Job 42
1 Und Job erwiderte dem Herrn und sprach:
Then Job replied to Yahweh. [He said],
2 "Ich weiß es, daß Du alles kannst, daß kein Gedanke Dir verschlossen.
“I know that you can do everything and that no one can stop you from doing what you want to do.
3 "Wer ist nur der, der Pläne dunkel findet, unverständlich?" Deshalb, das sehe ich jetzt ein, im Unverstande habe ich gesprochen von Dingen, viel zu wunderbar für mich, und die ich nicht begriffen.
[You asked me], ‘(Who are you, who by speaking ignorantly, question what I plan to do?/You have no right to question what I plan to do by speaking ignorantly.)’ [RHQ] It is true that I spoke about things that I did not understand, things that are very wonderful/marvelous, and therefore I am not able to know them.
4 "So höre! Laß mich reden! Ich will Dich fragen, Du unterweise mich!"
You said to me, ‘Listen while I talk to you. I want to ask you some questions, so prepare yourself to answer them.’
5 Vom Hörensagen hatte ich von Dir gehört; nun aber hat mein Auge Dich gesehen.
I had heard about you previously, but now [it is as though] I have seen you with my own eyes.
6 Drum widerrufe und bereue ich, auf Staub und Asche."
Therefore I (am ashamed of/withdraw) what I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show that I am sorry [for what I said].”
7 Nachdem der Herr mit Job also gesprochen, verkündete der Herr dem Eliphaz von Teman: "Mein Zorn ist wider dich entbrannt und deine beiden Freunde hier. Ihr habt nicht recht von mir geredet, so wie mein Diener Job.
After Yahweh said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz, “I am angry with you and your two friends, [Bildad and Zophar], because what my servant Job said about me was right/true, but what you have spoken about me was not right/true.
8 So nehmet sieben Farren euch und sieben Widder! Und geht zu meinem Diener Job und bringt für euch Brandopfer dar! Mein Diener Job soll für euch beten! Mich hält die Rücksicht auf ihn ab, in übereilter Art an euch zu handeln. Ihr habt nicht recht von mir geredet, so wie mein Diener Job."
So now you must take to Job seven young bulls and seven rams and [kill them and] burn them on the altar as a sacrifice for yourselves. Then Job will pray for you, and I will do what he requests me to do, [and I will forgive you for speaking wrongly about me]. I will not punish you, even though you deserve to be punished, because what you said about me was not right/true, but what Job said about me was right/true.”
9 Da gingen Eliphaz von Teman, Bildad von Schuach und von Naama Sophar hin und taten, wie sie der Herr geheißen. Der Herr erhob alsdann Jobs Angesicht,
So Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar did what Yahweh commanded them to do, and Yahweh did what Job requested him to do [for the three of them].
10 er hatte doch Jobs Los gewendet, weil er für andere gebetet hatte. Und doppelt soviel gab der Herr dem Job, als früher er besessen hatte.
After Job prayed for his three friends, Yahweh [healed him and] caused him to become rich again. Yahweh gave him twice as many things as he had before.
11 Da kamen alle seine Brüder zu ihm und die Schwestern und alle seine alten Freunde und speisten dann mit ihm in seinem Hause, bezeugten ihm ihr Mitleid und sprachen ihm Trost zu ob all des Unglücks, das über ihn der Herr gebracht, und jeder schenkte ihm nun einen Beutel und einen goldenen Ring.
Then all his brothers and sisters, and all the people who had known him before, came to his house, and they ate a meal together. They consoled/comforted [DOU] him because of all the troubles that Yahweh had allowed him to experience.
12 Der Herr gab Job jetzt noch mehr Glück, als er zuvor besessen; er brachte es auf 14.000 Schafe, 6.000 Kamele, 1.000 Joch Rinder und 1.000 Eselinnen.
Then Yahweh blessed Job in the second half of his life more than he had blessed him in the first half of his life. He now acquired/owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 2,000 oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
13 Und er bekam auch zweimal sieben Söhne, sowie drei Töchter.
And he also had seven [more] sons and three [more] daughters.
14 Die erste nannte er "das Täubchen", die zweite "Wohlgeruch", die dritte "Schminkhörnchen".
He named the first daughter Jemimah, he named the second daughter Keziah, and he named the third daughter Keren-Happuch.
15 Im ganzen Lande fand man keine solch' schönen Frauen wie die Töchter Jobs. Ihr Vater gab auch ihnen Erbteil mit den Brüdern.
In all of [Uz] land there were no young women who were as beautiful as the daughters of Job, and Job declared that they would inherit some of his possessions, just like their brothers would inherit some.
16 Nach diesen Zeiten lebte Job noch hundertvierzig Jahre, sah Kinder noch und Kindeskinder, im ganzen vier Geschlechter.
After that, Job lived 140 more years. Before he died, he (saw/enjoyed being with) his great-great-grandchildren.
17 Und Job starb alt und lebenssatt.
He was very old [DOU] when he died.
