Job 42
1 Saa svarede Job HERREN og sagde:
Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,
2 Jeg ved, at du magter alt, for dig er intet umuligt!
I know that thou can do all things, and that no purpose of thine can be restrained.
3 »Hvem fordunkler mit Raad med Ord, som er uden Indsigt?« Derfor: jeg talte uden Forstand om noget, som var mig for underfuldt, og som jeg ej kendte til.
Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
4 Hør dog, og jeg vil tale, jeg vil spørge, og du skal lære mig!
Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak, I will ask of thee, and declare thou to me.
5 Jeg havde kun hørt et Rygte om dig, men nu har mit Øje set dig;
I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees thee.
6 jeg tager det derfor tilbage og angrer i Støv og Aske!
Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
7 Men efter at HERREN havde talet disse Ord til Job, sagde han til Temaniten Elifaz: »Min Vrede er blusset op mod dig og dine to Venner, fordi I ikke talte rettelig om mig som min Tjener Job!
And it was so, that, after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, Jehovah 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 has.
8 Tag eder derfor syv Tyre og syv Vædre og gaa til min Tjener Job og bring et Brændoffer for eder. Og min Tjener Job skal gaa i Forbøn for eder, thi ham vil jeg bønhøre, saa jeg ikke gør en Ulykke paa eder, fordi I ikke talte rettelig om mig som min Tjener Job!«
Now therefore, take to you 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 I will accept, that I not deal with you after your folly. For ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
9 Saa gik Temaniten Elifaz, Sjuhiten Bildad og Na'amatiten Zofar hen og gjorde, som HERREN havde sagt, og HERREN bønhørte Job.
So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did according as Jehovah commanded them, and Jehovah accepted Job.
10 Og HERREN vendte Jobs Skæbne, da han gik i Forbøn for sine Venner; og HERREN gav Job alt, hvad han havde ejet, tvefold igen.
And Jehovah turned back the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends. And Jehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11 Saa kom alle hans Brødre og Søstre og alle, der kendte ham tilforn, og holdt Maaltid med ham i hans Hus, og de viste ham deres Medfølelse og trøstede ham over al den Ulykke, HERREN havde bragt over ham, og de gav ham hver en Kesita og en Guldring.
Then there came to him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him. Each man also gave him a piece of money, and each one a ring of gold.
12 Og HERREN velsignede Jobs sidste Tid mere end hans første. Han fik 14 000 Stykker Smaakvæg, og 1000 Aseninder.
So Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-donkeys.
13 Og han fik syv Sønner og tre Døtre,
He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14 og han kaldte den ene Jemima, den anden Kezia og den tredje Keren-Happuk.
And he called the name of the first, Jemimah, and the name of the second, Keziah, and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
15 Saa smukke Kvinder som Jobs Døtre fandtes ingensteds paa Jorden; og deres Fader gav dem Arv imellem deres Brødre:
And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job. And their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.
16 Siden levede Job 140 Aar og saa sine Børn og Børnebørn, fire Slægtled.
And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
17 Saa døde Job gammel og mæt af Dage.
So Job died, being old and full of days.
