1 Så svarede Job HERREN og sagde:

1 Then Job answered the Lord and said,

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

2 “I know that You can do all things,And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.

3 "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.

3 ‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand,Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.”

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

4 ‘Hear, now, and I will speak;I will ask You, and You instruct me.’

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

5 “I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear;But now my eye sees You;

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

6 Therefore I retract,And I repent in dust and ashes.”

7 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!

7 It came about after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, because you have not spoken of Me what is right as My servant Job has.

8 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!"

8 Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves, and My servant Job will pray for you. For I will accept him so that I may not do with you according to your folly, because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.”

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

9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the Lord told them; and the Lord accepted Job.

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

10 The Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the Lord increased all that Job had twofold.

11 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.

11 Then all his brothers and all his sisters and all who had known him before came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house; and they consoled him and comforted him for all the adversities that the Lord had brought on him. And each one gave him one piece of money, and each a ring of gold.

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

12 The Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; and he had 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels and 1,000 yoke of oxen and 1,000 female donkeys.

13 Og han fik syv Sønner og tre Døtre,

13 He had seven sons and three daughters.

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

14 He named the first Jemimah, and the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch.

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

15 In all the land no women were found so fair as Job’s daughters; and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.

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

16 After this, Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons and his grandsons, four generations.

17 Så døde Job gammel og mæt af Dage. 

17 And Job died, an old man and full of days.
