Job 1
1 A man he was in [the] land of Uz [was] Job name his and he was - the man that blameless and upright and fearing God and turning aside from evil.
Di tanah Us tinggallah seorang laki-laki yang bernama Ayub. Ia menyembah Allah dan setia kepada-Nya. Ia orang yang baik budi dan tidak berbuat kejahatan sedikit pun.
2 And they were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
Ia mempunyai tujuh orang anak laki-laki dan tiga anak perempuan.
3 And it was livestock his seven thousand sheep and three thousand camels and five hundred pair[s] of ox[en] and five hundred female donkeys and service much very and he was the man that great more than all [the] people of [the] east.
Di samping itu ia mempunyai banyak budak-budak, 7.000 ekor domba, 3.000 ekor unta, 1.000 ekor sapi, dan 500 ekor keledai. Pendek kata, dia adalah orang yang paling kaya di antara penduduk daerah Timur.
4 And they went sons his and they made a feast [the] house of each one day his and they sent and they invited [the] three (sisters their *Q(k)*) to eat and to drink with them.
Ketujuh anak laki-laki Ayub mempunyai kebiasaan untuk mengadakan pesta di rumah masing-masing secara bergilir. Pada pesta itu ketiga anak perempuan Ayub juga diundang, lalu mereka semua makan dan minum bersama-sama.
5 And it was that they had gone round [the] days of the feast and he sent Job and he sanctified them and he rose early in the morning and he offered up burnt offerings [the] number of all of them for he said Job perhaps they have sinned children my and they have blessed God in heart their thus he did Job all the days.
Sehabis setiap pesta, Ayub selalu bangun pagi-pagi dan mempersembahkan kurban untuk tiap-tiap anaknya supaya mereka diampuni TUHAN. Sebab Ayub berpikir, boleh jadi anak-anaknya itu sudah berdosa dan menghina Allah tanpa sengaja.
6 And it was the day and they came [the] sons of God to present themselves on Yahweh and he came also the adversary in midst of them.
Pada suatu hari makhluk-makhluk surgawi menghadap TUHAN, dan si Penggoda ada di antara mereka juga.
7 And he said Yahweh to the adversary from where? are you coming and he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said from roving about on the earth and from going about on it.
TUHAN bertanya kepadanya, "Dari mana engkau?" Jawab Si Penggoda, "Hamba baru saja mengembara di sana sini dan menjelajahi seluruh bumi."
8 And he said Yahweh to the adversary ¿ have you set heart your on servant my Job for there not [is] like him on the earth a man blameless and upright fearing God and [who] turns aside from evil.
Lalu TUHAN bertanya, "Apakah telah kauperhatikan hamba-Ku Ayub? Di seluruh bumi tak ada orang yang begitu setia dan baik hati seperti dia. Ia menyembah Aku dan sama sekali tidak berbuat kejahatan."
9 And he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said ¿ in vain has he feared Job God.
Tetapi Si Penggoda menjawab, "Tentu saja Ayub menyembah Engkau sebab ia menerima imbalan.
10 ¿ Not (you *Q(K)*) have you put a hedge behind him and behind house his and behind all that [belongs] to him from round about [the] work of hands his you have blessed and livestock his it has spread out in the land.
Dia, keluarganya dan segala kekayaannya selalu Kaulindungi. Pekerjaannya Kauberkati dan Kauberi dia banyak ternak, cukup untuk memenuhi seluruh negeri.
11 And but stretch out please hand your and touch all that [belongs] to him if not on face your he will bless you.
Tetapi seandainya segala kekayaannya itu Kauambil, pasti dia akan langsung mengutuki Engkau!"
12 And he said Yahweh to the adversary there! all that [belongs] to him [is] in hand your only against him may not you stretch out hand your and he went out the adversary from with [the] presence of Yahweh.
Maka kata TUHAN kepada Si Penggoda, "Baiklah, lakukanlah apa saja dengan seluruh kekayaan Ayub, asal jangan kausakiti dia!" Lalu pergilah Si Penggoda dari hadapan TUHAN.
13 And it was the day and sons his and daughters his [were] eating and drinking wine in [the] house of brother their the firstborn.
Beberapa waktu kemudian anak-anak Ayub sedang mengadakan pesta di rumah abang mereka yang tertua.
14 And a messenger he came to Job and he said the ox[en] they were plowing and the female donkeys [were] grazing on hands their.
Tiba-tiba seorang pesuruh datang berlari-lari ke rumah Ayub dan melaporkan, "Tuan, orang Syeba telah datang menyerang kami ketika sapi-sapi sedang membajak ladang dan keledai-keledai sedang merumput di dekatnya. Mereka telah merampas binatang-binatang itu, dan membunuh hamba-hamba Tuan yang ada di situ. Hanya hamba saja yang luput sehingga dapat melapor kepada Tuan."
15 And it fell Sabean[s] and it took them and the servants they struck to [the] mouth of [the] sword and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to you.
16 Still - this [one] [was] speaking and this [one] he came and he said [the] fire of God it fell from the heavens and it burned the sheep and the servants and it consumed them and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to you.
Ketika ia masih berbicara, datanglah hamba kedua yang berkata, "Domba-domba Tuan dan para gembala telah disambar petir hingga tewas semua. Hanya hamba sendiri yang luput sehingga dapat melapor kepada Tuan."
17 Still - this [one] [was] speaking and this [one] he came and he said [the] Chaldeans they formed - three companies and they made a raid on the camels and they took them and the servants they struck to [the] mouth of [the] sword and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to you.
Ia belum selesai berbicara, ketika hamba yang ketiga datang memberitakan, "Tiga pasukan perampok Kasdim telah merampas unta-unta Tuan dan membunuh hamba-hamba Tuan. Hanya hamba saja yang luput sehingga dapat melapor kepada Tuan."
18 Until this [one] [was] speaking and this [one] he came and he said sons your and daughters your [were] eating and drinking wine in [the] house of brother their the firstborn.
Ketika ia masih berbicara, datanglah hamba lain yang membawa kabar, "Anak-anak Tuan sedang mengadakan pesta di rumah anak Tuan yang sulung.
19 And there! a wind great it came - from [the] other side of the wilderness and it touched [the] four [the] corners of the house and it fell on the youths and they died and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to you.
Tiba-tiba angin ribut bertiup dari arah padang pasir dan melanda rumah itu hingga roboh dan menewaskan semua anak Tuan. Hanya hambalah yang luput sehingga dapat melapor kepada Tuan."
20 And he arose Job and he tore robe his and he shaved head his and he fell [the] earth towards and he bowed down.
Lalu berdirilah Ayub dan merobek pakaiannya tanda berdukacita. Ia mencukur kepalanya, lalu sujud
21 And he said naked (I came out *Q(k)*) from [the] womb of mother my and naked I will return there towards Yahweh he gave and Yahweh he has taken may it be [the] name of Yahweh blessed.
dan berkata, "Aku dilahirkan tanpa apa-apa, dan aku akan mati tanpa apa-apa juga. TUHAN telah memberikan dan TUHAN pula telah mengambil. Terpujilah nama-Nya!"
22 In all this not he sinned Job and not he ascribe unseemliness to God.
Jadi, meskipun Ayub mengalami segala musibah itu, ia tidak berbuat dosa dan tidak mempersalahkan Allah.
