Job 2
1 And the day is, that sons of God come to station themselves by YHWH, and there also comes Satan in their midst to station himself by YHWH.
Muling dumating ang araw para humarap kay Yahweh ang mga anak ng Diyos, pumunta rin si Satanas para iharap ang kaniyang sarili kay Yahweh.
2 And YHWH says to Satan, “From where have you come?” And Satan answers YHWH and says, “From going to and fro in the land, and from walking up and down in it.”
Tinanong ni Yahweh si Satanas, “Saan ka naman nanggaling ngayon?” Sumagot si Satanas, “Galing ako sa paglalakad sa lupa nang pabalik-balik.”
3 And YHWH says to Satan, “Have you set your heart to My servant Job because there is none like him in the land, a man perfect and upright, fearing God and turning aside from evil? And still he is keeping hold on his integrity, and you move Me against him to swallow him up for nothing!”
Nagtanong muli si Yahweh kay Satanas, “Ano naman ang masasabi mo sa lingkod kong si Job? Sapagkat wala siyang katulad sa mundong ito, walang maipipintas at tapat na tao, may takot sa Diyos at tumatalikod sa lahat ng kasamaan. Nananatili pa rin siya sa kaniyang integridad kahit na pinilit mo akong gumawa ng laban sa kaniya, para sirain siya nang walang dahilan.”
4 And Satan answers YHWH and says, “A skin for a skin, and all that a man has he gives for his life.
Sumagot si Satanas kay Yahweh at sinabing, “Balat sa balat naman; kayang ibigay ng tao ang lahat-lahat ng pag-aari niya para lamang siya mabuhay.
5 Yet, put forth Your hand now, and strike to his bone and to his flesh—if not, he blesses You to Your face!”
Pero subukan mong iunat ang iyong kamay at galawin ang kaniyang mga buto at katawan, tingnan mo kung hindi ka niya isumpa nang harapan.”
6 And YHWH says to Satan, “Behold, he [is] in your hand; only take care of his life.”
Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Satanas, “Sige, siya ay nasa iyong mga kamay, pero huwag mo lang siyang babawian ng buhay.”
7 And Satan goes forth from the presence of YHWH, and strikes Job with a severe ulcer from the sole of his foot to his crown.
Kaya umalis si Satanas sa presensiya ni Yahweh at nilagyan ng mga malubhang pigsa si Job mula sa kaniyang talampakan hanggang sa bumbunan.
8 And he takes to him a potsherd to scrape himself with it, and he is sitting in the midst of the ashes.
Pumulot si Job ng isang piraso ng basag na palayok para kayurin ang sarili gamit nito, saka siya umupo sa ibabaw ng mga abo.
9 And his wife says to him, “You are still keeping hold on your integrity: bless God and die.”
Saka sinabi sa kaniya ng kaniyang asawa, “Panghahawakan mo pa rin ba ang iyong integridad? Isumpa mo na ang Diyos at mamatay ka na.”
10 And he says to her, “As one of the foolish women speaks, you speak; indeed, do we receive the good from God, and we do not receive the bad?” In all this Job has not sinned with his lips.
Pero sinabi niya sa kaniyang asawa, “Kung makapagsalita ka parang wala kang isip, hindi mo ba naisip na hindi lang kabutihan ang maaari nating maranasan sa kamay ng Diyos at maaari rin tayong makaranas ng masama?” Sa lahat ng pangyayaring ito, hindi nagkasala si Job sa kaniyang mga labi.
11 And three of the friends of Job hear of all this evil that has come on him, and they each come in from his place—Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite—and they have met together to come to bemoan him, and to comfort him;
Ngayon naman, nabalitaan ng tatlong kaibigan ni Job ang lahat ng masamang nangyari sa kaniya, nilisan nila ang kani-kanilang lugar para puntahan si Job: Si Eliphaz na Temaneo, Bildad na Shuhita, at Zophar na Naamita. Naglaan sila ng panahon para makidalamhati sa kaniya at aliwin siya.
12 and they lift up their eyes from afar and have not discerned him, and they lift up their voice and weep, and each tears his robe, and sprinkle dust on their heads—heavenward.
Nang tumanaw sila sa kalayuan, hindi nila agad nakilala si Job, napahiyaw sila at humagulgol sa iyak; pinunit ng bawat isa ang kani-kaniyang damit, nagsaboy ng abo sa hangin at sa kanilang mga ulo.
13 And they sit with him on the earth seven days and seven nights, and there is none speaking to him a word when they have seen that the pain has been very great.
Saka sila umupo sa tabi ni Job sa loob ng pitong araw at pitong gabi, wala ni isa sa kanila ang nangahas magsalita sa kaniya, dahil nakita nila ang sobrang hirap ni Job.
