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