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 every thing, and that no purpose can be withholden 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 have I uttered that which I understood not, things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4 Å høyr no, lat meg få tala! Eg vil deg spyrja, lær du meg!
Hear, I beseech Thee, and I will speak; I will demand of Thee, and declare Thou unto me.
5 Fyrr høyrd’ eg berre gjete deg, no ser eg deg med eigne augo.
I had heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear; but now mine eye seeth Thee;
6 Difor eg tek det i meg att og tregar djupt i mold og oska.»
Wherefore I abhor my words, and repent, seeing I am 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 it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite: 'My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken of Me the thing that is right, 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.»
Now therefore, take unto you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt-offering; and My servant Job shall pray for you; for him will I accept, that I do not unto you aught unseemly; for ye have not spoken of Me the thing that is right, 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 Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them; and the LORD accepted Job.
10 No vende Herren lagnaden for Job, då han bad for venerne sine; og alt det Job hadde ått, fekk han tvifald att.
And the LORD changed the fortune 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.
Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house; and they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him; every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one a ring of gold.
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.
So 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;
He had also 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 name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
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 in all the land were no women found so fair 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 after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
17 Og Job døydde gamall og mett av dagar.
So Job died, being old and full of days.
