¹فاجاب ايوب الرب فقال

¹Then Job answered Yahweh,

²قد علمت انك تستطيع كل شيء ولا يعسر عليك أمر.

²“I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.

³فمن ذا الذي يخفي القضاء بلا معرفة. ولكني قد نطقت بما لم افهم. بعجائب فوقي لم اعرفها.

³You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know.

⁴اسمع الآن وانا اتكلم. اسألك فتعلمني.

⁴You said, ‘Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.’

⁵بسمع الاذن قد سمعت عنك والآن رأتك عيني.

⁵I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.

⁶لذلك ارفض واندم في التراب والرماد

⁶Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”

⁷وكان بعدما تكلم الرب مع ايوب بهذا الكلام ان الرب قال لأليفاز التيماني قد احتمى غضبي عليك وعلى كلا صاحبيك لانكم لم تقولوا فيّ الصواب كعبدي ايوب.

⁷It was so, that after Yahweh had spoken these words to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

⁸والآن فخذوا لانفسكم سبعة ثيران وسبعة كباش واذهبوا الى عبدي ايوب واصعدوا محرقة لاجل انفسكم وعبدي ايوب يصلي من اجلكم لاني ارفع وجهه لئلا اصنع معكم حسب حماقتكم لانكم لم تقولوا فيّ الصواب كعبدي ايوب.

⁸Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls 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 I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.”

⁹فذهب اليفاز التيماني وبلدد الشوحي وصوفر النعماتي وفعلوا كما قال الرب لهم ورفع الرب وجه ايوب.

⁹So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did what Yahweh commanded them, and Yahweh accepted Job.

¹⁰ورد الرب سبي ايوب لما صلى لاجل اصحابه وزاد الرب على كل ما كان لايوب ضعفا.

¹⁰Yahweh turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends. Yahweh gave Job twice as much as he had before.

¹¹فجاء اليه كل اخوته وكل اخواته وكل معارفه من قبل وأكلوا معه خبزا في بيته ورثوا له وعزّوه عن كل الشر الذي جلبه الرب عليه واعطاه كل منهم قسيطة واحدة وكل واحد قرطا من ذهب.

¹¹Then came there to him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that Yahweh had brought on him. Everyone also gave him a piece of money, literally, kesitah, a unit of money, probably silver and everyone a ring of gold.

¹²وبارك الرب آخرة ايوب اكثر من اولاه وكان له اربعة عشر الفا من الغنم وستة آلاف من الابل والف فدان من البقر والف اتان.

¹²So Yahweh blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.

¹³وكان له سبعة بنين وثلاث بنات.

¹³He had also seven sons and three daughters.

¹⁴وسمّى اسم الاولى يميمة واسم الثانية قصيعة واسم الثالثة قرن هفّوك.

¹⁴He called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren Happuch.

¹⁵ولم توجد نساء جميلات كبنات ايوب في كل الارض واعطاهنّ ابوهنّ ميراثا بين اخوتهنّ.

¹⁵In all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job. Their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.

¹⁶وعاش ايوب بعد هذا مئة واربعين سنة ورأى بنيه وبني بنيه الى اربعة اجيال.

¹⁶After this Job lived one hundred forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, to four generations.

¹⁷ثم مات ايوب شيخا وشبعان الايام

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