Job 1
1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job, and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turning away from evil.
May isang lalaki sa lupain ng Uz na ang pangalan ay Job; walang maipipintas kay Job at siya ay matuwid, may takot siya sa Diyos at tumatalikod sa anumang kasamaan.
2 There were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
Binigyan siya ng pitong anak na lalaki at tatlong anak na babae.
3 His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the east.
May pag-aari siyang pitong libong mga tupa, tatlong libong kamelyo, limang daang pares ng mga baka, at limang daang mga asno at napakaraming mga lingkod. Ang lalaking ito ang pinaka-dakila sa lahat ng tao sa Silangan.
4 His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his day; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
Sa bawat araw na may kani-kaniyang pagdiriwang ang mga anak na lalaki, ipinapatawag nila ang kanilang tatlong kapatid na babae para kumain at uminom kasama nila.
5 It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, "It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts." Job did so continually.
Pagkatapos ng mga araw ng pista, sila ay ipinapatawag at muli silang itatalaga ni Job sa Diyos. Babangon siya nang maagang-maaga at mag-aalay ng sinunog na handog para sa bawat kaniyang mga anak, dahil iniisip niya na, “Marahil nagkasala ang aking mga anak at isinumpa ang Diyos sa kanilang mga puso.” Ito ay laging ginagawa ni Job.
6 Now it happened on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before YHWH, that Satan also came among them.
At dumating naman ang isang araw para humarap ang mga anak ng Diyos kay Yahweh, at si Satanas ay dumalo kasama nila.
7 YHWH said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Then Satan answered YHWH, and said, "From going back and forth on the earth, and from walking up and down on it."
Ang tanong ni Yahweh kay Satanas, “Saan ka naman nanggaling?” Sumagot si Satanas kay Yahweh, “Galing ako sa isang paglalakad-lakad sa mundo, nagpabalik-balik ako rito.”
8 YHWH said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil."
Nagtanong muli si Yahweh, “Ano naman ang masasabi mo sa lingkod kong si Job? Dahil wala siyang katulad sa mundong ito, walang maipipintas at tapat na tao, may takot sa Diyos at tumatalikod sa lahat ng kasamaan.”
9 Then Satan answered YHWH, and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing?
Saka sumagot si Satanas kay Yahweh, “Basta na lang ba magkakaroon ng takot sa iyo si Job nang walang kadahilanan?”
10 Haven't you made a hedge around him, and around his household, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his livestock have increased in the land.
Hindi ka ba gumawa ng bakod sa kaniyang paligid, sa paligid ng kaniyang bahay, at sa lahat ng kaniyang mga pag-aari? Pinagpala mo ang kaniyang hanap-buhay at pinarami mo ang kaniyang kayamanan.
11 But put forth your hand now, and strike all that he has, and he will curse you to your face."
Pero iunat mo ang iyong kamay laban sa kaniyang mga pag-aari, at makikita mo na itatanggi ka niya sa iyong harapan.
12 YHWH said to Satan, "Look, all that he has is in your power. Only do not put forth your hand on him." So Satan went forth from the presence of YHWH.
Sinabi ni Yahweh sa kaniya, “Makinig ka, ang lahat ng kaniyang pag-aari ay hawakan mo, pero huwag mo siyang pagbubuhatan ng kamay.” Saka umalis si Satanas sa presensiya ni Yahweh.
13 Now the day came when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
Dumating ang isang araw habang nagkakainan at nag-iinuman ang kaniyang mga anak sa bahay ng kanilang panganay na kapatid,
14 that there came a messenger to Job, and said, "The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys grazing beside them,
isang mensahero ang pumunta kay Job at nagbalita, “Habang ang mga baka ay nag-aararo at ang mga asno ay nanginginain sa kanilang tabi;
15 and Sheba attacked, and took them away. Yes, they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you."
lumusob ang mga Sabano at tinangay sila. Pinatay nga nila ang ibang mga lingkod gamit ang espada; ako lang ang nag-iisang nakatakas para ibalita sa iyo.”
16 While he was still speaking, there also came another, and said, "The fire of God has fallen from the sky, and has burned up the sheep and the young men, and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you."
Habang siya ay nagsasalita pa, dumating ang isa pang lingkod at nagbalita. “Umulan ng apoy ng Diyos mula sa langit at tinupok ang mga tupa kasama na ang mga lingkod; at ako lang ang tanging nakaligtas para sabihin sa iyo.”
17 While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, "The Kasdim made three bands, and swept down on the camels, and have taken them away, and killed the young men with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you."
Habang siya rin ay nagsasalita, may dumating pang isang lingkod at nagbalitang “Gumawa ng tatlong pangkat ang mga Caldea, nilusob ang mga kamelyo, at tinangay silang lahat. Totoo ito, at pinatay pa nila ang mga lingkod gamit ang espada, at ako lang ang nakaligtas para ibalita sa iyo.”
18 While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, "Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
Habang siya ay nagsasalita dumating ang isa pa at nagbalitang, “Nagkakainan at nag-iinuman ng alak ang iyong mga anak sa bahay ng kanilang panganay na kapatid.
19 and look, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead. I alone have escaped to tell you."
Isang malakas na hangin ang umihip mula sa disyerto at giniba ang apat na haligi ng bahay, nadaganan nito ang mga kabataan, at namatay silang lahat, at ako na lang ang nakatakas para sabihin ito sa iyo.”
20 Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down with his face to the ground.
Napatayo si Job, pinunit ang kaniyang damit, inahit ang kaniyang buhok, nagpatirapa sa lupa at sinamba ang Diyos.”
21 He said, "Naked I came out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there. YHWH gave, and YHWH has taken away. Blessed be the name of YHWH."
Sabi niya, “Hubad akong lumabas sa sinapupunan ng aking ina, hubad din akong babalik doon. Si Yahweh ang nagbigay, si Yahweh rin ang babawi; ang pangalan nawa ng Diyos ang mapapurihan.”
22 In all this, Job did not sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.
Sa lahat ng mga pangyayaring ito, hindi nagkasala si Job at hindi siya naging hangal para akusahan ang Diyos.
