Job 19
1 Then Job answered and said,
Tetapi Ayub menjawab:
2 How long will you vex my soul, and destroy me with words? only know that the Lord has dealt with me thus.
"Berapa lama lagi kamu menyakitkan hatiku, dan meremukkan aku dengan perkataan?
3 You speak against me; you do not feel for me, but bear hard upon me.
Sekarang telah sepuluh kali kamu menghina aku, kamu tidak malu menyiksa aku.
4 Yes verily, I have erred in truth, (but the error abides with myself) in having spoken words which it was not right [to speak]; and my words err, and are unreasonable.
Jika aku sungguh tersesat, maka aku sendiri yang menanggung kesesatanku itu.
5 But alas! for you magnify yourselves against me, and insult me with reproach.
Jika kamu sungguh hendak membesarkan diri terhadap aku, dan membuat celaku sebagai bukti terhadap diriku,
6 Know then that it is the Lord that has troubled [me], and has raised his bulwark against me.
insafilah, bahwa Allah telah berlaku tidak adil terhadap aku, dan menebarkan jala-Nya atasku.
7 Behold, I laugh at reproach; I will not speak: [or] I will cry out, but [there is] nowhere judgment.
Sesungguhnya, aku berteriak: Kelaliman!, tetapi tidak ada yang menjawab. Aku berseru minta tolong, tetapi tidak ada keadilan.
8 I am fenced round about, and can by no means escape: he has set darkness before my face.
Jalanku ditutup-Nya dengan tembok, sehingga aku tidak dapat melewatinya, dan jalan-jalanku itu dibuat-Nya gelap.
9 And he has stripped me of my glory, and has taken the crown from my head.
Ia telah menanggalkan kemuliaanku dan merampas mahkota di kepalaku.
10 He has torn me around about, and I am gone: and he has cut off my hope like a tree.
Ia membongkar aku di semua tempat, sehingga aku lenyap, dan seperti pohon harapanku dicabut-Nya.
11 And he has dreadfully handled me in anger, and has counted me for an enemy.
Murka-Nya menyala terhadap aku, dan menganggap aku sebagai lawan-Nya.
12 His troops also came upon me with one accord, liars in wait compassed my ways.
Pasukan-Nya maju serentak, mereka merintangi jalan melawan aku, lalu mengepung kemahku.
13 My brethren have stood aloof from me; they have recognized strangers [rather] than me: and my friends have become pitiless.
Saudara-saudaraku dijauhkan-Nya dari padaku, dan kenalan-kenalanku tidak lagi mengenal aku.
14 My nearest of kin have not acknowledged me, and they that knew my name, have forgotten me.
Kaum kerabatku menghindar, dan kawan-kawanku melupakan aku.
15 [As for] my household, and my maidservants, I was a stranger before them.
Anak semang dan budak perempuanku menganggap aku orang yang tidak dikenal, aku dipandang mereka orang asing.
16 I called my servant, and he listened not; and my mouth entreated [him].
Kalau aku memanggil budakku, ia tidak menyahut; aku harus membujuknya dengan kata-kata manis.
17 And I implored my wife, and earnestly entreated the sons of my concubines.
Nafasku menimbulkan rasa jijik kepada isteriku, dan bauku memualkan saudara-saudara sekandungku.
18 But they rejected me for ever; whenever I rise up, they speak against me.
Bahkan kanak-kanakpun menghina aku, kalau aku mau berdiri, mereka mengejek aku.
19 They that saw me abhorred me: the very persons whom I had loved, rose up against me.
Semua teman karibku merasa muak terhadap aku; dan mereka yang kukasihi, berbalik melawan aku.
20 My flesh is corrupt under my skin, and my bones are held in [my] teeth.
Tulangku melekat pada kulit dan dagingku, dan hanya gusiku yang tinggal padaku.
21 Pity me, pity me, O friends; for it is the hand of the Lord that has touched me.
Kasihanilah aku, kasihanilah aku, hai sahabat-sahabatku, karena tangan Allah telah menimpa aku.
22 Therefore do you persecute me as also the Lord [does], and are not satisfied with my flesh?
Mengapa kamu mengejar aku, seakan-akan Allah, dan tidak menjadi kenyang makan dagingku?
23 For oh that my words were written, and that they were recorded in a book forever,
Ah, kiranya perkataanku ditulis, dicatat dalam kitab,
24 with an iron pen and lead, or graven in the rocks!
terpahat dengan besi pengukir dan timah pada gunung batu untuk selama-lamanya!
25 For I know that he is eternal who is about to deliver me,
Tetapi aku tahu: Penebusku hidup, dan akhirnya Ia akan bangkit di atas debu.
26 [and] to raise up upon the earth my skin that endures these [sufferings]: for these things have been accomplished to me of the Lord;
Juga sesudah kulit tubuhku sangat rusak, tanpa dagingkupun aku akan melihat Allah,
27 which I am conscious of in myself, which mine eye has seen, and not another, but all have been fulfilled to me in [my] bosom.
yang aku sendiri akan melihat memihak kepadaku; mataku sendiri menyaksikan-Nya dan bukan orang lain. Hati sanubariku merana karena rindu.
28 But if you shall also say, What shall we say before him, and [so] find the root of the matter in him?
Kalau kamu berkata: Kami akan menuntut dia dan mendapatkan padanya sebab perkaranya!,
29 Do you also beware of deceit: for wrath will come upon transgressors; and then shall they know where their substance is.
takutlah kepada pedang, karena kegeraman mendatangkan hukuman pedang, agar kamu tahu, bahwa ada pengadilan."
