¹Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

¹Vtedy odpovedal Job Hospodinovi a riekol:

²I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.

²Viem, že môžeš všetko, a že ti nemôže byť prekazený niktorý úmysel.

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.

³Že kto je to, kto zahaľuje radu bez známosti? Preto vyznávam, že nerozumiem. Sú to predivné veci, nad môj rozum; a neznám toho.

⁴Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

⁴Počuj, prosím, a ja budem hovoriť; budem sa ťa pýtať, a ty mi oznám!

⁵I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.

⁵Doteraz som bol iba počul o tebe; ale teraz ťa vidí moje oko.

⁶Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.

⁶Preto zavrhujem a ľutujem, a to v prachu a v popole.

⁷And 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.

⁷A stalo sa, keď už bol hovoril Hospodin Jobovi tie slová, že riekol Hospodin Elifazovi Témanskému: Môj hnev horí proti tebe i proti tvojim dvom priateľom, pretože ste nehovorili o mne toho, čo je pravé, jako môj služobník Job.

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.

⁸A tak teraz si vezmite sedem juncov a sedem baranov a iďte k môjmu služobníkovi Jobovi a obetujte zápalnú obeť za seba, a môj služobník Job sa bude modliť za vás; lebo len jeho tvár prijmem, aby som vám neučinil zlého, lebo nehovorili ste o mne toho, čo je pravé, jako môj služobník Job.

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.

⁹A tak išli, Elifaz Témanský, Bildad Šuchský a Cófar Naamatský, a učinili tak, ako im hovoril Hospodin, a Hospodin prijal tvár Jobovu.

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.

¹⁰A Hospodin navrátil to, čo bolo odňaté Jobovi, keď sa modlil za svojho priateľa. A Hospodin pridal všetkého toho, čo mal Job, dvojnásobne.

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.

¹¹A tak prišli k nemu všetci jeho bratia a všetky jeho sestry jako i všetci, ktorí ho znali pred tým, a jedli s ním chlieb v jeho dome a mali s ním sústrasť a tešili ho nad všetkým tým zlým, ktoré bol Hospodin uviedol na neho. A dali mu každý jednu kesítu peňazí a každý jednu zlatú obrúčku.

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.

¹²A Hospodin požehnal posledok života Jobovho, viac ako bol požehnal jeho počiatok. A mal štrnásť tisíc kusov drobného stáda, a šesť tisíc veľblúdov, tisíc párov volov a tisíc oslíc.

¹³He had also seven sons and three daughters.

¹³A mal sedem synov a tri dcéry,

¹⁴And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.

¹⁴z ktorých prvú pomenoval Jemina a druhú pomenoval voňavá Kassia a tretiu pomenoval Kérenhappuch.

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.

¹⁵A nenašlo sa takých krásnych žien, ako boly dcéry Jobove v celej zemi. A ich otec im dal dedičstvo medzi ich bratmi.

¹⁶After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.

¹⁶A Job žil potom sto štyridsať rokov a videl svojich synov a synov svojich synov, štyri pokolenia.

¹⁷So Job died, being old and full of days.

¹⁷A tak zomrel Job súc starý a sýty dňov.
