Job 42
1 Then Job, responding to the Lord, said:
Jawab Ayub kepada TUHAN, "Aku tahu, ya TUHAN, bahwa Engkau Mahakuasa; Engkau sanggup melakukan apa saja.
2 I know that you are able to do all things, and that no thoughts are hidden from you.
3 So, who is it that would disguise a lack of knowledge as counsel? Therefore, I have been speaking foolishly, about things whose measure exceeds my knowledge.
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 Listen, and I will speak. I will question you, and you may answer me.
Engkau menyuruh aku mendengarkan ketika Engkau bicara, dan memberi jawaban bila Engkau bertanya.
5 By paying attention with the ear, I have heard you, but now my eye sees you.
Dahulu, pengetahuanku tentang Engkau hanya kudengar dari orang saja, tetapi sekarang kukenal Engkau dengan berhadapan muka.
6 Therefore, I find myself reprehensible, and I will do penance in embers and ashes.
Oleh sebab itu aku malu mengingat segala perkataanku dan dengan menyesal aku duduk dalam debu dan abu."
7 But after the Lord had finished speaking these words to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Themanite: My wrath has been kindled against you, and against your two friends, because you have not been speaking correctly in my eyes, as my servant Job has done.
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 Therefore, have seven bulls and seven rams brought to you, and go to my servant Job, and offer these as a holocaust for yourselves. But also, my servant Job will pray for you; I will accept his face, so that foolishness will not be imputed to you. For you have not been speaking correctly about me, as my servant Job has done.
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 So Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Zophar the Naamathite departed, and they did just as the Lord had spoken to them, and the Lord accepted the face of Job.
Elifas, Bildad dan Zofar melakukan apa yang disuruh TUHAN, dan TUHAN menerima doa Ayub.
10 Likewise, the Lord was moved by the repentance of Job, when he prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave to Job twice as much as he had before.
Kemudian, setelah Ayub berdoa bagi ketiga temannya, TUHAN membuat dia kaya kembali dan memberikan kepadanya dua kali lipat dari segala kepunyaannya dahulu.
11 Yet all his brethren came to him, and all his sisters, and everyone who had known him before, and they ate bread with him in his house. They also shook their heads over him and comforted him, because of all the bad things that God had inflicted on him. And each one of them gave him one female sheep, and one earring of gold.
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 blessed the latter end of Job even more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand pairs of oxen, and a thousand she-donkeys.
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 called the name of one, Daylight, and the name of the second, Cinnamon, and the name of the third, Horn of Cosmetics.
Anak perempuannya yang pertama dinamakannya Yemima, yang kedua Kezia, dan yang bungsu Kerenhapukh.
15 And, in the whole world, there were not found women so beautiful as the daughters of Job. And so their father gave them an inheritance along with 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 But Job lived long after these events, for a hundred and forty years, and he saw his children, and his children’s children, all the way to the fourth generation,
Sesudah itu Ayub masih hidup seratus empat puluh tahun lamanya, sehingga ia sempat melihat cucu-cucunya serta anak-anak mereka.
17 and he died an old man and full of days.
Lalu meninggallah Ayub dalam usia yang lanjut sekali.
