Job 42
1 Then answered Job unto the Lord, and said,
Da svarede Job Herren og sagde:
2 I acknowledge that thou art able to do every thing, and that no deep plan of thine can be restrained.
Jeg ved, at du formaar alting, og at ingen Tanke er dig forment.
3 Who is he that dareth to conceal [thy] counsel without knowledge? Truly I have spoken of what I understood not, of things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
„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 Oh do but hear [me], and I will indeed speak: I will ask of thee, and do thou inform me.
Hør dog, og jeg vil tale; jeg vil spørge dig, og undervis du mig!
5 I had only heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye hath seen thee.
Jeg havde hørt om dig af Rygte, men nu har mit Øje set dig.
6 Therefore I reject [what I have said], and repent; because I am dust and ashes.
Derfor forkaster jeg, hvad jeg har sagt, og angrer i Støv og Aske.
7 And it came to pass, after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Themanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; because ye have not spoken of me properly, like my servant Job.
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 And now take unto yourselves seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up a burnt-offering in your behalf; and my servant Job shall pray for you; for him alone will I receive favorably, so as not to deal with you after your folly; because ye have not spoken of me properly, like my servant Job.
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 Then went Eliphaz the Themanite and Bildad the Shuchite and Zophar the Na'amathite, and did in accordance with what the Lord had spoken to them: and the Lord received Job in favor.
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 the Lord brought back the captivity of Job, when he prayed in behalf of his friends; and the Lord increased all that Job had had twofold.
Og Herren vendte Jobs Fangenskab, der han havde bedet for sine Venner; og Herren forøgede alt det, Job havde haft, til det dobbelte.
11 And then came unto him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all that had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house; and they condoled with him, and comforted him for all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him; and they gave him, every one, a kessitah, and every one an earring 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 And the Lord 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-asses.
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 there were not found such handsome women as the daughters of Job in all the land; and their father gave them an 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 Job lived after this one hundred and forty years: and he 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 Then died Job, being old and full of days.
Og Job døde, gammel og mæt af Dage.
