约伯记 42
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
约伯认罪
42 约伯回答耶和华说：
2 “我知道你万事都能作，
你的旨意是不能拦阻的。
3 这以无知无识的言语使 神的旨意模糊不清的是谁呢？
所以我说了我所不明白的；
这些事太奇妙，是我不晓得的。
4 求你听我，我要说话；
我要问你，你要告诉我。
5 我从前只是风闻有你，
但现在亲眼看见你。
6 因此我厌恶自己，
在尘土和灰烬中懊悔。”
耶和华责约伯三友
7 耶和华对约伯说了这些话以后，就对提幔人以利法说：“我要向你和你的两个朋友生气，因为你们讲论我，不如我的仆人约伯说的对。 8 现在你们要为自己取七头公牛、七只公羊，到我的仆人约伯那里去，为你们献上燔祭，我的仆人约伯就替你们祷告；我悦纳他的祷告，就不按照你们的愚昧待你们。你们讲论我，不如我的仆人约伯说的对。” 9 于是提幔人以利法、书亚人比勒达、拿玛人琐法，照着耶和华吩咐他们的去行，耶和华就悦纳约伯的祷告。
加倍赐福约伯
10 约伯替他的朋友祷告，耶和华就恢复约伯原来的景况，还照约伯以前所有的一切加倍赐给他。 11 约伯的众兄弟姊妹和以前认识的人都来见他，在他家里与他一同吃饭，又因耶和华降予他的一切灾祸都对他表同情，安慰他，每人送他一块银子和一个金环。 12 这样，耶和华后来赐给约伯的福比先前更多：他有一万四千只羊、六千匹骆驼、一千对牛、一千头母驴。 13 他也有七个儿子和三个女儿。 14 他给长女起名叫耶米玛，次女名叫基洗亚，三女名叫基连．哈朴。 15 在那全地中，找不到像约伯女儿那么美貌的妇女。她们的父亲在她们兄弟中间把产业分给她们。
约伯逝世
16 此后，约伯又活了一百四十年，得见他的儿孙到四代。 17 这样，约伯年纪老迈，寿终而死。

Job Answers the Lord
42 Then Job answered the Lord:
2 “I know that you can do all things.
No plan of yours can be ruined.
3 You asked, ‘Who is this that made my purpose unclear by saying things that are not true?’
Surely I talked about things I did not understand.
I spoke of things too wonderful for me to know.
4 You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak.
I will ask you questions.
And you must answer me.’
5 My ears had heard of you before.
But now my eyes have seen you.
6 So now I hate myself.
I will change my heart and life and sit in the dust and ashes.”
End of the Story
7 After the Lord had said these things to Job, he spoke to Eliphaz the Temanite. The Lord said to him, “I am angry with you and your two friends. This is because you have not said what is right about me. But my servant Job did. 8 So now take seven bulls and seven male sheep. Go to my servant Job. And offer a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you. And I will listen to his prayer. Then I will not punish you for being foolish. You have not said what is right about me. But my servant Job did.” 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite did as the Lord told him to do. Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite also did as the Lord said. And the Lord listened to Job’s prayer.
10 After Job had prayed for his friends, God gave him success again. God gave Job twice as much as he had owned before. 11 Job’s brothers and sisters came to his house. Everyone who had known him before came to his house. And they all ate with him there. They comforted Job and spoke kindly to him. They made him feel better about the trouble the Lord had brought on him. And each one gave Job a piece of silver and a gold ring.
12 The Lord blessed the last part of Job’s life even more than the first part. Job had 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels. He had 1,000 pairs of oxen and 1,000 female donkeys. 13 Job also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 He named the first daughter Jemimah. The second daughter he named Keziah. And his third daughter he named Keren-Happuch. 15 There were no other women in all the land as beautiful as Job’s daughters. And their father Job gave them land to own along with their brothers.
16 After this, Job lived 140 years. He lived to see his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. 17 Then Job died. He was old and had lived many years.
