Job 42
Biblija: suvremeni hrvatski prijevod
Job odgovara BOGU
42 Tada je Job odgovorio BOGU:
2 »Znam da sve možeš. Poželiš li što učiniti,
nitko to ne može promijeniti niti spriječiti.
3 Pitao si: ‘Tko je ovaj koji krivo govori
o mojem ustroju svijeta?’
Govorio sam o stvarima koje nisam razumio,
previše su čudesne za mene i nisam ih shvaćao.
4 Rekao si: ‘Slušaj sada, a ja ću govoriti;
pitat ću te, a ti mi odgovori.’
5 Čuo sam te vlastitim ušima,
a sada su te i moje oči vidjele.
6 Povlačim što sam rekao.
Tugovao sam u prahu i pepelu,
ali sada prihvaćam utjehu.«
Zaključak
7 Nakon što je BOG sve to izgovorio Jobu, rekao je Elifazu iz Temana: »Ljut sam na tebe i na tvojih dvojicu prijatelja. Niste o meni govorili istinito kao moj sluga Job. 8 Stoga, sada uzmite sedam junaca i sedam ovnova pa idite mom slugi Jobu i za sebe prinesite žrtvu paljenicu. Moj sluga Job molit će za vas, a ja ću mu prihvatiti molitvu. Neću vas kazniti za vašu nerazumnost iako niste o meni govorili istinito kao moj sluga Job.«
9 Tada su Elifaz iz Temana, Bildad iz Šuaha i Sofar iz Naama učinili kako im je rekao BOG. Potom je BOG prihvatio Jobovu molitvu.
10 Nakon što je Job molio za svoje prijatelje, BOG mu je vratio blagostanje. Dao mu je i dvostruko više nego što je imao ranije. 11 U kuću su mu došli sva braća i sestre, zajedno sa svim njegovim poznanicima, pa su s njim jeli. Tugovali su s njim i tješili ga zbog svih nevolja koje je BOG poslao na njega. Svatko mu je od njih dao srebrnjak i zlatan prsten.
12 Drugi je dio Jobovog života BOG blagoslovio više nego prvi. Stekao je četrnaest tisuća ovaca, šest tisuća deva, dvije tisuće volova i tisuću magarica. 13 Također, dobio je i sedmoricu sinova i tri kćeri. 14 Prvoj je kćeri dao ime Jemima, drugoj Kesija, a trećoj Keren Hapuka. 15 U cijeloj zemlji nisu se mogle naći žene tako lijepe kao Jobove kćeri. Otac im je dao dio nasljedstva, kao i njihovoj braći.
16 Nakon toga Job je poživio još sto četrdeset godina. Ne samo što je vidio svoju djecu nego i unuke svojih unuka. 17 Job je umro u dubokoj starosti, nakon dugog i ispunjenog života.

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
King James Version
42 Then Job answered the Lord, and said,
2 I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
3 Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
7 And it was so, that after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
8 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye 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 according as the Lord commanded them: the Lord also accepted Job.
10 And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
12 So the Lord blessed the latter end 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 she asses.
13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.
15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
17 So Job died, being old and full of days.
