Job 15
1 Then Eliphaz replied to Job:
Nang magkagayo'y sumagot si Eliphaz na Temanita, at nagsabi,
2 “If you were truly wise [RHQ], you would not have replied to us by claiming that you know a lot; what you are saying is just a lot of hot air [MET].
Sasagot ba ang isang pantas ng walang kabuluhang kaalaman, at pupunuin ang kaniyang tiyan ng hanging silanganan?
3 You should not [RHQ] be saying things that do not benefit anyone, using words that do no one any good.
Makikipagmatuwiranan ba siya ng walang kapakinabangang pangungusap, o ng mga salita na hindi niya ikagagawa ng mabuti?
4 [By what you say, ] you show that you do not revere God, and you are hindering people from meditating/thinking about God.
Oo, ikaw ay nagaalis ng katakutan, at iyong pinipigil ang dalangin sa harap ng Dios.
5 [It is as though] your sins are telling you what to say; you talk like people who will not admit that they are wicked.
Sapagka't ang iyong kasamaan ang nagtuturo sa iyong bibig, at iyong pinipili ang dila ng mapagkatha.
6 Everything that you say [MTY] shows that you should be punished; so, it is not necessary for me to show that.
Ang iyong sariling bibig ang humahatol laban sa iyo, at hindi ako; Oo, ang iyong sariling mga labi ay nagpapatotoo laban sa iyo.
7 [“Tell me do you know more than everyone else because you think that] you are the first person who was ever born? [SAR, RHQ] Were you born before the hills [were created]?
Ikaw ba ang unang tao na ipinanganak? O nalabas ka bang una kay sa mga burol?
8 Were you listening when God made all his plans? [SAR, RHQ] Or do you think that you are the only person who is wise?
Iyo bang narinig ang lihim na payo ng Dios? At ikaw ba'y nagpigil ng karunungan sa iyong sarili?
9 (What do you know that we do not know?/You do not know anything that we do not know.) [RHQ] You do not understand [RHQ] anything that is not also clear to us.
Anong nalalaman mo na di namin nalalaman? Anong nauunawa mo na wala sa amin?
10 My friends and I are also wise; we acquired [wisdom] from old gray-haired people, from people who were born before your father was born.
Kasama namin ay mga ulong may uban, at mga totoong napakatandang tao, matandang makapupo kay sa iyong ama.
11 God wants to comfort you, and to speak gently/kindly to you; (is that not enough for you/do you need more than that)?
Ang mga pagaliw ba ng Dios ay totoong kaunti pa sa ganang iyo, sa makatuwid baga'y ang salitang napakabuti sa iyo?
12 Why do you allow yourself to be (carried away/excited) by your emotions? Why are [you very angry, with the result that] your eyes flash?
Bakit ka napadadala sa iyong puso? At bakit kumikindat ang iyong mga mata?
13 You are angry [IDM] with God, and so you [MTY] are criticizing/denouncing him.
Na tinatalikdan mo ng iyong diwa ang Dios, at binibigkas mo ang ganyang mga salita sa iyong bibig.
14 “(How can any person, [including you, ] be sinless?/No person, [including you], can be sinless.) [RHQ] (How can anyone on the earth be [completely] righteous?/No one on the earth can be [completely] righteous.) [RHQ]
Ano ang tao upang maging malinis? At siyang ipinanganak ng babae, upang siya'y maging matuwid?
15 Hey, God does not even trust his angels; he does not consider even them to be [completely] pure.
Narito, siya'y hindi naglalagak ng tiwala sa kaniyang mga banal; Oo, ang langit ay hindi malinis sa kaniyang paningin.
16 So, he certainly does not [trust] abominable/disgusting and depraved/corrupt people who do evil things [as easily] as they drink water [MET].
Gaano pa nga kaliit ang karumaldumal at hamak, ang taong umiinom ng kasamaan na parang tubig!
17 Job, listen to what I will tell you. I will declare to you what I know,
Ipakikilala ko sa iyo, dinggin mo ako; at ang aking nakita ay aking ipahahayag:
18 things that wise men have told me, truths that their ancestors did not keep hidden.
(Ang isinaysay ng mga pantas na mula sa kanilang mga magulang, at hindi inilingid;
19 God gave this land to those ancestors, who were truly wise; no one from another country caused them to think wrongly [IDM].
Sa mga yaon lamang ibinigay ang lupain, at walang taga ibang lupa na dumaan sa gitna nila: )
20 It is wicked people who suffer with great pain all the time that they are alive; that is what happens to those who (oppress/act violently toward) others.
Ang masamang tao ay nagdaramdam ng sakit lahat ng kaniyang araw, sa makatuwid baga'y ang bilang ng mga taon na itinakda sa mamimighati.
21 They constantly hear sounds that terrify them; while they are prospering, bandits attack them.
Ang hugong ng kakilabutan ay nasa kaniyang mga pakinig; sa kaginhawahan ay daratnan siya ng mga mananamsam:
22 Wicked people surely know that they will not escape from darkness/death, because [they are sure that someone] is waiting to kill them with a sword.
Siya'y hindi naniniwala na babalik siya na mula sa kadiliman, at siya'y hinihintay ng tabak:
23 They wander around, searching for food, saying ‘Where can I find some?’ And they know that they will soon experience disasters.
Siya'y gumagala dahil sa tinapay, na nagsasabi: Nasaan? Kaniyang nalalaman na ang araw ng kadiliman ay handa sa kaniyang kamay:
24 Because they are afraid of those things happening to them, they are afraid and worry that these things will come to them like [the army of] a king comes to attack [their enemies and cause them to suffer] [SIM].
Kapanglawan at kadalamhatian ay tumatakot sa kaniya: nangananaig laban sa kaniya, na gaya ng isang hari na handa sa pakikipagbaka;
25 [Those things happen to them] because they (shook their fists/dared to fight) against Almighty God, and thought that they were strong enough to defeat him.
Sapagka't iniuunat niya ang kaniyang kamay laban sa Dios. At nagpapalalo laban sa Makapangyarihan sa lahat;
26 They stubbornly [IDM] rush to attack God [as though they were carrying] a strong shield [to protect themselves].
Tinatakbo niya siya na may mapagmatigas na leeg, sa kakapalan ng kaniyang mga kalasag;
27 They are so fat [that they are unable to fight].
Sapagka't tinakpan niya ang kaniyang mukha ng kaniyang katabaan at nagpangulubot ng kaniyang mga pigi;
28 They will live in cities that have been abandoned, cities which have become a heap of ruins.
At siya'y tumahan sa mga sirang bayan, sa mga bahay na walang taong tumatahan, na madaling magiging mga bunton.
29 But they will not remain rich very long; Everything that they own will be taken from them; their possessions will all disappear.
Hindi siya yayaman, o mamamalagi man ang kaniyang pag-aari. Ni di lalawak sa lupa ang kaniyang mga tinatangkilik.
30 They will not escape from the darkness [of death]; they will be like trees whose branches are burned by fire and whose blossoms are blown away by the wind.
Siya'y hindi hihiwalay sa kadiliman; tutuyuin ng liyab ang kaniyang mga sanga, at sa pamamagitan ng hininga ng bibig ng Dios ay papanaw siya.
31 Since they are very foolish, with the result that they trust in things that are really worthless, then things that are worthless will be all that they get.
Huwag siyang tumiwala sa kalayawan na dayain ang sarili: sapagka't kalayawan ang magiging kagantihan sa kaniya.
32 Before they are old, they will wither; they will be like [MET] branches that wither and never become green again.
Magaganap ito bago dumating ang kaniyang kapanahunan, at ang kaniyang sanga ay hindi mananariwa.
33 They will be like [SIM] vines whose grapes fall off before they are ripe, like olive trees whose blossoms fall off before they produce any fruit.
Lalagasin niya ang kaniyang mga hilaw na ubas na gaya ng puno ng ubas, at lalagasin ang kaniyang bulaklak na gaya ng olibo.
34 Wicked/godless people will not have any descendants, and fires will completely burn up the homes of [those who built those homes using] money they received from bribes.
Sapagka't ang pulutong ng mga di banal ay hindi lalago, at susupukin ng apoy ang mga toldang suhulan.
35 They plan to cause trouble and to do evil things, and they are always preparing to deceive people.”
Sila'y nag-iisip ng pagapi at naglalabas ng kasamaan, at ang kanilang kalooban ay naghahanda ng pagdaraya.
