Job

42

1Then Job answered Yahweh,
1Da svarte Job Herren og sa:
2“I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.
2Jeg vet at du kan alt, og at ingen tanke er umulig å utføre for dig.
3You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know.
3Hvem er den som vil formørke ditt råd i uforstand? Derfor må jeg si: Jeg har talt om det jeg ikke forstod, om det som var mig for underlig, og som jeg ikke skjønte.
4You said, ‘Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.’
4Men hør nu, så vil jeg tale! Jeg vil spørre dig, og du skal lære mig.
5I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.
5Bare hvad ryktet meldte, hadde jeg hørt om dig; men nu har mitt øie sett dig.
6Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”
6Derfor kaller jeg alt tilbake og angrer i støv og aske.
7It was so, that after Yahweh had spoken these words to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
7Da Herren hadde talt disse ord til Job, sa han til Elifas fra Teman: Min vrede er optendt mot dig og dine to venner; for I har ikke talt rett om mig, som min tjener Job.
8Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls 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 I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.”
8Ta derfor syv okser og syv værer og gå til min tjener Job og ofre dem som brennoffer for eder! Og min tjener Job skal bede for eder; bare ham vil jeg bønnhøre, så jeg ikke gjør med eder efter eders uforstand; for I har ikke talt rett om mig, som min tjener Job.
9So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did what Yahweh commanded them, and Yahweh accepted Job.
9Så gikk Elifas fra Teman og Bildad fra Suah og Sofar fra Na'ama og gjorde som Herren hadde talt til dem; og Herren bønnhørte Job.
10Yahweh turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends. Yahweh gave Job twice as much as he had before.
10Og Herren gjorde ende på Jobs ulykke, da han bad for sine venner; og Herren øket alt det Job hadde hatt, til det dobbelte.
11Then came there to him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that Yahweh had brought on him. Everyone also gave him a piece of money, and everyone a ring of gold.
11Og alle hans brødre kom til ham, og alle hans søstre og alle som hadde kjent ham før, og de åt med ham i hans hus og viste ham medynk og trøstet ham for all den ulykke Herren hadde latt komme over ham; og de gav ham hver en kesitte* og hver en gullring. / {* 1MO 33, 19.}
12So Yahweh blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.
12Og Herren velsignet Jobs siste dager mere enn hans første*, og han fikk fjorten tusen får og seks tusen kameler og tusen par okser og tusen aseninner. / {* JBS 1, 3; 8, 7.}
13He had also seven sons and three daughters.
13Og han fikk syv sønner og tre døtre.
14He called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren Happuch.
14Den ene datter kalte han Jemima, den annen Kesia og den tredje Keren-Happuk.
15In all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job. Their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
15Så fagre kvinner som Jobs døtre fantes ikke i hele landet; og deres far gav dem arv blandt deres brødre.
16After this Job lived one hundred forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, to four generations.
16Derefter levde Job hundre og firti år, og han så sine barn og barnebarn i fjerde ledd.
17So Job died, being old and full of days.
17Og Job døde, gammel og mett av dager.
