Job 42
1 Respondens autem Iob Domino, dixit:
Then Job answered Yahweh and said,
2 Scio quia omnia potes, et nulla te latet cogitatio.
“I know that you can do all things, that no purpose of yours can be stopped.
3 Quis est iste, qui celat consilium absque scientia? ideo insipienter locutus sum, et quæ ultra modum excederent scientiam meam.
'Who is this who without knowledge conceals plans?' Indeed, I have spoken things that I did not understand, things too difficult for me to understand, which I did not know about.
4 Audi, et ego loquar: interrogabo te, et responde mihi.
You said to me, 'Listen, now, and I will speak; I will ask you things, and you will tell me.'
5 Auditu auris audivi te, nunc autem oculus meus videt te.
I had heard about you by my ear's hearing, but now my eye sees you.
6 Idcirco ipse me reprehendo, et ago pœnitentiam in favilla et cinere.
So I despise myself; I repent in dust and ashes.”
7 Postquam autem locutus est Dominus verba hæc ad Iob, 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 Iob.
It came about that after he had said these words to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has done.
8 Sumite ergo vobis septem tauros, et septem arietes, et ite ad servum meum Iob, et offerte holocaustum pro vobis: Iob autem servus meum orabit pro vobis: faciem eius suscipiam ut non vobis imputetur stultitia: neque enim locuti estis ad me recta, sicut servus meus Iob.
Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer, so that I may not deal with you after your folly. You have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has done.”
9 Abierunt ergo Eliphaz Themanites, et Baldad Suhites, et Sophar Naamathites, et fecerunt sicut locutus fuerat Dominus ad eos, et suscepit Dominus faciem Iob.
So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as Yahweh had commanded them, and Yahweh accepted Job.
10 Dominus quoque conversus est ad pœnitentiam Iob, cum oraret ille pro amicis suis. Et addidit Dominus omnia quæcumque fuerant Iob, duplicia.
When Job prayed for his friends, Yahweh restored his fortunes. Yahweh gave him twice as much as he had possessed 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 eius: 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 all Job's brothers, and all his sisters, and all who knew him before, came to him and ate food with him in his house. They showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the disasters that Yahweh had brought upon him, and each of them gave Job a piece of silver and a ring of gold.
12 Dominus autem benedixit novissimis Iob magis quam principio eius. Et facta sunt ei quatuordecim millia ovium, et sex millia camelorum, et mille iuga boum, et mille asinæ.
Yahweh blessed the final end of Job's life more than the first; he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.
13 Et fuerunt ei septem filii, et tres filiæ.
He also had seven sons and three daughters.
14 Et vocavit nomen unius Diem, et nomen secundæ Cassiam, et nomen tertiæ Cornustibii.
He named the first daughter Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-Happuch.
15 Non sunt autem inventæ mulieres speciosæ sicut filiæ Iob in universa terra: deditque eis pater suus hereditatem inter fratres earum.
In all the land no women were found as beautiful as Job's daughters. Their father gave them an inheritance along with their brothers.
16 Vixit autem Iob post hæc, centum quadraginta annis, et vidit filios suos, et filios filiorum suorum usque ad quartam generationem,
After this, Job lived 140 years; he saw his sons and his sons' sons, up to four generations.
17 et mortuus est senex, et plenus dierum.
Then Job died, being old and full of days.
