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。
Job 42

Job Repents in Dust and Ashes
42 Then Job answered Yahweh and said,
2 “I know that (A)You can do all things,
And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.
3 ‘Who is this that (B)hides counsel without knowledge?’
Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand,
Things (C)too marvelous for me, which I did not know.
4 ‘Hear, now, and I will speak;
I will (D)ask You, and You make me know.’
5 I have (E)heard of You by the hearing of the ear;
But now my (F)eye sees You;
6 Therefore I reject myself,
And I repent in dust and ashes.”
Yahweh’s Anger Towards Job’s Friends
7 Now it happened after Yahweh had spoken these words to Job, that Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My anger burns against you and against your two friends because you have not spoken of Me what is right (G)as My servant Job has. 8 So now, take for yourselves (H)seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up a (I)burnt offering for yourselves, and My servant Job will (J)pray for you. (K)For I will [a]accept him so that I may not do 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 Yahweh told them; and Yahweh [b]accepted Job.
Yahweh Restores Job’s Fortunes
10 And Yahweh (L)restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and Yahweh increased all that Job had twofold. 11 Then all his (M)brothers and all his sisters and all who had known him before came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house; and they (N)consoled him and comforted him for all the calamity that Yahweh had brought on him. And each one gave him one [c]qesitah, and each a ring of gold. 12 (O)And Yahweh blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; (P)and he had 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels and 1,000 pairs of oxen and 1,000 female donkeys. 13 (Q)He also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 And he named the first Jemimah and the second Keziah and the third Keren-happuch. 15 Now in all the land no women were found so beautiful as Job’s daughters; and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers. 16 And after this, Job lived 140 years and saw his sons and his grandsons, four generations. 17 (R)Then Job died, an old man and full of days.
