Job 2
1 Again there was a day when the sons of Elohim came to present themselves before YHWH, and Satan came also among them to present himself before YHWH.
Pada suatu hari datanglah anak-anak Allah menghadap TUHAN dan di antara mereka datang juga Iblis untuk menghadap TUHAN.
2 And YHWH said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered YHWH, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
Maka bertanyalah TUHAN kepada Iblis: "Dari mana engkau?" Lalu jawab Iblis kepada TUHAN: "Dari perjalanan mengelilingi dan menjelajah bumi."
3 And YHWH said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth Elohim, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
Firman TUHAN kepada Iblis: "Apakah engkau memperhatikan hamba-Ku Ayub? Sebab tiada seorangpun di bumi seperti dia, yang demikian saleh dan jujur, yang takut akan Allah dan menjauhi kejahatan. Ia tetap tekun dalam kesalehannya, meskipun engkau telah membujuk Aku melawan dia untuk mencelakakannya tanpa alasan."
4 And Satan answered YHWH, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
Lalu jawab Iblis kepada TUHAN: "Kulit ganti kulit! Orang akan memberikan segala yang dipunyainya ganti nyawanya.
5 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
Tetapi ulurkanlah tangan-Mu dan jamahlah tulang dan dagingnya, ia pasti mengutuki Engkau di hadapan-Mu."
6 And YHWH said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.
Maka firman TUHAN kepada Iblis: "Nah, ia dalam kuasamu; hanya sayangkan nyawanya."
7 So went Satan forth from the presence of YHWH, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
Kemudian Iblis pergi dari hadapan TUHAN, lalu ditimpanya Ayub dengan barah yang busuk dari telapak kakinya sampai ke batu kepalanya.
8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.
Lalu Ayub mengambil sekeping beling untuk menggaruk-garuk badannya, sambil duduk di tengah-tengah abu.
9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse Elohim, and die.
Maka berkatalah isterinya kepadanya: "Masih bertekunkah engkau dalam kesalehanmu? Kutukilah Allahmu dan matilah!"
10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of Elohim, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
Tetapi jawab Ayub kepadanya: "Engkau berbicara seperti perempuan gila! Apakah kita mau menerima yang baik dari Allah, tetapi tidak mau menerima yang buruk?" Dalam kesemuanya itu Ayub tidak berbuat dosa dengan bibirnya.
11 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.
Ketika ketiga sahabat Ayub mendengar kabar tentang segala malapetaka yang menimpa dia, maka datanglah mereka dari tempatnya masing-masing, yakni: Elifas, orang Teman, dan Bildad, orang Suah, serta Zofar, orang Naama. Mereka bersepakat untuk mengucapkan belasungkawa kepadanya dan menghibur dia.
12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
Ketika mereka memandang dari jauh, mereka tidak mengenalnya lagi. Lalu menangislah mereka dengan suara nyaring. Mereka mengoyak jubahnya, dan menaburkan debu di kepala terhadap langit.
13 So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.
Lalu mereka duduk bersama-sama dia di tanah selama tujuh hari tujuh malam. Seorangpun tidak mengucapkan sepatah kata kepadanya, karena mereka melihat, bahwa sangat berat penderitaannya.
