Jobs 42
1 Då svara Job Herren og sagde:
Then answered Job unto the Lord, and said,
2 «Eg skynar at du allting kann; for deg er ingen plan umogleg.
I acknowledge that thou art able to do every thing, and that no deep plan of thine can be restrained.
3 Kven vil uvitug myrkja rådgjerd? Eg tala som ein fåvis mann um under som eg ikkje fata.
Who is he that dareth to conceal [thy] counsel without knowledge? Truly I have spoken of what I understood not, of things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4 Å høyr no, lat meg få tala! Eg vil deg spyrja, lær du meg!
Oh do but hear [me], and I will indeed speak: I will ask of thee, and do thou inform me.
5 Fyrr høyrd’ eg berre gjete deg, no ser eg deg med eigne augo.
I had only heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye hath seen thee.
6 Difor eg tek det i meg att og tregar djupt i mold og oska.»
Therefore I reject [what I have said], and repent; because 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 came to pass, after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Themanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; because ye have not spoken of me properly, like my servant Job.
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.»
And now take unto yourselves seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up a burnt-offering in your behalf; and my servant Job shall pray for you; for him alone will I receive favorably, so as not to deal with you after your folly; because ye have not spoken of me properly, like my servant Job.
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.
Then went Eliphaz the Themanite and Bildad the Shuchite and Zophar the Na'amathite, and did in accordance with what the Lord had spoken to them: and the Lord received Job in favor.
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 brought back the captivity of Job, when he prayed in behalf of his friends; and the Lord increased all that Job had had twofold.
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 then came unto him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all that had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house; and they condoled with him, and comforted him for all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him; and they gave him, every one, a kessitah, and every one an earring 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.
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;
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 there were not found such handsome women as the daughters of Job in all the land; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
16 Etter dette livde Job hundrad og fyrti år, og såg born og barneborn, fire ættleder.
And Job lived after this one hundred and forty years: and he saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
17 Og Job døydde gamall og mett av dagar.
Then died Job, being old and full of days.
