< Job 42 >
1 And Job answers YHWH and says:
Så 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 magter alt, for dig er intet umuligt!
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.
"Hvem fordunkler mit Råd 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 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, og du skal lære mig!
5 By the hearing of the ear I heard You, And now my eye has seen You.
Jeg havde kun hørt et Rygte om dig, men nu har mit Øje set dig;
6 Therefore I loathe [it], And I have sighed on dust and ashes.”
jeg tager det derfor tilbage 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.
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 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.”
Tag eder derfor syv Tyre og syv Vædre og gå til min Tjener Job og bring et Brændoffer for eder. Og min Tjener Job skal gå i Forbøn for eder, thi ham vil jeg bønhøre, så jeg ikke gør en Ulykke på eder, fordi I ikke talte rettelig om mig 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.
Så gik Temaniten Elifaz, Sjuhiten Bildad og Na'amatiten Zofar hen og gjorde, som HERREN havde sagt, og HERREN bønhørte Job.
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 Skæbne, da han gik i Forbøn for sine Venner; og HERREN gav Job alt, hvad han havde ejet, tvefold igen.
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.
Så kom alle hans Brødre og Søstre og alle, der kendte ham tilforn, og holdt Måltid 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 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 Tid mere end hans første. Han fk 14000 Stykker Småkvæg, og 1000 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 ene Jemima, den anden Kezia og den tredje 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.
Så smukke Kvinder som Jobs Døtre fandtes ingensteds på Jorden; og deres Fader gav dem Arv imellem deres Brødre:
16 And Job lives after this one hundred and forty years, and sees his sons, and his sons’ sons, four generations;
Siden levede Job 140 År og så sine Børn og Børnebørn, fire Slægtled.
17 and Job dies, aged and satisfied [with] days.
Så døde Job gammel og mæt af Dage.
