< Job 2 >
1 Again it happened on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before YHWH, that Satan came also among them to present himself before YHWH.
Nangyari uli na sa araw nang pagparoon ng mga anak ng Dios upang magsiharap sa Panginoon, na nakiparoon din si Satanas, upang humarap sa Panginoon.
2 YHWH said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Satan answered YHWH, and said, "From going back and forth on the earth, and from walking up and down on it."
At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Satanas, Saan ka nanggaling? At si Satanas ay sumagot sa Panginoon, at nagsabi, Sa pagpaparoo't parito sa lupa, at sa pagmamanhik manaog doon.
3 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. And he still holds firmly to his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause."
At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Satanas, Iyo bang pinansin ang aking lingkod na si Job? sapagka't walang gaya niya sa lupa, na sakdal at matuwid na lalake, na natatakot sa Dios, at humihiwalay sa kasamaan: at siya'y namamalagi sa kaniyang pagtatapat, bagaman ako'y kinilos mo laban sa kaniya, upang ilugmok siya ng walang kadahilanan.
4 Then Satan answered YHWH, and said, "Skin for skin. Indeed, all that a man has he will give for his life.
At si Satanas ay sumagot sa Panginoon, at nagsabi, Balat kung balat, oo, lahat na tinatangkilik ng tao ay ibibigay dahil sa kaniyang buhay.
5 But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face."
Nguni't pagbuhatan mo ngayon ng iyong kamay, at galawin mo ang kaniyang buto at ang kaniyang laman, at kaniyang itatakuwil ka ng mukhaan.
6 YHWH said to Satan, "Look, he is in your power. Only preserve his life."
At ang Panginoon ay nagsabi kay Satanas, Narito, siya'y nasa iyong kamay; ingatan mo lamang ang kaniyang buhay.
7 So Satan went forth from the presence of YHWH, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the top of his head.
Sa gayo'y umalis si Satanas mula sa harapan ng Panginoon, at pinasibulan si Job ng mga masamang bukol na mula sa talampakan ng kaniyang paa hanggang sa kaniyang puyo.
8 And he took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with while he sat among the ashes.
At kumuha siya ng isang bibinga ng palyok upang ipangkayod ng langib; at siya'y naupo sa mga abo.
9 Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold firmly to your integrity? Curse God, and die."
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng kaniyang asawa sa kaniya, Namamalagi ka pa ba sa iyong pagtatapat? itakuwil mo ang Dios, at mamatay ka.
10 But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we indeed accept good at the hand of God, and shall we not accept adversity?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
Nguni't sinabi niya sa kaniya, Ikaw ay nagsasalita na gaya ng pagsasalita ng hangal na babae. Ano? tatanggap ba tayo ng mabuti sa kamay ng Dios, at hindi tayo tatanggap ng masama? Sa lahat ng ito ay hindi nagkasala si Job ng kaniyang mga labi.
11 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this adversity that had come on him, they each came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, and they made an appointment together to come to sympathize with him and to comfort him.
Nang mabalitaan nga ng tatlong kaibigan ni Job ang lahat na kasamaang ito na sumapit sa kaniya sila'y naparoon bawa't isa na mula sa kanikaniyang sariling pook, si Eliphaz na Temanita, at si Bildad na Suhita, at si Sophar na Naamathita: at sila'y nangagkaiisang loob na magsiparoon upang makidamay sa kaniya at aliwin siya.
12 When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and did not recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and threw dust in the air over their heads.
At nang kanilang itanaw ang kanilang mga mata mula sa malayo, at hindi siya makilala, kanilang inilakas ang kanilang tinig, at nagsiiyak at hinapak ng bawa't isa sa kanila ang kanikaniyang balabal, at nagbuhos ng alabok sa kanilang mga ulo sa dakong langit.
13 So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.
Sa gayo'y nangakiumpok sila sa kaniya sa ibabaw ng lupa na pitong araw at pitong gabi, at walang nagsalita sa kaniya: sapagka't kanilang nakita na ang kaniyang paghihirap ay totoong malaki.
