1 Respondens autem Iob Domino dixit:
1 Then Job, responding to the Lord, said:
2 “ Scio quia omnia potes,
et nulla te latet cogitatio.
2 I know that you are able to do all things, and that no thoughts are hidden from you.
3 Quis est iste, qui celat consilium
absque scientia?
Ideo insipienter locutus sum
et mirabilia, quae excederent scientiam meam.
3 So, who is it that would disguise a lack of knowledge as counsel? Therefore, I have been speaking foolishly, about things whose measure exceeds my knowledge.
4 Audi, et ego loquar;
interrogabo te, et responde mihi.
4 Listen, and I will speak. I will question you, and you may answer me.
5 Auditu auris audivi te;
nunc autem oculus meus videt te.
5 By paying attention with the ear, I have heard you, but now my eye sees you.
6 Idcirco ipse me reprehendo
et ago paenitentiam in favilla et cinere ”.
6 Therefore, I find myself reprehensible, and I will do penance in embers and ashes.
7 Postquam autem locutus est Dominus verba haec ad Iob, dixit ad EliphazThemanitem: “ Iratus est furor meus in te et in duos amicos tuos, quoniam nonestis locuti coram me rectum sicut servus meus Iob.7 But after the Lord had finished speaking these words to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Themanite: My wrath has been kindled against you, and against your two friends, because you have not been speaking correctly in my eyes, as my servant Job has done.
8 Sumite ergo vobis septemtauros et septem arietes et ite ad servum meum Iob et offerte holocaustum provobis; Iob autem servus meus orabit pro vobis. Faciem eius suscipiam, ut nonvobis imputetur stultitia; neque enim locuti estis ad me recta sicut servus meusIob ”.8 Therefore, have seven bulls and seven rams brought to you, and go to my servant Job, and offer these as a holocaust for yourselves. But also, my servant Job will pray for you; I will accept his face, so that foolishness will not be imputed to you. For you have not been speaking correctly about me, as my servant Job has done.
9 Abierunt ergo Eliphaz Themanites et Baldad Suhites et SopharNaamathites et fecerunt, sicut locutus fuerat Dominus ad eos, et suscepitDominus faciem Iob.
9 So Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Zophar the Naamathite departed, and they did just as the Lord had spoken to them, and the Lord accepted the face of Job.
10 Dominus vertit sortem Iob, cum oraret ille pro amicis suis; et addiditDominus omnia, quaecumque fuerant Iob, duplicia.10 Likewise, the Lord was moved by the repentance of Job, when he prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave to Job twice as much as he had before.
11 Venerunt autem ad eum omnesfratres sui et universae sorores suae et cuncti, qui noverant eum prius; etcomederunt cum eo panem in domo eius et moverunt super eum caput et consolatisunt eum super omni malo, quod intulerat Dominus super eum; et dederunt eiunusquisque argenteum unum et inaurem auream unam.
11 Yet all his brethren came to him, and all his sisters, and everyone who had known him before, and they ate bread with him in his house. They also shook their heads over him and comforted him, because of all the bad things that God had inflicted on him. And each one of them gave him one female sheep, and one earring of gold.
12 Dominus autem benedixit novissimis Iob magis quam principio eius; et factasunt ei quattuordecim milia ovium et sex milia camelorum et mille iuga boum etmille asinae.12 And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job even more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand pairs of oxen, and a thousand she-donkeys.
13 Et fuerunt ei septem filii et tres filiae;13 And he had seven sons and three daughters.
14 et vocavit nomenunius Columbam et nomen secundae Cassiam et nomen tertiae Cornustibii.14 And he called the name of one, Daylight, and the name of the second, Cinnamon, and the name of the third, Horn of Cosmetics.
15 Nonsunt autem inventae mulieres speciosae sicut filiae Iob in universa terra;deditque eis pater suus hereditatem inter fratres earum.15 And, in the whole world, there were not found women so beautiful as the daughters of Job. And so their father gave them an inheritance along with their brothers.
16 Vixit autem Iob posthaec centum quadraginta annis et vidit filios suos et filios filiorum suorumusque ad quartam generationem; et mortuus est senex et plenus dierum.
16 But Job lived long after these events, for a hundred and forty years, and he saw his children, and his children’s children, all the way to the fourth generation, and he died an old man and full of days.
