Job 23
1 And he answered Job and he said.
Men Job svarede og sagde:
2 Also this day [the] rebellion of complaint my hand my it is heavy on groaning my.
Min Klage er end i Dag Genstridighed; min Haand ligger tungt over mit Suk.
3 Who? will he give I knew and I will find him I will come to place his.
Gid jeg kunde kende og finde ham og komme til hans faste Bolig!
4 Let me set in order before him a case and mouth my let me fill arguments.
Jeg vilde lægge Sagen frem for hans Ansigt og fylde min Mund med Bevisninger.
5 I want to know [the] words [which] he will answer me and I want to understand what? will he say to me.
Jeg vilde gerne vide de Ord, som han kunde svare mig, og forstaa, hvad han vilde sige mig.
6 ¿ With greatness of power will he conduct a case with me not surely he he will put on me.
Mon han vilde trætte med mig i sin store Kraft? nej, han vilde kun agte paa mig.
7 There an upright [person] [will be] reasoning with him and I will deliver to perpetuity from judge my.
Da vilde en retfærdig gaa i Rette med ham, og for evigt vilde jeg gaa fri ud fra den, som dømmer mig.
8 Here! forward I go and there not [is] he and backwards and not I perceive him.
Se, vil jeg gaa fremad, da er han ikke der, eller tilbage, da mærker jeg ham ikke.
9 [the] left [side] When acts he and not I see [him] he turns [the] right [side] and not I see [him].
Gør han noget til venstre, da kan jeg ikke beskue ham; skjuler han sig til højre, da kan jeg ikke se ham.
10 That he knows [the] way with me he has tested me like gold I will come forth.
Thi han kender den Vej, som ligger for mig; prøver han mig, gaar jeg ud som Guldet.
11 On step his it has taken hold foot my way his I have kept and not I have turned aside.
Min Fod holdt fast ved hans Spor, jeg tog Vare paa hans Vej og afveg ikke.
12 [the] commandment of Lips his and not I have ceased more than portion my I have treasured up [the] words of mouth his.
Fra hans Læbers Bud er jeg heller ikke afvegen, jeg gemte hans Munds Tale fremfor min egen Lov.
13 And he [is] one and who? will he turn back him and [that which] self his it has desired and he has done.
Men staar han fast ved et, hvo vil da holde ham tilbage? hvad hans Sjæl har Lyst til, det gør han.
14 For he performs decree my and like them many [are] with him.
Thi han skal fuldkomme det, mig er beskikket, og mange saadanne Ting har han for.
15 There-fore of him I am terrified I consider and I may be in dread from him.
Derfor forfærdes jeg for hans Ansigt; tænker jeg efter, da frygter jeg for ham.
16 And God he has made faint heart my and [the] Almighty he has terrified me.
Og Gud har gjort mit Hjerte mistrøstigt, og den Almægtige har forfærdet mig,
17 For not I have been destroyed from before darkness and from before me it covers gloom.
fordi jeg ikke bortrykkedes fra Mørket, og han ikke har skjult Mulm for mit Ansigt.
