Job 42
1 Then Job answered Yahweh and said,
Då svara Job Herren og sagde:
2 “I know that you can do all things, that no purpose of yours can be stopped.
«Eg skynar at du allting kann; for deg er ingen plan umogleg.
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.
Kven vil uvitug myrkja rådgjerd? Eg tala som ein fåvis mann um under som eg ikkje fata.
4 You said to me, 'Listen, now, and I will speak; I will ask you things, and you will tell me.'
Å høyr no, lat meg få tala! Eg vil deg spyrja, lær du meg!
5 I had heard about you by my ear's hearing, but now my eye sees you.
Fyrr høyrd’ eg berre gjete deg, no ser eg deg med eigne augo.
6 So I despise myself; I repent in dust and ashes.”
Difor eg tek det i meg att og tregar djupt i mold og oska.»
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.
Då no Herren hadde tala desse ordi til Job, sagde han til Elifaz frå Teman: «Eg er harm på deg og dei tvo venerne dine, av di de hev ikkje tala rett um meg soleis som Job, tenaren min.
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.”
Tak difor sju uksar og sju verar, og gakk til Job, tenaren min, og ofra brennoffer for dykk; og lat Job, tenaren min, beda for dykk! For berre honom vil eg taka til nåde, so eg ikkje gjer ulukka på dykk, for de ikkje hev tala rett um meg soleis som Job, tenaren min.»
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as Yahweh had commanded them, and Yahweh accepted Job.
Og Elifaz frå Teman og Bildad frå Suah og Sofar frå Na’ama gjekk av stad og gjorde so som Herren hadde sagt til deim, og Herren høyrde Jobs bøn.
10 When Job prayed for his friends, Yahweh restored his fortunes. Yahweh gave him twice as much as he had possessed before.
No vende Herren lagnaden for Job, då han bad for venerne sine; og alt det Job hadde ått, fekk han tvifald att.
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.
Og alle brørne og systerne hans kom til honom, og like eins alle dei kjenningar han fyrr hadde havt, og dei åt og drakk med honom i huset hans. Og synte honom medynk og trøysta honom for all den ulukka som Herren ført yver honom, og kvar av deim gav honom ein gullpening og ein gullring.
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 velsigna den siste livetidi åt Job meir enn den fyrste; han fekk fjortan tusund sauer og seks tusund kamelar og tusund par uksar og tusund asnor.
13 He also had seven sons and three daughters.
Og han fekk sju søner og tri døtter;
14 He named the first daughter Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-Happuch.
den eine av deim kalla han Jemima, den andre Kesia og den tridje 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.
Det fanst ikkje so væne kvinnor i heile landet som døtterne åt Job, og far deira let deim erva til liks med brørne deira.
16 After this, Job lived 140 years; he saw his sons and his sons' sons, up to four generations.
Etter dette livde Job hundrad og fyrti år, og såg born og barneborn, fire ættleder.
17 Then Job died, being old and full of days.
Og Job døydde gamall og mett av dagar.
