JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Respondens autem Job Domino, dixit:
1Then Job answered the LORD, and said:
2[Scio quia omnia potes, et nulla te latet cogitatio.
2I know that Thou canst do every thing, and that no purpose can be withholden from Thee.
3Quis est iste qui celat consilium absque scientia? ideo insipienter locutus sum, et quæ ultra modum excederent scientiam meam.
3Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that which I understood not, things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4Audi, et ego loquar: interrogabo te, et responde mihi.
4Hear, I beseech Thee, and I will speak; I will demand of Thee, and declare Thou unto me.
5Auditu auris audivi te: nunc autem oculus meus videt te.
5I had heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear; but now mine eye seeth Thee;
6Idcirco ipse me reprehendo, et ago pœnitentiam in favilla et cinere.]
6Wherefore I abhor my words, and repent, seeing I am dust and ashes.
7Postquam autem locutus est Dominus verba hæc ad Job, dixit ad Eliphaz Themanitem: Iratus est furor meus in te, et in duos amicos tuos, quoniam non estis locuti coram me rectum, sicut servus meus Job.
7And 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.
8Sumite ergo vobis septem tauros et septem arietes, et ite ad servum meum Job, et offerte holocaustum pro vobis: Job autem servus meus orabit pro vobis. Faciem ejus suscipiam, ut non vobis imputetur stultitia: neque enim locuti estis ad me recta, sicut servus meus Job.
8Now therefore, take unto you 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, that I do not unto you aught unseemly; for ye have not spoken of Me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.'
9Abierunt ergo Eliphaz Themanites, et Baldad Suhites, et Sophar Naamathites, et fecerunt sicut locutus fuerat Dominus ad eos: et suscepit Dominus faciem Job.
9So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them; and the LORD accepted Job.
10Dominus quoque conversus est ad pœnitentiam Job, cum oraret ille pro amicis suis: et addidit Dominus omnia quæcumque fuerant Job, duplicia.
10And the LORD changed the fortune of Job, when he prayed for his friends; and the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11Venerunt autem ad eum omnes fratres sui, et universæ sorores suæ, et cuncti qui noverant eum prius, et comederunt cum eo panem in domo ejus: et moverunt super eum caput, et consolati sunt eum super omni malo quod intulerat Dominus super eum: et dederunt ei unusquisque ovem unam, et inaurem auream unam.
11Then 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 concerning all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him; every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one a ring of gold.
12Dominus autem benedixit novissimis Job magis quam principio ejus: et facta sunt ei quatuordecim millia ovium, et sex millia camelorum, et mille juga boum, et mille asinæ.
12So 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.
13Et fuerunt ei septem filii, et tres filiæ.
13He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14Et vocavit nomen unius Diem, et nomen secundæ Cassiam, et nomen tertiæ Cornustibii.
14And he called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
15Non sunt autem inventæ mulieres speciosæ sicut filiæ Job in universa terra: deditque eis pater suus hæreditatem inter fratres earum.
15And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
16Vixit autem Job post hæc centum quadraginta annis, et vidit filios suos, et filios filiorum suorum usque ad quartam generationem: et mortuus est senex, et plenus dierum.
16And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
