¹Nato odgovori Job GOSPODU in reče:

¹Then Job answered Yahweh,

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

¹³Dobil je tudi sedem sinov in tri hčere.

¹³He had also seven sons and three daughters.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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