约伯记 42
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
约伯认罪自责
42 约伯回答耶和华说: 2 “我知道,你万事都能做,你的旨意不能拦阻。 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 求你听我,我要说话;我问你,求你指示我。 5 我从前风闻有你,现在亲眼看见你。 6 因此我厌恶自己[a],在尘土和炉灰中懊悔。”
耶和华责其三友
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 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 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。
赐福约伯较昔维倍
10 约伯为他的朋友祈祷,耶和华就使约伯从苦境[b]转回,并且耶和华赐给他的,比他从前所有的加倍。 11 约伯的弟兄姐妹和以先所认识的人都来见他,在他家里一同吃饭,又论到耶和华所降于他的一切灾祸,都为他悲伤安慰他,每人也送他一块银子和一个金环。 12 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 他也有七个儿子,三个女儿。 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 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。
约伯寿终
16 此后,约伯又活了一百四十年,得见他的儿孙,直到四代。 17 这样,约伯年纪老迈,日子满足而死。

New International Reader's Version
Job’s Reply
42 Job replied to the Lord,
2 “I know that you can do anything.
No one can keep you from doing what you plan to do.
3 You asked me, ‘Who do you think you are to disagree with my plans?
You do not know what you are talking about.’
I spoke about things I didn’t completely understand.
I talked about things that were too wonderful for me to know.
4 “You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak.
I will ask you some questions.
Then I want you to answer me.’
5 My ears had heard about you.
But now my own eyes have seen you.
6 So I hate myself.
I’m really sorry for what I said about you.
That’s why I’m sitting in dust and ashes.”
The Story Ends
7 After the Lord finished speaking to Job, he spoke to Eliphaz the Temanite. He said, “I am angry with you and your two friends. You have not said what is true about me, as my servant Job has. 8 So now get seven bulls and seven rams. Go to my servant Job. Then sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you. And I will accept his prayer. I will not punish you for saying the foolish things you said. You have not said what is true about me, as my servant Job has.” 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite did what the Lord told them to do. And the Lord accepted Job’s prayer.
10 After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord made him successful again. He gave him twice as much as he had before. 11 All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came to see him. They ate with him in his house. They showed their concern for him. They comforted him because of all the troubles the Lord had brought on him. Each one gave him 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. He gave Job 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels. He gave him 1,000 pairs of oxen and 1,000 donkeys. 13 Job also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 He named the first daughter Jemimah. He named the second Keziah. And he named the third Keren-Happuch. 15 Job’s daughters were more beautiful than any other women in the whole land. Their father gave them a share of property along with their brothers.
16 After all of that happened, Job lived for 140 years. He saw his children, his grandchildren and his great-grandchildren. 17 And so Job died. He had lived for a very long time.

New International Version
Job
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)

Palabra de Dios para Todos
Job responde al Señor
42 Entonces Job le respondió al SEÑOR:
2 «Sé que tú puedes hacer lo que quieras,
y que no se puede detener ninguno de tus planes.
3 Tú preguntaste:
“¿Quién es el que con su falta de conocimiento oscurece mi consejo?”
Yo fui quien hablaba sin saber lo que decía.
Hablé sobre asuntos tan maravillosos para mí
que quedaban fuera de mi entendimiento.
4 »Tú dijiste: “Óyeme y hablaré.
Te preguntaré y tú me explicarás”.
5 Yo sólo sabía de ti de oídas,
pero ahora mis ojos te han visto.
6 Por eso me retracto de lo que he dicho
y veo que sólo soy polvo y ceniza».[a]
El Señor regaña a los amigos de Job
7 Una vez que el SEÑOR terminó de hablarle a Job, el SEÑOR se dirigió a Elifaz de Temán: «Estoy muy enojado contigo y tus dos compañeros, porque ustedes no hablaron lo que es correcto acerca de mí, cosa que Job sí hizo. 8 Así que ahora tomen siete toros y siete carneros, y llévenselos a mi siervo Job. Ofrézcanlos por ustedes como sacrificio que debe quemarse completamente. Mi siervo Job orará por ustedes. Yo escucharé a Job y no trataré directamente con ustedes porque no hablaron lo que es verdad acerca de mí, en cambio mi siervo Job sí lo hizo».
9 Entonces Elifaz de Temán, Bildad de Súah y Zofar de Namat obedecieron al SEÑOR. Y el SEÑOR respondió la oración de Job.
Dios restaura la prosperidad de Job
10 Y el SEÑOR le restauró a Job su fortuna después que él oró pidiendo por sus amigos. El SEÑOR le dio dos veces más de lo que tenía antes. 11 Entonces todos sus hermanos y hermanas, y toda la gente que lo había conocido desde antes, lo visitaron y comieron con él en su casa. Todos ellos compartieron su dolor y lo consolaron por todo el mal que el SEÑOR lo había dejado sufrir. Cada uno le llevó a Job una moneda de plata y un anillo de oro.
12 El SEÑOR bendijo la última parte de la vida de Job más que la primera. Job recibió 14 000 ovejas, 6000 camellos, 1000 yuntas de bueyes y 1000 burras. 13 También recibió siete hijos y tres hijas. 14 Job llamó a la primera hija Paloma, a la segunda Canela, y a la tercera Bonita[b]. 15 Las hijas de Job fueron las mujeres más bellas de todo el país y él le dio a cada una de ellas su parte de la herencia junto con sus hermanos.[c] 16 Job vivió ciento 40 años más, lo suficiente para ver a sus hijos, nietos, bisnietos y tataranietos. 17 Murió muy anciano después de disfrutar una larga vida.
