< Job 42 >

1 Then Job answered and said to the Lord,
Y respondió Job a Jehová, y dijo:
2 I know that you can do all things, and nothing is impossible with you.
Yo conozco que todo lo puedes, y que no hay pensamiento que se esconda de ti.
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?
¿Quién es el que oscurece el consejo sin sabiduría? Por tanto yo denunciaba lo que no entendía; cosas que me eran ocultas, y que no las sabía.
4 But hear me, O Lord, that I also may speak: and I will ask you, and do you teach me.
Oye ahora, y hablaré: preguntarte he y harásme saber.
5 I have heard the report of you by the ear before; but now mine eye has seen you.
De oídas te había oído; mas ahora mis ojos te ven.
6 Therefore I have counted myself vile, and have fainted: and I esteem myself dust and ashes.
Por tanto yo me condeno a mí mismo, y me arrepiento en polvo y ceniza.
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].
Y aconteció que después que habló Jehová estas palabras a Job, Jehová dijo a Elifaz Temanita: Mi ira se encendió contra ti y tus dos compañeros, porque no habéis hablado por mí lo recto, como mi siervo 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.
Ahora pues tomáos siete becerros, y siete carneros, y andád a mi siervo Job, y ofrecéd holocausto por vosotros: y mi siervo Job orará por vosotros; porque por su respeto solamente no os trataré afrentosamente, por cuanto no habéis hablado por mí rectamente, como mi siervo 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.
Y fueron Elifaz Temanita, y Baldad Sujita, y Sofar Naamatita, e hicieron como Jehová les dijo; y Jehová tuvo respeto a 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.
Y tornó Jehová la aflicción de Job orando él por sus amigos; y aumentó con él doble todas las cosas que habían sido de Job.
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].
Y vinieron a él todos sus hermanos, y todas sus hermanas, y todos los que primero le habían conocido, y comieron con él pan en su casa, y condoleciéronse de él, y consoláronle de todo aquel mal que Jehová había traído sobre él; y cada uno de ellos le dio una oveja, y una joya de oro.
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.
Y Jehová bendijo a la postrimería de Job, más que a su principio; porque tuvo catorce mil ovejas, y seis mil camellos, y mil yuntas de bueyes, y mil asnas.
13 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
Y tuvo siete hijos y tres hijas;
14 And he called the first Day, and the second Casia, and the third Amalthaea's horn.
Y llamó el nombre de la una Jemima, y el nombre de la segunda Cesia, y el nombre de la tercera Keren-hapuc.
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 among their brethren.
Y no se hallaron mujeres tan hermosas como las hijas de Job, en toda la tierra; y dióles su padre herencia entre sus hermanos.
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.
Y después de esto vivió Job ciento y cuarenta años, y vio a sus hijos, y a los hijos de sus hijos, hasta la cuarta generación.
17 And Job died, an old man and full of days.
Y murió Job viejo, y harto de días.
