42 Отговори Иов на Господа и рече:

(A)зная, че Ти всичко можеш, и че намерението Ти не може да бъде спряно.

(B)Кой е този, който помрачава Провидението, без да разбира нещо? Тъй, аз говорих онова, що не разбирах, за чудни мен дела, които не знаех.

Послушай ме, виках аз, и ще говоря, и каквото Те питам, обясни ми.

(C)Слушал бях за Тебе със слуха на ухото; сега пък очите ми Те виждат;

затова аз се отричам и разкайвам в прах и пепел.

(D)И отподир, след като Господ изговори на Иова тия думи, каза на Елифаза Теманеца: разпали се гневът Ми против тебе и против двамата твои другари, задето говорихте за Мене не тъй вярно, както Моят раб Иов.

(E)Затова, вземете със себе си седем телеца и седем овена, па идете при Моя раб Иова и пренесете за себе си жертва; и Моят раб Иов ще се помоли за вас, защото само неговото лице ще приема, за да ви не отхвърля, задето говорихте за Мене не тъй вярно, както Моят раб Иов.

И отидоха Елифаз Теманец, Вилдад Савхеец и Софар Наамец, и сториха, както Господ им заповяда, – и Господ прие лицето Иовово.

10 (F)И върна Господ Иову загубата, когато той се помоли за приятелите си; и даде Господ на Иова двойно повече от онова, що имаше попреди.

11 Тогава дойдоха при него всичките му братя и всичките му сестри и всичките му напрежни познайници, та ядоха с него хляб в къщата му и тъжиха с него, и утешаваха го за всичкото зло, що Господ му бе напратил, и дадоха му всякой по кесита и по златен пръстен.

12 (G)И благослови Бог последните дни на Иова повече от напрежните: той имаше четиринайсет хиляди дребен добитък, шест хиляди камили, хиляда рала волове и хиляда ослици.

13 Имаше и седем сина и три дъщери.

14 И нарече първата Емима, втората Касия, а третата – Керенхапух.

15 И нямаше по цялата земя такива хубави жени, както Иововите дъщери, и баща им даде тям наследство между братята им.

16 (H)После това Иов живя сто и четирийсет години, и видя синове и внуци до четвърто коляно.

17 И умря Иов стар и сит на живот.

Job's Confession and Repentance

42 Then Job answered the Lord and said:

“I know that you can (A)do all things,
    and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
(B)‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
    things (C)too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
‘Hear, and I will speak;
    (D)I will question you, and you make it known to me.’
I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,
    but now my eye sees you;
therefore I despise myself,
    and repent in[a] (E)dust and ashes.”

The Lord Rebukes Job's Friends

After the Lord had spoken these words to Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz (F)the Temanite: “My anger burns against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has. Now therefore take (G)seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and (H)offer up a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job shall (I)pray for you, for I will accept his prayer not to deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.” (J)So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what the Lord had told them, and the Lord accepted Job's prayer.

The Lord Restores Job's Fortunes

10 And the Lord (K)restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave Job (L)twice as much as he had before. 11 Then came to him all his (M)brothers and sisters and all who had (N)known him before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they (O)showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil[b] that the Lord had brought upon him. And each of them gave him (P)a piece of money[c] and (Q)a ring of gold.

12 And the Lord blessed (R)the latter days of Job more than his beginning. And he had (S)14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. 13 He had also (T)seven sons and three daughters. 14 And he called the name of the first daughter Jemimah, and the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch. 15 And in all the land there were no women so beautiful as Job's daughters. And their father gave them an inheritance (U)among their brothers. 16 And after this Job lived 140 years, and (V)saw his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations. 17 And Job died, an old man, and (W)full of days.

42 Then Job answered the Lord, and said:

I know that thou canst do all things, and no thought is hid from thee.

Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have spoken unwisely, and things that above measure exceeded my knowledge.

Hear, and I will speak: I will ask thee, and do thou tell me.

With the hearing of the ear, I have heard thee, but now my eye seeth thee.

Therefore I reprehend myself, and do penance in dust and ashes.

And after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Themanite: My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends, because you have not spoken the thing that is right before me, as my servant Job hath.

Take unto you therefore seven oxen, and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer for yourselves a holocaust: and my servant Job shall pray for you: his face I will accept, that folly be not imputed to you: for you have not spoken right things before me, as my servant Job hath.

So Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Sophar the Naamathite went, and did as the Lord had spoken to them, and the Lord accepted the face of Job.

10 The Lord also was turned at the penance of Job, when he prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.

11 And all his brethren came to him, and all his sisters, and all that knew him before, and they ate bread with him in his house: and bemoaned him, and comforted him upon all the evil that God had brought upon him. And every man gave him one ewe, and one earring of gold.

12 And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.

13 And he had seven sons, and three daughters.

14 And he called the names of one Dies, and the name of the second Cassia, and the name of the third Cornustibil.

15 And there were not found in all the earth women so beautiful as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.

16 And Job lived after these things, a hundred and forty years, and he saw his children, and his children's children, unto the fourth generation, and he died an old man, and full of days.
