Job 42

Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

Så svarede Job HERREN og sagde:

I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.

"Jeg ved, at du magter alt, for dig er intet umuligt!

Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

"Hvem fordunkler mit Råd med Ord, som er uden Indsigt?" Derfor: jeg talte uden Forstand om noget, som var mig for underfuldt, og som jeg ej kendte til.

Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

Hør dog, og jeg vil tale, jeg vil spørge, og du skal lære mig!

I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.

Jeg havde kun hørt et Rygte om dig, men nu har mit Øje set dig;

Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.

jeg tager det derfor tilbage og angrer i Støv og Aske!

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.

Men efter at HERREN havde talet disse Ord til Job, sagde han til Temaniten Elifaz: "Min Vrede er blusset op mod dig og dine to Venner, fordi I ikke talte rettelig om mig som min Tjener Job!

Therefore take unto you now 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: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.

Tag eder derfor syv Tyre og syv Vædre og gå til min Tjener Job og bring et Brændoffer for eder. Og min Tjener Job skal gå i Forbøn for eder, thi ham vil jeg bønhøre, så jeg ikke gør en Ulykke på eder, fordi I ikke talte rettelig om mig som min Tjener Job!"

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.

Så gik Temaniten Elifaz, Sjuhiten Bildad og Na'amatiten Zofar hen og gjorde, som HERREN havde sagt, og HERREN bønhørte Job.

And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

Og HERREN vendte Jobs Skæbne, da han gik i Forbøn for sine Venner; og HERREN gav Job alt, hvad han havde ejet, tvefold igen.

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 over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.

Så kom alle hans Brødre og Søstre og alle, der kendte ham tilforn, og holdt Måltid med ham i hans Hus, og de viste ham deres Medfølelse og trøstede ham over al den Ulykke, HERREN havde bragt over ham, og de gav ham hver en Kesita og en Guldring.

So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.

Og HERREN velsignede Jobs sidste Tid mere end hans første. Han fk 14000 Stykker Småkvæg, og 1000 Aseninder.

He had also seven sons and three daughters.

Og han fik syv Sønner og tre Døtre,

And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren–happuch.

og han kaldte den ene Jemima, den anden Kezia og den tredje Keren-Happuk.

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.

Så smukke Kvinder som Jobs Døtre fandtes ingensteds på Jorden; og deres Fader gav dem Arv imellem deres Brødre:

After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.

Siden levede Job 140 År og så sine Børn og Børnebørn, fire Slægtled.

So Job died, being old and full of days.

Så døde Job gammel og mæt af Dage.
