< Job 42 >

1 Then Job answered the LORD:
Potem je Job odgovoril Gospodu in rekel:
2 “I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.
»Vem, da lahko narediš vsako stvar in da nobena misel ne more biti zadržana pred teboj.
3 You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ therefore I have uttered that which I didn’t understand, things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know.
Kdo je tisti, ki skriva nasvet brez spoznanja? Torej sem rekel, da ne razumem. Stvari zame prečudovite, ki jih nisem poznal.
4 You said, ‘Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.’
Prisluhni, rotim te in bom govoril. Zahteval bom od tebe in oznani mi.
5 I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.
Slišal sem o tebi po poslušanju svojega ušesa. Toda sedaj te vidi moje oko.
6 Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”
Torej preziram samega sebe in se kesam v prahu in pepelu.«
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.
To je bilo tako, da je potem, ko je Gospod te besede govoril Jobu, Gospod rekel Elifázu Temáncu: »Moj bes je vnet zoper tebe in zoper tvoja dva prijatelja, kajti o meni niste govorili stvari, ki je pravilna, kakor je [govoril] moj služabnik Job.
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.”
Zatorej si vzemite k sebi sedem bikcev in sedem ovnov in pojdite k mojemu služabniku Jobu in zase darujte žgalno daritev, moj služabnik Job pa bo molil za vas, kajti njega bom sprejel, da ne bom z vami postopal po vaši neumnosti, v tem, da niste govorili o meni besede, ki je pravilna, kakor moj služabnik Job.«
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.
Tako so Elifáz Temánec, Bildád Suhéjec in Cofár Naámčan odšli in storili glede na to, kakor jim je Gospod zapovedal, Gospod pa je sprejel Joba.
10 The LORD restored Job’s prosperity when he prayed for his friends. The LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
Gospod je obrnil Jobovo ujetništvo, ko je molil za svoje prijatelje. Gospod je dal Jobu tudi dvakrat toliko, kot je imel poprej.
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.
Potem so prišli k njemu vsi njegovi bratje in vse njegove sestre in vsi, ki so bili poprej izmed njegovih znancev in so v njegovi hiši z njim jedli kruh. Sočustvovali so in ga tolažili glede vsega zla, ki ga je Gospod privedel nadenj. Prav tako mu je vsak človek dal kos denarja in vsakdo uhan iz zlata.
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.
Tako je Gospod bolj blagoslovil Jobov poznejši konec kakor njegov začetek, kajti imel je štirinajst tisoč ovc, šest tisoč kamel, tisoč jarmov volov in tisoč oslic.
13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
Imel je tudi sedem sinov in tri hčere.
14 He called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren Happuch.
Ime prve je imenoval Golobica, ime druge Dišavka in ime tretje Lepotica.
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.
Po vsej deželi ni bilo najti tako lepih žensk kakor Jobove hčere in njihov oče jim je dal dediščino med njihovimi brati.
16 After this Job lived one hundred forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, to four generations.
Potem je Job živel sto štirideset let in videl svoje sinove in svojih sinov sinove, celó štiri rodove.
17 So Job died, being old and full of days.
Tako je Job umrl, star in izpolnjen z dnevi.
