Job 17
1 My spirit is broken, my days are ended, the last resting-place is ready for me.
Semangatku patah, umurku telah habis, dan bagiku tersedia kuburan.
2 Truly, those who make sport of me are round about me, and my eyes become dark because of their bitter laughing.
Sesungguhnya, aku menjadi ejekan; mataku terpaksa menyaksikan tantangan mereka.
3 Be pleased, now, to be responsible for me to yourself; for there is no other who will put his hand in mine.
Biarlah Engkau menjadi jaminanku bagi-Mu sendiri! Siapa lagi yang dapat membuat persetujuan bagiku?
4 You have kept their hearts from wisdom: for this cause you will not give them honour.
Karena hati mereka telah Kaukatupkan bagi pengertian; itulah sebabnya Engkau mencegah mereka untuk menang.
5 As for him who is false to his friend for a reward, light will be cut off from the eyes of his children.
Barangsiapa mengadukan sahabatnya untuk mencari keuntungan, mata anak-anaknya akan menjadi rabun.
6 He has made me a word of shame to the peoples; I have become a mark for their sport.
Aku telah dijadikan sindiran di antara bangsa-bangsa, dan aku menjadi orang yang diludahi mukanya.
7 My eyes have become dark because of my pain, and all my body is wasted to a shade.
Mataku menjadi kabur karena pedih hati, segala anggota tubuhku seperti bayang-bayang.
8 The upright are surprised at this, and he who has done no wrong is troubled because of the evil-doers.
Orang-orang yang jujur tercengang karena hal itu, dan orang yang tidak bersalah naik pitam terhadap orang fasik.
9 Still the upright keeps on his way, and he who has clean hands gets new strength.
Meskipun begitu orang yang benar tetap pada jalannya, dan orang yang bersih tangannya bertambah-tambah kuat.
10 But come back, now, all of you, come; and I will not see a wise man among you.
Tetapi kamu sekalian, silakan datang kembali! Seorang yang mempunyai hikmat takkan kudapati di antara kamu!
11 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the desires of my heart.
Umurku telah lalu, telah gagal rencana-rencanaku, cita-citaku.
12 They are changing night into day; they say, The light is near the dark.
Malam hendak dijadikan mereka siang: terang segera muncul dari gelap, kata mereka.
Apabila aku mengharapkan dunia orang mati sebagai rumahku, menyediakan tempat tidurku di dalam kegelapan, (Sheol h7585)
14 If I say to the earth, You are my father; and to the worm, My mother and my sister;
dan berkata kepada liang kubur: Engkau ayahku, kepada berenga: Ibuku dan saudara perempuanku,
15 Where then is my hope? and who will see my desire?
maka di manakah harapanku? Siapakah yang melihat adanya harapan bagiku?
