Job 42
1 Da svarede Job Herren og sagde:
Then Job answered Jehovah, and said:
2 Jeg ved, at du formaar alting, og at ingen Tanke er dig forment.
I know that thou canst do every thing, And that no purpose of thine can be hindered.
3 „Hvo er den, som fordunkler Guds Raad uden Forstand‟? — Saa har jeg udtalt mig om det, som jeg ikke forstod, om de Ting, som vare mig for underlige, hvilke jeg ikke kendte.
Who is he that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Thus have I uttered what I understood not; Things too wonderful for me, which I knew not:
4 Hør dog, og jeg vil tale; jeg vil spørge dig, og undervis du mig!
Hear thou, then, I beseech thee, and I will speak! I will ask thee, and do thou instruct me!
5 Jeg havde hørt om dig af Rygte, men nu har mit Øje set dig.
I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; But now hath mine eye seen thee.
6 Derfor forkaster jeg, hvad jeg har sagt, og angrer i Støv og Aske.
Wherefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes.
7 Og det skete, efter at Herren havde talt disse Ord til Job, da sagde Herren til Elifas, Themaniten: Min Vrede er optændt imod dig og imod dine to Venner; thi I have ikke talt ret om mig, saaledes som min Tjener Job.
And when Jehovah had spoken these words unto Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite: “My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken concerning me that which is right, as hath my servant Job.
8 Saa tager eder nu syv Tyre og syv Vædre, og gaar til min Tjener Job, og ofrer Brændoffer for eder, og Job, min Tjener, skal bede for eder; ikkun hans Person vil jeg anse, at jeg ikke skal lade eders Daarlighed gaa ud over eder; thi I have ikke talt ret om mig, saaledes som min Tjener Job.
Take ye, therefore, seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer for yourselves a burnt-offering, and my servant Job shall pray for you; for to him alone will I have regard; that I deal not with you according to your folly. For ye have not spoken concerning me that which is right, as hath my servant Job.”
9 Saa gik Elifas Themaniten og Bildad Sukiten og Zofar Naamathiten, og de gjorde, ligesom Herren havde sagt til dem; og Herren ansaa Jobs Person.
So Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as Jehovah commanded them; and Jehovah had regard to Job.
10 Og Herren vendte Jobs Fangenskab, der han havde bedet for sine Venner; og Herren forøgede alt det, Job havde haft, til det dobbelte.
And Jehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends, and Jehovah gave him twice as much as he had before.
11 Og alle hans Brødre og alle hans Søstre og alle, som kendte ham tilforn, kom til ham og aade Brød med ham i hans Hus og viste ham Deltagelse og trøstede ham over alt det onde, som Herren havde ladet komme over ham; og de gave ham hver en Penning og hver et Smykke af Guld.
Then came to him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and ate bread with him in his house; and condoled with him, and comforted him over all the evil which Jehovah had brought upon him; and every one gave him a piece of money [[a kesita]], and every one a ring of gold.
12 Og Herren velsignede Jobs sidste Levetid fremfor den første; og han fik fjorten Tusinde Faar og seks Tusinde Kameler og tusinde Par Øksne og tusinde Aseninder.
Thus Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than the beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.
13 Og han fik syv Sønner og tre Døtre.
He had also seven sons, and three daughters.
14 Og han kaldte den førstes Navn Jemima og den andens Navn Kezia og den tredjes Navn Keren-Happuk.
And he called the name of the first Jemima, of the second Kezia, and of the third Kerenhappuch.
15 Og der blev ikke fundet saa dejlige Kvinder som Jobs Døtre i hele Landet, og deres Fader gav dem Arv iblandt deres Brødre.
And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brethren.
16 Og Job levede derefter hundrede og fyrretyve Aar og saa sine Børn og sine Børnebørn i fjerde Slægt.
And Job lived after this a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
17 Og Job døde, gammel og mæt af Dage.
Then Job died, being old and satisfied with days.
