| Ayub 19 | Job 19 |
| Ayub yakin bahwa Allah akan memihak kepadanya 19:1 Tetapi Ayub menjawab: 19:2 "Berapa lama lagi kamu menyakitkan hatiku, dan meremukkan aku dengan perkataan? 19:3 Sekarang telah sepuluh kali kamu menghina aku, kamu tidak malu menyiksa aku. 19:4 Jika aku sungguh tersesat, maka aku sendiri yang menanggung kesesatanku itu. 19:5 Jika kamu sungguh hendak membesarkan diri terhadap aku, dan membuat celaku sebagai bukti terhadap diriku, 19:6 insafilah, bahwa Allah telah berlaku tidak adil terhadap aku, dan menebarkan jala-Nya atasku. 19:7 Sesungguhnya, aku berteriak: Kelaliman!, tetapi tidak ada yang menjawab. Aku berseru minta tolong, tetapi tidak ada keadilan. 19:8 Jalanku ditutup-Nya dengan tembok, sehingga aku tidak dapat melewatinya, dan jalan-jalanku itu dibuat-Nya gelap. 19:9 Ia telah menanggalkan kemuliaanku dan merampas mahkota di kepalaku. 19:10 Ia membongkar aku di semua tempat, sehingga aku lenyap, dan seperti pohon harapanku dicabut-Nya. 19:11 Murka-Nya menyala terhadap aku, dan menganggap aku sebagai lawan-Nya. 19:12 Pasukan-Nya maju serentak, mereka merintangi jalan melawan aku, lalu mengepung kemahku. 19:13 Saudara-saudaraku dijauhkan-Nya dari padaku, dan kenalan-kenalanku tidak lagi mengenal aku. 19:14 Kaum kerabatku menghindar, dan kawan-kawanku melupakan aku. 19:15 Anak semang dan budak perempuanku menganggap aku orang yang tidak dikenal, aku dipandang mereka orang asing. 19:16 Kalau aku memanggil budakku, ia tidak menyahut; aku harus membujuknya dengan kata-kata manis. 19:17 Nafasku menimbulkan rasa jijik kepada isteriku, dan bauku memualkan saudara-saudara sekandungku. 19:18 Bahkan kanak-kanakpun menghina aku, kalau aku mau berdiri, mereka mengejek aku. 19:19 Semua teman karibku merasa muak terhadap aku; dan mereka yang kukasihi, berbalik melawan aku. 19:20 Tulangku melekat pada kulit dan dagingku, dan hanya gusiku yang tinggal padaku. 19:21 Kasihanilah aku, kasihanilah aku, hai sahabat-sahabatku, karena tangan Allah telah menimpa aku. 19:22 Mengapa kamu mengejar aku, seakan-akan Allah, dan tidak menjadi kenyang makan dagingku? 19:23 Ah, kiranya perkataanku ditulis, dicatat dalam kitab, 19:24 terpahat dengan besi pengukir dan timah pada gunung batu untuk selama-lamanya! 19:25 Tetapi aku tahu: Penebusku hidup, dan akhirnya Ia akan bangkit di atas debu. 19:26 Juga sesudah kulit tubuhku sangat rusak, tanpa dagingkupun aku akan melihat Allah, 19:27 yang aku sendiri akan melihat memihak kepadaku; mataku sendiri menyaksikan-Nya dan bukan orang lain. Hati sanubariku merana karena rindu. 19:28 Kalau kamu berkata: Kami akan menuntut dia dan mendapatkan padanya sebab perkaranya!, 19:29 takutlah kepada pedang, karena kegeraman mendatangkan hukuman pedang, agar kamu tahu, bahwa ada pengadilan." | 19:1 Then Job answered and said: 19:2 "How long will you torment my soul, And break me in pieces with words? 19:3 These ten times you have reproached me; You are not ashamed [that] you have wronged me. 19:4 And if indeed I have erred, My error remains with me. 19:5 If indeed you exalt [yourselves] against me, And plead my disgrace against me, 19:6 Know then that God has wronged me, And has surrounded me with His net. 19:7 "If I cry out concerning wrong, I am not heard. If I cry aloud, [there is] no justice. 19:8 He has fenced up my way, so that I cannot pass; And He has set darkness in my paths. 19:9 He has stripped me of my glory, And taken the crown [from] my head. 19:10 He breaks me down on every side, And I am gone; My hope He has uprooted like a tree. 19:11 He has also kindled His wrath against me, And He counts me as [one of] His enemies. 19:12 His troops come together And build up their road against me; They encamp all around my tent. 19:13 "He has removed my brothers far from me, And my acquaintances are completely estranged from me. 19:14 My relatives have failed, And my close friends have forgotten me. 19:15 Those who dwell in my house, and my maidservants, Count me as a stranger; I am an alien in their sight. 19:16 I call my servant, but he gives no answer; I beg him with my mouth. 19:17 My breath is offensive to my wife, And I am repulsive to the children of my own body. 19:18 Even young children despise me; I arise, and they speak against me. 19:19 All my close friends abhor me, And those whom I love have turned against me. 19:20 My bone clings to my skin and to my flesh, And I have escaped by the skin of my teeth. 19:21 "Have pity on me, have pity on me, O you my friends, For the hand of God has struck me! 19:22 Why do you persecute me as God [does], And are not satisfied with my flesh? 19:23 "Oh, that my words were written! Oh, that they were inscribed in a book! 19:24 That they were engraved on a rock With an iron pen and lead, forever! 19:25 For I know [that] my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth; 19:26 And after my skin is destroyed, this [I know], That in my flesh I shall see God, 19:27 Whom I shall see for myself, And my eyes shall behold, and not another. [How] my heart yearns within me! 19:28 If you should say, `How shall we persecute him?' Since the root of the matter is found in me, 19:29 Be afraid of the sword for yourselves; For wrath [brings] the punishment of the sword, That you may know [there is] a judgment." |
