約伯記 42
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
約伯認罪自責
42 約伯回答耶和華說： 2 「我知道，你萬事都能做，你的旨意不能攔阻。 3 誰用無知的言語使你的旨意隱藏呢？我所說的，是我不明白的；這些事太奇妙，是我不知道的。 4 求你聽我，我要說話；我問你，求你指示我。 5 我從前風聞有你，現在親眼看見你。 6 因此我厭惡自己[a]，在塵土和爐灰中懊悔。」
耶和華責其三友
7 耶和華對約伯說話以後，就對提幔人以利法說：「我的怒氣向你和你兩個朋友發作，因為你們議論我，不如我的僕人約伯說的是。 8 現在你們要取七隻公牛、七隻公羊，到我僕人約伯那裡去，為自己獻上燔祭，我的僕人約伯就為你們祈禱。我因悅納他，就不按你們的愚妄辦你們。你們議論我，不如我的僕人約伯說的是。」 9 於是提幔人以利法、書亞人比勒達、拿瑪人瑣法照著耶和華所吩咐的去行，耶和華就悅納約伯。
賜福約伯較昔維倍
10 約伯為他的朋友祈禱，耶和華就使約伯從苦境[b]轉回，並且耶和華賜給他的，比他從前所有的加倍。 11 約伯的弟兄姐妹和以先所認識的人都來見他，在他家裡一同吃飯，又論到耶和華所降於他的一切災禍，都為他悲傷安慰他，每人也送他一塊銀子和一個金環。 12 這樣，耶和華後來賜福給約伯比先前更多。他有一萬四千羊，六千駱駝，一千對牛，一千母驢。 13 他也有七個兒子，三個女兒。 14 他給長女起名叫耶米瑪，次女叫基洗亞，三女叫基連哈樸。 15 在那全地的婦女中，找不著像約伯的女兒那樣美貌。她們的父親使她們在弟兄中得產業。
約伯壽終
16 此後，約伯又活了一百四十年，得見他的兒孫，直到四代。 17 這樣，約伯年紀老邁，日子滿足而死。
Job 42
English Standard Version
Job's Confession and Repentance
42 Then Job answered the Lord and said:
2 “I know that you can (A)do all things,
and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
3 (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.
4 ‘Hear, and I will speak;
(D)I will question you, and you make it known to me.’
5 I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,
but now my eye sees you;
6 therefore I despise myself,
and repent in[a] (E)dust and ashes.”
The Lord Rebukes Job's Friends
7 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. 8 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.” 9 (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.
