Job 42
1 Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,
Da svarede Job Herren og sagde:
2 I know that thou can do all things, and that no purpose of thine can be restrained.
Jeg ved, at du formaar alting, og at ingen Tanke er dig forment.
3 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.
„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.
4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak, I will ask of thee, and declare thou to me.
Hør dog, og jeg vil tale; jeg vil spørge dig, og undervis du mig!
5 I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees thee.
Jeg havde hørt om dig af Rygte, men nu har mit Øje set dig.
6 Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
Derfor forkaster jeg, hvad jeg har sagt, og angrer i Støv og Aske.
7 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.
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.
8 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.
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.
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did according as Jehovah commanded them, and Jehovah accepted Job.
Saa gik Elifas Themaniten og Bildad Sukiten og Zofar Naamathiten, og de gjorde, ligesom Herren havde sagt til dem; og Herren ansaa Jobs Person.
10 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.
Og Herren vendte Jobs Fangenskab, der han havde bedet for sine Venner; og Herren forøgede alt det, Job havde haft, til det dobbelte.
11 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.
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.
12 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.
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.
13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
Og han fik syv Sønner og tre Døtre.
14 And he called the name of the first, Jemimah, and the name of the second, Keziah, and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
Og han kaldte den førstes Navn Jemima og den andens Navn Kezia og den tredjes Navn Keren-Happuk.
15 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.
Og der blev ikke fundet saa dejlige Kvinder som Jobs Døtre i hele Landet, og deres Fader gav dem Arv iblandt deres Brødre.
16 And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
Og Job levede derefter hundrede og fyrretyve Aar og saa sine Børn og sine Børnebørn i fjerde Slægt.
17 So Job died, being old and full of days.
Og Job døde, gammel og mæt af Dage.
