Ījaba nožēla un pazemošanās
1 Ījabs atbildēja Kungam:
2 “Zinu, ka tu visu spēj,
ko tu nolem, to nevar novērst!
3 Kurš padomu apslēpj bez zināšanas?
Jā, es runāju, bet nesapratu,
brīnums tas man – es nezināju.
4 Klausies jel, es runāšu,
es tev vaicāšu, stāsti tu man!
5 Tikai dzirdējis biju par tevi,
nu manas acis tevi ierauga –
6 tāpēc noliedzu sevi un nožēloju
pīšļos un pelnos.”
Ījaba labklājība tiek atjaunota
7 Kad Kungs bija tā runājis ar Ījabu, Kungs sacīja Elīfazam no Tēmānas: “Dusmas man deg pret tevi un taviem diviem draugiem, ka nerunājāt par mani patiesību kā mans kalps Ījabs. 8 Tādēļ ņemiet septiņus vēršus un septiņus aunus un ejiet pie mana kalpa Ījaba, un upurējiet par sevi sadedzināmo upuri. Un mans kalps Ījabs lai lūdz par jums, jo tikai viņa vaigu es uzlūkošu, – ka es vēl neapkaunoju jūs par to, ka netikāt runājuši par mani patiesību kā mans kalps Ījabs.” 9 Elīfazs no Tēmānas un Bildads no Šūhas, un Cofars no Naamas gāja un darīja, kā Kungs tiem bija sacījis. Tad Kungs uzlūkoja Ījaba vaigu, 10 Kungs Ījabam visu atdeva, kad tas bija lūdzis par saviem draugiem. Kungs vairoja otrtik visu, kas Ījabam bijis. 11 Tad nāca pie viņa visi brāļi un māsas un visi agrākie paziņas un ēda ar viņu maizi viņa namā. Tie žēloja viņu un mierināja visa ļaunuma dēļ, ko Kungs viņam bija uzsūtījis. Tie deva viņam katrs vienu sudraba gabalu un katrs vienu zelta gredzenu.
12 Kungs svētīja Ījaba mūža galu vēl vairāk nekā sākumu. Viņam bija četrpadsmit tūkstoši avju, seši tūkstoši kamieļu, tūkstotis jūgu vēršu un tūkstotis ēzeļmāšu. 13 Viņam bija septiņi dēli un trīs meitas, 14 un pirmajai viņš lika vārdā – Ūbele, otrajai – Smaržule un trešajai – Smaržuvācele, 15 un visā zemē nebija citu tik skaistu sievu kā Ījaba meitas, un tēvs tām deva mantas tiesu līdz ar brāļiem.
16 Pēc tam Ījabs dzīvoja vēl simts četrdesmit gadu un pieredzēja savus bērnus un bērnubērnus līdz ceturtajam augumam. 17 Ījabs nomira vecs un sāts savu dienu.
1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said, 2 I know that thou canst do every thing , and that no thought can be withholden from thee. 3 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. 4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. 5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee. 6 Wherefore I abhor myself , and repent in dust and ashes.
7 ¶ 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 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. 9 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.
10 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. 11 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. 12 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. 13 He had also seven sons and three daughters. 14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch. 15 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 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations. 17 So Job died, being old and full of days.
