Job 42

1 Then Job responded to Yahweh, and said: —

Då svara Job Herren og sagde:

2 I know that, all things, thou canst do, and that no purpose can be withholden from thee.

«Eg skynar at du allting kann; for deg er ingen plan umogleg.

3 Who is it that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore, have I declared, but not understood, things too wonderful for me, which I could not know.

Kven vil uvitug myrkja rådgjerd? Eg tala som ein fåvis mann um under som eg ikkje fata.

4 Hear thou, I pray thee, and, I, will speak, I will ask thee, and inform thou me.

Å høyr no, lat meg få tala! Eg vil deg spyrja, lær du meg!

5 By the hearing of the ear, had I heard thee, but, now, mine own eye, hath seen thee.

Fyrr høyrd’ eg berre gjete deg, no ser eg deg med eigne augo.

6 For this cause, I tremble and repent, on dust and ashes.

Difor eg tek det i meg att og tregar djupt i mold og oska.»

7 And it came to pass, after Yahweh had spoken these words unto Job, that Yahweh, said unto Eliphaz the Temanite, Kindled is mine anger against thee and against thy two friends, for ye have not spoken concerning me the thing that is right, like my servant Job.

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.

8 Now, therefore, take unto you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go unto my servant Job, and ye shall offer up an ascending-sacrifice in your own behalf, and, Job my servant, shall pray over you, —for, him, will I accept, that I may not deal out to you disgrace, because ye have not spoken concerning me the thing that is right, like my servant Job.

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.»

9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite [and] Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according to that which Yahweh had spoken unto them, —and Yahweh accepted Job.

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.

10 And, Yahweh himself, turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed in behalf of his friends, —and Yahweh increased all that Job had possessed, unto twice as much.

No vende Herren lagnaden for Job, då han bad for venerne sine; og alt det Job hadde ått, fekk han tvifald att.

11 Then came unto him all his brethren and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and they did eat bread with him in his house, —and shewed sympathy with him and comforted him, over all the calamity which Yahweh had brought upon him, —and they gave him, every one a weight of money, and every one, a ring of gold.

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.

12 And, Yahweh, blessed the latter end of Job, more than his beginning, —and so he came to have fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

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.

13 And he came to have seven sons, and three daughters;

Og han fekk sju søner og tri døtter;

14 and he called the name of the first Jemima, and the name of the second Kezia, —and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.

den eine av deim kalla han Jemima, den andre Kesia og den tridje Keren-Happuk.

15 And there were found no women so fair as the daughters of Job, in all the land, —and their father gave them an inheritance, in the midst of their brethren.

Det fanst ikkje so væne kvinnor i heile landet som døtterne åt Job, og far deira let deim erva til liks med brørne deira.

16 And Job lived, after this, a hundred and forty years, —and saw his sons and his sons’ sons, four generations.

Etter dette livde Job hundrad og fyrti år, og såg born og barneborn, fire ættleder.

17 So Job died, old and satisfied with days.

Og Job døydde gamall og mett av dagar.
