Job 42

vayya'an iyyov et-Adonai vayyomar

Job said in reply to GOD:

(ydt) [yadati] ki-khol tukhal velo-yibbatser mimmekha mezimmah

I know that You can do everything, That nothing You propose is impossible for You.

mi zeh malim etsah beli-da'at lakhen higgadti velo avin nifla'ot mimmenni velo eda

Who is this who obscures counsel without knowledge? Indeed, I spoke without understanding Of things beyond me, which I did not know.

shema-na ve'anokhi adabber eshalekha vehodi'eni

Hear now, and I will speak; I will ask, and You will inform me.

leshema-ozen shematikha ve'attah eni ra'atekha

I had heard You with my ears, But now I see You with my eyes;

al-ken emas venikhamti al-afar va'efer

Therefore, I recant and relent, Being but dust and ashes.

vayehi akhar dibber Adonai et-haddevarim ha'elleh el-iyyov vayyomer Adonai el-elifaz hattemani kharah appi vekha uvishne re'ekha ki lo dibbartem elay nekhonah ke'avdi iyyov

After GOD had spoken these words to Job, GOD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am incensed at you and your two friends, for you have not spoken the truth about Me as did My servant Job.

ve'attah qekhu-lakhem shivah-farim veshivah elim ulekhu el-avdi iyyov veha'alitem olah ba'adkhem ve'iyyov avdi yitpallel alekhem ki im-panayw essa levilti asot immakhem nevalah ki lo dibbartem elay nekhonah ke'avdi iyyov

Now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to My servant Job and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. And let Job, My servant, pray for you; for to him I will show favor and not treat you vilely, since you have not spoken the truth about Me as did My servant Job.”

vayyelekhu elifaz hattemani uvildad hashukhi tsofar hanna'amati vayya'asu ka'asher dibber alehem Adonai vayyissa Adonai et-pene iyyov

Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as GOD had told them, and GOD showed favor to Job.

va-Adonai shav et-[shevut] (shvyt) iyyov behitpallo be'ad re'ehu vayyosef Adonai et-kol-asher le'iyyov lemishneh

GOD restored Job’s fortunes when he prayed on behalf of his friends, and GOD gave Job twice what he had before.

vayyavo'u elayw kol-ekhayw vekhol-akhyotayw vekhol-yode'ayw lefanim vayyokhelu immo lekhem beveto vayyanudu lo vayenakhamu oto al kol-hara'ah asher-hevi Adonai alayw vayyittenu-lo ish qesitah ekhat ve'ish nezem zahav ekhad

All his brothers and sisters and all his former friends came to him and had a meal with him in his house. They consoled and comforted him for all the misfortune that GOD had brought upon him. Each gave him one kesitah and each one gold ring.

va-Adonai berakh et-akharit iyyov mereshito vayehi-lo arba'ah asar elef tson vesheshet alafim gemallim ve'elef-tsemed baqar ve'elef atonot

Thus GOD blessed the latter years of Job’s life more than the former. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand jennies.

vayehi-lo shivanah vanim veshalosh banot

He also had seven sons and three daughters.

vayyiqra shem-ha'akhat yemimah veshem hashenit qetsi'ah veshem hashelishit qeren happukh

The first he named Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch.

velo nimtsa nashim yafot kivnot iyyov bekhol-ha'arets vayyitten lahem avihem nakhalah betokh akhehem

Nowhere in the land were women as beautiful as Job’s daughters to be found. Their father gave them estates together with their brothers.

vayekhi iyyov akhare-zot me'ah ve'arba'im shanah (vyr) [vayyireh] et-banayw ve'et-bene vanayw arba'ah dorot

Afterward, Job lived one hundred and forty years to see four generations of children and grandchildren.

vayyamot iyyov zaqen useva yamim

So Job died old and contented.
