Job 42
La Bible Crampon 1923
1Job répondit à Yahweh et dit :
2Je sais que tu peux tout, et que pour toi aucun dessein n'est trop difficile.
3« Quel est celui qui obscurcit le plan divin, sans savoir ? » Oui, j'ai parlé sans intelligence de merveilles qui me dépassent et que j'ignore.
4« Ecoute-moi, je vais parler ; je t'interrogerai, réponds-moi. »
5Mon oreille avait entendu parler de toi ; mais maintenant mon œil t'a vu.
6C'est pourquoi je me condamne et me repens, sur la poussière et sur la cendre.
7Après que Yahweh eut adressé ces paroles à Job, il dit à Eliphaz de Théman : « Ma colère est allumée contre toi et contre tes deux amis, parce que vous n'avez pas parlé de moi selon la vérité, comme l'a fait mon serviteur Job.
8Maintenant, prenez sept jeunes taureaux et sept béliers ; puis venez trouver mon serviteur Job, et offrez pour vous un holocauste. Job, mon serviteur, priera pour vous, et c'est par égard pour lui que je ne vous traiterai point selon votre folie ; car vous n'avez pas parlé de moi selon la vérité, comme l'a fait mon serviteur Job. »
9Eliphaz de Théman, Baldad de Suhé et Sophar de Naaman allèrent donc et firent comme Yahweh leur avait dit ; et Yahweh eut égard à la prière de Job.
10Yahweh rétablit Job dans son premier état, pendant que Job intercédait pour ses amis, et Yahweh rendit à Job le double de tous ses biens.
11Ses frères, ses sœurs et ses anciens amis vinrent tous le visiter et mangèrent avec lui dans sa maison. Ils le plaignirent et le consolèrent de tous les malheurs que Yahweh avait fait venir sur lui ; et ils lui firent don chacun d'une késita et d'un anneau d'or.
12Et Yahweh bénit les derniers temps de Job plus encore que les premiers, et il posséda quatorze mille brebis, six mille chameaux, mille paires de bœufs et mille ânesses.
13Il eut sept fils et trois filles ;
14il nomma la première Jémima, la deuxième Ketsia et la troisième Kéren-Hapouk.
15On ne trouvait pas dans toute la terre d'aussi belles femmes que les filles de Job, et leur père leur donna une part d'héritage parmi leurs frères.
16Job vécut après cela cent quarante ans, et il vit ses fils et les fils de ses fils jusqu'à la quatrième génération.
17Et Job mourut vieux et rassasié de jours.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y RESPONDIÓ Job á Jehová, y dijo:
2Yo conozco que todo lo puedes, y que no hay pensamiento que se esconda de ti.
3¿Quién es el que oscurece el consejo sin ciencia? por tanto yo denunciaba lo que no entendía; cosas que me eran ocultas, y que no las sabía.
4Oye, te ruego, y hablaré: te preguntaré, y tú me enseñarás.
5De oídas te había oído; mas ahora mis ojos te ven.
6Por tanto me aborrezco, y me arrepiento en el polvo y en la ceniza.
7Y aconteció que después que habló Jehová estas palabras á Job, Jehová dijo á Eliphaz Temanita: Mi ira se encendió contra ti y tus dos compañeros: porque no habéis hablado por mí lo recto, como mi siervo Job.
8Ahora pues, tomaos siete becerros y siete carneros, y andad á mi siervo Job, y ofreced holocausto por vosotros, y mi siervo Job orará por vosotros; porque de cierto á él atenderé para no trataros afrentosamente, por cuanto no habéis hablado por mí con rectitud, como mi siervo Job.
9Fueron pues Eliphaz Temanita, y Bildad Suhita, y Sophar Naamatita, é hicieron como Jehová les dijo: y Jehová atendió á Job.
10Y mudó Jehová la aflicción de Job, orando él por sus amigos: y aumentó al doble todas las cosas que habían sido de Job.
11Y vinieron á él todos sus hermanos, y todas sus hermanas, y todos los que antes le habían conocido, y comieron con él pan en su casa, y condoliéronse de él, y consoláronle de todo aquel mal que sobre él había Jehová traído; y cada uno de ellos le dió una pieza de moneda, y un zarcillo de oro.
12Y bendijo Jehová la postrimería de Job más que su principio; porque tuvo catorce mil ovejas, y seis mil camellos, y mil yuntas de bueyes, y mil asnas.
13Y tuvo siete hijos y tres hijas.
14Y llamó el nombre de la una, Jemimah, y el nombre de la segunda, Cesiah, y el nombre de la tercera, Keren-happuch.
15Y no se hallaron mujeres tan hermosas como las hijas de Job en toda la tierra: y dióles su padre herencia entre sus hermanos.
16Y después de esto vivió Job ciento y cuarenta años, y vió á sus hijos, y á los hijos de sus hijos, hasta la cuarta generación.
17Murió pues Job viejo, y lleno de días.
King James Version
1Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
2I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
3Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
5I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
6Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
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.
8Therefore 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.
9So 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.
10And 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.
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 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.
12So 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.
13He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
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.
16After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations.
17So Job died, being old and full of days.

1Then Job answered the LORD:
2“I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.
3You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ therefore I have uttered that which I didn’t understand, things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know.
4You said, ‘Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.’
5I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.
6Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”
7It was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
8Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls 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 I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.”
9So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what the LORD commanded them, and the LORD accepted Job.
10The LORD restored Job’s prosperity when he prayed for his friends. The LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11Then all his brothers, all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, came to him and ate bread with him in his house. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that the LORD had brought on him. Everyone also gave him a piece of money, and everyone a ring of gold.
12So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.
13He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14He called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren Happuch.
15In all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job. Their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
16After this Job lived one hundred forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, to four generations.
17So Job died, being old and full of days.
