Job 17
1 Spirit my it is broken days my they are extinguished grave [belong] to me.
Ajalku sudah dekat, hampir putuslah napasku; hanyalah kuburan yang tinggal bagiku.
2 Not mockeries [are] with me and on rebelling they may it dwell eye my.
Orang menjadikan aku bahan ejekan; kulihat betapa mereka melontarkan sindiran.
3 Make! please stand surety for me with yourself who? that to hand my will he strike himself.
Aku ini jujur, ya Allah. Percayalah padaku! Siapa lagi yang dapat menyokong perkataanku?
4 For heart their you have kept from understanding there-fore not you will exalt [them].
Kaututup hati mereka sehingga tak mengerti; jangan sampai mereka menundukkan aku kini.
5 For a share he tells friends and [the] eyes of children his they will fail.
Menurut pepatah, siapa mengadukan teman demi keuntungan, anak-anaknya sendiri akan menerima pembalasan.
6 And he has set me to use a proverb peoples and a spitting to [the] face I am.
Kini aku disindir dengan pepatah itu; mereka datang untuk meludahi mukaku.
7 And it has grown dim from grief eye my and members my [are] like shadow all of them.
Mataku kabur karena dukacita; seluruh tubuhku kurus merana.
8 They are appalled upright [people] on this and [the] innocent on [the] godless he will rouse himself.
Orang yang saleh, terkejut dan heran; orang yang tak bersalah, menganggap aku tidak bertuhan.
9 And he may hold [the] righteous way his and [the] clean of hands he will increase strength.
Orang yang baik dan yang tidak bersalah, makin yakin cara hidupnya berkenan kepada Allah.
10 And but all of them you will return and come please and not I will find among you a wise [person].
Tapi seandainya kamu semua datang ke mari, tak seorang bijaksana pun yang akan kudapati.
11 Days my they have passed plans my they have been torn apart [the] wishes of heart my.
Hari-hariku telah lalu, gagallah segala rencanaku; hilang pula semua cita-cita hatiku.
12 Night into day they make light [is] near from before darkness.
Tetapi sahabat-sahabatku berkata, 'Malam itu siang dan terang hampir tiba.' Namun aku tahu dalam hatiku bahwa tetap gelaplah keadaanku.
Hanya dunia mautlah yang kuharapkan, di sanalah aku akan tidur dalam kegelapan. (Sheol h7585)
14 To the pit I have called out [are] father my you O mother my and sister my to the maggot.
Kuburku kunamakan "Ayahku", dan cacing-cacing pemakan tubuhku kusebut "Ibu" dan "Saudara perempuanku".
15 And where? then [is] hope my and hope my who? will he observe it.
Di manakah harapan bagiku; siapa melihat adanya bahagia untukku?
