Ayub 42
1 Jawab Ayub kepada TUHAN, "Aku tahu, ya TUHAN, bahwa Engkau Mahakuasa; Engkau sanggup melakukan apa saja.
Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,
I know that thou can do all things, and that no purpose of thine can be restrained.
3 Engkau bertanya mengapa aku berani meragukan hikmat-Mu padahal aku sendiri tidak tahu menahu. Aku bicara tentang hal-hal yang tidak kumengerti, tentang hal-hal yang terlalu ajaib bagiku ini.
Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
4 Engkau menyuruh aku mendengarkan ketika Engkau bicara, dan memberi jawaban bila Engkau bertanya.
Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak, I will ask of thee, and declare thou to me.
5 Dahulu, pengetahuanku tentang Engkau hanya kudengar dari orang saja, tetapi sekarang kukenal Engkau dengan berhadapan muka.
I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees thee.
6 Oleh sebab itu aku malu mengingat segala perkataanku dan dengan menyesal aku duduk dalam debu dan abu."
Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
7 Setelah selesai berbicara kepada Ayub, berkatalah TUHAN kepada Elifas, "Aku marah kepadamu dan kepada kedua temanmu, karena kamu tidak mengatakan yang sebenarnya tentang diri-Ku. Tetapi hamba-Ku Ayub tidaklah demikian.
And it was so, that, after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends. For ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
8 Nah, ambillah sekarang tujuh ekor sapi jantan dan tujuh ekor domba jantan, dan pergilah kepada Ayub. Kemudian persembahkanlah semuanya itu sebagai kurban bakaran untuk dirimu. Ayub akan berdoa untuk kamu dan doanya akan Kuterima. Kamu tidak akan Kupermalukan, meskipun kamu patut menerima hukuman. Kamu tidak mengatakan yang sebenarnya tentang diri-Ku, sedangkan Ayub mengatakannya."
Now therefore, take to you seven bullocks and seven rams. And go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering. And my servant Job shall pray for you, for him I will accept, that I not deal with you after your folly. For ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
9 Elifas, Bildad dan Zofar melakukan apa yang disuruh TUHAN, dan TUHAN menerima doa Ayub.
So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did according as Jehovah commanded them, and Jehovah accepted Job.
10 Kemudian, setelah Ayub berdoa bagi ketiga temannya, TUHAN membuat dia kaya kembali dan memberikan kepadanya dua kali lipat dari segala kepunyaannya dahulu.
And Jehovah turned back the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends. And Jehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11 Semua abang dan saudara perempuan Ayub, serta semua kenalannya yang lama, datang mengunjunginya lalu berpesta bersama-sama dia di rumahnya. Mereka menyatakan turut berdukacita atas segala kesusahan yang telah didatangkan TUHAN ke atasnya, dan menghibur dia. Masing-masing di antara mereka memberikan sejumlah uang dan sebuah cincin emas kepada Ayub.
Then there came to him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him. Each man also gave him a piece of money, and each one a ring of gold.
12 Ayub diberkati TUHAN dengan lebih berlimpah dalam sisa hidupnya, daripada masa sebelum ia mengalami musibah. Ayub memiliki 14.000 ekor kambing domba, 6.000 ekor unta, 2.000 ekor sapi, dan 1.000 ekor keledai.
So Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-donkeys.
13 Ia mendapat tujuh orang anak laki-laki dan tiga orang anak perempuan.
He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14 Anak perempuannya yang pertama dinamakannya Yemima, yang kedua Kezia, dan yang bungsu Kerenhapukh.
And he called the name of the first, Jemimah, and the name of the second, Keziah, and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
15 Di seluruh negeri tidak ada gadis secantik ketiga anak perempuan Ayub. Mereka diberi bagian dalam warisan ayahnya, sama dengan saudara-saudara mereka yang laki-laki.
And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job. And their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.
16 Sesudah itu Ayub masih hidup seratus empat puluh tahun lamanya, sehingga ia sempat melihat cucu-cucunya serta anak-anak mereka.
And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
17 Lalu meninggallah Ayub dalam usia yang lanjut sekali.
So Job died, being old and full of days.
