¹Vtedy odpovedal Job Hospodinovi a riekol:

¹Then Job answered Yahweh,

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

¹³A mal sedem synov a tri dcéry,

¹³He had also seven sons and three daughters.

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁷A tak zomrel Job súc starý a sýty dňov.

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