What is the time origin for the word tribulation?

In which language? The Old French usage of tribulacion dates from the 13th century. That comes from the Lower Latin tribulationem (nom. tribulatio) which dates from c.200 or thereabouts. That's probably about the time the early Christian writers picked it up. If not then, the Latin tribulare dates even further back to times BCE.
