Job 2
1 And the day is, that sons of God come to station themselves by YHWH, and there also comes Satan in their midst to station himself by YHWH.
Pada suatu hari datanglah anak-anak Allah menghadap TUHAN dan di antara mereka datang juga Iblis untuk menghadap TUHAN.
2 And YHWH says to Satan, “From where have you come?” And Satan answers YHWH and says, “From going to and fro in the land, 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 says to Satan, “Have you set your heart to My servant Job because there is none like him in the land, a man perfect and upright, fearing God and turning aside from evil? And still he is keeping hold on his integrity, and you move Me against him to swallow him up for nothing!”
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 answers YHWH and says, “A skin for a skin, and all that a man has he gives for his life.
Lalu jawab Iblis kepada TUHAN: "Kulit ganti kulit! Orang akan memberikan segala yang dipunyainya ganti nyawanya.
5 Yet, put forth Your hand now, and strike to his bone and to his flesh—if not, he blesses You to Your face!”
Tetapi ulurkanlah tangan-Mu dan jamahlah tulang dan dagingnya, ia pasti mengutuki Engkau di hadapan-Mu."
6 And YHWH says to Satan, “Behold, he [is] in your hand; only take care of his life.”
Maka firman TUHAN kepada Iblis: "Nah, ia dalam kuasamu; hanya sayangkan nyawanya."
7 And Satan goes forth from the presence of YHWH, and strikes Job with a severe ulcer from the sole of his foot to 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 takes to him a potsherd to scrape himself with it, and he is sitting in the midst of the ashes.
Lalu Ayub mengambil sekeping beling untuk menggaruk-garuk badannya, sambil duduk di tengah-tengah abu.
9 And his wife says to him, “You are still keeping hold on your integrity: bless God and die.”
Maka berkatalah isterinya kepadanya: "Masih bertekunkah engkau dalam kesalehanmu? Kutukilah Allahmu dan matilah!"
10 And he says to her, “As one of the foolish women speaks, you speak; indeed, do we receive the good from God, and we do not receive the bad?” In all this Job has not sinned 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 And three of the friends of Job hear of all this evil that has come on him, and they each come in from his place—Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite—and they have met together to come to bemoan 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 they lift up their eyes from afar and have not discerned him, and they lift up their voice and weep, and each tears his robe, and sprinkle dust on their heads—heavenward.
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 And they sit with him on the earth seven days and seven nights, and there is none speaking to him a word when they have seen that the pain has been 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.
