Job 1
1 Der levede engang i Landet Uz en mand ved Navn Job. Det var en from og retsindig Mand, der 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 Syv Sønner og tre Døtre fødtes ham;
And they were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
3 og hans Ejendom udgjorde 7000 Stykker Småkvæg, 3000 Kameler, 500 Spand Okser, 500 Aseninder og såre mange Trælle, så han var mægtigere end alle Østens Sønner.
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 Hans Sønner havde for Skik at holde Gæstebud på Omgang hos hverandre, og de indbød deres tre Søstre til at spise og drikke sammen med sig.
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 Når så Gæstebudsdagene havde nået Omgangen rundt, sendte Job Bud og lod Sønnerne hellige sig, og tidligt om Morgenen ofrede han Brændofre, et for hver af dem. Thi Job sagde: "Måske har mine Sønner syndet og forbandet Gud i deres Hjerte." Således gjorde Job hver Gang.
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 Nu hændte det en Dag, at Guds Sønner kom og trådte frem for HERREN, og iblandt dem kom også Satan.
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 HERREN spurgte Satan: "Hvor kommer du fra?" Satan svarede HERREN: "Jeg har gennemvanket Jorden på Kryds og tværs."
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 HERREN spurgte da Satan: " Har du lagt Mærke til min Tjener Job? Der findes ingen som han på Jorden, så from og retsindig en Mand, som frygter Gud og 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: "Mon det er for intet, Job frygter Gud?
And he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said ¿ in vain has he feared Job God.
10 Har du ikke omgærdet ham og hans Hus og alt, hvad han ejer, på alle Kanter? Hans Hænders Idræt har du velsignet, og hans Hjorde breder 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 ræk engang din Hånd ud og rør ved alt, hvad han ejer! Sandelig, han vil forbande dig lige op i 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 Da sagde HERREN til Satan: "Se, alt hvad han ejer, er i din Hånd; kun mod ham selv må du ikke udrække din Hånd!" Så gik Satan bort fra HERRENs Åsyn.
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 Da nu en Dag hans Sønner og Døtre spiste og drak i den ældste 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 kom et Sendebud til Job og sagde: "Okserne gik for Ploven, og Aseninderne græssede i Nærheden;
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 så faldt Sabæerne over dem og tog dem; Karlene huggede de ned med Sværdet; jeg alene undslap for at melde dig det."
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 Medens han endnu talte, kom en anden og sagde: "Guds Ild faldt ned fra Himmelen og slog ned iblandt Småkvæget og Karlene og fortærede dem; jeg alene undslap for at melde dig det."
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 Medens han endnu talte, kom en tredje og sagde: "Kaldæerne kom i tre Flokke og kastede sig over Kamelerne og tog dem; Karlene huggede de ned med Sværdet; jeg alene undslap for at melde dig det."
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 Medens han endnu talte, kom en fjerde og sagde: "Dine Sønner og Døtre spiste og drak i deres ældste 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, da for der et stærkt Vejr hen over Ørkenen, og det tog i Husets fire Hjørner, så det styrtede ned over de unge Mænd, og de omkom; jeg alene undslap for at melde dig det."
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, sønderrev sin Kappe, skar sit Hovedhår af og kastede sig til Jorden, tilbad
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 sagde: Nøgen kom jeg af Moders Skød, 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.
