Job 42
1 Then Job replied to the LORD:
Så svarede Job HERREN og sagde:
2 “I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted.
"Jeg ved, at du magter alt, for dig er intet umuligt!
3 You asked, ‘Who is this who conceals My counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.
"Hvem fordunkler mit Råd med Ord, som er uden Indsigt?" Derfor: jeg talte uden Forstand om noget, som var mig for underfuldt, og som jeg ej kendte til.
4 You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak. I will question you, and you shall inform Me.’
Hør dog, og jeg vil tale, jeg vil spørge, og du skal lære mig!
5 My ears had heard of You, but now my eyes have seen You.
Jeg havde kun hørt et Rygte om dig, men nu har mit Øje set dig;
6 Therefore I retract my words, and I repent in dust and ashes.”
jeg tager det derfor tilbage og angrer i Støv og Aske!
7 After the LORD had spoken these words to Job, He said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and your two friends. For you have not spoken about Me accurately, as My servant Job has.
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!
8 So now, take seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. Then My servant Job will pray for you, for I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken accurately about Me, as My servant Job has.”
Tag eder derfor syv Tyre og syv Vædre og gå til min Tjener Job og bring et Brændoffer for eder. Og min Tjener Job skal gå i Forbøn for eder, thi ham vil jeg bønhøre, så jeg ikke gør en Ulykke på eder, fordi I ikke talte rettelig om mig som min Tjener Job!"
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD had told them; and the LORD accepted Job’s request.
Så gik Temaniten Elifaz, Sjuhiten Bildad og Na'amatiten Zofar hen og gjorde, som HERREN havde sagt, og HERREN bønhørte Job.
10 After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his prosperity and doubled his former possessions.
Og HERREN vendte Jobs Skæbne, da han gik i Forbøn for sine Venner; og HERREN gav Job alt, hvad han havde ejet, tvefold igen.
11 All his brothers and sisters and prior acquaintances came and dined with him in his house. They consoled him and comforted him over all the adversity that the LORD had brought upon him. And each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.
Så kom alle hans Brødre og Søstre og alle, der kendte ham tilforn, og holdt Måltid 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.
12 So the LORD blessed Job’s latter days more than his first. He owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
Og HERREN velsignede Jobs sidste Tid mere end hans første. Han fk 14000 Stykker Småkvæg, og 1000 Aseninder.
13 And he also had seven sons and three daughters.
Og han fik syv Sønner og tre Døtre,
14 He named his first daughter Jemimah, his second Keziah, and his third Keren-happuch.
og han kaldte den ene Jemima, den anden Kezia og den tredje Keren-Happuk.
15 No women as beautiful as Job’s daughters could be found in all the land, and their father granted them an inheritance among their brothers.
Så smukke Kvinder som Jobs Døtre fandtes ingensteds på Jorden; og deres Fader gav dem Arv imellem deres Brødre:
16 After this, Job lived 140 years and saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.
Siden levede Job 140 År og så sine Børn og Børnebørn, fire Slægtled.
17 And so Job died, old and full of years.
Så døde Job gammel og mæt af Dage.
