Silloin Job sanoi Herralle: |
And Job said in answer to the Lord, |
|
2
|
-- Nyt minä ymmärrän, että kaikki on sinun vallassasi eikä mikään suunnitelmasi ole mahdoton sinun toteuttaa. |
I see that you are able to do every thing, and to give effect to all your designs. |
|
3
|
Vain korvakuulolta sinut tunsin. Nyt ovat silmäni nähneet sinut. |
Who is this who makes dark the purpose of God by words without knowledge? For I have been talking without knowledge about wonders not to be searched out. |
|
4
|
Sen tähden minä häpeän puheitani ja kadun niitä tomussa ja tuhkassa. |
Give ear to me, and I will say what is in my mind; I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers. |
|

|
Temanilainen Elifas, suahilainen Bildad ja naamalainen Sofar tekivät niin kuin Herra oli heitä käskenyt, ja Herra kuuli Jobin rukouksen. |
Word of you had come to my ears, but now my eye has seen you. |
|
6
|
Kun Job oli rukoillut ystäviensä puolesta, Herra käänsi hänen kohtalonsa. Herra antoi Jobille kaksin verroin kaikkea, mitä hänellä oli ennen ollut. |
For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust. |
|

|
Kaikki veljet ja sisaret ja entiset ystävät tulivat Jobin luo ja aterioivat hänen talossaan. He rohkaisivat häntä ja osoittivat hänelle myötätuntoa kaikkien niiden onnettomuuksien vuoksi, joiden Herra oli antanut kohdata häntä. Jokainen toi lahjanaan yhden kesitan verran hopeaa ja yhden kultaisen renkaan. |
And it came about, after he had said these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, I am very angry with you and your two friends, because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has. |
|

|
Niin Herra siunasi Jobin elämän loppuajan vielä runsaammin kuin oli siunannut sen alkuajat. Hänellä oli nyt lampaita ja vuohia neljätoistatuhatta, kuusituhatta kamelia, tuhat kyntöparia härkiä ja tuhat aasintammaa. |
And now, take seven oxen and seven sheep, and go to my servant Job, and give a burned offering for yourselves, and my servant Job will make prayer for you, that I may not send punishment on you; because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has. |

|
Hän sai vielä seitsemän poikaa ja kolme tytärtä. |
And Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as the Lord had said. And the Lord gave ear to Job. |
|
10
|
Yhdelle tyttärelle hän antoi nimeksi Jemima, toiselle Kesia ja kolmannelle Keren-Puk. |
And the Lord made up to Job for all his losses, after he had made prayer for his friends: and all Job had before was increased by the Lord twice as much. |
|
11
|
Eikä koko maassa ollut kauniimpia naisia kuin Jobin tyttäret. Heidän isänsä antoi heillekin perintöosuuden niin kuin heidän veljilleen. |
And all his brothers and sisters, and his friends of earlier days, came and took food with him in his house; and made clear their grief for him, and gave him comfort for all the evil which the Lord had sent on him; and they all gave him a bit of money and a gold ring. |
|
12
|
Job eli näiden tapahtumien jälkeen vielä sataneljäkymmentä vuotta. Hän sai nähdä lapsiaan ja lastensa lapsia aina neljänteen polveen saakka, |
And the Lord's blessing was greater on the end of Job's life than on its start: and so he came to have fourteen thousand sheep and goats, and six thousand camels, and two thousand oxen, and a thousand she-asses. |
|
13
|
ja hän kuoli korkeassa iässä ja elämästä kyllänsä saaneena. |
And he had seven sons and three daughters. |
|
14
|
And he gave the first the name of Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch; |
|
15
|
And there were no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job in all the earth: and their father gave them a heritage among their brothers. |
|
16
|
And after this Job had a hundred and forty years of life, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations. |
|
17
|
And Job came to his end, old and full of days. |
