Jobs 42
1 Då svara Job Herren og sagde:
Then Job answered the Lord, and said:
2 «Eg skynar at du allting kann; for deg er ingen plan umogleg.
I know that thou canst do all things, and no thought is hid from thee.
3 Kven vil uvitug myrkja rådgjerd? Eg tala som ein fåvis mann um under som eg ikkje fata.
Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have spoken unwisely, and things that above measure exceeded my knowledge.
4 Å høyr no, lat meg få tala! Eg vil deg spyrja, lær du meg!
Hear, and I will speak: I will ask thee, and do thou tell me.
5 Fyrr høyrd’ eg berre gjete deg, no ser eg deg med eigne augo.
With the hearing of the ear, I have heard thee, but now my eye seeth thee.
6 Difor eg tek det i meg att og tregar djupt i mold og oska.»
Therefore I reprehend myself, and do penance in dust and ashes.
7 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.
And after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Themanite: My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends, because you have not spoken the thing that is right before my, as my servant Job hath.
8 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.»
Take unto you therefore seven oxen, and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer for yourselves a holocaust: and my servant Job shall pray for you: his face I will accept, that folly be not imputed to you: for you have not spoken right things before me, as my servant Job hath.
9 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.
So Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Sophar the Naamathite went, and did as the Lord had spoken to them, and the Lord accepted the face of Job.
10 No vende Herren lagnaden for Job, då han bad for venerne sine; og alt det Job hadde ått, fekk han tvifald att.
The Lord also was turned at the penance of Job, when he prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11 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.
And all his brethren came to him, and all his sisters, and all that knew him before, and they ate bread with him in his house: and bemoaned him, and comforted him upon all the evil that God had brought upon him. And every man gave him one ewe, and one earring of fold.
12 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.
And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
13 Og han fekk sju søner og tri døtter;
And he had seven sons, and three daughters.
14 den eine av deim kalla han Jemima, den andre Kesia og den tridje Keren-Happuk.
And he called the names of one Dies, and the name of the second Cassia, and the name of the third Cornustibil.
15 Det fanst ikkje so væne kvinnor i heile landet som døtterne åt Job, og far deira let deim erva til liks med brørne deira.
And there were not found in all the earth women so beautiful as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
16 Etter dette livde Job hundrad og fyrti år, og såg born og barneborn, fire ættleder.
And Job lived after these things, a hundred and forty years, and he saw his children, and his children’s children, unto the fourth generation,
17 Og Job døydde gamall og mett av dagar.
and he died an old man, and full of days.
