Job 11
1 Unya si Zophar nga taga-Naama mitubag ug miingon,
Then Zophar, from [the] Naamah [area], said this to Job:
2 “Dili ba kinahanglan man tubagon ang daghang mga pulong? Dili ba kining tawhana nga puno sa pangatarungan, pagatuohan?
“(Should no one answer all that you have said?/Someone should certainly answer all that you have said.) [RHQ] Just because you talk a lot, (should that cause us to declare that you (are innocent/have done nothing wrong)?/that should not cause us to declare that you (are innocent/have done nothing wrong).) [RHQ]
3 Makapahilom ba sa mga tawo ang imong pagpanghambog? Sa pagbiaybiay mo sa among gipanudlo, wala bay tawo nga makapakaulaw kanimo?
Job, (should your babbling cause us to be silent?/your babbling should certainly not cause us to be silent.) [RHQ] When you make fun of us, shall no one [rebuke you and] cause you to be ashamed?
4 Kay ikaw nag-ingon sa Dios, 'Ang akong gituohan putli, ug hingpit ako sa imong mga mata.'
You say, ‘What I say is true; God knows that I am (innocent/without guilt).’
5 'Apan, O kung magasulti pa lamang unta ang Dios ug magabuka pa unta sa iyang ngabil batok kanimo;
But I wish/desire that God would talk and say something [MTY] to answer you!
6 nga ikapakita pa unta niya kanimo ang mga tinago nga kaalam! Kay walay makatupong sa iyang pagkamasinabuton. Nan, hibaloi gayod nga ang Dios maningil gikan kanimo sa labing diyutay kay sa silot nga angay sa imong mga kasaypanan.
God knows everything about everything, so I wish/desire that he would tell you the secrets that he knows because he is wise. But you need to know that God is punishing you less than you deserve!
7 Makasabot ka ba sa Dios pinaagi sa pagpangita kaniya? Makab-ot mo ba ang kahingpit sa Makagagahom?
[“Tell me], will you ever be able to find out the things about God that are very difficult to understand? Will you be able to find out everything that there is to know about Almighty God?
8 Ang mga butang sama sa gitas-on sa kalangitan; unsa man ang imong mabuhat? Labing halalom kini kay sa Seol; unsa man ang imong masayran? (Sheol h7585)
[What there is to know about God] is greater than [the distance from earth to] heaven; so there is no way [RHQ] that you can [understand it all]. It is greater than [the distance from here to] the place of the dead; so it is impossible for you [RHQ] to know it all. (Sheol h7585)
9 Ang gitas-on niini mas hataas pa kay sa kalibotan, ug mas halapad pa kay sa kadagatan.
What there is to know about God is wider than the earth and wider than the ocean.
10 Kung molabay siya ug mopahilom kang bisan kinsa, kung manawag siya kang bisan kinsa aron maghukom, nan kinsa man ang arang makapugong kaniya?
“If God comes to you and puts you in prison and then brings you to a court, (who can stop him?/no one can stop him.) [RHQ]
11 Kay nasayod siya sa mga tawong malimbungon; Kung makakita siya ug kasaypanan, dili ba siya magatagad niini?
He knows which people are worthless; and when he sees people doing wicked things, (will he ignore it?/he will certainly not ignore it!) [RHQ]
12 Apan ang tawong buangbuang walay salabutan; makakuha na sila niini kung ang usa ka ihalas nga asno manganak na ug usa ka tawo.
Stupid people [like you] will start to become wise [SAR] when wild donkeys [stop giving birth to wild donkeys and] start giving birth to tame donkeys.
13 Apan pananglitan gipakamatarong mo ang imong kasingkasing ug gituy-od mo ang imong mga kamot sa Dios;
“Job, repent [IDM]; reach out your hands to seek God’s help.
14 pananglitan ang kasaypanan anaa sa imong kamot, apan gipahilayo mo kini gikan kanimo, ug wala mo tugoti nga ang pagkadili-matarong magpuyo sa imong mga tolda.
If you have done evil things, stop doing them; and do not allow any people in your house to do wicked things.
15 Nan makayahat ka gayod sa imong panagway nga walay ilhanan sa kaulawan; sa pagkatinuod, mahimo kang lig-on ug dili mahadlok.
If you do what I have said, surely you will lift up your head because you will not be ashamed; you will be strong, and not afraid [of anything].
16 Mahikalimot ka sa imong kaalaot; mahinumduman mo lamang nga kini sama sa tubig nga midagayday.
You will forget all your troubles; they will be like [the] water [of a flood] that has all disappeared.
17 Mohayag pa ang imong kinabuhi labaw kay sa udto; bisan aduna pay kangitngit, mahisama kini sa kabuntagon.
[Your troubles will be ended, like the darkness ends] at the dawn; [it will be as though] [MET] the sun is shining brightly on you, like [it shines] at noon.
18 May kasigurohan ka tungod kay adunay paglaom; oo tinuod gayod, makakaplag ka ug kaluwasan mahitungod kanimo ug makapahulay ka nga luwas.
You will feel safe/secure, because you will confidently expect [that good things will happen to you]; God will protect you and enable you to rest safely [each night].
19 Magahigda ka usab, ug walay makapahadlok kanimo; sa pagkatinuod, daghan ang magahangyo sa imong kaayo.
You will lie down, and no one will cause you to be afraid. And many people will come and request you to do things for them.
20 Apan mapakyas ang mga mata sa mga tawong daotan; wala silay agianan nga kaikyasan; ang ila lamang paglaom mao ang kataposang gininhawa sa kinabuhi.”
But wicked people [SYN] will not be able to understand [why bad things are happening to them]; they will not have any way to escape [from their troubles]. The only thing that they will want to do is to die. [EUP]”
