Job 42
1 Saa svarede Job HERREN og sagde:
Then Job replied to Yahweh. [He said],
2 Jeg ved, at du magter alt, for dig er intet umuligt!
“I know that you can do everything and that no one can stop you from doing what you want to do.
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.
[You asked me], ‘(Who are you, who by speaking ignorantly, question what I plan to do?/You have no right to question what I plan to do by speaking ignorantly.)’ [RHQ] It is true that I spoke about things that I did not understand, things that are very wonderful/marvelous, and therefore I am not able to know them.
4 Hør dog, og jeg vil tale, jeg vil spørge, og du skal lære mig!
You said to me, ‘Listen while I talk to you. I want to ask you some questions, so prepare yourself to answer them.’
5 Jeg havde kun hørt et Rygte om dig, men nu har mit Øje set dig;
I had heard about you previously, but now [it is as though] I have seen you with my own eyes.
6 jeg tager det derfor tilbage og angrer i Støv og Aske!
Therefore I (am ashamed of/withdraw) what I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show that I am sorry [for what I said].”
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!
After Yahweh said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz, “I am angry with you and your two friends, [Bildad and Zophar], because what my servant Job said about me was right/true, but what you have spoken about me was not right/true.
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!«
So now you must take to Job seven young bulls and seven rams and [kill them and] burn them on the altar as a sacrifice for yourselves. Then Job will pray for you, and I will do what he requests me to do, [and I will forgive you for speaking wrongly about me]. I will not punish you, even though you deserve to be punished, because what you said about me was not right/true, but what Job said about me was right/true.”
9 Saa gik Temaniten Elifaz, Sjuhiten Bildad og Na'amatiten Zofar hen og gjorde, som HERREN havde sagt, og HERREN bønhørte Job.
So Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar did what Yahweh commanded them to do, and Yahweh did what Job requested him to do [for the three of them].
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.
After Job prayed for his three friends, Yahweh [healed him and] caused him to become rich again. Yahweh gave him twice as many things 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 all his brothers and sisters, and all the people who had known him before, came to his house, and they ate a meal together. They consoled/comforted [DOU] him because of all the troubles that Yahweh had allowed him to experience.
12 Og HERREN velsignede Jobs sidste Tid mere end hans første. Han fik 14 000 Stykker Smaakvæg, og 1000 Aseninder.
Then Yahweh blessed Job in the second half of his life more than he had blessed him in the first half of his life. He now acquired/owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 2,000 oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
13 Og han fik syv Sønner og tre Døtre,
And he also had seven [more] sons and three [more] daughters.
14 og han kaldte den ene Jemima, den anden Kezia og den tredje Keren-Happuk.
He named the first daughter Jemimah, he named the second daughter Keziah, and he named the third daughter Keren-Happuch.
15 Saa smukke Kvinder som Jobs Døtre fandtes ingensteds paa Jorden; og deres Fader gav dem Arv imellem deres Brødre:
In all of [Uz] land there were no young women who were as beautiful as the daughters of Job, and Job declared that they would inherit some of his possessions, just like their brothers would inherit some.
16 Siden levede Job 140 Aar og saa sine Børn og Børnebørn, fire Slægtled.
After that, Job lived 140 more years. Before he died, he (saw/enjoyed being with) his great-great-grandchildren.
17 Saa døde Job gammel og mæt af Dage.
He was very old [DOU] when he died.
