約伯記 42
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
42 約伯回答耶和華說：
2 「我知道你無所不能，
你的旨意無不成就。
3 你問，『誰用無知的話使我的旨意晦暗不明？』
誠然，我對自己所談論的事一無所知，
這些事太奇妙，我無法明白。
4 你說，『你且聽著，我要發言。
我來提問，你來回答。』
5 我從前風聞有你，
現在親眼看見你。
6 因此我厭惡自己，
在塵土和爐灰中懺悔。」
結語
7 耶和華對約伯說完這些話後，就對提幔人以利法說：「你和你的兩個朋友令我憤怒，因為你們對我的議論不如我僕人約伯說的有理。 8 現在你們要取七頭公牛和七隻公羊，到我僕人約伯那裡，為自己獻上燔祭，因為你們對我的議論不如我僕人約伯說的有理。我僕人約伯會為你們禱告，我會悅納他的禱告，不按你們的愚妄懲罰你們。」 9 於是，提幔人以利法、書亞人比勒達和拿瑪人瑣法遵命而行，耶和華悅納了約伯的禱告。
10 約伯為朋友們禱告後，耶和華恢復了他以前的昌盛，並且耶和華賜給他的比以前多一倍。 11 約伯的兄弟姊妹和從前的朋友都來探望他，在他家裡一同吃飯，為他遭受耶和華所降的種種災難而安撫、慰問他。他們每人送他一塊銀子和一個金環。
12 耶和華賜給約伯晚年的福分比起初更多：他有一萬四千隻羊、六千隻駱駝、一千對牛和一千頭母驢。 13 他還有七個兒子和三個女兒。 14 他給長女取名叫耶米瑪、次女叫基洗亞、三女叫基連·哈樸。 15 那地方找不到像約伯三個女兒那樣美麗的女子。約伯讓她們與弟兄一同承受產業。 16 此後，約伯又活了一百四十年，得見四代子孫。 17 約伯年紀老邁，壽終正寢。
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。

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。

Job 42
GOD’S WORD Translation
Job Speaks: I Admit That I Was Wrong
42 Then Job answered the Lord,
2 “I know that you can do everything
and that your plans are unstoppable.
3 “⌞You said,⌟ ‘Who is this that belittles my advice
without having any knowledge ⌞about it⌟?’
Yes, I have stated things I didn’t understand,
things too mysterious for me to know.
4 “⌞You said,⌟ ‘Listen now, and I will speak.
I will ask you, and you will teach me.’
5 I had heard about you with my own ears,
but now I have seen you with my own eyes.
6 That is why I take back what I said,
and I sit in dust and ashes to show that I am sorry.”
Job’s Life Is Restored
7 After the Lord had said those things to Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz from Teman, “I’m very angry with you and your two friends because you didn’t speak what is right about me as my servant Job has done. 8 So take seven young bulls and seven rams. Go to my servant Job, and make a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you. Then I will accept his prayer not to treat you as godless fools. After all, you didn’t speak what is right about me as my servant Job has done.”
9 Then Eliphaz of Teman, Bildad of Shuah, and Zophar of Naama went and did what the Lord had told them to do. And the Lord accepted Job’s prayer.
10 After Job prayed for his friends, the Lord restored Job’s prosperity and gave him twice as much ⌞as he had before⌟. 11 Then all his brothers and sisters and everyone who had previously known him came to him. They ate with him at his house, sympathized with him, and comforted him for all the evil the Lord had brought to him. Each one gave him some money and a gold ring.
12 The Lord blessed the latter years of Job’s life more than the earlier years. He had 14,000 sheep and goats, 6,000 camels, 2,000 oxen, and 1,000 donkeys. 13 He also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 He named the first ⌞daughter⌟ Jemimah, the second Cassia, and the third Keren Happuch. 15 Nowhere in the whole country could be found women who were as beautiful as Job’s daughters. Their father gave them and their brothers an inheritance.
16 Job lived 140 years after this. He saw his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.[a] 17 Then at a very old age, Job died.
