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 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.

Job’s Repentance
42 Then Job answered the Lord and said:
2 “I know that You can do everything,
and that no thought can be withheld from You.
3 ‘Who is he who hides counsel without knowledge?’
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
things too wonderful for me which I did not know.
4 “ ‘Hear, and I will speak;
I will question you,
and you declare to Me.’
5 I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear,
but now my eye sees You.
6 Therefore I abhor myself,
and repent in dust and ashes.”
Epilogue
7 And so it was, that after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right as My servant Job has. 8 And now, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and My servant Job will pray for you. For him I will accept, lest I deal with you according to your folly, in that you have not spoken of Me the thing which is right like My servant Job.” 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the Lord had commanded them; the Lord also accepted Job.
10 And the Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. 11 Then all of his brothers, and all his sisters, and all of those who had been of acquaintance before came to Job, and they ate bread with him in his house, and they consoled him and comforted him for all the adversity that the Lord had brought upon him. Every man also gave him a piece of money and an earring of gold.
12 So the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning, for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys. 13 He had also seven sons and three daughters. 14 He called the name of the first Jemimah; and the name of the second Keziah; and the name of the third Keren-Happuch. 15 In all the land, there were no women as beautiful as the daughters of Job, and their father gave them an inheritance along with their brothers.
16 After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and their sons to the fourth generation. 17 So Job died, being old and full of days.

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)
