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.

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.
