1Then Job answered the LORD, and said, 2I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.42.2 no thought can be…: or, no thought of thine can be hindered 3Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. 4Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. 5I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee. 6Wherefore 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. 8Therefore 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.42.8 him: Heb. his face, or, person 9So 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.42.9 Job: Heb. the face of Job
10And 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.42.10 gave…: Heb. added all that had been to Job unto the double 11Then 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. 12So 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. 13He had also seven sons and three daughters. 14And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch. 15And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren. 16After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations. 17So Job died, being old and full of days.
1Unya mitubag si Job sa Ginoo, 2“Nahibalo ako nga mahimo mo ang tanan, ug walay makapugong kanimo. 3Gipangutana 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. 4Nakigsulti ka kanako ug miingon ka nga mamati ako kanimo ug tubagon ko ang imong mga pangutana. 5Kaniadto nadungog ko lang sa uban ang bahin kanimo, apan karon nakita ko na gayod ikaw. 6Busa naulaw ako sa tanan kong gisulti bahin kanimo, ug gihinulsolan ko kini pinaagi sa paglingkod sa yuta ug sa abog.”
Ang Kataposan
7Human 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. 8Busa 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.”
9Busa 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.
10Human makaampo si Job alang sa iyang mga higala, gipauswag siya pag-usab sa Ginoo ug gihatagan ug doble sa naangkon niya kaniadto. 11Unya 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.
12Busa 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. 13Gihatagan usab niya kini ug pito ka mga anak nga lalaki ug tulo ka mga anak nga babaye. 14Ang kamagulangan niya nga anak nga babaye mao si Jemina, sunod si Kezia ug unya si Keren Hapuc. 15Walay babaye nga sama kanila katahom sa tibuok nila nga dapit.42:15 sa tibuok nila nga dapit: o, sa tibuok kalibotan. Ug gihatagan sila ni Job ug panulondon sama sa ilang igsoon nga mga lalaki.
16Human niadto, nabuhi pa si Job ug 140 ka tuig, ug nakita pa niya ang iyang mga kaliwat hangtod sa ikaupat nga henerasyon. 17Tigulang na kaayo siya sa dihang namatay siya.
