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 42
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Job Replies to the Lord
42 Then Job replied to the Lord:
2 I[a] know that You can do anything
and no plan of Yours can be thwarted.(A)
3 You asked, “Who is this who conceals My counsel with ignorance?”(B)
Surely I spoke about things I did not understand,
things too wonderful for me to[b] know.(C)
4 You said, “Listen now, and I will speak.
When I question(D) you, you will inform Me.”
5 I had heard rumors about You,
but now my eyes(E) have seen You.
6 Therefore I take back my words
and repent in dust and ashes.[c]
7 After the Lord had finished speaking[d] to Job, He said to Eliphaz the Temanite: “I am angry with you and your two friends, for you have not spoken the truth about Me, as My servant Job has. 8 Now take seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. Then My servant Job will pray for you.(F) I will surely accept his prayer and not deal with you as your folly deserves. For you have not spoken the truth about Me, as My servant Job has.” 9 Then Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the Lord had told them, and the Lord accepted Job’s prayer.
God Restores Job
10 After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his prosperity and doubled his previous possessions.(G) 11 All his brothers, sisters, and former acquaintances(H) came to his house and dined with him in his house. They sympathized with him and comforted him concerning all the adversity the Lord had brought on him. Each one gave him a qesitah[e](I) and a gold earring.(J)
12 So the Lord blessed the last part of Job’s life more than the first. He owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. 13 He also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 He named his first daughter Jemimah, his second Keziah, and his third Keren-happuch.(K) 15 No women as beautiful as Job’s daughters could be found in all the land, and their father granted them an inheritance with their brothers.
16 Job lived 140 years after this and saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. 17 Then Job died, old and full of days.(L)
Job 42
New King James Version
Job’s Repentance and Restoration
42 Then Job answered the Lord and said:
2 “I know that You (A)can do everything,
And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You.
3 You asked, (B)‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
(C)Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
4 Listen, please, and let me speak;
You said, (D)‘I will question you, and you shall answer Me.’
5 “I have (E)heard of You by the hearing of the ear,
But now my eye sees You.
6 Therefore I (F)abhor[a] myself,
And repent in dust and ashes.”
7 And so it was, after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has. 8 Now therefore, take for yourselves (G)seven bulls and seven rams, (H)go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and My servant Job shall (I)pray for you. For I will accept [b]him, lest I deal with you according to your folly; because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.”
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the Lord commanded them; for the Lord had [c]accepted Job. 10 (J)And the Lord [d]restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job (K)twice as much as he had before. 11 Then (L)all his brothers, all his sisters, and all those who had been his acquaintances before, came to him and ate food with him in his house; and they consoled him and comforted him for all the adversity that the Lord had brought upon him. Each one gave him a piece of silver and each a ring of gold.
12 Now the Lord blessed (M)the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had (N)fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys. 13 (O)He also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 And he called the name of the first [e]Jemimah, the name of the second [f]Keziah, and the name of the third [g]Keren-Happuch. 15 In all the land were found no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
16 After this Job (P)lived one hundred and forty years, and saw his children and grandchildren for four generations. 17 So Job died, old and (Q)full of days.
Job 42
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
42 Nang magkagayo'y sumagot si Job sa Panginoon, at nagsabi,
2 Nalalaman ko na magagawa mo ang lahat ng mga bagay, at wala kang akala na mapipigil.
3 Sino itong nagkukubli ng payo na walang kaalaman? Kaya't aking sinambit na hindi ko nauunawa, mga bagay na totoong kagilagilalas sa akin na hindi ko nalalaman.
4 Dinggin mo, isinasamo ko sa iyo, at ako'y magsasalita; ako'y magtatanong sa iyo, at magpahayag ka sa akin.
5 Narinig kita sa pakikinig ng pakinig; nguni't ngayo'y nakikita ka ng aking mata,
6 Kaya't ako'y nayayamot sa sarili, at nagsisisi ako sa alabok at mga abo.
7 At nangyari, na pagkatapos na masalita ng Panginoon ang mga salitang ito kay Job, sinabi ng Panginoon kay Eliphaz na Temanita, Ang aking poot ay nagaalab laban sa iyo, at laban sa iyong dalawang kaibigan: sapagka't hindi kayo nangagsalita tungkol sa akin ng bagay na matuwid, na gaya ng ginawa ng aking lingkod na si Job.
8 Kaya't magsikuha kayo sa inyo ngayon ng pitong guyang baka, at pitong lalaking tupa, at magsiparoon kayo sa aking lingkod na kay Job, at ihandog ninyo sa ganang inyo na pinakahandog na susunugin: at idadalangin kayo ng aking lingkod na si Job: sapagka't siya'y aking tatanggapin, baka kayo'y aking gawan ng ayon sa inyong kamangmangan; sapagka't hindi kayo nangagsasalita tungkol sa akin ng bagay na matuwid, na gaya ng aking lingkod na si Job.
9 Sa gayo'y nagsiyaon si Eliphaz na Temanita, at si Bildad na Suhita, at si Sophar na Naamatita, at ginawa ang ayon sa iniutos sa kanila ng Panginoon: at nilingap ng Panginoon si Job.
10 At inalis ng Panginoon ang pagkabihag ni Job, nang kaniyang idalangin ang kaniyang mga kaibigan; at binigyan ng Panginoon si Job na makalawa ang higit ng dami kay sa tinatangkilik niya ng dati.
11 Nang magkagayo'y nagsiparoon sa kaniya ang lahat niyang mga kapatid na lalake at babae, at lahat na naging kakilala niya ng una, at nagsikain ng tinapay na kasalo niya sa kaniyang bahay; at nakipagdamdam sa kaniya, at inaliw siya tungkol sa lahat na kasamaan na pinasapit sa kaniya ng Panginoon: bawa't tao nama'y nagbigay sa kaniya ng isang putol na salapi, at bawa't isa'y ng isang singsing na ginto.
12 Sa gayo'y pinagpala ng Panginoon, ang huling wakas ni Job na higit kay sa kaniyang pasimula: at siya'y nagkaroon ng labing apat na libong tupa, at anim na libong kamelyo, at isang libong tuwang na baka, at isang libong asnong babae.
13 Siya nama'y nagkaroon din ng pitong anak na lalake at tatlong anak na babae.
14 At tinawag niya ang pangalan ng una na Jemima; at ang pangalan ng ikalawa, Cesiah, at ang pangalan ng ikatlo, Keren-hapuch.
15 At sa buong lupain ay walang mga babaing masumpungan na totoong maganda na gaya ng mga anak na babae ni Job: at binigyan sila ng kanilang ama ng mana sa kasamahan ng kanilang mga kapatid.
16 At pagkatapos nito'y nabuhay si Job na isang daan at apat na pung taon, at nakita niya ang kaniyang mga anak, at ang mga anak ng kaniyang mga anak, hanggang sa apat na saling lahi.
17 Gayon namatay si Job, na matanda at puspos ng mga kaarawan.
Job 42
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)
