約伯記 Job

42:1	[hb5]	約伯回答耶和華說、
	[bbe]	And Job said in answer to the Lord,
42:2	[hb5]	我知道你萬事都能作、你的旨意不能攔阻。
	[bbe]	I see that you are able to do every thing, and to give effect to all your designs.
42:3	[hb5]	誰用無知的言語、使你的旨意隱藏呢。我所說的、是我不明白的．這些事太奇妙、是我不知道的。
	[bbe]	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.
42:4	[hb5]	求你聽我、我要說話．我問你、求你指示我。
	[bbe]	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.
42:5	[hb5]	我從前風聞有你、現在親眼看見你。
	[bbe]	Word of you had come to my ears, but now my eye has seen you.
42:6	[hb5]	因此我厭惡自己、〔自己或作我的言語〕在塵土和爐灰中懊悔。
	[bbe]	For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.
42:7	[hb5]	耶和華對約伯說話以後、就對提幔人以利法說、我的怒氣向你、和你兩個朋友發作．因為你們議論我、不如我的僕人約伯說的是。
	[bbe]	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.
42:8	[hb5]	現在你們要取七隻公牛、七隻公羊、到我僕人約伯那裡去、為自己獻上燔祭．我的僕人約伯就為你們祈禱．我因悅納他、就不按你們的愚妄辦你們．你們議論我、不如我的僕人約伯說的是。
	[bbe]	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.
42:9	[hb5]	於是提幔人以利法、書亞人比勒達、拿瑪人瑣法、照著耶和華所吩咐的去行、耶和華就悅納約伯。
	[bbe]	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.
42:10	[hb5]	約伯為他的朋友祈禱、耶和華就使約伯從苦境轉回、〔苦境原文作擄掠〕並且耶和華賜給他的、比他從前所有的加倍。
	[bbe]	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.
42:11	[hb5]	約伯的弟兄、姐妹、和以先所認識的人都來見他、在他家裡一同喫飯．又論到耶和華所降與他的一切災禍．都為他悲傷安慰他．每人也送他一塊銀子、和一個金環。
	[bbe]	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.
42:12	[hb5]	這樣、耶和華後來賜福給約伯、比先前更多．他有一萬四千羊、六千駱駝、一千對牛、一千母驢。
	[bbe]	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.
42:13	[hb5]	他也有七個兒子、三個女兒。
	[bbe]	And he had seven sons and three daughters.
42:14	[hb5]	他給長女起名叫耶米瑪．次女叫基洗亞．三女叫基連哈樸。
	[bbe]	And he gave the first the name of Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch;
42:15	[hb5]	在那全地的婦女中、找不著像約伯的女兒那樣美貌．他們的父親使他們在弟兄中得產業。
	[bbe]	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.
42:16	[hb5]	此後、約伯又活了一百四十年、得見他的兒孫、直到四代。
	[bbe]	And after this Job had a hundred and forty years of life, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
42:17	[hb5]	這樣、約伯年紀老邁、日子滿足而死。
	[bbe]	And Job came to his end, old and full of days.
