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 certain man in the land of Ausis, whose name [was] Job; and than man was true, blameless, righteous, [and] godly, abstaining from everything evil.
2 Ia mendapat tujuh anak laki-laki dan tiga anak perempuan.
And he had 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.
And his cattle consisted of seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she-asses in the pastures, and a very great household, and he had a great husbandry on the earth; and that man was [most] noble of the [men] 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 visiting one another prepared a banquet every day, taking with them also their three sisters to eat and 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 when the days of the banquet were completed, Job sent and purified them, having risen up in the morning, and offered sacrifices for them, according to their number, and one calf for a sin-offering for their souls: for Job said, Lest perhaps my sons have thought evil in their minds against God. Thus, then Job did continually.
6 Pada suatu hari datanglah anak-anak Allah menghadap TUHAN dan di antara mereka datanglah juga Iblis.
And it came to pass on a day, that behold, the angels of God came to stand before the Lord, and the devil came with them.
7 Maka bertanyalah TUHAN kepada Iblis: "Dari mana engkau?" Lalu jawab Iblis kepada TUHAN: "Dari perjalanan mengelilingi dan menjelajah bumi."
And the Lord said to the devil, Whence are you come? And the devil answered the Lord, and said, I am come from compassing the earth, and walking up and down in the world.
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 the Lord said to him, Hast you diligently considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a man blameless, true, godly, abstaining from everything evil?
9 Lalu jawab Iblis kepada TUHAN: "Apakah dengan tidak mendapat apa-apa Ayub takut akan Allah?
Then the devil answered, and said before the Lord, Does Job worship the Lord 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.
Hast you not made a hedge about him, and about his household, and all his possessions round about? and have you not blessed the works of his hands, and multiplied his cattle upon the land?
11 Tetapi ulurkanlah tangan-Mu dan jamahlah segala yang dipunyainya, ia pasti mengutuki Engkau di hadapan-Mu."
But put forth your hand, and touch all that he has: verily he will bless you to [your] 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.
Then the Lord said to the devil, Behold, I give into your hand all that he has, but touch not himself. So the devil went out from the presence of the Lord.
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 came to pass on a certain day, that Job's sons and his daughters were drinking wine in the house of their elder brother.
14 datanglah seorang pesuruh kepada Ayub dan berkata: "Sedang lembu sapi membajak dan keledai-keledai betina makan rumput di sebelahnya,
And, behold, there came a messenger to Job, and said to him, The yokes of oxen were plowing, and the she-asses were feeding near 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 spoilers came and took them for a prey, and killed the servants with the sword; and I having escaped alone am come to tell you.
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 another messenger, and said to Job, Fire has fallen from heaven, and burnt up the sheep, and devoured the shepherds like wise; and I having escaped alone am come to tell you.
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 another messenger, and said to Job, The horsemen formed three companies against us, and surrounded the camels, and took them for a prey, and killed the servants with the sword; and I only escaped, and am come to tell you.
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 is yet speaking, another messenger comes, saying to Job, While your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking with their elder brother,
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."
suddenly a great wind came on from the desert, and caught the four corners of the house, and the house fell upon your children, and they are dead; and I have escaped alone, and am come to tell you.
20 Maka berdirilah Ayub, lalu mengoyak jubahnya, dan mencukur kepalanya, kemudian sujudlah ia dan menyembah,
So Job arose, and tore his garments, and shaved the hair of his head, and fell on the earth, and worshipped,
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 said, I myself came forth naked from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there; the Lord gave, the Lord has taken away: as it seemed good to the Lord, so has it come to pass; blessed be the name of the Lord.
22 Dalam kesemuanya itu Ayub tidak berbuat dosa dan tidak menuduh Allah berbuat yang kurang patut.
In all these events that befell him Job sinned not at all before the Lord, and did not impute folly to God.
