约伯记第42章

《圣经》约伯记-第42章

伯42:1 约伯回答耶和华说：

†[吕]于是约伯回答永恒主说：

†[思]约伯回答上主说：

†[当代]约伯回答上帝说：

†[新译]约伯回答耶和华说：

†[Wlb]约伯对耶和华曰、

†[Xdv]于是乔布回答上主。他说：

†[Kjv]Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

†[Nkjv]Then Job answered the LORD and said:

†[BBE]And Job said in answer to the Lord,

†[GNT] Then Job answered the Lord.

†[NIV]Then Job replied to the Lord :

本会注释　　约伯沿着长梯，从绝望坚定地攀到了信靠。他获得了上帝的启示。很少有人有这样的经验。上帝用自然界的比喻对他说话。约伯听见了祂的声音，知道自己可以爱祂，信赖祂。约伯的话记在第2-6节。

伯42:2 我知道，你万事都能做；你的旨意不能拦阻。 (串)创18:14耶32:17|太19:26可10:27;14:36路18:27

†[吕]“我知道你万事都能作，你的计画都不能被拦阻。

†[思]我知道你事事都能，你所有的计划，没有不实现的。

†[当代]“我知道你什么事都能做，而且没有人能阻挠你的旨意。

†[新译]“我知道你万事都能作，你的旨意是不能拦阻的。

†[Wlb]我知尔万事能为、尔之意旨、莫能止之、

†[Xdv]上主啊，我知道你事事都能；你能实现一切计划。

†[Kjv]I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.

†[Nkjv]"I know that You can do everything, And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You.

†[BBE]I see that you are able to do every thing, and to give effect to all your designs.

†[GNT] I know, Lord, that you are all-powerful; that you can do everything you want.

†[NIV]I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted.

本会注释　　你万事都能做。约伯承认上帝无所不能。
　　不能拦阻。约伯承认上帝无所不知（见诗44:21；139:2）。

伯42:3 谁用无知的言语使你的旨意隐藏呢？我所说的是我不明白的；这些事太奇妙，是我不知道的。 (串)伯35:16;38:2|诗139:6

†[吕]这是谁，以无知的话使你的旨意隐蔽不明呀？故此我所诉说的、我不明白：太奇妙的事、出于我所能知的以外。

†[思]是我以无智的话，使你的计划模糊不明；是我说了无知的话，说了那些超越我智力的话。

†[当代]你问是哪一个这样无知地否定了你的旨意，那人就是我了！我在瞎说著一些自己完全不知道、又不明白的事，这些事对我来说，实在是太奥妙了。

†[新译]这以无知无识的言语使　神的旨意模糊不清的是谁呢？所以我说了我所不明白的；这些事太奇妙，是我不晓得的。

†[Wlb]孰以无知之词、晦厥意旨乎、我所言者、我不自知、奥妙之事、我所不明、

†[Xdv]你问，无知的我怎能疑惑你的智慧；我讲论自己所不明白的事，奇妙异常，不能领悟。

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]You asked, "Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?' Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.

†[BBE]Who is this who makes dark the purpose of God by words without knowledge? For I have been talking without knowledge about wonders not to be searched out.

†[GNT] You ask how I dare question your wisdom when I am so very ignorant. I talked about things I did not understand, about marvels too great for me to know.

†[NIV]You asked, 'Who is this that obscures my counsel without knowledge?' Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.

本会注释　　谁？这句话与伯38:2中上帝的问句几乎一样。不能确定那句话是针对以利户还是约伯的（见@伯38:2@注释）。约伯现在把这句话用在自己身上。他先承认自己知识的局限。他过去的结论是因为无知。尽管他是诚心的，但是他错了。
　　是我不知道的。当更大的真光照耀的时候，就显得他的知识是多么贫乏和片面！约伯在抱怨的时候，觉得自己的理由是无懈可击的。他认为自己的态度是完全正确的。但是，当他对上帝有更加充分的认识时，他原来的理由就丧失了说服力。人的理智被证明为是常常出错的。现在表面上看似乎非常智慧的观念，将来可能证明为十分荒唐的。
　　约伯甘愿承认自己的无知。这是值得称许的。他没有想原谅自己，为自己辩护。他的承认，和他在争辩一样，态度是诚实的。这是《约伯记》一开始就提到的他正直品格的一个部分（见伯1:1）。

伯42:4 求你听我，我要说话；我问你，求你指示我。 (串)伯38:3;40:7

†[吕]你请听，我要说话；我问你，求你指示我。

†[思]请你听我发言；我求你指教我。

†[当代]你说：‘你且听著，我现在要对你说话。我要向你发问，看看你能否回答！’

†[新译]求你听我，我要说话；我要问你，你要告诉我。

†[Wlb]我将言之、求尔垂听、我将问尔、愿尔示之、

†[Xdv]你要我留心听你的话，答复你提出的问题。

†[Kjv]Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

†[Nkjv]Listen, please, and let me speak; You said, "I will question you, and you shall answer Me.'

†[BBE]Give ear to me, and I will say what is in my mind; I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers.

†[GNT] You told me to listen while you spoke and to try to answer your questions.

†[NIV]You said, 'Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.'

本会注释　　就像第3节重复伯38:2的问题，在这里他重复伯38:3的问题。他准备接受上帝要求，开始说话。他终于知道自己应该说什么了。

伯42:5 我从前风闻有你，现在亲眼看见你。

†[吕]从前我只是耳闻到你，现在我却亲眼看到你；

†[思]以前我只听见了有关你的事，现今我亲眼见了你。

†[当代]我要说：‘从前我只是风闻有你，现在却是亲眼看见你了。我实在厌恶自己，我要在尘土和炉灰中懊悔。’”

†[新译]我从前只是风闻有你，但现在亲眼看见你。

†[Wlb]昔我耳闻尔、今我目睹尔、

†[Xdv]从前我听别人谈论到你；现在我亲眼看见了你！

†[Kjv]I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.

†[Nkjv]"I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, But now my eye sees You.

†[BBE]Word of you had come to my ears, but now my eye has seen you.

†[GNT] In the past I knew only what others had told me, but now I have seen you with my own eyes.

†[NIV]My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.

本会注释　　约伯承认他以前对上帝的认识是听来的。现在他有了第一手的知识。本节表达了《约伯记》最重要的教训。约伯从来自遗传的宗教，转到了以亲自与上帝交往为基础的体验。根据他从小接受的遗传，义人是不会受苦的。约伯自幼就听说，上帝会拯救义人脱离今生的一切苦难。当他遭遇痛苦的时候，他困茫了，因为这与他原先说到的上帝是不一致的。他朋友们的态度更增加了他的困惑。现在约伯看见了上帝，知道上帝拥有无限的能力和仁慈。他还知道，虽然他可能受苦，但依然是上帝的儿女。上帝没有向他解释受苦的原因，但是他相信，无论出于什么原因，他都不必疑虑。
　　约伯的体验使他明白了信心的意义。他看见上帝，使他对上帝的旨意心悦诚服。他对上帝的信靠不受环境所影响。他不再指望暂时的福气，来证明上天的悦纳。他与上帝关系现在有了更坚实可靠的基础。当他发现上帝并不受周围传统观念的限制时，他就为自己的问题找到了答案。“现在亲眼看见你”这句话所表达的深刻认识，与整部圣经，特别是《约翰福音》，《罗马书》和《加拉太书》所强调的信心经验是一致的（约1:12-17；罗8:1-8；加4:3-7）。

伯42:6 因此我厌恶自己（或作：我的言语），在尘土和炉灰中懊悔。 (串)创18:27伯30:19|伯2:8

†[吕]因此我溶化为无有了（或译：取消我所说所行的）；我在尘土和炉灰中懊悔着。”

†[思]为此，我收回我所说过的话，坐在灰尘中忏悔。

†[当代]－

†[新译]因此我厌恶自己，在尘土和灰烬中懊悔。”

†[Wlb]故我自憾、在于灰尘、而自悔焉、

†[Xdv]所以，我对说过了的话觉得羞愧，坐在尘土和炉灰中忏悔。

†[Kjv]Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.

†[Nkjv]Therefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes."

†[BBE]For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.

†[GNT] So I am ashamed of all I have said and repent in dust and ashes.

†[NIV]Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes."

本会注释　　约伯可能依然坐在他当初受疾病打击时所坐的炉灰上（见伯2:8）。他的朋友们劝他悔改。但他们的呼吁是因为他们认定他犯有他根本没有犯的罪。约伯最后懊悔的是他对上帝的错误态度。请把约伯的悔改与彼得的悔改（路5:8）和以赛亚的悔改（赛6:5）进行比较。每次都是上帝的显示成就了基于世人遗传的争论所达不到功效。

伯42:7 耶和华对约伯说话以后，就对提幔人以利法说：“我的怒气向你和你两个朋友发作，因为你们议论我不如我的仆人约伯说的是。 (串)代上1:45伯2:11

†[吕]永恒主对约伯说了这些话以后，永恒主对提幔人以利法说：“我向你和你两个朋友发怒；因为你们议论到我、不如我仆人约伯说的正确。

†[思]上主对约伯说完这些话，就对特曼人厄里法次说：“我应向你和你的两个友人发怒，因为你们讲论我，不如我仆约伯讲论的正确。

†[当代]主对约伯说完了话，就对提幔人以利法说：“我要向你和你的两个朋友发怒。你们所讲论有关我的一切，并不及我仆人约伯所说的正确。

†[新译]耶和华对约伯说了这些话以后，就对提幔人以利法说：“我要向你和你的两个朋友生气，因为你们讲论我，不如我的仆人约伯说的对。

†[Wlb]耶和华谕约伯之后、谕提幔人以利法曰、我怒及尔、与尔二友、因尔曹论我、不如我仆约伯之正、

†[Xdv]上主对乔布说了这些话后，就对以利法说：“我对你和你的两个朋友很不满意，因为你们议论我的话不比我的仆人乔布所说的正确。

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]And so it was, after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.

†[BBE]And it came about, after he had said these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, I am very angry with you and your two friends, because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.

†[GNT] After the Lord had finished speaking to Job, he said to Eliphaz, "I am angry with you and your two friends, because you did not speak the truth about me, the way my servant Job did.

†[NIV]After the Lord had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.

本会注释　　本节是《约伯记》结尾散文体的开始。上帝把注意力转到了约伯的三个朋友，就对三人中显然为首的以利法说话。上帝责备约伯缺乏知识。但祂对那些朋友们发怒，因为他们没有“说的是”。这就引起了一个有趣的问题：约伯的错误和他朋友们的错误有何区别。通过分析可以了解，约伯犯错是因为苦难，压力，沮丧和绝望。他饱经磨难，又无法理解。他的言论有时是冒昧的，有时近乎亵渎。但他对上帝始终保持基本的信心。朋友们没有受约伯的苦。他们的错误言论表达了错误的理论。他们让遗传掩盖了同情心。他们认为自己粗暴的态度是有理的。因为他们觉得上帝似乎要求他们这样做。现在也有以利法和他的朋友那样的人。他们是好人，但他们所捍卫的却是错误的观念。约伯是犯了错误，但与朋友们相比，他却“说的是”。他绝望可怜的呼声，比朋友们的冷漠更蒙上帝悦钠。

伯42:8 现在你们要取七只公牛，七只公羊，到我仆人约伯那里去，为自己献上燔祭，我的仆人约伯就为你们祈祷。我因悦纳他，就不按你们的愚妄办你们。你们议论我，不如我的仆人约伯说的是。” (串)民23:1代上15:26|伯1:5|创20:7撒上12:23雅5:16约壹5:16

†[吕]现在你们要取七只公牛、七只公绵羊、到我仆人约伯那里，为你们自己献上燔祭；我仆人约伯就要为你们祈祷；因为我不按你们的冥顽不灵来办你们，是看他的情面的；因为你们议论到我、不如我仆人约伯说的正确。”

†[思]现在你们要牵七头公牛，和七只公羊到我仆约伯那，叫他为你们奉献全燔祭，也叫他为你们祈祷，因为我要看他的情面，不惩罚你们的糊涂，因为你们讲论我，不如我仆约伯讲的正确。”

†[当代]现在你们要拿七只公牛和七只公羊，到我仆人约伯那里去，为自己的罪献上燔祭。约伯会为你们祈祷，我便会接纳他的祷告，饶恕你们屈枉我仆人约伯的罪。”

†[新译]现在你们要为自己取七头公牛、七只公羊，到我的仆人约伯那里去，为你们献上燔祭，我的仆人约伯就替你们祷告；我悦纳他的祷告，就不按照你们的愚昧待你们。你们讲论我，不如我的仆人约伯说的对。”

†[Wlb]当取牡牛七、牡羊七、诣我仆约伯、为己献燔祭、我仆约伯将为尔祈祷、我悦纳之、不依尔之愚昧待尔、盖尔曹论我、不如我仆约伯之正、

†[Xdv]现在，你们要拿七只公牛，七只公羊，到乔布那里去，为你们自己献上烧化祭。乔布要为你们祈求；我会悦纳他的祈求，不按照你们的胡涂责罚你们。你们对我的议论，不如乔布所说的真实。”

†[Kjv]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 spo

†[Nkjv]Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, 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, lest I deal with you according to your folly; because you have

†[BBE]And now, take seven oxen and seven sheep, and go to my servant Job, and give a burned offering for yourselves, and my servant Job will make prayer for you, that I may not send punishment on you; because you have not said what is right about me, as my serv

†[GNT] Now take seven bulls and seven rams to Job and offer them as a sacrifice for yourselves. Job will pray for you, and I will answer his prayer and not disgrace you the way you deserve. You did not speak the truth about me as he did."

†[NIV]So now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. You have not spoken of me what is

本会注释　　为你们祈祷。这是代祷的例子（见雅5:16；约壹5:16）。有时需要经过代求，上帝才赐予宽恕和福惠。约伯为那些没有公正仁爱地待他的人祷告。这更加深了代祷的意义。
　　愚妄。上帝这样描写约伯朋友们的言论。人的遗传和幼稚观念在上帝看来，是多么愚妄。以利法和他的朋友看到自己为上帝说话竟是这样的结论，他们一定很吃惊！我们必须认识到，维护上帝的最好办法，就是表现上帝的品性，就是祂的慈爱和怜悯。

伯42:9 于是提幔人以利法、书亚人比勒达、拿玛人琐法照着耶和华所吩咐的去行；耶和华就悦纳约伯。 (串)伯2:11

†[吕]于是提幔人以利法、书亚人比勒达、拿玛人琐法就去，照永恒主所吩咐他们的去行；永恒主就看了约伯的情面。

†[思]于是，特曼人厄里法次、叔亚人彼耳达得、纳阿玛人左法尔依照上主所吩咐的作了；上主就看了约伯的情面，饶恕了他们。

†[当代]于是提幔人以利法、书亚人比勒达和拿玛人琐法都照著主的吩咐去做，主就接纳了约伯的祷告。

†[新译]于是提幔人以利法、书亚人比勒达、拿玛人琐法，照着耶和华吩咐他们的去行，耶和华就悦纳约伯的祷告。

†[Wlb]于是提幔人以利法、书亚人比勒达、拿玛人琐法、往遵耶和华命而行、耶和华悦纳约伯、

†[Xdv]于是以利法、比勒达、琐法按照上主所吩咐的做了。上主悦纳乔布的祈求。

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD commanded them; for the LORD had accepted Job.

†[BBE]And Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as the Lord had said. And the Lord gave ear to Job.

†[GNT] Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar did what the Lord had told them to do, and the Lord answered Job's prayer.

†[NIV]So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite did what the Lord told them; and the Lord accepted Job's prayer.

本会注释　　他们曾竭力想纠正的人，竟反过来为他们的得救和悔改而祈祷。这是一个鲜明的对比。上帝接受了约伯为他们的代求。不知道他们以后会不会改变自己的人生哲学，符合上帝设法教导他们的真理。

伯42:10 约伯为他的朋友祈祷。耶和华就使约伯从苦境（原文作掳掠）转回，并且耶和华赐给他的比他从前所有的加倍。 (串)诗14:7;126:1结16:53|赛40:2;61:7亚9:12

†[吕]约伯为他的朋友祈祷、永恒主就恢复约伯的故业；永恒主并且将约伯从前一切所有的都加倍赐给他。

†[思]约伯为他的朋友祈祷之后，上主就恢复了约伯原有的状况，还照约伯以前所有的，加倍地赐给了他。

†[当代]他为朋友代祷的时候，上帝就恢复他所有的财富和福乐，甚至加倍地赐给他。

†[新译]约伯替他的朋友祷告，耶和华就恢复约伯原来的景况，还照约伯以前所有的一切加倍赐给他。

†[Wlb]约伯既为其友祈祷、耶和华则转其困厄、依昔所有、赐之维倍、

†[Xdv]乔布为三个朋友祷告后，上主恢复了他的景况，使他比从前加倍兴盛。

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]And the LORD restored Job's losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

†[BBE]And the Lord made up to Job for all his losses, after he had made prayer for his friends: and all Job had before was increased by the Lord twice as much.

†[GNT] Then, after Job had prayed for his three friends, the Lord made him prosperous again and gave him twice as much as he had had before.

†[NIV]After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord made him prosperous again and gave him twice as much as he had before.

怀爱伦注释　　为那些伤害我们的人祈祷──让我们努力行在光中，如同基督一样行在光中，上帝使约伯从苦境中转回，当他祈祷的时候，不仅是为自己，而也为那反对他的人祈祷，在他切望那受侵害的心得到帮助时，他就得到了帮助。我们需要祷告，我们不仅要为自己而也要为那伤害我们的人祈祷。我们尤其是要出于内心的祈祷，上帝没有得到休息，因为衪是爱听那在衪面前谦卑之人的真诚而热切的祷告。（1906,88号信件）
本会注释　　《新约》教导我们，上帝的饶恕是与人们相互宽恕的程度成正比例的（太6:12,14,15；18:32-35）。约伯的经验似乎体现了这项原则。他在为朋友们祷告的时候，他的命运发生了变化。但祷告无论多么真诚，都不能保证物质的富裕。《约伯记》从整体上说，是否定这种观念的。这件事证明上帝悦钠为亏待过自己的人祈求的人。

伯42:11 约伯的弟兄、姐妹，和以先所认识的人都来见他，在他家里一同吃饭；又论到耶和华所降与他的一切灾祸，都为他悲伤安慰他。每人也送他一块银子和一个金环。 (串)伯19:13|伯2:11|创33:19书24:32|创24:22

†[吕]约伯的弟兄姐妹、和以前所认识的人都来见他，在他家里一同吃饭；论到永恒主所降于他的一切灾祸、他们都向他表示悲伤，安慰他；他们也每人送给他一块银锭，每人送一个金环。

†[思]约伯的兄弟和姊妹，并以前相识的人都来看望他，在他家中同他一起用饭；对于上主降于他的一切灾祸，都向他表示同情，安慰他；每人还赠给他一枚金币和一个金戒指。

†[当代]约伯的兄弟姊妹和从前的朋友都来探望他，在他家里饮宴团聚，对他所受的种种苦难加以慰问，又为著主降给他的试炼而安慰他。每人都送他一些钱和一个金环。

†[新译]约伯的众兄弟姊妹和以前认识的人都来见他，在他家里与他一同吃饭，又因耶和华降予他的一切灾祸都对他表同情，安慰他，每人送他一块银子和一个金环。

†[Wlb]时、约伯兄弟姊妹、与素相识者俱至、同食于其家、因耶和华降灾、悼而慰之、各馈金一、金环一、

†[Xdv]他的兄弟、姊妹，和从前的朋友们都来探望他，在他家里一起用饭。他们对他表示同情，为了他从上主那里所受到的一切灾难，来慰问他。每人送给他一些钱和一个金环。

†[Kjv]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:

†[Nkjv]Then all his brothers, all his sisters, and all those who had been his acquaintances before, came to him and ate food with him in his house; and they consoled him and comforted him for all the adversity that the LORD had brought upon him. Each one gave hi

†[BBE]And all his brothers and sisters, and his friends of earlier days, came and took food with him in his house; and made clear their grief for him, and gave him comfort for all the evil which the Lord had sent on him; and they all gave him a bit of money and

†[GNT] All Job's brothers and sisters and former friends came to visit him and feasted with him in his house. They expressed their sympathy and comforted him for all the troubles the Lord had brought on him. Each of them gave him some money and a gold ring.

†[NIV]All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the Lord had brought upon him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.

本会注释　　弟兄。约伯的家人曾经遗忘，抛弃和反对他（见伯19:13,14,19）。现在他时来运转，他们就过来庆贺。他们似乎等到万事大吉才敢向他表同情。他们表现了人类的通病。
　　银子。希伯来语是qesitah，只出现在这里，创33:19和书24:32。Qesitah可能是重量单位。这里暗示《约伯记》年代的久远。
　　环。希伯来语是nezem，表示各种环形物，如耳环（见创24:47；35:4；士8:24,25；箴11:22；25:12；赛3:21；何2:13）。

伯42:12 这样，耶和华后来赐福给约伯比先前更多。他有一万四千羊，六千骆驼，一千对牛，一千母驴。 (串)雅5:11|伯1:3

†[吕]这样、永恒主赐福与约伯的晚年就胜过他起初的：他有羊一万四千只，骆驼六千只，牛一千对，母驴一千匹。

†[思]上主赐给约伯以后的福分，远胜过以前所有的；他拥有一万四千只羊，六千匹骆驼，一千对牛，一千头母驴。

†[当代]主在约伯晚年所赐给他的，比从前更多。他现在有一万四千只羊、六千只骆驼、一千对牛和一千只母驴。

†[新译]这样，耶和华后来赐给约伯的福比先前更多：他有一万四千只羊、六千匹骆驼、一千对牛、一千头母驴。

†[Wlb]耶和华锡嘏约伯之暮年、尤盛于畴昔、有羊一万四千、驼六千、牛一千耦、牝驴一千、

†[Xdv]在乔布的晚年，上主赐福给他，比他早年所得的还多。乔布拥有一万四千只羊，六千只骆驼，两千头牛，一千匹驴。

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]Now the LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.

†[BBE]And the Lord's blessing was greater on the end of Job's life than on its start: and so he came to have fourteen thousand sheep and goats, and six thousand camels, and two thousand oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

†[GNT] The Lord blessed the last part of Job's life even more than he had blessed the first. Job owned fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, two thousand head of cattle, and one thousand donkeys.

†[NIV]The Lord blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the first. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys.

本会注释　　三个朋友们都说过，如果约伯悔改，就会得到福气（伯5:18-26；8:20,21；11:13-19）。他们的预言实现了；但约伯懊悔的性质与他们的想象是不一样的。他们根本没有料到需要懊悔自己错误的观念和行为。

伯42:13 他也有七个儿子，三个女儿。 (串)伯1:2

†[吕]他也有七个儿子、三个女儿。

†[思]他又生了七个儿子和叁个女儿。

†[当代]上帝又再给他七个儿子和三个女儿：长女叫耶米玛、次女叫基洗亚、三女叫基连哈朴。

†[新译]他也有七个儿子和三个女儿。

†[Wlb]子七女三、

†[Xdv]他有七个儿子，三个女儿。

†[Kjv]He had also seven sons and three daughters.

†[Nkjv]He also had seven sons and three daughters.

†[BBE]And he had seven sons and three daughters.

†[GNT] He was the father of seven sons and three daughters.

†[NIV]And he also had seven sons and three daughters.

伯42:14 他给长女起名叫耶米玛，次女叫基洗亚，三女叫基连哈朴。

†[吕]他给第一个女儿起名叫耶米玛；第二个名叫基洗亚；第三个名叫基连哈朴。

†[思]他给长女起名叫耶米玛，次女叫刻漆雅，叁女叫刻楞哈普客。

†[当代]－

本会注释　　约伯原以为自己行将就木，竟又活了将近一个半世纪！他的人生似枯木逢春，并比以前更加灿烂。离去的福分又回来了，比过去更加美妙。他重新获得财产，家庭，朋友和声望。但更大的福气是他与上帝面对面交往的回忆，以及学到比物质财产更有价值的教训。上帝本着自己的旨意，认为这些教训应该让全人类共享。所以从远古起，《约伯记》就作为伟大的属灵遗产保存下来。我们今天有权利从约伯的经验中学到信靠上帝的教训。
