Job 11
1 Unya mitubag si Sophar nga Naamathitanhon, ug miingon:
Then Zophar, from [the] Naamah [area], said this to Job:
2 Dili ba kinahanglan tubagon ang daghang mga pulong? Ug pakamatarungon ba ang tawo nga hinulti?
“(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 Makapahilum ba sa mga katawohan ang imong mga pagpangandak? Ug sa magayubit ikaw wala bay tawo nga arang 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 nagaingon: Ang akong pagtolon-an ulay man, Ug ako mahinlo sa atubangan sa imong mga mata.
You say, ‘What I say is true; God knows that I am (innocent/without guilt).’
5 Apan oh, nga mosulti pa lamang unta ang Dios, Ug magabuka sa iyang mga ngabil batok kanimo,
But I wish/desire that God would talk and say something [MTY] to answer you!
6 Ug nga tudloan ka niya sa mga tinago sa kaalam! Kay kaniya sa pagkamasinabuton walay makatupong. Busa hibaloi nga ang Dios nagapaningil sa labing diyutay kay sa silot nga angay sa imong kasal-anan.
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 Makakaplag ka ba sa Dios pinaagi sa pagpangita? Makakab-ut ka ba sa pagkahingpit sa Makagagahum?
[“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 Sama sa gitas-on sa kalangitan; unsa ang arang mong mahimo? Labing halalum kay sa Sheol; unsa ang arang mong kahibaloan? (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 iyang gidak-on labing daku kay sa kalibutan, Ug labing halapad kay sa kadagatan.
What there is to know about God is wider than the earth and wider than the ocean.
10 Kong siya molabang, ug kong iyang pagatak-umon, Ug kong iyang tigumon ngadto sa paghukom, nan kinsa ang arang makasalanta 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 siya nasayud sa mga tawong malimbongon: Siya makakita usab sa kasal-anan, bisan tuod dili siya magatagad niana.
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 Ang tawong hungog walay salabutan, Oo, ang tawo ipanganak ingon sa anak sa usa ka asnong ihalas.
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 Kong ikaw magtarung sa imong kasingkasing, Ug ituy-od mo kaniya ang imong kamot:
“Job, repent [IDM]; reach out your hands to seek God’s help.
14 Kong ang kasal-anan anaa sa imong kamot, ipahilayo kana kanimo, Ug ang pagkadili-matarung ayaw papuy-a sa imong mga balong-balong.
If you have done evil things, stop doing them; and do not allow any people in your house to do wicked things.
15 Sa walay duhaduha makayahat ka unya sa imong nawong nga walay buling; Oo, ikaw mahimong lig-on ug dili magakahadlok:
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 Kay ikaw mahakalimot sa imong kaalaut; Ikaw mahinumdum niana ingon sa mga tubig nga manglabay.
You will forget all your troubles; they will be like [the] water [of a flood] that has all disappeared.
17 Ug ang imong kinabuhi modan-ag labi pa kay sa udto; Maingon kana sa kabuntagon bisan pa anaay kangitngit.
[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 Ug ikaw magmalig-on kay anaa may paglaum; Oo, ikaw magapangita sa libut nimo, ug sa lig-on ikaw mopahulay.
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 Ikaw magahigda usab, ug walay bisan kinsa nga makapahadlok kanimo; Oo, daghanan ang mohangyo kanimo.
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 ang mga mata sa mga malinapason makawang, Ug sila walay dalangpanan nga ilang pagakalagiwan; Ug ang ilang paglaum mao ang pagpanugyan sa espiritu.
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]”
