1 וַיַּעַן אִיֹּוב אֶת־יְהוָה וַיֹּאמַר | 1 Then Job answered the Lord, and said : |
2 [יָדַעְתָּ כ] (יָדַעְתִּי ק) כִּי־כֹל תּוּכָל וְלֹא־יִבָּצֵר מִמְּךָ מְזִמָּה | 2 I know that thou canst do all things, and no thought is hid from thee. |
3 מִי זֶה ׀ מַעְלִים עֵצָה בְּלִי דָעַת לָכֵן הִגַּדְתִּי וְלֹא אָבִין נִפְלָאֹות מִמֶּנִּי וְלֹא אֵדָע | 3 Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have spoken unwisely, and things that above measure exceeded my knowledge. |
4 שְׁמַע־נָא וְאָנֹכִי אֲדַבֵּר אֶשְׁאָלְךָ וְהֹודִיעֵנִי | 4 Hear, and I will speak : I will ask thee, and do thou tell me. |
5 לְשֵׁמַע־אֹזֶן שְׁמַעְתִּיךָ וְעַתָּה עֵינִי רָאָתְךָ | 5 With the hearing of the ear, I have heard thee, but now my eye seeth thee. |
6 עַל־כֵּן אֶמְאַס וְנִחַמְתִּי עַל־עָפָר וָאֵפֶר׃ פ | 6 Therefore I reprehend myself, and do penance in dust and ashes. |
7 וַיְהִי אַחַר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה אֶל־אִיֹּוב וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־אֱלִיפַז הַתֵּימָנִי חָרָה אַפִּי בְךָ וּבִשְׁנֵי רֵעֶיךָ כִּי לֹא דִבַּרְתֶּם אֵלַי נְכֹונָה כְּעַבְדִּי אִיֹּוב | 7 And after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Themanite : My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends, because you have not spoken the thing that is right before my, as my servant Job hath. |
8 וְעַתָּה קְחוּ־לָכֶם שִׁבְעָה־פָרִים וְשִׁבְעָה אֵילִים וּלְכוּ ׀ אֶל־עַבְדִּי אִיֹּוב וְהַעֲלִיתֶם עֹולָה בַּעַדְכֶם וְאִיֹּוב עַבְדִּי יִתְפַּלֵּל עֲלֵיכֶם כִּי אִם־פָּנָיו אֶשָּׂא לְבִלְתִּי עֲשֹׂות עִמָּכֶם נְבָלָה כִּי לֹא דִבַּרְתֶּם אֵלַי נְכֹונָה כְּעַבְדִּי אִיֹּוב | 8 Take unto you therefore seven oxen, and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer for yourselves a holocaust : and my servant Job shall pray for you : his face I will accept, that folly be not imputed to you : for you have not spoken right things before me, as my servant Job hath. |
9 וַיֵּלְכוּ אֱלִיפַז הַתֵּימָנִי וּבִלְדַּד הַשּׁוּחִי צֹפַר הַנַּעֲמָתִי וַיַּעֲשׂוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר אֲלֵיהֶם יְהוָה וַיִּשָּׂא יְהוָה אֶת־פְּנֵי אִיֹּוב | 9 So Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Sophar the Naamathite went, and did as the Lord had spoken to them, and the Lord accepted the face of Job. |
10 וַיהוָה ב אֶת־ [שְׁבִית כ] (שְׁבוּת ק) אִיֹּוב בְּהִתְפַּלְלֹו בְּעַד רֵעֵהוּ וַיֹּסֶף יְהוָה אֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר לְאִיֹּוב לְמִשְׁנֶה | 10 The Lord also was turned at the penance of Job, when he prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. |
11 וַיָּבֹאוּ אֵלָיו כָּל־אֶחָיו וְכָל־ [אַחְיֹתָיו כ] (אַחְיֹותָיו ק) וְכָל־יֹדְעָיו לְפָנִים וַיֹּאכְלוּ עִמֹּו לֶחֶם בְּבֵיתֹו וַיָּנֻדוּ לֹו וַיְנַחֲמוּ אֹתֹו עַל כָּל־הָרָעָה אֲשֶׁר־הֵבִיא יְהוָה עָלָיו וַיִּתְּנוּ־לֹו אִישׁ קְשִׂיטָה אֶחָת וְאִישׁ נֶזֶם זָהָב אֶחָד׃ ס | 11 And all his brethren came to him, and all his sisters, and all that knew him before, and they ate bread with him in his house : and bemoaned him, and comforted him upon all the evil that God had brought upon him. And every man gave him one ewe, and one earring of fold. |
12 וַיהוָה בֵּרַךְ אֶת־אַחֲרִית אִיֹּוב מֵרֵאשִׁתֹו וַיְהִי־לֹו אַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר אֶלֶף צֹאן וְשֵׁשֶׁת אֲלָפִים גְּמַלִּים וְאֶלֶף־צֶמֶד בָּקָר וְאֶלֶף אֲתֹונֹות | 12 And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. |
13 וַיְהִי־לֹו שִׁבְעָנָה בָנִים וְשָׁלֹושׁ בָּנֹות | 13 And he had seven sons, and three daughters. |
14 וַיִּקְרָא שֵׁם־הָאַחַת יְמִימָה וְשֵׁם הַשֵּׁנִית קְצִיעָה וְשֵׁם הַשְּׁלִישִׁית קֶרֶן הַפּוּךְ | 14 And he called the names of one Dies, and the name of the second Cassia, and the name of the third Cornustibil. |
15 וְלֹא נִמְצָא נָשִׁים יָפֹות כִּבְנֹות אִיֹּוב בְּכָל־הָאָרֶץ וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם אֲבִיהֶם נַחֲלָה בְּתֹוךְ אֲחֵיהֶם׃ ס | 15 And there were not found in all the earth women so beautiful as the daughters of Job : and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren. |
16 וַיְחִי אִיֹּוב אַחֲרֵי־זֹאת מֵאָה וְאַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה [וַיַּרְא כ] (וַיִּרְאֶה ק) אֶת־בָּנָיו וְאֶת־בְּנֵי בָנָיו אַרְבָּעָה דֹּרֹות | 16 And Job lived after these things, a hundred and forty years, and he saw his children, and his children's children, unto the fourth generation, and he died an old man, and full of days. |
17 וַיָּמָת אִיֹּוב זָקֵן וּשְׂבַע יָמִים | |
