Job 42

Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ الرَّبَّ فَقَالَ:

I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.

«قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ تَسْتَطِيعُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، وَلاَ يَعْسُرُ عَلَيْكَ أَمْرٌ.

Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يُخْفِي الْقَضَاءَ بِلاَ مَعْرِفَةٍ؟ وَلكِنِّي قَدْ نَطَقْتُ بِمَا لَمْ أَفْهَمْ. بِعَجَائِبَ فَوْقِي لَمْ أَعْرِفْهَا.

Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

اِسْمَعِ الآنَ وَأَنَا أَتَكَلَّمُ. أَسْأَلُكَ فَتُعَلِّمُنِي.

I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.

بِسَمْعِ الأُذُنِ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ عَنْكَ، وَالآنَ رَأَتْكَ عَيْنِي.

Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.

لِذلِكَ أَرْفُضُ وَأَنْدَمُ فِي التُّرَابِ وَالرَّمَادِ».

And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

وَكَانَ بَعْدَمَا تَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ مَعَ أَيُّوبَ بِهذَا الْكَلاَمِ، أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَالَ لأَلِيفَازَ التَّيْمَانِيِّ: «قَدِ احْتَمَى غَضَبِي عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى كِلاَ صَاحِبَيْكَ، لأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَقُولُوا فِيَّ الصَّوَابَ كَعَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ.

Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks 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 him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.

وَالآنَ فَخُذُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ سَبْعَةَ ثِيرَانٍ وَسَبْعَةَ كِبَاشٍ وَاذْهَبُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ، وَأَصْعِدُوا مُحْرَقَةً لأَجْلِ أَنْفُسِكُمْ، وَعَبْدِي أَيُّوبُ يُصَلِّي مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، لأَنِّي أَرْفَعُ وَجْهَهُ لِئَلاَّ أَصْنَعَ مَعَكُمْ حَسَبَ حَمَاقَتِكُمْ، لأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَقُولُوا فِيَّ الصَّوَابَ كَعَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ».

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.

فَذَهَبَ أَلِيفَازُ التَّيْمَانِيُّ وَبِلْدَدُ الشُّوحِيُّ وَصُوفَرُ النَّعْمَاتِيُّ، وَفَعَلُوا كَمَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ لَهُمْ. وَرَفَعَ الرَّبُّ وَجْهَ أَيُّوبَ.

And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

وَرَدَّ الرَّبُّ سَبْيَ أَيُّوبَ لَمَّا صَلَّى لأَجْلِ أَصْحَابِهِ، وَزَادَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى كُلِّ مَا كَانَ لأَيُّوبَ ضِعْفًا.

Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.

فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ كُلُّ إِخْوَتِهِ وَكُلُّ أَخَوَاتِهِ وَكُلُّ مَعَارِفِهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ، وَأَكَلُوا مَعَهُ خُبْزًا فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَرَثَوْا لَهُ وَعَزَّوْهُ عَنْ كُلِّ الشَّرِّ الَّذِي جَلَبَهُ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَعْطَاهُ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمْ قَسِيطَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ قُرْطًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.

وَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ آخِرَةَ أَيُّوبَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أُولاَهُ. وَكَانَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا مِنَ الْغَنَمِ، وَسِتَّةُ آلاَفٍ مِنَ الإِبِلِ، وَأَلْفُ فَدَّانٍ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ، وَأَلْفُ أَتَانٍ.

He had also seven sons and three daughters.

وَكَانَ لَهُ سَبْعَةُ بَنِينَ وَثَلاَثُ بَنَاتٍ.

And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren–happuch.

وَسَمَّى اسْمَ الأُولَى يَمِيمَةَ، وَاسْمَ الثَّانِيَةِ قَصِيعَةَ، وَاسْمَ الثَّالِثَةِ قَرْنَ هَفُّوكَ.

And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.

وَلَمْ تُوجَدْ نِسَاءٌ جَمِيلاَتٌ كَبَنَاتِ أَيُّوبَ فِي كُلِّ الأَرْضِ، وَأَعْطَاهُنَّ أَبُوهُنَّ مِيرَاثًا بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِهِنَّ.

After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.

وَعَاشَ أَيُّوبُ بَعْدَ هذَا مِئَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، وَرَأَى بَنِيهِ وَبَنِي بَنِيهِ إِلَى أَرْبَعَةِ أَجْيَال.

So Job died, being old and full of days.

ثُمَّ مَاتَ أَيُّوبُ شَيْخًا وَشَبْعَانَ الأَيَّامِ.
