Job 2
1 And the day is, that sons of God come to station themselves by YHWH, and there also comes Satan in their midst to station himself by YHWH.
Og det skete en Dag, der Guds Børn kom for at fremstille sig for Herren, da kom ogsaa Satan midt iblandt dem for at fremstille sig for Herren.
2 And YHWH says to Satan, “From where have you come?” And Satan answers YHWH and says, “From going to and fro in the land, and from walking up and down in it.”
Da sagde Herren til Satan: Hvorfra kommer du? og Satan svarede Herren og sagde: Fra at gaa omkring i Landet og vandre om derudi.
3 And YHWH says to Satan, “Have you set your heart to My servant Job because there is none like him in the land, a man perfect and upright, fearing God and turning aside from evil? And still he is keeping hold on his integrity, and you move Me against him to swallow him up for nothing!”
Og Herren sagde til Satan: Har du givet Agt paa min Tjener Job? thi der er ingen som han i Landet, en oprigtig og retskaffen Mand, som frygter Gud og viger fra det onde, og han holder endnu fast ved sin Retsindighed; men du har tilskyndet mig imod ham at ødelægge ham uden Aarsag.
4 And Satan answers YHWH and says, “A skin for a skin, and all that a man has he gives for his life.
Da svarede Satan Herren og sagde: Hud for Hud, ja alt det, en Mand har, giver han for sit Liv.
5 Yet, put forth Your hand now, and strike to his bone and to his flesh—if not, he blesses You to Your face!”
Dog udræk nu din Haand og rør ved hans Ben og hans Kød; hvad gælder det, om han ikke skal fornægte dig lige for dit Ansigt?
6 And YHWH says to Satan, “Behold, he [is] in your hand; only take care of his life.”
Og Herren sagde til Satan: Se, han være i din Haand; dog var hans Liv!
7 And Satan goes forth from the presence of YHWH, and strikes Job with a severe ulcer from the sole of his foot to his crown.
Da for Satan ud fra Herrens Ansigt og slog Job med onde Bylder fra hans Fodsaal og indtil hans Isse.
8 And he takes to him a potsherd to scrape himself with it, and he is sitting in the midst of the ashes.
Og han tog sig et Potteskaar til at skrabe sig med, og han sad midt i Asken.
9 And his wife says to him, “You are still keeping hold on your integrity: bless God and die.”
Og hans Hustru sagde til ham: Holder du endnu fast ved din Retsindighed? velsign Gud og dø!
10 And he says to her, “As one of the foolish women speaks, you speak; indeed, do we receive the good from God, and we do not receive the bad?” In all this Job has not sinned with his lips.
Men han sagde til hende: Du taler, ligesom en af de daarlige Kvinder taler; skulde vi alene tage imod det gode af Gud og ikke tage imod det onde? I alt dette syndede Job ikke med sine Læber.
11 And three of the friends of Job hear of all this evil that has come on him, and they each come in from his place—Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite—and they have met together to come to bemoan him, and to comfort him;
Og der Jobs tre Venner hørte al den Ulykke, som var kommen over ham, da kom de, hver fra sit Sted: Themaniten Elifas og Sukiten Bildad og Naamathiten Zofar, og de forenede sig med hverandre for at komme at vise ham Medynk og trøste ham.
12 and they lift up their eyes from afar and have not discerned him, and they lift up their voice and weep, and each tears his robe, and sprinkle dust on their heads—heavenward.
Men der de opløftede deres Øjne langtfra, da kendte de ham ikke, og de opløftede deres Røst og græd, og de sønderrev hver sin Kappe, og de kastede Støv paa deres Hoveder op imod Himmelen.
13 And they sit with him on the earth seven days and seven nights, and there is none speaking to him a word when they have seen that the pain has been very great.
Og de sade hos ham paa Jorden syv Dage og syv Nætter, og ingen talte et Ord til ham; thi de saa, at Pinen var saare stor.
