Ayub 42
1 Jawab Ayub kepada TUHAN, "Aku tahu, ya TUHAN, bahwa Engkau Mahakuasa; Engkau sanggup melakukan apa saja.
Then answered Job unto the Lord, and said,
I acknowledge that thou art able to do every thing, and that no deep plan 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 he that dareth to conceal [thy] counsel without knowledge? Truly I have spoken of what I understood not, of things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4 Engkau menyuruh aku mendengarkan ketika Engkau bicara, dan memberi jawaban bila Engkau bertanya.
Oh do but hear [me], and I will indeed speak: I will ask of thee, and do thou inform me.
5 Dahulu, pengetahuanku tentang Engkau hanya kudengar dari orang saja, tetapi sekarang kukenal Engkau dengan berhadapan muka.
I had only heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye hath seen thee.
6 Oleh sebab itu aku malu mengingat segala perkataanku dan dengan menyesal aku duduk dalam debu dan abu."
Therefore I reject [what I have said], and repent; because I am 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 came to pass, after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Themanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; because ye have not spoken of me properly, like my servant Job.
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."
And now take unto yourselves seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up a burnt-offering in your behalf; and my servant Job shall pray for you; for him alone will I receive favorably, so as not to deal with you after your folly; because ye have not spoken of me properly, like my servant Job.
9 Elifas, Bildad dan Zofar melakukan apa yang disuruh TUHAN, dan TUHAN menerima doa Ayub.
Then went Eliphaz the Themanite and Bildad the Shuchite and Zophar the Na'amathite, and did in accordance with what the Lord had spoken to them: and the Lord received Job in favor.
10 Kemudian, setelah Ayub berdoa bagi ketiga temannya, TUHAN membuat dia kaya kembali dan memberikan kepadanya dua kali lipat dari segala kepunyaannya dahulu.
And the Lord brought back the captivity of Job, when he prayed in behalf of his friends; and the Lord increased all that Job had had twofold.
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.
And then came unto him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all that had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house; and they condoled with him, and comforted him for all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him; and they gave him, every one, a kessitah, and every one an earring 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.
And the Lord 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-asses.
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 there were not found such handsome women as the daughters of Job in all the land; and their father gave them an 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 Job lived after this one hundred and forty years: and he saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
17 Lalu meninggallah Ayub dalam usia yang lanjut sekali.
Then died Job, being old and full of days.
