¹And Bildad the Shuhite answered 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? Be intelligent, and then we will speak.

²(18:1)

³Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed stupid 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? and 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 flame of his fire shall not shine.

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

⁶The light shall become dark in his tent, and his lamp over 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 sent into the net by his own feet, and he walketh on the meshes;

⁸Ia berjalan ke dalam jaring, maka tersangkutlah kakinya.

⁹The gin taketh [him] by the heel, the snare layeth hold on him;

⁹Tumitnya terjerat oleh perangkap, sehingga tertangkaplah ia.

¹⁰A cord is hidden for him in the ground, and his trap in the way.

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

¹¹Terrors make him afraid on every side, and chase him at his footsteps.

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

¹²His strength is hunger-bitten, and calamity is ready at his side.

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

¹³The firstborn of death devoureth the members of his body; it will devour his members.

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

¹⁴His confidence shall be rooted out of his tent, and it shall lead him away to the king of terrors:

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

¹⁵They who are none of his shall dwell in his tent; brimstone shall be showered 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 on the pasture-grounds.

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

¹⁸He is 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 hath neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining in the places of his sojourn.

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 [them] were affrighted.

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

²¹Surely, such are the dwellings of the unrighteous man, and such the place of him that knoweth not ùGod.

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