儿。

14 He called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren Happuch.

他给长女起名叫耶米玛，次女叫基洗亚，三女叫基连·哈朴。

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

在那全地的妇女中找不着像约伯的女儿那样美貌。她们的父亲使她们在弟兄中得产业。

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

此后，约伯又活了一百四十年，得见他的儿孙，直到四代。

17 So Job died, being old and full of days.

这样，约伯年纪老迈，日子满足而死。
