Romanian term or phrase: .....bunătăți
Ești nevrednic? Fii vrednic prin stăruință!
Că și cel nevrednic poate ajunge vrednic prin stăruință, că DUMNEZEU ne împlinește cererile și, adeseori amână împlinirea cererilor noastre nu pentru ca vrea să ne refuze, nici să ne trimită cu mâinile goale, ci să ne dea și mai mari .

blessing, gift
Explanation:
Yes, his prayer was granted, though the answer tarried long in coming. God's answer to prayer may be "Yes," or it may be "No." It may be "Wait," for it may be that He plans a much larger blessing than we imagined.

God's answer is sometimes "Wait." He may delay the answer because we are not yet fit to receive the gift we crave.

disagree  Lara Barnett: This is not really the correct context for "godsend". Godsend is used more colloquially or emphatically. Despite its religious connotations, it is not actually used very much in deeply religious contexts. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/ambr

Pentru Vechiul Testament, traducerile non-ortodoxe, occidentale folosesc textul masoretic/ebraic, pe când traducerile ortodoxe au la bază textul grecesc al Septuagintei. De aici diferențe de traducere și numerotare a cărților și versetelor.
