< Job 2 >

1 Og det skete en Dag, der Guds Børn kom for at fremstille sig for Herren, da kom ogsaa Satan midt iblandt dem for at fremstille sig for Herren.
And it was the day and they came [the] sons of God to present themselves on Yahweh and he came also the adversary in midst of them to present himself on Yahweh.
2 Da sagde Herren til Satan: Hvorfra kommer du? og Satan svarede Herren og sagde: Fra at gaa omkring i Landet og vandre om derudi.
And he said Yahweh to the adversary where? from this are you coming and he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said from roving about on the earth and from going about on it.
3 Og Herren sagde til Satan: Har du givet Agt paa min Tjener Job? thi der er ingen som han i Landet, en oprigtig og retskaffen Mand, som frygter Gud og viger fra det onde, og han holder endnu fast ved sin Retsindighed; men du har tilskyndet mig imod ham at ødelægge ham uden Aarsag.
And he said Yahweh to the adversary ¿ have you set heart your to servant my Job for there not [is] like him on the earth a man blameless and upright fearing God and [who] turns aside from evil and still he [is] keeping hold on integrity his and you incited me against him to ruin him without cause.
4 Da svarede Satan Herren og sagde: Hud for Hud, ja alt det, en Mand har, giver han for sit Liv.
And he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said skin for skin and all that [belongs] to the man he will give for life his.
5 Dog udræk nu din Haand og rør ved hans Ben og hans Kød; hvad gælder det, om han ikke skal fornægte dig lige for dit Ansigt?
But stretch out please hand your and touch bone his and flesh his if not to face your he will bless you.
6 Og Herren sagde til Satan: Se, han være i din Haand; dog var hans Liv!
And he said Yahweh to the adversary there he [is] in hand your surely life his preserve.
7 Da for Satan ud fra Herrens Ansigt og slog Job med onde Bylder fra hans Fodsaal og indtil hans Isse.
And he went out the adversary from with [the] presence of Yahweh and he struck Job with boil[s] bad from [the] sole of foot his (and to *Q(K)*) scalp his.
8 Og han tog sig et Potteskaar til at skrabe sig med, og han sad midt i Asken.
And he took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with it and he [was] sitting in [the] midst the ash[es].
9 Og hans Hustru sagde til ham: Holder du endnu fast ved din Retsindighed? velsign Gud og dø!
And she said to him wife his [are] still? you keeping hold on integrity your bless God and die.
10 Men han sagde til hende: Du taler, ligesom en af de daarlige Kvinder taler; skulde vi alene tage imod det gode af Gud og ikke tage imod det onde? I alt dette syndede Job ikke med sine Læber.
And he said to her as speaks one of the foolish women you are speaking also the good will we accept? from with God and the evil not will we accept? in all this not he sinned Job with lips his.
11 Og der Jobs tre Venner hørte al den Ulykke, som var kommen over ham, da kom de, hver fra sit Sted: Themaniten Elifas og Sukiten Bildad og Naamathiten Zofar, og de forenede sig med hverandre for at komme at vise ham Medynk og trøste ham.
And they heard [the] three - [the] friends of Job all the evil this that it had come on him and they came each one from own place his Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite and they met by appointment together to come to show sympathy to him and to comfort him.
12 Men der de opløftede deres Øjne langtfra, da kendte de ham ikke, og de opløftede deres Røst og græd, og de sønderrev hver sin Kappe, og de kastede Støv paa deres Hoveder op imod Himmelen.
And they lifted up eyes their from a distance and not they recognized him and they lifted up voice their and they wept and they tore each one robe his and they sprinkled dust on heads their the heavens towards.
13 Og de sade hos ham paa Jorden syv Dage og syv Nætter, og ingen talte et Ord til ham; thi de saa, at Pinen var saare stor.
And they sat with him to the ground seven days and seven nights and not [anyone was] speaking to him a word for they saw that it was great the pain exceedingly.
