¹Then Job answered Yahweh,

¹Jawab Ayub kepada TUHAN, "Aku tahu, ya TUHAN, bahwa Engkau Mahakuasa; Engkau sanggup melakukan apa saja.

²“I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.

²(42:1)

³You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know.

³Engkau 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.

⁴You said, ‘Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.’

⁴Engkau menyuruh aku mendengarkan ketika Engkau bicara, dan memberi jawaban bila Engkau bertanya.

⁵I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.

⁵Dahulu, pengetahuanku tentang Engkau hanya kudengar dari orang saja, tetapi sekarang kukenal Engkau dengan berhadapan muka.

⁶Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”

⁶Oleh sebab itu aku malu mengingat segala perkataanku dan dengan menyesal aku duduk dalam debu dan abu."

⁷It was so, that after Yahweh had spoken these words to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

⁷Setelah 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.

⁸Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.”

⁸Nah, 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."

⁹So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did what Yahweh commanded them, and Yahweh accepted Job.

⁹Elifas, Bildad dan Zofar melakukan apa yang disuruh TUHAN, dan TUHAN menerima doa Ayub.

¹⁰Yahweh turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends. Yahweh gave Job twice as much as he had before.

¹⁰Kemudian, setelah Ayub berdoa bagi ketiga temannya, TUHAN membuat dia kaya kembali dan memberikan kepadanya dua kali lipat dari segala kepunyaannya dahulu.

¹¹Then came there to him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that Yahweh had brought on him. Everyone also gave him a piece of money, literally, kesitah, a unit of money, probably silver and everyone a ring of gold.

¹¹Semua 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.

¹²So Yahweh blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.

¹²Ayub 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.

¹³He had also seven sons and three daughters.

¹³Ia mendapat tujuh orang anak laki-laki dan tiga orang anak perempuan.

¹⁴He called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren Happuch.

¹⁴Anak perempuannya yang pertama dinamakannya Yemima, yang kedua Kezia, dan yang bungsu Kerenhapukh.

¹⁵In all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job. Their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.

¹⁵Di seluruh negeri tidak ada gadis secantik ketiga anak perempuan Ayub. Mereka diberi bagian dalam warisan ayahnya, sama dengan saudara-saudara mereka yang laki-laki.

¹⁶After this Job lived one hundred forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, to four generations.

¹⁶Sesudah itu Ayub masih hidup seratus empat puluh tahun lamanya, sehingga ia sempat melihat cucu-cucunya serta anak-anak mereka.

¹⁷So Job died, being old and full of days.

¹⁷Lalu meninggallah Ayub dalam usia yang lanjut sekali.
