Job 42
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
42 Unya mitubag si Job sa Ginoo, 2 “Nahibalo ako nga mahimo mo ang tanan, ug walay makapugong kanimo. 3 Gipangutana mo ako kon nganong nagduhaduha ako sa imong kaalam nga wala man akoy nahibaloan. Tinuod nga nagsulti ako sa mga butang nga wala ko masabti, mga butang nga dili ko matugkad. 4 Nakigsulti ka kanako ug miingon ka nga mamati ako kanimo ug tubagon ko ang imong mga pangutana. 5 Kaniadto nadungog ko lang sa uban ang bahin kanimo, apan karon nakita ko na gayod ikaw. 6 Busa naulaw ako sa tanan kong gisulti bahin kanimo, ug gihinulsolan ko kini pinaagi sa paglingkod sa yuta ug sa abog.”
Ang Kataposan
7 Human kini masulti sa Ginoo kang Job, miingon siya kang Elifaz nga taga-Teman, “Nasuko ako kanimo ug sa imong duha ka higala, kay dili husto ang inyong gisulti bahin kanako; dili sama sa gihimo ni Job nga akong alagad. 8 Busa karon pagkuha kamo ug pito ka torong baka ug pito ka laking karnero. Lakaw kamo kang Job, ug ihalad ninyo kini isip halad nga sinunog alang sa inyong kaugalingon. Mag-ampo si Job alang kaninyo ug tubagon ko kini ug dili ko kamo silotan nga angay sa inyong kabuang. Wala kamo mosulti ug husto bahin kanako; dili sama sa gihimo ni Job nga akong alagad.”
9 Busa gihimo ni Elifaz nga taga-Teman, ni Bildad nga taga-Shua, ug ni Zofar nga taga-Naama ang gisugo sa Ginoo kanila. Ug gitubag sa Ginoo ang pag-ampo ni Job.
10 Human makaampo si Job alang sa iyang mga higala, gipauswag siya pag-usab sa Ginoo ug gihatagan ug doble sa naangkon niya kaniadto. 11 Unya ang tanan niyang igsoon ug ang tanan niyang higala kanhi nangadto sa iyang balay ug nangaon uban kaniya. Gipadayag nila kang Job ang ilang pagsubo tungod sa tanang kalisod nga gihatag sa Ginoo kaniya. Ug ang matag usa kanila mihatag ug kuwarta ug singsing nga bulawan.
12 Busa gipanalanginan sa Ginoo ang misunod nga mga bahin sa kinabuhi ni Job labaw pa kaysa kaniadto. Gihatagan niya si Job ug 14,000 ka karnero, 6,000 ka kamelyo, 1,000 ka parisan nga baka, ug 1,000 ka bayeng asno. 13 Gihatagan usab niya kini ug pito ka mga anak nga lalaki ug tulo ka mga anak nga babaye. 14 Ang kamagulangan niya nga anak nga babaye mao si Jemina, sunod si Kezia ug unya si Keren Hapuc. 15 Walay babaye nga sama kanila katahom sa tibuok nila nga dapit.[a] Ug gihatagan sila ni Job ug panulondon sama sa ilang igsoon nga mga lalaki.
16 Human niadto, nabuhi pa si Job ug 140 ka tuig, ug nakita pa niya ang iyang mga kaliwat hangtod sa ikaupat nga henerasyon. 17 Tigulang na kaayo siya sa dihang namatay siya.

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's Confession and Repentance
42 Then Job answered the Lord and said:
2 “I know that you can (A)do all things,
and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
3 (B)‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
things (C)too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
4 ‘Hear, and I will speak;
(D)I will question you, and you make it known to me.’
5 I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,
but now my eye sees you;
6 therefore I despise myself,
and repent in[a] (E)dust and ashes.”
The Lord Rebukes Job's Friends
7 After the Lord had spoken these words to Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz (F)the Temanite: “My anger burns against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has. 8 Now therefore take (G)seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and (H)offer up a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job shall (I)pray for you, for I will accept his prayer not to deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.” 9 (J)So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what the Lord had told them, and the Lord accepted Job's prayer.
The Lord Restores Job's Fortunes
10 And the Lord (K)restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave Job (L)twice as much as he had before. 11 Then came to him all his (M)brothers and sisters and all who had (N)known him before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they (O)showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil[b] that the Lord had brought upon him. And each of them gave him (P)a piece of money[c] and (Q)a ring of gold.
12 And the Lord blessed (R)the latter days of Job more than his beginning. And he had (S)14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. 13 He had also (T)seven sons and three daughters. 14 And he called the name of the first daughter Jemimah, and the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch. 15 And in all the land there were no women so beautiful as Job's daughters. And their father gave them an inheritance (U)among their brothers. 16 And after this Job lived 140 years, and (V)saw his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations. 17 And Job died, an old man, and (W)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.
