Job 42
1 Then Iob answered the Lord, and sayd,
Saa svarede Job HERREN og sagde:
2 I knowe that thou canst doe all things, and that there is no thought hidde from thee.
Jeg ved, at du magter alt, for dig er intet umuligt!
3 Who is hee that hideth counsell without knowledge? therefore haue I spoken that I vnderstood not, euen things too wonderfull for me, and which I knew not.
»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.
4 Heare, I beseech thee, and I will speake: I will demaunde of thee, and declare thou vnto me.
Hør dog, og jeg vil tale, jeg vil spørge, og du skal lære mig!
5 I haue heard of thee by the hearing of the eare, but now mine eye seeth thee.
Jeg havde kun hørt et Rygte om dig, men nu har mit Øje set dig;
6 Therefore I abhorre my selfe, and repent in dust and ashes.
jeg tager det derfor tilbage og angrer i Støv og Aske!
7 Now after that the Lord had spoken these wordes vnto Iob, ye Lord also said vnto Eliphaz ye Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for yee haue not spoken of me the thing that is right, like my seruant Iob.
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 Therefore take vnto you nowe seuen bullockes, and seuen rammes, and go to my seruant Iob, and offer vp for your selues a burnt offring, and my seruant Iob shall pray for you: for I wil accept him, least I should put you to shame, because ye haue not spoken of me the thing, which is right, like my seruant Iob.
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!«
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the Lord had saide vnto them, and the Lord accepted Iob.
Saa gik Temaniten Elifaz, Sjuhiten Bildad og Na'amatiten Zofar hen og gjorde, som HERREN havde sagt, og HERREN bønhørte Job.
10 Then the Lord turned the captiuitie of Iob, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gaue Iob twise so much as he had before.
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 Then came vnto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had bene of his acquaintance before, and did eate bread with him in his house, and had compassion of him, and comforted him for al the euil, that the Lord had brought vpon him, and euery man gaue him a piece of money, and euery one an earing of golde.
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.
12 So the Lord blessed the last dayes of Iob more then the first: for he had foureteene thousand sheepe, and sixe thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand shee asses.
Og HERREN velsignede Jobs sidste Tid mere end hans første. Han fik 14 000 Stykker Smaakvæg, og 1000 Aseninder.
13 He had also seue sonnes, and three daughters.
Og han fik syv Sønner og tre Døtre,
14 And he called the name of one Iemimah, and the name of the seconde Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch.
og han kaldte den ene Jemima, den anden Kezia og den tredje Keren-Happuk.
15 In all the lande were no women found so faire as the daughters of Iob, and their father gaue them inheritaunce among their brethren.
Saa smukke Kvinder som Jobs Døtre fandtes ingensteds paa Jorden; og deres Fader gav dem Arv imellem deres Brødre:
16 And after this liued Iob an hundreth and fourtie yeres, and sawe his sonnes, and his sonnes sonnes, euen foure generations.
Siden levede Job 140 Aar og saa sine Børn og Børnebørn, fire Slægtled.
17 So Iob dyed, being old, and full of dayes.
Saa døde Job gammel og mæt af Dage.
