Job 27
1 Job also added to this, using figures of speech, and he said:
Ayub meneruskan uraiannya, katanya, "Demi Allah yang hidup, yang tak memberi keadilan kepadaku,
2 As God lives, who has taken away my judgment, and the Almighty, who has led my soul to bitterness,
3 as long as my breath remains in me and the breath of God remains in my nostrils,
aku bersumpah: Selama Allah masih memberi napas kepadaku, selama nyawa masih ada dalam badanku,
4 my lips will not speak iniquity, nor will my tongue devise lies.
bibirku tak akan menyebut kata dusta, lidahku tak akan mengucapkan tipu daya.
5 Far be it from me that I should judge you to be right, for, until I expire, I will not withdraw from my innocence.
Jadi, tak mau aku mengatakan bahwa kamu benar; sampai mati pun kupertahankan bahwa aku tak cemar.
6 I will not forsake my justification, which I have just begun to grasp, for my heart does not find blame for me in my whole life.
Aku tetap berpegang kepada kepatuhanku, dan hati nuraniku pun bersih selalu.
7 Let the impious be as my enemy, and the sinful, as my adversary.
Semoga musuhku dihukum sebagai pendurhaka, dan lawanku dihajar sebagai orang durjana.
8 For what hope is there for the hypocrite, if he greedily plunders and God does not free his soul?
Adakah harapan bagi orang dursila pada saat Allah menuntut jiwanya?
9 Will God pay attention to his cry, when anguish overcomes him?
Apakah Allah akan mendengar tangisnya bilamana kesulitan menimpa dia?
10 Or will he take delight in the Almighty and call upon God at all times?
Seharusnya ia merindukan kesenangan dari Allah, dan berdoa kepada-Nya tanpa merasa lelah.
11 I will teach you through the hand of God, what the Almighty holds, and I will not conceal it.
Kamu akan kuajari tentang besarnya kuasa Allah, kuberitahukan kepadamu rencana Yang Mahakuasa.
12 Behold, you know all this, and so why do you speak vain things without a reason?
Tetapi, kamu semua telah melihatnya sendiri. Jadi, mengapa kamu berikan nasihat yang tak berarti?"
13 This is the portion of the impious man with God, and the inheritance of the violent, which they will receive from the Almighty.
Maka berkatalah Zofar, "Beginilah caranya Allah Yang Mahakuasa menghukum orang yang lalim dan durhaka.
14 If his sons should happen to increase, they will be for the sword, and his grandsons will not be satisfied with bread.
Jika anaknya banyak, mereka akan mati dalam perang dan anak cucunya akan hidup berkekurangan.
15 Whatever will remain of him will be buried in the ruins, and his widows will not weep.
Sanaknya yang masih ada, mati karena wabah, dan janda-jandanya tidak menangisi mereka.
16 If he will amass silver as if it were dirt and fabricate garments as if they were clay,
Boleh saja peraknya bertimbun-timbun dan pakaiannya bersusun-susun,
17 then yes, he will gather, but the just will be clothed with it and the innocent will divide the silver.
tetapi perak dan pakaian itu semua akan menjadi milik orang yang tulus hatinya.
18 He has built his house like a moth, and he has made a makeshift shelter like a sentry.
Rumah orang jahat rapuh seperti sarang laba-laba, hanya rumah sementara seperti gubug seorang penjaga.
19 When he falls asleep, the rich man will leave him with nothing; he will open his eyes and find nothing.
Ia membaringkan diri sebagai orang kaya, tetapi ia tak dapat mengulanginya, ketika ia bangun dari tidurnya, sudah hilang lenyaplah kekayaannya.
20 Destitution will surround him like water; a storm will overwhelm him in the night.
Kedahsyatan menimpa seperti air bah yang datang tiba-tiba. Angin ribut di malam hari meniup dan menyeret dia pergi.
21 A burning wind will pick him up and carry him away, and, like a whirlwind, it will rush him from his place.
Angin timur mengangkat dia, dan menyapunya dari rumahnya.
22 And it will hurl over him and will not spare him; fleeing from its power, he will go into exile.
Ia dilanda tanpa kasihan, dan terpaksa lari mencari perlindungan.
23 He will clasp his hands over himself, and he will hiss at himself, while considering his situation.
Jatuhnya disambut orang dengan tepuk tangan; di mana-mana ia mendapat penghinaan."
