Job 42
1 Then Job answered Yahweh and said,
Så svarede Job HERREN og sagde:
2 “I know that you can do all things, that no purpose of yours can be stopped.
"Jeg ved, at du magter alt, for dig er intet umuligt!
3 'Who is this who without knowledge conceals plans?' Indeed, I have spoken things that I did not understand, things too difficult for me to understand, which I did not know about.
"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 You said to me, 'Listen, now, and I will speak; I will ask you things, and you will tell me.'
Hør dog, og jeg vil tale, jeg vil spørge, og du skal lære mig!
5 I had heard about you by my ear's hearing, but now my eye sees you.
Jeg havde kun hørt et Rygte om dig, men nu har mit Øje set dig;
6 So I despise myself; I repent in dust and ashes.”
jeg tager det derfor tilbage og angrer i Støv og Aske!
7 It came about that after he had said these words to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has done.
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 Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer, so that I may not deal with you after your folly. You have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has done.”
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 So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as Yahweh had commanded them, and Yahweh accepted Job.
Så gik Temaniten Elifaz, Sjuhiten Bildad og Na'amatiten Zofar hen og gjorde, som HERREN havde sagt, og HERREN bønhørte Job.
10 When Job prayed for his friends, Yahweh restored his fortunes. Yahweh gave him twice as much as he had possessed before.
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 Then all Job's brothers, and all his sisters, and all who knew him before, came to him and ate food with him in his house. They showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the disasters that Yahweh had brought upon him, and each of them gave Job a piece of silver and a 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 Yahweh blessed the final end of Job's life more than the first; he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke 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 He also had seven sons and three daughters.
Og han fik syv Sønner og tre Døtre,
14 He named the first daughter Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-Happuch.
og han kaldte den ene Jemima, den anden Kezia og den tredje Keren-Happuk.
15 In all the land no women were found as beautiful as Job's daughters. Their father gave them an inheritance along with their brothers.
Så smukke Kvinder som Jobs Døtre fandtes ingensteds på Jorden; og deres Fader gav dem Arv imellem deres Brødre:
16 After this, Job lived 140 years; he saw his sons and his sons' sons, up to four generations.
Siden levede Job 140 År og så sine Børn og Børnebørn, fire Slægtled.
17 Then Job died, being old and full of days.
Så døde Job gammel og mæt af Dage.
