Elihu Vindicates God’s Justice
1Maka berbicaralah Elihu: 2"Dengarkanlah perkataanku, kamu orang-orang yang mempunyai hikmat, berilah telinga kepadaku, kamu orang-orang yang berakal budi. 3Karena telinga itu menguji kata-kata, seperti langit-langit mencecap makanan. 4Biarlah kita memutuskan bagi kita sendiri apa yang adil, menentukan bersama-sama apa yang baik. 5Karena Ayub berkata: Aku benar, tetapi Allah mengambil hakku; 6kendati aku mempunyai hak aku dianggap berdusta, sekalipun aku tidak melakukan pelanggaran, lukaku tidak dapat sembuh lagi. 7Siapakah seperti Ayub, yang minum hujatan terhadap Allah seperti air, 8yang mencari persekutuan dengan orang-orang yang melakukan kejahatan dan bergaul dengan orang-orang fasik ? 9Karena ia telah berkata: Tidak berguna bagi manusia, kalau ia dikenan Allah.
1Then Elihu continued and said, 2“Hear my words, you wise men,
And listen to me, you who understand. 3“For the ear tests words
As the palate tastes food. 4“Let us choose for ourselves what is right;
Let us understand among ourselves what is good. 5“For Job has said, ‘I am righteous,
But God has taken away my right; 6Should I lie about my right?
My wound is incurable, though I am without wrongdoing.’ 7“What man is like Job,
Who drinks up derision like water, 8Who goes in company with the workers of injustice,
And walks with wicked people? 9“For he has said, ‘It is of no use to a man
When he becomes friends with God.’

10Oleh sebab itu, kamu orang-orang yang berakal budi, dengarkanlah aku: Jauhlah dari pada Allah untuk melakukan kefasikan, dan dari pada Yang Mahakuasa untuk berbuat curang. 11Malah Ia mengganjar manusia sesuai perbuatannya, dan membuat setiap orang mengalami sesuai kelakuannya. 12Sungguh, Allah tidak berlaku curang, Yang Mahakuasa tidak membengkokkan keadilan. 13Siapa mempercayakan bumi kepada-Nya ? Siapa membebankan alam semesta kepada-Nya? 14Jikalau Ia menarik kembali Roh-Nya, dan mengembalikan nafas-Nya pada-Nya, 15maka binasalah bersama-sama segala yang hidup, dan kembalilah manusia kepada debu.
10“Therefore, listen to me, you men of understanding.
Far be it from God to do evil,
And from the Almighty to do wrong. 11“For He repays a person for his work,
And lets things happen in correspondence to a man’s behavior. 12“God certainly will not act wickedly,
And the Almighty will not pervert justice. 13“Who gave Him authority over the earth?
And who has placed the whole world on Him? 14“If He were to determine to do so,
If He were to gather His spirit and His breath to Himself, 15Humanity would perish together,
And mankind would return to dust.

16Jikalau engkau berakal budi, dengarkanlah ini, pasanglah telinga kepada apa yang kuucapkan. 17Dapatkah pembenci keadilan memegang kekuasaan, dan apakah engkau mau mempersalahkan Dia yang adil dan perkasa, 18Dia yang berfirman kepada raja: Hai, orang dursila, kepada para bangsawan: Hai, orang fasik; 19Dia yang tidak memihak kepada para pembesar, dan tidak mengutamakan orang yang terkemuka dari pada orang kecil, karena mereka sekalian adalah buatan tangan-Nya ? 20Dalam sekejap mata mereka mati, ya, pada tengah malam orang dikejutkan dan binasa; mereka yang perkasa dilenyapkan bukan oleh tangan orang.
16“But if you have understanding, hear this;
Listen to the sound of my words. 17“Shall one who hates justice rule?
And will you condemn the righteous mighty One, 18Who says to a king, ‘You worthless one,’
To nobles, ‘You wicked one’; 19Who shows no partiality to the prominent,
Nor regards the rich as above the poor,
Since they are all the work of His hands? 20“In a moment they die, and at midnight
People are shaken and pass away,
And the powerful are taken away without a hand.

21Karena mata-Nya mengawasi jalan manusia, dan Ia melihat segala langkahnya; 22tidak ada kegelapan ataupun kelam kabut, di mana orang-orang yang melakukan kejahatan dapat bersembunyi. 23Karena bagi manusia Ia tidak menentukan waktu untuk datang menghadap Allah supaya diadili, 24orang-orang yang perkasa diremukkan-Nya dengan tidak diperiksa, dan orang-orang lain diangkat-Nya ganti mereka. 25Jadi, Ia mengetahui perbuatan mereka, dan menggulingkan mereka di waktu malam, sehingga mereka hancur lebur. 26Mereka ditampar-Nya karena kefasikan mereka, dengan dilihat orang banyak, 27karena mereka meninggalkan-Nya, dan tidak mengindahkan satupun dari pada jalan-Nya, 28sehingga mereka menyebabkan jeritan orang miskin naik ke hadapan-Nya, dan Ia mendengar jeritan orang sengsara. 29-- Kalau Dia berdiam diri, siapa akan menjatuhkan hukuman ? Kalau Dia menyembunyikan wajah-Nya, siapa akan melihat Dia, baik itu sesuatu bangsa atau orang seorang ? --, 30supaya jangan menjadi raja orang fasik yang adalah jerat bagi orang banyak.
21“For His eyes are upon the ways of a person,
And He sees all his steps. 22“There is no darkness or deep shadow
Where the workers of injustice can hide themselves. 23“For He does not need to consider a person further,
That he should go before God in judgment. 24“He breaks in pieces the mighty without investigation,
And sets others in their place. 25“Therefore He knows their deeds,
And He overthrows them in the night,
And they are crushed. 26“He strikes them like the wicked
In a public place, 27Because they turned aside from following Him,
And had no regard for any of His ways, 28So that they caused the cry of the poor to come to Him,
And that He would hear the cry of the afflicted— 29When He keeps quiet, who can condemn?
And when He hides His face, who then can look at Him,
That is, regarding both nation and a person?— 30“So that godless people would not rule,
Nor be snares for the people.

31Tetapi kalau seseorang berkata kepada Allah: Aku telah menyombongkan diri, tetapi aku tidak akan lagi berbuat jahat; 32apa yang tidak kumengerti, ajarkanlah kepadaku; jikalau aku telah berbuat curang, maka aku tidak akan berbuat lagi, 33menurut hematmu apakah Allah harus melakukan pembalasan karena engkau yang menolak ? Jadi, engkau jugalah yang harus memutuskan, bukan aku; katakanlah apa yang engkau tahu ! 34Maka orang-orang yang berakal budi dan orang yang mempunyai hikmat yang mendengarkan aku akan berkata kepadaku: 35Ayub berbicara tanpa pengetahuan, dan perkataannya tidak mengandung pengertian. 36Ah, kiranya Ayub diuji terus-menerus, karena ia menjawab seperti orang-orang jahat ! 37Karena ia menambahkan dosanya dengan pelanggaran, ia mengepalkan tangan di antara kami dan banyak bicara terhadap Allah."
31“For has anyone said to God,
‘I have endured punishment;
I will not offend anymore; 32Teach me what I do not see;
If I have done wrong,
I will not do it again’? 33“Shall God repay on your terms, because you have rejected His?
For you must choose, and not I;
Therefore declare what you know. 34“Men of understanding will say to me,
And a wise man who hears me, 35‘Job speaks without knowledge,
And his words are without wisdom. 36‘Oh that Job were tested to the limit,
Because he answers like sinners. 37‘For he adds rebellion to his sin;
He claps his hands among us,
And multiplies his words against God.’”
