Job 42
1Entonces respondió Job a Yahvé, y dijo: Then Job, responding to the Lord, said:2“Sé que todo lo puedes; para Ti ningún plan es irrealizable. I know that you are able to do all things, and that no thoughts are hidden from you.3¿Quién es este que imprudentemente oscurece el plan (divino)? (Soy yo); he hablado temerariamente de las maravillas superiores a mí y que yo ignoraba. So, who is it that would disguise a lack of knowledge as counsel? Therefore, I have been speaking foolishly, about things whose measure exceeds my knowledge.4«Escucha, pues, y Yo hablaré; Yo preguntaré, y tú me instruirás.» Listen, and I will speak. I will question you, and you may answer me.5Solo de oídas te conocía; mas ahora te ven mis ojos. By paying attention with the ear, I have heard you, but now my eye sees you.6Por eso me retracto y me arrepiento, envuelto en polvo y ceniza.” Therefore, I find myself reprehensible, and I will do penance in embers and ashes.7Después que Yahvé hubo dicho estas palabras a Job, dijo a Elifaz temanita: “Estoy irritado contra ti y contra tus dos amigos, porque no habéis hablado de Mí rectamente, como mi siervo Job. But after the Lord had finished speaking these words to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Themanite: My wrath has been kindled against you, and against your two friends, because you have not been speaking correctly in my eyes, as my servant Job has done.8Ahora tomad siete becerros y siete carneros, e id a mi siervo Job, y ofreced por vosotros un holocausto. Mi siervo Job orará por vosotros, y Yo aceptaré su intercesión, de modo que no os haré mal por no haber hablado de Mí rectamente como mi siervo Job. Therefore, have seven bulls and seven rams brought to you, and go to my servant Job, and offer these as a holocaust for yourselves. But also, my servant Job will pray for you; I will accept his face, so that foolishness will not be imputed to you. For you have not been speaking correctly about me, as my servant Job has done.9Fueron, pues, Elifaz temanita, Bildad suhita y Sofar naamatita, e hicieron como Yahvé les había mandado. Y Yahvé aceptó los ruegos de Job. So Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Zophar the Naamathite departed, and they did just as the Lord had spoken to them, and the Lord accepted the face of Job.10Después Yahvé restableció a Job en su primer estado, mientras este oraba por sus amigos; y Yahvé dio a Job el doble de todo cuanto había poseído. Likewise, the Lord was moved by the repentance of Job, when he prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave to Job twice as much as he had before.11Le visitaron también todos sus hermanos y todas sus hermanas, y sus antiguos amigos, y comieron con él en su casa. Se condolieron con él, y le consolaron por todos los males que Yahvé le había enviado, dándole cada uno una kesita y un anillo de oro. Yet all his brethren came to him, and all his sisters, and everyone who had known him before, and they ate bread with him in his house. They also shook their heads over him and comforted him, because of all the bad things that God had inflicted on him. And each one of them gave him one female sheep, and one earring of gold.12Yahvé bendijo los postreros tiempos de Job más que los primeros, y llegó a tener catorce mil ovejas, seis mil camellos, mil yuntas de bueyes y mil asnas. And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job even more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand pairs of oxen, and a thousand she-donkeys.13Tuvo también siete hijos y tres hijas. And he had seven sons and three daughters.14A la primera le puso por nombre Jemimá, y a la segunda Kesiá, y a la tercera Keren Happuk. And he called the name of one, Daylight, and the name of the second, Cinnamon, and the name of the third, Horn of Cosmetics.15No se hallaron en toda aquella tierra mujeres tan hermosas como las hijas de Job; y les dio su padre herencia entre sus hermanos. And, in the whole world, there were not found women so beautiful as the daughters of Job. And so their father gave them an inheritance along with their brothers.16Job vivió después de esto ciento cuarenta años; y vio a sus hijos y a los hijos de sus hijos hasta la cuarta generación. Y murió Job anciano y colmado de días. But Job lived long after these events, for a hundred and forty years, and he saw his children, and his children’s children, all the way to the fourth generation, and he died an old man and full of days.
