Job 2
1 And it was the day and they came [the] sons of God to present themselves on Yahweh and he came also the adversary in midst of them to present himself on Yahweh.
Nu hændte det en Dag, at Guds Sønner kom og traadte frem for HERREN, og iblandt dem kom ogsaa Satan og traadte frem for ham.
2 And he said Yahweh to the adversary where? from this are you coming and he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said from roving about on the earth and from going about on it.
HERREN spurgte Satan: »Hvor kommer du fra?« Satan svarede HERREN: »Jeg har gennemvanket Jorden paa Kryds og tværs.«
3 And he said Yahweh to the adversary ¿ have you set heart your to servant my Job for there not [is] like him on the earth a man blameless and upright fearing God and [who] turns aside from evil and still he [is] keeping hold on integrity his and you incited me against him to ruin him without cause.
HERREN spurgte da Satan: »Har du lagt Mærke til min Tjener Job? Der findes ingen som han paa Jorden, saa from og retsindig en Mand, som frygter Gud og viger fra det onde. Endnu holder han fast ved sin Fromhed, og uden Grund har du ægget mig til at ødelægge ham!«
4 And he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said skin for skin and all that [belongs] to the man he will give for life his.
Men Satan svarede HERREN: »Hud for Hud! En Mand giver alt, hvad han ejer, for sit Liv!
5 But stretch out please hand your and touch bone his and flesh his if not to face your he will bless you.
Men ræk engang din Haand ud og rør ved hans Ben og Kød! Sandelig, han vil forbande dig lige op i dit Ansigt!«
6 And he said Yahweh to the adversary there he [is] in hand your surely life his preserve.
Da sagde HERREN til Satan: »Se, han er i din Haand; kun skal du skaane hans Liv!«
7 And he went out the adversary from with [the] presence of Yahweh and he struck Job with boil[s] bad from [the] sole of foot his (and to *Q(K)*) scalp his.
Saa gik Satan bort fra HERRENS Aasyn, og han slog Job med ondartede Bylder fra Fodsaal til Isse.
8 And he took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with it and he [was] sitting in [the] midst the ash[es].
Og Job tog sig et Potteskaar til at skrabe sig med, medens han sad i Askedyngen.
9 And she said to him wife his [are] still? you keeping hold on integrity your bless God and die.
Da sagde hans Hustru til ham: »Holder du endnu fast ved din Fromhed? Forband Gud og dø!«
10 And he said to her as speaks one of the foolish women you are speaking also the good will we accept? from with God and the evil not will we accept? in all this not he sinned Job with lips his.
Men han svarede hende: »Du taler som en Daare! Skulde vi tage imod det gode fra Gud, men ikke imod det onde?« I alt dette syndede Job ikke med sine Læber.
11 And they heard [the] three - [the] friends of Job all the evil this that it had come on him and they came each one from own place his Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite and they met by appointment together to come to show sympathy to him and to comfort him.
Da Jobs tre Venner hørte om al den Ulykke, der havde ramt ham, kom de hver fra sin Hjemstavn. Temaniten Elifaz, Sjuhiten Bildad og Na'amatiten Zofar, og aftalte at gaa hen og vise ham deres Medfølelse og trøste ham.
12 And they lifted up eyes their from a distance and not they recognized him and they lifted up voice their and they wept and they tore each one robe his and they sprinkled dust on heads their the heavens towards.
Men da de i nogen Frastand saa op og ikke kunde genkende ham, opløftede de deres Røst og græd, sønderrev alle tre deres Kapper og kastede Støv op over deres Hoveder.
13 And they sat with him to the ground seven days and seven nights and not [anyone was] speaking to him a word for they saw that it was great the pain exceedingly.
Saa sad de paa Jorden hos ham i syv Dage og syv Nætter, uden at nogen af dem mælede et Ord til ham; thi de saa, at hans Lidelser var saare store.
