Job 1
1 Der var en Mand i Uz Land, hans Navn var Job; og den samme Mand var oprigtig og retskaffen; han frygtede Gud og veg fra det onde.
A man he was in [the] land of Uz [was] Job name his and he was - the man that blameless and upright and fearing God and turning aside from evil.
2 Og ham bleve fødte syv Sønner og tre Døtre.
And they were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
3 Og hans Kvæg var syv Tusinde Faar og tre Tusinde Kameler og fem Hundrede Par Øksne og fem Hundrede Aseninder, tillige med saare meget Tyende; og den samme Mand var mægtigere end alle Folkene imod Østen.
And it was livestock his seven thousand sheep and three thousand camels and five hundred pair[s] of ox[en] and five hundred female donkeys and service much very and he was the man that great more than all [the] people of [the] east.
4 Og hans Sønner gik hen og gjorde Gæstebud hver i sit Hus paa sin Dag; og de sendte hen og indbøde deres tre Søstre til at æde og til at drikke med dem.
And they went sons his and they made a feast [the] house of each one day his and they sent and they invited [the] three (sisters their *Q(k)*) to eat and to drink with them.
5 Og det skete, naar Gæstebudsdagene vare omme, da sendte Job hen og helligede dem og stod aarle op om Morgenen og ofrede Brændofre efter Tallet paa dem alle; thi Job sagde: Maaske mine Sønner have syndet og fornægtet Gud i deres Hjerte. Saaledes gjorde Job alle de Dage.
And it was that they had gone round [the] days of the feast and he sent Job and he sanctified them and he rose early in the morning and he offered up burnt offerings [the] number of all of them for he said Job perhaps they have sinned children my and they have blessed God in heart their thus he did Job all the days.
6 Og det skete en Dag, der Guds Børn kom at fremstille sig for Herren, da kom ogsaa Satan midt iblandt dem.
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.
7 Da sagde Herren til Satan: Hvorfra kommer du? og Satan svarede Herren og sagde: Fra at gaa omkring i Landet og fra at vandre om derudi.
And he said Yahweh to the adversary from where? are you coming and he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said from roving about on the earth and from going about on it.
8 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 som viger fra det onde.
And he said Yahweh to the adversary ¿ have you set heart your on 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.
9 Men Satan svarede Herren og sagde: Mon Job frygter Gud for intet?
And he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said ¿ in vain has he feared Job God.
10 Har du ej sat Gærde om ham og om hans Hus og om alt det, han har trindt omkring? du har velsignet hans Hænders Gerning, og hans Kvæg har udbredt sig i Landet.
¿ Not (you *Q(K)*) have you put a hedge behind him and behind house his and behind all that [belongs] to him from round about [the] work of hands his you have blessed and livestock his it has spread out in the land.
11 Men udræk nu din Haand og rør ved alt det, som han har; hvad gælder det, om han ikke skal fornægte dig lige for dit Ansigt?
And but stretch out please hand your and touch all that [belongs] to him if not on face your he will bless you.
12 Og Herren sagde til Satan: Se, alt det, han har, være i din Haand; kun paa ham selv lægge du ikke din Haand; da gik Satan ud fra Herrens Ansigt.
And he said Yahweh to the adversary there! all that [belongs] to him [is] in hand your only against him may not you stretch out hand your and he went out the adversary from with [the] presence of Yahweh.
13 Og det skete en Dag, da hans Sønner og hans Døtre aade og drak Vin i deres førstefødte Broders Hus,
And it was the day and sons his and daughters his [were] eating and drinking wine in [the] house of brother their the firstborn.
14 da kom deret Bud til Job og sagde: Øksnene pløjede og Aseninderne gik paa Græs ved Siden af dem,
And a messenger he came to Job and he said the ox[en] they were plowing and the female donkeys [were] grazing on hands their.
15 da faldt de af Seba ind og toge dem og sloge Drengene med skarpe Sværd; og jeg alene er undkommen, jeg alene, for at give dig det til Kende.
And it fell Sabean[s] and it took them and the servants they struck to [the] mouth of [the] sword and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to you.
16 Der denne endnu talte, da kom en anden og sagde: Guds Ild faldt fra Himmelen og brændte paa Faarene og paa Drengene og fortærede dem; og jeg alene er undkommen, jeg alene, for at give dig det til Kende.
Still - this [one] [was] speaking and this [one] he came and he said [the] fire of God it fell from the heavens and it burned the sheep and the servants and it consumed them and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to you.
17 Der denne endnu talte, da kom en anden og sagde: Kaldæerne gjorde tre Hobe og overfaldt Kamelerne og toge dem og sloge Drengene med skarpe Sværd; og jeg alene er undkommen, jeg alene, for at give dig det til Kende.
Still - this [one] [was] speaking and this [one] he came and he said [the] Chaldeans they formed - three companies and they made a raid on the camels and they took them and the servants they struck to [the] mouth of [the] sword and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to you.
18 Men der denne endnu talte, da kom en anden og sagde: Dine Sønner og dine Døtre aade og drak Vin i deres førstefødte Broders Hus,
Until this [one] [was] speaking and this [one] he came and he said sons your and daughters your [were] eating and drinking wine in [the] house of brother their the firstborn.
19 og se, der kom et stærkt Vejr fra hin Side Ørken og tog fat i Husets fire Hjørner, at det faldt paa Drengene, og de døde; og jeg alene er undkommen, jeg alene, for at give dig det til Kende.
And there! a wind great it came - from [the] other side of the wilderness and it touched [the] four [the] corners of the house and it fell on the youths and they died and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to you.
20 Da stod Job op og sønderrev sin Kappe og klippede sit Hoved og faldt paa Jorden og nedbøjede sig,
And he arose Job and he tore robe his and he shaved head his and he fell [the] earth towards and he bowed down.
21 og han sagde: Nøgen kom jeg af min Moders Liv, og nøgen vender jeg did tilbage; Herren gav, og Herren tog, Herrens Navn være lovet!
And he said naked (I came out *Q(k)*) from [the] womb of mother my and naked I will return there towards Yahweh he gave and Yahweh he has taken may it be [the] name of Yahweh blessed.
22 I alt dette syndede Job ikke og tillagde ikke Gud noget vrangt.
In all this not he sinned Job and not he ascribe unseemliness to God.
