Job 2
1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
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 the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, 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 the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil: and he still holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
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 answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give 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 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce thee to thy 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 the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; only spare his life.
Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Satanas, “Sige, siya ay nasa iyong mga kamay, pero huwag mo lang siyang babawian ng buhay.”
7 So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto 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 took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat among 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 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still hold fast thine integrity? renounce 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 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin 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 Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: and they made an appointment 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 when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
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 So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was 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.
