Job 42
1 And Job answers YHWH and says:
Da svarede Job Herren og sagde:
2 “You have known that [for] all things You are able, And no purpose is withheld from You.
Jeg ved, at du formaar alting, og at ingen Tanke er dig forment.
3 [You said], Who [is] this hiding counsel without knowledge? Therefore, I have declared, and do not understand, Too wonderful for me, and I do not 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 Please hear, and I speak; [You said], I ask you, and you cause Me to know.
Hør dog, og jeg vil tale; jeg vil spørge dig, og undervis du mig!
5 By the hearing of the ear I heard You, And now my eye has seen You.
Jeg havde hørt om dig af Rygte, men nu har mit Øje set dig.
6 Therefore I loathe [it], And I have sighed on dust and ashes.”
Derfor forkaster jeg, hvad jeg har sagt, og angrer i Støv og Aske.
7 And it comes to pass after YHWH’s speaking these words to Job, that YHWH says to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My anger has burned against you and against your two friends, because you have not spoken correctly concerning Me, 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 seven bullocks and seven rams for yourselves, and go to My servant Job, and you have caused a burnt-offering to ascend for yourselves; and Job My servant prays for you, for surely I accept his face, so as not to do folly with you, because you have not spoken correctly concerning Me, 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 And they go—Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, Zophar the Naamathite—and do as YHWH has spoken to them; and YHWH accepts the face of Job.
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 YHWH has turned [to] the captivity of Job in his praying for his friends, and YHWH adds [to] all that Job has—to double.
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 all his brothers come to him, and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and they eat bread with him in his house, and bemoan him, and comfort him concerning all the calamity that YHWH had brought on him, and they each gave to him one kesitah, and each one ring 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 YHWH has blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning, and he has fourteen thousand of a flock, and six thousand camels, and one thousand pairs of oxen, and one thousand 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 And he has seven sons and three daughters;
Og han fik syv Sønner og tre Døtre.
14 and he calls the name of the first Jemima, and the name of the second Kezia, 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 have not been found women [as] beautiful as the daughters of Job in all the land, and their father gives to them an inheritance in the midst of 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 lives after this one hundred and forty years, and sees his sons, and his sons’ sons, four generations;
Og Job levede derefter hundrede og fyrretyve Aar og saa sine Børn og sine Børnebørn i fjerde Slægt.
17 and Job dies, aged and satisfied [with] days.
Og Job døde, gammel og mæt af Dage.
