Kesalehan Ayub dicoba 1:1 Ada seorang laki-laki di tanah Us bernama Ayub; orang itu saleh dan jujur; ia takut akan Allah dan menjauhi kejahatan. 1:2 Ia mendapat tujuh anak laki-laki dan tiga anak perempuan. 1:3 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. 1:4 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. 1:5 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. 1:6 Pada suatu hari datanglah anak-anak Allah menghadap TUHAN dan di antara mereka datanglah juga Iblis. 1:7 Maka bertanyalah TUHAN kepada Iblis: "Dari mana engkau?" Lalu jawab Iblis kepada TUHAN: "Dari perjalanan mengelilingi dan menjelajah bumi." 1:8 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." 1:9 Lalu jawab Iblis kepada TUHAN: "Apakah dengan tidak mendapat apa-apa Ayub takut akan Allah? 1:10 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. 1:11 Tetapi ulurkanlah tangan-Mu dan jamahlah segala yang dipunyainya, ia pasti mengutuki Engkau di hadapan-Mu." 1:12 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. 1:13 Pada suatu hari, ketika anak-anaknya yang lelaki dan yang perempuan makan-makan dan minum anggur di rumah saudara mereka yang sulung, 1:14 datanglah seorang pesuruh kepada Ayub dan berkata: "Sedang lembu sapi membajak dan keledai-keledai betina makan rumput di sebelahnya, 1:15 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." 1:16 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." 1:17 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." 1:18 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, 1:19 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." 1:20 Maka berdirilah Ayub, lalu mengoyak jubahnya, dan mencukur kepalanya, kemudian sujudlah ia dan menyembah, 1:21 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!" 1:22 Dalam kesemuanya itu Ayub tidak berbuat dosa dan tidak menuduh Allah berbuat yang kurang patut.

1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name [was] Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil.
1:2 And seven sons and three daughters were born to him.
1:3 Also, his possessions were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very large household, so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the East.
1:4 And his sons would go and feast [in their] houses, each on his [appointed] day, and would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
1:5 So it was, when the days of feasting had run their course, that Job would send and sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings [according to] the number of them all. For Job said, "It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts." Thus Job did regularly.
1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them.
1:7 And the LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" So Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it."
1:8 Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that [there is] none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?"
1:9 So Satan answered the LORD and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing?
1:10 "Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.
1:11 "But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face!"
1:12 And the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has [is] in your power; only do not lay a hand on his [person]." So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.
1:13 Now there was a day when his sons and daughters [were] eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house;
1:14 and a messenger came to Job and said, "The oxen were plowing and the donkeys feeding beside them,
1:15 "when the Sabeans raided [them] and took them awayindeed they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!"
1:16 While he [was] still speaking, another also came and said, "The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I alone have escaped to tell you!"
1:17 While he [was] still speaking, another also came and said, "The Chaldeans formed three bands, raided the camels and took them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!"
1:18 While he [was] still speaking, another also came and said, "Your sons and daughters [were] eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house,
1:19 "and suddenly a great wind came from across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they are dead; and I alone have escaped to tell you!"
1:20 Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell to the ground and worshiped.
1:21 And he said: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD."
1:22 In all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong.
