Job 42

1 Then Job replied to the LORD:

1 约伯回答耶和华说：

2 “I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted.

2 我知道，你万事都能做； 你的旨意不能拦阻。

3 You asked, ‘Who is this who conceals My counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.

3 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 shall inform Me.’

4 求你听我，我要说话； 我问你，求你指示我。

5 My ears had heard of You, but now my eyes have seen You.

5 我从前风闻有你， 现在亲眼看见你。

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

6 因此我厌恶自己 ， 在尘土和炉灰中懊悔。

7 After the LORD had spoken these words to Job, He said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and your two friends. For you have not spoken about Me accurately, as My servant Job has.

7 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 So now, take seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. Then My servant Job will pray for you, for I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken accurately about Me, as My servant Job has.”

8 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, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD had told them; and the LORD accepted Job’s prayer.

9 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 After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his prosperity and doubled his former possessions.

10 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 All his brothers and sisters and prior acquaintances came and dined with him in his house. They consoled him and comforted him over all the adversity that the LORD had brought upon him. And each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.

11 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 Job’s latter days more than his first. He owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.

12 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 And he also had seven sons and three daughters.

13 他也有七个儿子，三个女儿。

14 He named his first daughter Jemimah, his second Keziah, and his third Keren-happuch.

14 他给长女起名叫耶米玛，次女叫基洗亚，三女叫基连·哈朴。

15 No women as beautiful as Job’s daughters could be found in all the land, and their father granted them an inheritance among their brothers.

15 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 140 years and saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.

16 此后，约伯又活了一百四十年，得见他的儿孙，直到四代。

17 And so Job died, old and full of years.

17 这样，约伯年纪老迈，日子满足而死。
