Job 42
1 And Job said in answer to the Lord,
Jawab Ayub kepada TUHAN, "Aku tahu, ya TUHAN, bahwa Engkau Mahakuasa; Engkau sanggup melakukan apa saja.
2 I see that you are able to do every thing, and to give effect to all your designs.
3 Who is this who makes dark the purpose of God by words without knowledge? For I have been talking without knowledge about wonders not to be searched out.
Engkau bertanya mengapa aku berani meragukan hikmat-Mu padahal aku sendiri tidak tahu menahu. Aku bicara tentang hal-hal yang tidak kumengerti, tentang hal-hal yang terlalu ajaib bagiku ini.
4 Give ear to me, and I will say what is in my mind; I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers.
Engkau menyuruh aku mendengarkan ketika Engkau bicara, dan memberi jawaban bila Engkau bertanya.
5 Word of you had come to my ears, but now my eye has seen you.
Dahulu, pengetahuanku tentang Engkau hanya kudengar dari orang saja, tetapi sekarang kukenal Engkau dengan berhadapan muka.
6 For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.
Oleh sebab itu aku malu mengingat segala perkataanku dan dengan menyesal aku duduk dalam debu dan abu."
7 And it came about, after he had said these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, I am very angry with you and your two friends, because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.
Setelah selesai berbicara kepada Ayub, berkatalah TUHAN kepada Elifas, "Aku marah kepadamu dan kepada kedua temanmu, karena kamu tidak mengatakan yang sebenarnya tentang diri-Ku. Tetapi hamba-Ku Ayub tidaklah demikian.
8 And now, take seven oxen and seven sheep, and go to my servant Job, and give a burned offering for yourselves, and my servant Job will make prayer for you, that I may not send punishment on you; because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.
Nah, ambillah sekarang tujuh ekor sapi jantan dan tujuh ekor domba jantan, dan pergilah kepada Ayub. Kemudian persembahkanlah semuanya itu sebagai kurban bakaran untuk dirimu. Ayub akan berdoa untuk kamu dan doanya akan Kuterima. Kamu tidak akan Kupermalukan, meskipun kamu patut menerima hukuman. Kamu tidak mengatakan yang sebenarnya tentang diri-Ku, sedangkan Ayub mengatakannya."
9 And Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as the Lord had said. And the Lord gave ear to Job.
Elifas, Bildad dan Zofar melakukan apa yang disuruh TUHAN, dan TUHAN menerima doa Ayub.
10 And the Lord made up to Job for all his losses, after he had made prayer for his friends: and all Job had before was increased by the Lord twice as much.
Kemudian, setelah Ayub berdoa bagi ketiga temannya, TUHAN membuat dia kaya kembali dan memberikan kepadanya dua kali lipat dari segala kepunyaannya dahulu.
11 And all his brothers and sisters, and his friends of earlier days, came and took food with him in his house; and made clear their grief for him, and gave him comfort for all the evil which the Lord had sent on him; and they all gave him a bit of money and a gold ring.
Semua abang dan saudara perempuan Ayub, serta semua kenalannya yang lama, datang mengunjunginya lalu berpesta bersama-sama dia di rumahnya. Mereka menyatakan turut berdukacita atas segala kesusahan yang telah didatangkan TUHAN ke atasnya, dan menghibur dia. Masing-masing di antara mereka memberikan sejumlah uang dan sebuah cincin emas kepada Ayub.
12 And the Lord's blessing was greater on the end of Job's life than on its start: and so he came to have fourteen thousand sheep and goats, and six thousand camels, and two thousand oxen, and a thousand she-asses.
Ayub diberkati TUHAN dengan lebih berlimpah dalam sisa hidupnya, daripada masa sebelum ia mengalami musibah. Ayub memiliki 14.000 ekor kambing domba, 6.000 ekor unta, 2.000 ekor sapi, dan 1.000 ekor keledai.
13 And he had seven sons and three daughters.
Ia mendapat tujuh orang anak laki-laki dan tiga orang anak perempuan.
14 And he gave the first the name of Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch;
Anak perempuannya yang pertama dinamakannya Yemima, yang kedua Kezia, dan yang bungsu Kerenhapukh.
15 And there were no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job in all the earth: and their father gave them a heritage among their brothers.
Di seluruh negeri tidak ada gadis secantik ketiga anak perempuan Ayub. Mereka diberi bagian dalam warisan ayahnya, sama dengan saudara-saudara mereka yang laki-laki.
16 And after this Job had a hundred and forty years of life, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
Sesudah itu Ayub masih hidup seratus empat puluh tahun lamanya, sehingga ia sempat melihat cucu-cucunya serta anak-anak mereka.
17 And Job came to his end, old and full of days.
Lalu meninggallah Ayub dalam usia yang lanjut sekali.
