¹Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

¹Nato odgovori Job GOSPODU in reče:

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

²Spoznavam, da moreš vse in da ni mogoče zabraniti nobene namere tvoje.

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.

³Kdo je, ki zagrinja Božje sklepe brez spoznanja? Zato sem govoril, česar nisem razumel, kar je prečudovito zame, česar nisem spoznal.

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

⁴Čuj, prosim, in bom govoril, jaz te bom vprašal, in ti me pouči!

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

⁵Le s sluhom ušesa sem slišal o tebi, a sedaj te oko moje vidi.

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

⁶Zato zaničujem sebe in kesam se v prahu in pepelu!

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.

⁷In zgodi se, ko je bil GOSPOD govoril te besede Jobu, da veli GOSPOD Elifazu Temančanu: Srd moj je razvnet zoper tebe in zoper oba prijatelja tvoja, ker niste govorili o meni pravega kakor hlapec moj 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.

⁸In sedaj si vzemite sedem juncev in sedem ovnov in pojdite k hlapcu mojemu Jobu in darujte žgalno daritev za sebe. Job pa, hlapec moj, naj prosi za vas, zakaj nanj se milostno ozrem, da ne bom z vami ravnal po nespameti vaši, ker niste govorili o meni pravega kakor hlapec moj 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.

⁹Tedaj so šli Elifaz Temančan in Bildad Šuhec in Zofar Naamatec in so storili, kakor jim je velel GOSPOD; in GOSPOD se je milostno ozrl na Joba.

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.

¹⁰In GOSPOD je obrnil ujetništvo Jobovo, ko je prosil za prijatelje svoje; in GOSPOD je dvojno pomnožil vse, kar je prej imel Job.

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.

¹¹Tedaj so prišli k njemu vsi bratje njegovi in vse sestre njegove in vsi prejšnji znanci njegovi in so jedli ž njim kruh v hiši njegovi ter ga milovali in tolažili zaradi vse nesreče, ki jo je bil nadenj dopustil GOSPOD, in vsak mu je dal zlatnik in zlat uhan.

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.

¹²In GOSPOD je blagoslovil poslednje življenje Jobovo bolj nego prejšnje: dobil je štirinajst tisoč glav drobnice in šest tisoč velblodov in tisoč jarmov volov in tisoč oslic.

¹³He had also seven sons and three daughters.

¹³Dobil je tudi sedem sinov in tri hčere.

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

¹⁴In prvo je imenoval Golobico, drugo pa Dišavko in tretjo Lepotico.

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.

¹⁵In takih lepih devojk, kakor so bile hčere Jobove, ni bilo najti po vsej deželi. In njih oče jim je dal dediščino sredi njih bratov.

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

¹⁶Job pa je živel potem sto in štirideset let in videl je otroke svoje in svojih otrok otroke, štiri pokolenja.In Job je umrl, star in dni svojih sit.

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

¹⁷In Job je umrl, star in dni svojih sit.
