Job 42

1 Then Job replied to the LORD:

1 فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ ٱلرَّبَّ فَقَالَ:

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

2 «قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ تَسْتَطِيعُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، وَلَا يَعْسُرُ عَلَيْكَ أَمْرٌ.

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 فَمَنْ ذَا ٱلَّذِي يُخْفِي ٱلْقَضَاءَ بِلَا مَعْرِفَةٍ؟ وَلَكِنِّي قَدْ نَطَقْتُ بِمَا لَمْ أَفْهَمْ. بِعَجَائِبَ فَوْقِي لَمْ أَعْرِفْهَا.

4 You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak. I will question you, and you shall inform Me.’

4 اِسْمَعِ ٱلْآنَ وَأَنَا أَتَكَلَّمُ. أَسْأَلُكَ فَتُعَلِّمُنِي.

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

5 بِسَمْعِ ٱلْأُذُنِ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ عَنْكَ، وَٱلْآنَ رَأَتْكَ عَيْنِي.

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

6 لِذَلِكَ أَرْفُضُ وَأَنْدَمُ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ وَٱلرَّمَادِ».

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 وَكَانَ بَعْدَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَ أَيُّوبَ بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَالَ لِأَلِيفَازَ ٱلتَّيْمَانِيِّ: «قَدِ ٱحْتَمَى غَضَبِي عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى كِلَا صَاحِبَيْكَ، لِأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَقُولُوا فِيَّ ٱلصَّوَابَ كَعَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ.

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 وَٱلْآنَ فَخُذُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ سَبْعَةَ ثِيرَانٍ وَسَبْعَةَ كِبَاشٍ وَٱذْهَبُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ، وَأَصْعِدُوا مُحْرَقَةً لِأَجْلِ أَنْفُسِكُمْ، وَعَبْدِي أَيُّوبُ يُصَلِّي مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، لِأَنِّي أَرْفَعُ وَجْهَهُ لِئَلَّا أَصْنَعَ مَعَكُمْ حَسَبَ حَمَاقَتِكُمْ، لِأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَقُولُوا فِيَّ ٱلصَّوَابَ كَعَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ».

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 فَذَهَبَ أَلِيفَازُ ٱلتَّيْمَانِيُّ وَبِلْدَدُ ٱلشُّوحِيُّ وَصُوفَرُ ٱلنَّعْمَاتِيُّ، وَفَعَلُوا كَمَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَهُمْ. وَرَفَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَجْهَ أَيُّوبَ.

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

10 وَرَدَّ ٱلرَّبُّ سَبْيَ أَيُّوبَ لَمَّا صَلَّى لِأَجْلِ أَصْحَابِهِ، وَزَادَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى كُلِّ مَا كَانَ لِأَيُّوبَ ضِعْفًا.

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 فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ كُلُّ إِخْوَتِهِ وَكُلُّ أَخَوَاتِهِ وَكُلُّ مَعَارِفِهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ، وَأَكَلُوا مَعَهُ خُبْزًا فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَرَثَوْا لَهُ وَعَزَّوْهُ عَنْ كُلِّ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي جَلَبَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَعْطَاهُ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمْ قَسِيطَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ قُرْطًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

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 وَبَارَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ آخِرَةَ أَيُّوبَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أُولَاهُ. وَكَانَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ، وَسِتَّةُ آلَافٍ مِنَ ٱلْإِبِلِ، وَأَلْفُ فَدَّانٍ مِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ، وَأَلْفُ أَتَانٍ.

13 And he also had seven sons and three daughters.

13 وَكَانَ لَهُ سَبْعَةُ بَنِينَ وَثَلَاثُ بَنَاتٍ.

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

14 وَسَمَّى ٱسْمَ ٱلْأُولَى يَمِيمَةَ، وَٱسْمَ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ قَصِيعَةَ، وَٱسْمَ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ قَرْنَ هَفُّوكَ.

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 وَلَمْ تُوجَدْ نِسَاءٌ جَمِيلَاتٌ كَبَنَاتِ أَيُّوبَ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَأَعْطَاهُنَّ أَبُوهُنَّ مِيرَاثًا بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِهِنَّ.

16 After this, Job lived 140 years and saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.

16 وَعَاشَ أَيُّوبُ بَعْدَ هَذَا مِئَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، وَرَأَى بَنِيهِ وَبَنِي بَنِيهِ إِلَى أَرْبَعَةِ أَجْيَالٍ.

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

17 ثُمَّ مَاتَ أَيُّوبُ شَيْخًا وَشَبْعَانَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ.
