Ayub 19
1 Tetapi Ayub menjawab:
Then Job answered,
2 "Berapa lama lagi kamu menyakitkan hatiku, dan meremukkan aku dengan perkataan?
"How long will you torment me, and crush me with words?
3 Sekarang telah sepuluh kali kamu menghina aku, kamu tidak malu menyiksa aku.
You have reproached me ten times. You aren't ashamed that you attack me.
4 Jika aku sungguh tersesat, maka aku sendiri yang menanggung kesesatanku itu.
If it is true that I have erred, my error remains with myself.
5 Jika kamu sungguh hendak membesarkan diri terhadap aku, dan membuat celaku sebagai bukti terhadap diriku,
If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me, and plead my disgrace against me;
6 insafilah, bahwa Allah telah berlaku tidak adil terhadap aku, dan menebarkan jala-Nya atasku.
know now that God has subverted me, and has surrounded me with his net.
7 Sesungguhnya, aku berteriak: Kelaliman!, tetapi tidak ada yang menjawab. Aku berseru minta tolong, tetapi tidak ada keadilan.
"Look, I cry out 'Injustice.' but there is no justice.
8 Jalanku ditutup-Nya dengan tembok, sehingga aku tidak dapat melewatinya, dan jalan-jalanku itu dibuat-Nya gelap.
He has walled up my way so that I can't pass, and has set darkness in my paths.
9 Ia telah menanggalkan kemuliaanku dan merampas mahkota di kepalaku.
He has stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
10 Ia membongkar aku di semua tempat, sehingga aku lenyap, dan seperti pohon harapanku dicabut-Nya.
He has broken me down on every side, and I am gone. My hope he has plucked up like a tree.
11 Murka-Nya menyala terhadap aku, dan menganggap aku sebagai lawan-Nya.
He has also kindled his wrath against me. He counts me among his adversaries.
12 Pasukan-Nya maju serentak, mereka merintangi jalan melawan aku, lalu mengepung kemahku.
His troops come on together, build a siege ramp against me, and camp around my tent.
13 Saudara-saudaraku dijauhkan-Nya dari padaku, dan kenalan-kenalanku tidak lagi mengenal aku.
"He has put my brothers far from me. My acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.
14 Kaum kerabatku menghindar, dan kawan-kawanku melupakan aku.
My relatives have gone away. My familiar friends have forgotten me.
15 Anak semang dan budak perempuanku menganggap aku orang yang tidak dikenal, aku dipandang mereka orang asing.
Those who dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger. I am a foreigner in their sight.
16 Kalau aku memanggil budakku, ia tidak menyahut; aku harus membujuknya dengan kata-kata manis.
I call to my servant, and he gives me no answer. I beg him with my mouth.
17 Nafasku menimbulkan rasa jijik kepada isteriku, dan bauku memualkan saudara-saudara sekandungku.
My breath is offensive to my wife. I am loathsome to the children of my own mother.
18 Bahkan kanak-kanakpun menghina aku, kalau aku mau berdiri, mereka mengejek aku.
Even young children despise me. If I arise, they speak against me.
19 Semua teman karibku merasa muak terhadap aku; dan mereka yang kukasihi, berbalik melawan aku.
All my familiar friends abhor me. They whom I loved have turned against me.
20 Tulangku melekat pada kulit dan dagingku, dan hanya gusiku yang tinggal padaku.
My bones stick to my skin and to my flesh. I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
21 Kasihanilah aku, kasihanilah aku, hai sahabat-sahabatku, karena tangan Allah telah menimpa aku.
"Have pity on me, have pity on me, you my friends; for the hand of God has touched me.
22 Mengapa kamu mengejar aku, seakan-akan Allah, dan tidak menjadi kenyang makan dagingku?
Why do you persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23 Ah, kiranya perkataanku ditulis, dicatat dalam kitab,
"Oh that my words were now written. Oh that they were inscribed in a scroll.
24 terpahat dengan besi pengukir dan timah pada gunung batu untuk selama-lamanya!
That with an iron pen and lead they were engraved in the rock forever.
25 Tetapi aku tahu: Penebusku hidup, dan akhirnya Ia akan bangkit di atas debu.
But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives. In the end, he will stand upon the earth.
26 Juga sesudah kulit tubuhku sangat rusak, tanpa dagingkupun aku akan melihat Allah,
After my skin is destroyed, then in my flesh shall I see God,
27 yang aku sendiri akan melihat memihak kepadaku; mataku sendiri menyaksikan-Nya dan bukan orang lain. Hati sanubariku merana karena rindu.
Whom I, even I, shall see on my side. My eyes shall see, and not as a stranger. My heart is consumed within me.
28 Kalau kamu berkata: Kami akan menuntut dia dan mendapatkan padanya sebab perkaranya!,
If you say, 'How we will persecute him, because the root of the matter is found in him.'
29 takutlah kepada pedang, karena kegeraman mendatangkan hukuman pedang, agar kamu tahu, bahwa ada pengadilan."
Be afraid of the sword, for wrath brings the punishments of the sword, that you may know there is a judgment."
