Job 18
1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
Maka jawab Bildad, "Hai Ayub, kapankah kau habis bicara? Diamlah, dan dengarkanlah kini kami mau berkata-kata.
2 How long will ye lay snares for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
3 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed dull in your sight?
Mengapa kauanggap kami dungu, dan kausamakan kami dengan lembu?
4 Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, shall the earth be forsaken for thee? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?
Kemarahanmu hanya menyakiti dirimu. Haruskah untuk kepentinganmu bumi kehilangan penduduknya, dan gunung-gunung dipindahkan dari tempatnya?
5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
Pelita orang jahat pasti dipadamkan; apinya tak akan pernah lagi dinyalakan.
6 The light shall be dark in his tent, and his lamp over him shall be put out.
Terang dalam kemahnya menjadi pudar; pelita penerangnya tidak lagi bersinar.
7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
Langkahnya yang mantap menjadi terhuyung-huyung; rancangannya sendiri menyebabkan ia tersandung.
8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon the toils.
Ia berjalan ke dalam jaring, maka tersangkutlah kakinya.
9 A gin shall take him by the heel, and a snare shall lay hold on him.
Tumitnya terjerat oleh perangkap, sehingga tertangkaplah ia.
10 A noose is hid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
Di tanah, tersembunyi tali jerat; di jalan, terpasang jebak dan pikat.
11 Terrors shall overwhelm him on every side, and shall entrap him at his feet.
Orang jahat dikejutkan oleh kengerian dari segala arah; ketakutan mengikutinya langkah demi langkah.
12 His trouble shall be ravenous, and calamity shall be ready for his fall.
Dahulu ia kuat, kini ia merana; bencana menemaninya di mana-mana.
13 It shall devour the members of his body, yea, the first-born of death shall devour his members.
Kulitnya dimakan penyakit parah; lengan dan kakinya busuk bernanah.
14 That wherein he trusteth shall be plucked out of his tent; and he shall be brought to the king of terrors.
Ia direnggut dari kemahnya, tempat ia merasa aman, lalu diseret untuk menghadap kematian.
15 There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his; brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
Kini siapa saja boleh tinggal dalam kemahnya, dan di situ ditaburkan belerang, pembasmi penyakitnya.
16 His roots shall dry up beneath, and above shall his branch wither.
Akar-akarnya gersang dan berkerut; ranting-rantingnya kering dan kisut.
17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name abroad.
Ia tak dikenal lagi di dalam maupun di luar kota; tak ada seorang pun yang masih ingat namanya.
18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
Dari terang ia diusir ke dalam kegelapan; dari dunia orang hidup ia dienyahkan.
19 He shall have neither son nor son's son among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
Anak dan keturunan ia tak punya; di kampung halamannya seorang pun tak tersisa.
20 They that come after shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before are affrighted.
Mendengar nasibnya penduduk di barat terkejut, sedang penduduk di timur gemetar karena takut.
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
Begitulah nasib orang durhaka, mereka yang tidak mengindahkan Allah."
