Job 23
1 And he answered Job and he said.
Tetapi Ayub menjawab, "Aku meronta dan mengeluh terhadap Allah; tak dapat aku menahan keluh kesah.
2 Also this day [the] rebellion of complaint my hand my it is heavy on groaning my.
3 Who? will he give I knew and I will find him I will come to place his.
Ah, kiranya kuketahui tempat Ia berada, supaya aku dapat pergi dan bertemu dengan Dia.
4 Let me set in order before him a case and mouth my let me fill arguments.
Maka kepada-Nya perkaraku ini kuhadapkan, dari mulutku berderai kata-kata pembelaan.
5 I want to know [the] words [which] he will answer me and I want to understand what? will he say to me.
Aku ingin tahu apa yang akan Ia katakan, dan bagaimana Ia memberi jawaban.
6 ¿ With greatness of power will he conduct a case with me not surely he he will put on me.
Apakah Ia akan melancarkan kuasa-Nya kepadaku? Tidak! Ia pasti akan mendengarkan kata-kataku.
7 There an upright [person] [will be] reasoning with him and I will deliver to perpetuity from judge my.
Aku tak bersalah dan dapat membela diri di hadapan-Nya, maka aku akan dinyatakan bebas untuk selama-lamanya.
8 Here! forward I go and there not [is] he and backwards and not I perceive him.
Kucari Allah di timur, barat, selatan, utara, tetapi di mana-mana Allah tak ada; dan aku tak dapat menemukan Dia.
9 [the] left [side] When acts he and not I see [him] he turns [the] right [side] and not I see [him].
10 That he knows [the] way with me he has tested me like gold I will come forth.
Namun Dia tahu segala jalanku juga setiap langkahku. Kalau seperti emas aku diuji, akan terbukti bahwa hatiku murni.
11 On step his it has taken hold foot my way his I have kept and not I have turned aside.
Aku taat kepada-Nya dengan setia; tak pernah aku menyimpang dari jalan yang ditentukan-Nya.
12 [the] commandment of Lips his and not I have ceased more than portion my I have treasured up [the] words of mouth his.
Perintah-perintah Allah selalu kutaati, kehendak-Nya kuikuti, dan bukan keinginanku sendiri.
13 And he [is] one and who? will he turn back him and [that which] self his it has desired and he has done.
Allah itu tak berubah; tak ada yang dapat melawan Dia. Ia melakukan apa yang dikehendaki-Nya.
14 For he performs decree my and like them many [are] with him.
Ia akan menjalankan rencana-Nya bagiku, dan masih banyak lagi rencana-Nya selain itu.
15 There-fore of him I am terrified I consider and I may be in dread from him.
Karena takut kepada-Nya, gemetarlah aku; semakin semua itu kupikirkan, semakin takutlah aku.
16 And God he has made faint heart my and [the] Almighty he has terrified me.
Yang Mahakuasa menghancurkan segala keberanianku. Aku takut karena Allah, dan bukan karena gelap gulita, meskipun kegelapan itu mengelilingi aku, dan menutupi wajahku.
17 For not I have been destroyed from before darkness and from before me it covers gloom.
