¹Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

¹Maka jawab Bildad, "Hai Ayub, kapankah kau habis bicara? Diamlah, dan dengarkanlah kini kami mau berkata-kata.

²How long will ye hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.

²(18:1)

³Wherefore are we counted as beasts, [And] are become unclean in your sight?

³Mengapa kauanggap kami dungu, dan kausamakan kami dengan lembu?

⁴Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for thee? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?

⁴Kemarahanmu hanya menyakiti dirimu. Haruskah untuk kepentinganmu bumi kehilangan penduduknya, dan gunung-gunung dipindahkan dari tempatnya?

⁵Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, And the spark of his fire shall not shine.

⁵Pelita orang jahat pasti dipadamkan; apinya tak akan pernah lagi dinyalakan.

⁶The light shall be dark in his tent, And his lamp above him shall be put out.

⁶Terang dalam kemahnya menjadi pudar; pelita penerangnya tidak lagi bersinar.

⁷The steps of his strength shall be straitened, And his own counsel shall cast him down.

⁷Langkahnya yang mantap menjadi terhuyung-huyung; rancangannya sendiri menyebabkan ia tersandung.

⁸For he is cast into a net by his own feet, And he walketh upon the toils.

⁸Ia berjalan ke dalam jaring, maka tersangkutlah kakinya.

⁹A gin shall take [him] by the heel, [And] a snare shall lay hold on him.

⁹Tumitnya terjerat oleh perangkap, sehingga tertangkaplah ia.

¹⁰A noose is hid for him in the ground, And a trap for him in the way.

¹⁰Di tanah, tersembunyi tali jerat; di jalan, terpasang jebak dan pikat.

¹¹Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, And shall chase him at his heels.

¹¹Orang jahat dikejutkan oleh kengerian dari segala arah; ketakutan mengikutinya langkah demi langkah.

¹²His strength shall be hunger-bitten, And calamity shall be ready at his side.

¹²Dahulu ia kuat, kini ia merana; bencana menemaninya di mana-mana.

¹³The members of his body shall be devoured, [Yea], the first-born of death shall devour his members.

¹³Kulitnya dimakan penyakit parah; lengan dan kakinya busuk bernanah.

¹⁴He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusteth; And he shall be brought to the king of terrors.

¹⁴Ia direnggut dari kemahnya, tempat ia merasa aman, lalu diseret untuk menghadap kematian.

¹⁵There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his: Brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

¹⁵Kini siapa saja boleh tinggal dalam kemahnya, dan di situ ditaburkan belerang, pembasmi penyakitnya.

¹⁶His roots shall be dried up beneath, And above shall his branch be cut off.

¹⁶Akar-akarnya gersang dan berkerut; ranting-rantingnya kering dan kisut.

¹⁷His remembrance shall perish from the earth, And he shall have no name in the street.

¹⁷Ia tak dikenal lagi di dalam maupun di luar kota; tak ada seorang pun yang masih ingat namanya.

¹⁸He shall be driven from light into darkness, And chased out of the world.

¹⁸Dari terang ia diusir ke dalam kegelapan; dari dunia orang hidup ia dienyahkan.

¹⁹He shall have neither son nor son's son among his people, Nor any remaining where he sojourned.

¹⁹Anak dan keturunan ia tak punya; di kampung halamannya seorang pun tak tersisa.

²⁰They that come after shall be astonished at his day, As they that went before were affrighted.

²⁰Mendengar nasibnya penduduk di barat terkejut, sedang penduduk di timur gemetar karena takut.

²¹Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous, And this is the place of him that knoweth not God.

²¹Begitulah nasib orang durhaka, mereka yang tidak mengindahkan Allah."
