约伯记 42
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
42 约伯回答耶和华说：
2 “我知道你无所不能，
你的旨意无不成就。
3 你问，‘谁用无知的话使我的旨意晦暗不明？’
诚然，我对自己所谈论的事一无所知，
这些事太奇妙，我无法明白。
4 你说，‘你且听着，我要发言。
我来提问，你来回答。’
5 我从前风闻有你，
现在亲眼看见你。
6 因此我厌恶自己，
在尘土和炉灰中忏悔。”
结语
7 耶和华对约伯说完这些话后，就对提幔人以利法说：“你和你的两个朋友令我愤怒，因为你们对我的议论不如我仆人约伯说的有理。 8 现在你们要取七头公牛和七只公羊，到我仆人约伯那里，为自己献上燔祭，因为你们对我的议论不如我仆人约伯说的有理。我仆人约伯会为你们祷告，我会悦纳他的祷告，不按你们的愚妄惩罚你们。” 9 于是，提幔人以利法、书亚人比勒达和拿玛人琐法遵命而行，耶和华悦纳了约伯的祷告。
10 约伯为朋友们祷告后，耶和华恢复了他以前的昌盛，并且耶和华赐给他的比以前多一倍。 11 约伯的兄弟姊妹和从前的朋友都来探望他，在他家里一同吃饭，为他遭受耶和华所降的种种灾难而安抚、慰问他。他们每人送他一块银子和一个金环。
12 耶和华赐给约伯晚年的福分比起初更多：他有一万四千只羊、六千只骆驼、一千对牛和一千头母驴。 13 他还有七个儿子和三个女儿。 14 他给长女取名叫耶米玛、次女叫基洗亚、三女叫基连·哈朴。 15 那地方找不到像约伯三个女儿那样美丽的女子。约伯让她们与弟兄一同承受产业。 16 此后，约伯又活了一百四十年，得见四代子孙。 17 约伯年纪老迈，寿终正寝。

Job Speaks: I Admit That I Was Wrong
42 Then Job answered the Lord,
2 “I know that you can do everything
and that your plans are unstoppable.
3 “⌞You said,⌟ ‘Who is this that belittles my advice
without having any knowledge ⌞about it⌟?’
Yes, I have stated things I didn’t understand,
things too mysterious for me to know.
4 “⌞You said,⌟ ‘Listen now, and I will speak.
I will ask you, and you will teach me.’
5 I had heard about you with my own ears,
but now I have seen you with my own eyes.
6 That is why I take back what I said,
and I sit in dust and ashes to show that I am sorry.”
Job’s Life Is Restored
7 After the Lord had said those things to Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz from Teman, “I’m very angry with you and your two friends because you didn’t speak what is right about me as my servant Job has done. 8 So take seven young bulls and seven rams. Go to my servant Job, and make a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you. Then I will accept his prayer not to treat you as godless fools. After all, you didn’t speak what is right about me as my servant Job has done.”
9 Then Eliphaz of Teman, Bildad of Shuah, and Zophar of Naama went and did what the Lord had told them to do. And the Lord accepted Job’s prayer.
10 After Job prayed for his friends, the Lord restored Job’s prosperity and gave him twice as much ⌞as he had before⌟. 11 Then all his brothers and sisters and everyone who had previously known him came to him. They ate with him at his house, sympathized with him, and comforted him for all the evil the Lord had brought to him. Each one gave him some money and a gold ring.
12 The Lord blessed the latter years of Job’s life more than the earlier years. He had 14,000 sheep and goats, 6,000 camels, 2,000 oxen, and 1,000 donkeys. 13 He also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 He named the first ⌞daughter⌟ Jemimah, the second Cassia, and the third Keren Happuch. 15 Nowhere in the whole country could be found women who were as beautiful as Job’s daughters. Their father gave them and their brothers an inheritance.
16 Job lived 140 years after this. He saw his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.[a] 17 Then at a very old age, Job died.

42 Then Job replied to the Lord:
2 “I know that you can do all things;(A)
no purpose of yours can be thwarted.(B)
3 You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’(C)
Surely I spoke of things I did not understand,
things too wonderful for me to know.(D)
4 “You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.’(E)
5 My ears had heard of you(F)
but now my eyes have seen you.(G)
6 Therefore I despise myself(H)
and repent(I) in dust and ashes.”(J)
Epilogue
7 After the Lord had said these things to Job(K), he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends,(L) because you have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has.(M) 8 So now take seven bulls and seven rams(N) and go to my servant Job(O) and sacrifice a burnt offering(P) for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer(Q) and not deal with you according to your folly.(R) You have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has.”(S) 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite(T) did what the Lord told them; and the Lord accepted Job’s prayer.(U)
10 After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes(V) and gave him twice as much as he had before.(W) 11 All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before(X) came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the Lord had brought on him,(Y) and each one gave him a piece of silver[a] and a gold ring.
12 The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys. 13 And he also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch. 15 Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job’s daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.
16 After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. 17 And so Job died, an old man and full of years.(Z)
