Jobs 42
1 Då svara Job Herren og sagde:
Then Job answered the LORD,
2 «Eg skynar at du allting kann; for deg er ingen plan umogleg.
"I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.
3 Kven vil uvitug myrkja rådgjerd? Eg tala som ein fåvis mann um under som eg ikkje fata.
You 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 did not know.
4 Å høyr no, lat meg få tala! Eg vil deg spyrja, lær du meg!
You said, 'Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.'
5 Fyrr høyrd’ eg berre gjete deg, no ser eg deg med eigne augo.
I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.
6 Difor eg tek det i meg att og tregar djupt i mold og oska.»
Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in 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.
It was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, the LORD 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.
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 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."
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 what 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.
The LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends. 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 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 the LORD had permitted on him. And each of them gave him a kesitah and a gold ring.
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. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.
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.
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.
In all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job. 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.
After this Job lived one hundred forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, to four generations.
17 Og Job døydde gamall og mett av dagar.
So Job died, being old and full of days.
