Job 42 — English–Hebrew Parallel

1 Then Ayawab (Job) inah (answer / respond) Yahawah (),

2 “I yadai (know) that you yakal (can) do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be batzar (restrained).

3 You asked, ‘Who is this who ilam (hides) itzah (counsel) without daith (knowledge)?’ Therefore I have nagad (uttered) that which I did not bayan (between), things palaa (be wonderful / extraordinary / marvelous) wonderful for me, which I didn't yadai (know).

4 You said, ‘shamai (hearken / hear), now, and I will dabar (word / matter); I will question you, and you yadai (will) answer me.’

5 I had shamai (hearken / hear) of you by the shamai (hearing) of the azan (ear), but now my iyan (eye) raah (see / saw) you.

6 Therefore I maas (abhor) myself, and nacham (turn away / repent) in ipar (dust) and ashes.”

7 It was so, that achar (other) Yahawah () had dabar (word / matter) these dabarayam (words) to Ayawab (Job), Yahawah () amar (spoke) to Alayapaz (Eliphaz) the thayamanay (temanite), “My ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting) is charah (hot with anger) against you, and against your shanayam (two) rai (neigbor/another person); for you have not dabar (word / matter) of me the thing that is kawan (right), as my ibad (servant) Ayawab (Job) has.

8 Now therefore, laqach (take / seize) to yourselves shabai (seven) parayam (bulls) and shabai (seven) ayalayam (rams), and yalak (go) to my ibad (servant) Ayawab (Job), and ilah (go up / offer) up for yourselves a burnt ilah (offering); and my ibad (servant) Ayawab (Job) shall palal (pray) for you, for I will nashaa (lift) him, that I not ishah (make) with you according to your nabalah (folly). For you have not dabar (word / matter) of me the thing that is kawan (right), as my ibad (servant) Ayawab (Job) has.”

9 So Alayapaz (Eliphaz) the thayamanay (temanite) and Baladad (Bildad) the shawachay (shuhite) and Tzawapar (Zophar) the naimathay (naamathite) yalak (went), and ishah (make) what Yahawah () commanded them, and Yahawah () nashaa (lift) Job.

10 Yahawah () shawab (turn back / repent) the shabawath (captivity) of Ayawab (Job), when he palal (prayed) for his rai (neigbor/another person). Yahawah () yasap (gave) Ayawab (Job) mashanah (twice) as much as he had before.

11 Then bawaa (come) there to him all his ach (brother/kinsman), and all his achawath (sisters), and all those who yadai (had) been of his acquaintance panayam (face), and akal (eat) lacham (bread) with him in his bayath (house). They nacham (turn away / repent) him, and consoled him concerning all the rai (evil) that Yahawah () bawaa (come) brought on him. Everyone also nathan (give) him a qashayatah (piece) of money, and everyone a ring of zahab (gold).

12 So Yahawah () barak (blessed) the acharayath (latter) end of Ayawab (Job) more than his raashayath (beginning). He had fourteen alap (thousand) tzaan (sheep), shash (six) alap (thousand) gamalayam (camels), one alap (thousand) tzamad (yoke) of oxen, and a alap (thousand) female donkeys.

13 He had also shabainah (seven) banayam (sons) and shalawash (three) banawath (daughters).

14 He qaraa (called) the sham (name) of the achad (one), Yamayamah (Jemimah); and the sham (name) of the shanay (second), Qatzayaih (Keziah); and the sham (name) of the shalayashay (third), Qaranahapawak (Keren Happuch).

15 In all the aratz (Earth/land) were no nashayam (women) matzaa (found) so yapah (beautiful) as the banawath (daughters) of Ayawab (Job). Their ab (father) nathan (give) them an nachalah (inheritance) thawak (midst) their ach (brother/kinsman).

16 Achar (other) this Ayawab (Job) chayah (lived) one maah (hundred) arabaiyam (forty) shanah (years), and raah (see / saw) his banay (my son), and his banay (my son)’ banay (my son), to arabai (four) darawath (generations).

17 So Ayawab (Job) mawath (death), being zaqan (old) and shabai (full) of yamayam (days).
