Elihu Speaks of God’s Dealings with Mankind
1Berkatalah Elihu selanjutnya: 2"Bersabarlah sebentar, aku akan mengajar engkau, karena masih ada yang hendak kukatakan demi Allah. 3Aku akan meraih pengetahuanku dari jauh dan membenarkan Pembuatku; 4karena sungguh-sungguh, bukan dusta perkataanku, seorang yang sempurna pengetahuannya menghadapi engkau. 5Ketahuilah, Allah itu perkasa, namun tidak memandang hina apapun, Ia perkasa dalam kekuatan akal budi. 6Ia tidak membiarkan orang fasik hidup, tetapi memberi keadilan kepada orang-orang sengsara; 7Ia tidak mengalihkan pandangan mata-Nya dari orang benar, tetapi menempatkan mereka untuk selama-lamanya di samping raja-raja di atas takhta, sehingga mereka tinggi martabatnya. 8Jikalau mereka dibelenggu dengan rantai, tertangkap dalam tali kesengsaraan, 9maka Ia memperingatkan mereka kepada perbuatan mereka, dan kepada pelanggaran mereka, karena mereka berlaku congkak, 10dan ia membukakan telinga mereka bagi ajaran, dan menyuruh mereka berbalik dari kejahatan. 11Jikalau mereka mendengar dan takluk, maka mereka hidup mujur sampai akhir hari-hari mereka dan senang sampai akhir tahun-tahun mereka. 12Tetapi, jikalau mereka tidak mendengar, maka mereka akan mati oleh lembing, dan binasa dalam kebebalan. 13Orang-orang yang fasik hatinya menyimpan kemarahan; mereka tidak berteriak minta tolong, kalau mereka dibelenggu-Nya; 14nyawa mereka binasa di masa muda, dan hidup mereka berakhir sebelum saatnya. 15Dengan sengsara Ia menyelamatkan orang sengsara, dengan penindasan Ia membuka telinga mereka. 16Juga engkau dibujuk-Nya keluar dari dalam kesesakan, ke tempat yang luas, bebas dari tekanan, ke meja hidanganmu yang tenang dan penuh lemak.
1Then Elihu continued and said, 2“Wait for me a little, and I will show you
That there is still more to be said on God’s behalf. 3“I will bring my knowledge from afar,
And ascribe righteousness to my Maker. 4“For truly my words are not false;
One who is perfect in knowledge is with you. 5“Behold, God is mighty but does not reject anyone;
He is mighty in strength of understanding. 6“He does not keep the wicked alive,
But gives justice to the afflicted. 7“He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous,
But with kings on the throne
He has seated them forever, and they are exalted. 8“And if they are bound in shackles,
And are caught in the snares of misery, 9Then He declares to them their work
And their wrongdoings, that they have been arrogant. 10“He opens their ears to instruction,
And commands that they return from injustice. 11“If they listen and serve Him,
They will end their days in prosperity,
And their years in happiness. 12“But if they do not listen, they will perish by the sword,
And die without knowledge. 13“But the godless in heart nurture anger;
They do not call for help when He binds them. 14“They die in youth,
And their life perishes among the cult prostitutes. 15“He rescues the afflicted in their misery,
And opens their ears in time of oppression. 16“Then indeed, He induced you away from the mouth of distress,
And instead of it, a broad place with no constraint;
And your table was full of rich food.

17Tetapi engkau sudah mendapat hukuman orang fasik sepenuhnya, engkau dicengkeram hukuman dan keadilan; 18janganlah panas hati membujuk engkau berolok-olok, janganlah besarnya tebusan menyesatkan engkau. 19Dapatkah teriakanmu meluputkan engkau dari kesesakan, ataukah seluruh kekuatan jerih payahmu ? 20Janganlah merindukan malam hari, waktu bangsa-bangsa pergi dari tempatnya. 21Jagalah dirimu, janganlah berpaling kepada kejahatan, karena itulah sebabnya engkau dicobai oleh sengsara. 22Sesungguhnya, Allah itu mulia di dalam kekuasaan-Nya; siapakah guru seperti Dia? 23Siapakah akan menentukan jalan bagi-Nya, dan siapa berani berkata: Engkau telah berbuat curang ?
17“But you were full of judgment on the wicked;
Judgment and justice take hold of you. 18“Beware that wrath does not entice you to mockery;
And do not let the greatness of the ransom turn you aside. 19“Will your cry for help keep you from distress,
Or all the exertions of your strength? 20“Do not long for the night,
When people vanish in their places. 21“Be careful, do not turn to evil,
For you preferred this to misery. 22“Behold, God is exalted in His power;
Who is a teacher like Him? 23“Who has appointed Him His way,
And who has said, ‘You have done wrong’?

24Ingatlah, bahwa engkau harus menjunjung tinggi perbuatan-Nya, yang selalu dinyanyikan oleh manusia. 25Semua orang melihatnya, manusia memandangnya dari jauh. 26Sesungguhnya, Allah itu besar, tidak tercapai oleh pengetahuan kita, jumlah tahun-Nya tidak dapat diselidiki. 27Ia menarik ke atas titik-titik air, dan memekatkan kabut menjadi hujan, 28yang dicurahkan oleh mendung, dan disiramkan ke atas banyak manusia. 29Siapa mengerti berkembangnya awan, dan bunyi gemuruh di tempat kediaman-Nya ? 30Sesungguhnya, Ia mengembangkan terang-Nya di sekeliling-Nya, dan menudungi dasar laut. 31Karena dengan semuanya itu Ia mengadili bangsa-bangsa, dan juga memberi makan dengan berlimpah-limpah. 32Kedua tangan-Nya diselubungi-Nya dengan kilat petir dan menyuruhnya menyambar sasaran. 33Pekik perang-Nya memberitakan kedatangan-Nya, kalau dengan murka Ia berjuang melawan kecurangan."
24“Remember that you are to exalt His work,
Of which people have sung. 25“All people have seen it;
Mankind looks at it from afar. 26“Behold, God is exalted, and we do not know Him;
The number of His years is unsearchable. 27“For He draws up the drops of water;
They distill rain from its celestial stream, 28Which clouds pour down;
They drip upon mankind abundantly. 29“Can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds,
The thundering of His pavilion? 30“Behold, He spreads His lightning about Him,
And He covers the depths of the sea. 31“For by them He judges peoples;
He gives food in abundance. 32“He covers His hands with the lightning,
And commands it to strike the target. 33“Its thundering voice declares His presence;
The livestock also, concerning what is coming up.
