Ayub 1
1 Ada seorang laki-laki di tanah Us bernama Ayub; orang itu saleh dan jujur; ia takut akan Allah dan menjauhi kejahatan.
There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job, and that man was perfect and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil.
2 Ia mendapat tujuh anak laki-laki dan tiga anak perempuan.
And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
3 Ia memiliki tujuh ribu ekor kambing domba, tiga ribu ekor unta, lima ratus pasang lembu, lima ratus keledai betina dan budak-budak dalam jumlah yang sangat besar, sehingga orang itu adalah yang terkaya dari semua orang di sebelah timur.
His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-donkeys, and a very great household, so that this man was the greatest of all the sons of the east.
4 Anak-anaknya yang lelaki biasa mengadakan pesta di rumah mereka masing-masing menurut giliran dan ketiga saudara perempuan mereka diundang untuk makan dan minum bersama-sama mereka.
And his sons went and held a feast in the house of each one upon his day, and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5 Setiap kali, apabila hari-hari pesta telah berlalu, Ayub memanggil mereka, dan menguduskan mereka; keesokan harinya, pagi-pagi, bangunlah Ayub, lalu mempersembahkan korban bakaran sebanyak jumlah mereka sekalian, sebab pikirnya: "Mungkin anak-anakku sudah berbuat dosa dan telah mengutuki Allah di dalam hati." Demikianlah dilakukan Ayub senantiasa.
And it was so, when the days of their feasting were completed, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts. Thus Job did continually.
6 Pada suatu hari datanglah anak-anak Allah menghadap TUHAN dan di antara mereka datanglah juga Iblis.
Now it came to pass on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, that Satan also came among them.
7 Maka bertanyalah TUHAN kepada Iblis: "Dari mana engkau?" Lalu jawab Iblis kepada TUHAN: "Dari perjalanan mengelilingi dan menjelajah bumi."
And Jehovah said to Satan, From where do thou come? Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.
8 Lalu bertanyalah 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."
And Jehovah said to Satan, Have thou considered my servant Job? For there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil.
9 Lalu jawab Iblis kepada TUHAN: "Apakah dengan tidak mendapat apa-apa Ayub takut akan Allah?
Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Does Job fear God for nothing?
10 Bukankah Engkau yang membuat pagar sekeliling dia dan rumahnya serta segala yang dimilikinya? Apa yang dikerjakannya telah Kauberkati dan apa yang dimilikinya makin bertambah di negeri itu.
Have thou not made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he has, on every side? Thou have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11 Tetapi ulurkanlah tangan-Mu dan jamahlah segala yang dipunyainya, ia pasti mengutuki Engkau di hadapan-Mu."
But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce thee to thy face.
12 Maka firman TUHAN kepada Iblis: "Nah, segala yang dipunyainya ada dalam kuasamu; hanya janganlah engkau mengulurkan tanganmu terhadap dirinya." Kemudian pergilah Iblis dari hadapan TUHAN.
And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he has is in thy power, only upon himself do not put forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.
13 Pada suatu hari, ketika anak-anaknya yang lelaki dan yang perempuan makan-makan dan minum anggur di rumah saudara mereka yang sulung,
And it fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
14 datanglah seorang pesuruh kepada Ayub dan berkata: "Sedang lembu sapi membajak dan keledai-keledai betina makan rumput di sebelahnya,
that there came a messenger to Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,
15 datanglah orang-orang Syeba menyerang dan merampasnya serta memukul penjaganya dengan mata pedang. Hanya aku sendiri yang luput, sehingga dapat memberitahukan hal itu kepada tuan."
and the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away. Yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword, and only I alone have escaped to tell thee.
16 Sementara orang itu berbicara, datanglah orang lain dan berkata: "Api telah menyambar dari langit dan membakar serta memakan habis kambing domba dan penjaga-penjaga. Hanya aku sendiri yang luput, sehingga dapat memberitahukan hal itu kepada tuan."
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God fell from heaven, and has burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them, and only I alone have escaped to tell thee.
17 Sementara orang itu berbicara, datanglah orang lain dan berkata: "Orang-orang Kasdim membentuk tiga pasukan, lalu menyerbu unta-unta dan merampasnya serta memukul penjaganya dengan mata pedang. Hanya aku sendiri yang luput, sehingga dapat memberitahukan hal itu kepada tuan."
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have taken them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword, and only I alone have escaped to tell thee.
18 Sementara orang itu berbicara, datanglah orang lain dan berkata: "Anak-anak tuan yang lelaki dan yang perempuan sedang makan-makan dan minum anggur di rumah saudara mereka yang sulung,
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house.
19 maka tiba-tiba angin ribut bertiup dari seberang padang gurun; rumah itu dilandanya pada empat penjurunya dan roboh menimpa orang-orang muda itu, sehingga mereka mati. Hanya aku sendiri yang luput, sehingga dapat memberitahukan hal itu kepada tuan."
And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead, and only I alone have escaped to tell thee.
20 Maka berdirilah Ayub, lalu mengoyak jubahnya, dan mencukur kepalanya, kemudian sujudlah ia dan menyembah,
Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshiped.
21 katanya: "Dengan telanjang aku keluar dari kandungan ibuku, dengan telanjang juga aku akan kembali ke dalamnya. TUHAN yang memberi, TUHAN yang mengambil, terpujilah nama TUHAN!"
And he said, Naked I came out of my mother's womb, and naked I shall return there. Jehovah gave, and Jehovah has taken away, blessed be the name of Jehovah.
22 Dalam kesemuanya itu Ayub tidak berbuat dosa dan tidak menuduh Allah berbuat yang kurang patut.
In all this Job did not sin, nor foolishly accuse God.
