Job 42
1 Then Job answered the Lord.
Da svarede Job Herren og sagde:
2 “I know you can do anything. No one can prevent you doing what you want.
Jeg ved, at du formaar alting, og at ingen Tanke er dig forment.
3 You asked, ‘Who is this who questions my wisdom by talking so ignorantly?’ I was speaking about things I didn't understand—things too wonderful for me to 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 You told me, ‘Listen to me, I am going to speak. I am going to question you, and you must answer me.’
Hør dog, og jeg vil tale; jeg vil spørge dig, og undervis du mig!
5 Before, I had only heard about you, but now I've seen you for myself.
Jeg havde hørt om dig af Rygte, men nu har mit Øje set dig.
6 That is why I'm sorry for what I said, and I repent in dust and ashes.”
Derfor forkaster jeg, hvad jeg har sagt, og angrer i Støv og Aske.
7 After the Lord had finished speaking to Job he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends because you have not told the truth about me, as my servant Job did.
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 So take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job, and you shall offer a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray on your behalf and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your foolishness, because you have not told the truth about me, as my servant Job did.”
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, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite did what the Lord commanded them, and the Lord accepted Job's prayer.
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 The Lord restored Job's prosperity when he prayed for his friends, and gave him 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 all his brothers and sisters and friends he'd previously known came and ate with him at his home. They showed him sympathy and comforted him because of all the trouble the Lord had caused him. Each one of them gave him money and a gold ring.
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 The Lord blessed the last part of Job's life more than the first part. Now he owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 teams of oxen, and 1,000 female 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 Job also had seven sons and three daughters.
Og han fik syv Sønner og tre Døtre.
14 Job called the first daughter Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-Happuch.
Og han kaldte den førstes Navn Jemima og den andens Navn Kezia og den tredjes Navn Keren-Happuk.
15 Nowhere in all the land were there women as beautiful as Job's daughters, and Job gave them the same inheritance as 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 Job lived 140 years after this, seeing his children, and grandchildren, in fact four generations.
Og Job levede derefter hundrede og fyrretyve Aar og saa sine Børn og sine Børnebørn i fjerde Slægt.
17 Then Job died at an old age, having lived a very full life.
Og Job døde, gammel og mæt af Dage.
