1.
וַיַּעַן אִיּוֹב אֶת-יְהוָה; וַיֹּאמַר.
vayayan iyov et-YHWH; vayomer.
Then Job answered the LORD, and said:
Hebrew to Tamil - Job - Chapter 42
← Homeof 42
2.
ידעת יָדַעְתִּי, כִּי-כֹל תּוּכָל; וְלֹא-יִבָּצֵר מִמְּךָ מְזִמָּה.
yadati, ki-khol tukhal; velo-yibatzer mimkha mezimah.
I know that Thou canst do every thing, and that no purpose can be withholden from Thee.
3.
מִי זֶה, מַעְלִים עֵצָה-- בְּלִי-דָעַת:לָכֵן הִגַּדְתִּי, וְלֹא אָבִין; נִפְלָאוֹת מִמֶּנִּי, וְלֹא אֵדָע.
mi ze, ma'lim etzah-- beli-da'at:lakhen higadti, velo avin; nifla'ot mimeni, velo eda.
Who 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.
4.
שְׁמַע-נָא, וְאָנֹכִי אֲדַבֵּר; אֶשְׁאָלְךָ, וְהוֹדִיעֵנִי.
shema-na, ve'anokhi adaber; eshal'kha, vehodi'eni.
Hear, I beseech Thee, and I will speak; I will demand of Thee, and declare Thou unto me.
5.
לְשֵׁמַע-אֹזֶן שְׁמַעְתִּיךָ; וְעַתָּה, עֵינִי רָאָתְךָ.
leshema-ozen shema'tikha; ve'atah, 'eini ra'atkha.
I had heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear; but now mine eye seeth Thee;
6.
עַל-כֵּן, אֶמְאַס וְנִחַמְתִּי-- עַל-עָפָר וָאֵפֶר.
'al-ken, em'as venichamti-- 'al-'afar va'efer.
Wherefore I abhor my words, and repent, seeing I am dust and ashes.
7.
וַיְהִי, אַחַר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה אֶת-הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה--אֶל-אִיּוֹב; וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-אֱלִיפַז הַתֵּימָנִי, חָרָה אַפִּי בְךָ וּבִשְׁנֵי רֵעֶיךָ--כִּי לֹא דִבַּרְתֶּם אֵלַי נְכוֹנָה, כְּעַבְדִּי אִיּוֹב.
vayhi, achar diber YHWH et-hadevarim ha'eleh--el-iyyov; vayomer YHWH el-elifaz hateimani, kharah api bekha uvishnei re'ekha--ki lo dibartem elai nekhonah, ke'avdi iyyov.
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.
8.
וְעַתָּה קְחוּ-לָכֶם שִׁבְעָה-פָרִים וְשִׁבְעָה אֵילִים וּלְכוּ אֶל-עַבְדִּי אִיּוֹב, וְהַעֲלִיתֶם עוֹלָה בַּעַדְכֶם, וְאִיּוֹב עַבְדִּי, יִתְפַּלֵּל עֲלֵיכֶם: כִּי אִם-פָּנָיו אֶשָּׂא, לְבִלְתִּי עֲשׂוֹת עִמָּכֶם נְבָלָה--כִּי לֹא דִבַּרְתֶּם אֵלַי נְכוֹנָה, כְּעַבְדִּי אִיּוֹב.
ve'atah kekhu-lakhem shiv'ah-farim veshiv'ah eilim ulekhu el-'avdi iyyov, veha'alitem 'olah ba'adkhem, ve'iyyov 'avdi, yitpallel 'aleikhem: ki im-panav essa, levilti 'asot 'immakhem nevalah--ki lo dibartem elai nekhonah, ke'avdi iyyov.
Now 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.'
9.
וַיֵּלְכוּ אֱלִיפַז הַתֵּימָנִי וּבִלְדַּד הַשּׁוּחִי, צֹפַר הַנַּעֲמָתִי, וַיַּעֲשׂוּ, כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר אֲלֵיהֶם יְהוָה; וַיִּשָּׂא יְהוָה, אֶת-פְּנֵי אִיּוֹב.
vayelekhu Elifaz hateimani uVildad hashukhi, Tsofar hana'amati, vayya'asu, ka'asher diber aleihem YHWH; vayyissa YHWH, et-penei Iyyov.
So 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.
10.
וַיהוָה, שָׁב אֶת-שבית שְׁבוּת אִיּוֹב, בְּהִתְפַּלְלוֹ, בְּעַד רֵעֵהוּ; וַיֹּסֶף יְהוָה אֶת-כָּל-אֲשֶׁר לְאִיּוֹב, לְמִשְׁנֶה.
vaYHWH, shav et-shevut Iyyov, behitpalloto, be'ad re'ehu; vayyosef YHWH et-kol-asher le'Iyyov, lemishneh.
And 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.
11.
וַיָּבֹאוּ אֵלָיו כָּל-אֶחָיו וְכָל-אַחְיֹתָיו וְכָל-יֹדְעָיו לְפָנִים, וַיֹּאכְלוּ עִמּוֹ לֶחֶם בְּבֵיתוֹ, וַיָּנֻדוּ לוֹ וַיְנַחֲמוּ אֹתוֹ, עַל כָּל-הָרָעָה אֲשֶׁר-הֵבִיא יְהוָה עָלָיו; וַיִּתְּנוּ-לוֹ, אִישׁ קְשִׂיטָה אֶחָת, וְאִישׁ, נֶזֶם זָהָב אֶחָד.
vayavo'u elav kol-echav vekhol-achyotav vekhol-yod'av lepanim, vayokhlu immo lehem beveito, vayyanudu lo vaynachamu oto, al kol-harah asher-hevi YHWH alav; vayyittenu-lo, ish keshitah achat, ve'ish, nezem zahav echad.
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 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.
12.
וַיהוָה, בֵּרַךְ אֶת-אַחֲרִית אִיּוֹב--מֵרֵאשִׁתוֹ; וַיְהִי-לוֹ אַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר אֶלֶף צֹאן, וְשֵׁשֶׁת אֲלָפִים גְּמַלִּים, וְאֶלֶף-צֶמֶד בָּקָר, וְאֶלֶף אֲתוֹנוֹת.
vaYHWH, berakh et-acharit Iyyov--mere'shito; vayhi-lo arba'ah ashar elef tzon, vesheshet alafim gemallim, ve'elef-tsemed bakar, ve'elef atonot.
So 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-לוֹ שִׁבְעָנָה בָנִים, וְשָׁלוֹשׁ בָּנוֹת.
vayhi-lo shiv'anah vanim, veshalosh banot.
He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14.
וַיִּקְרָא שֵׁם-הָאַחַת יְמִימָה, וְשֵׁם הַשֵּׁנִית קְצִיעָה; וְשֵׁם הַשְּׁלִישִׁית, קֶרֶן הַפּוּךְ.
vayikra shem-ha'achat yemimah, veshem hashenit ketzi'ah; veshem hashelishit, keren hapukh.
And he called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
15.
וְלֹא נִמְצָא נָשִׁים יָפוֹת, כִּבְנוֹת אִיּוֹב--בְּכָל-הָאָרֶץ; וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם אֲבִיהֶם נַחֲלָה, בְּתוֹךְ אֲחֵיהֶם.
velo nimtsa nashim yafot, kibnot iyov--bekhol-ha'aretz; vayiten lahem avihem nachalah, betokh acheihem.
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.
16.
וַיְחִי אִיּוֹב אַחֲרֵי-זֹאת, מֵאָה וְאַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה; וירא וַיִּרְאֶה, אֶת-בָּנָיו וְאֶת-בְּנֵי בָנָיו--אַרְבָּעָה, דֹּרוֹת.
vaychi iyov acharei-zot, me'ah ve'arba'im shanah; vayir'e, et-banav ve'et-benei vanav--arba'ah, dorot.
And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
17.
וַיָּמָת אִיּוֹב, זָקֵן וּשְׂבַע יָמִים.
Vayamat Iyov, zaken useva yamim.
So Job died, being old and full of days.
