Job 6
1 Then Job spoke again, saying [to Eliphaz],
Nang magkagayo'y sumagot si Job at nagsabi,
2 “If all my troubles and misery could be put on a scale and weighed,
Oh timbangin nawa ang aking pagkainip, at ang aking mga kasakunaan ay malagay sa mga timbangan na magkakasama.
3 they would be heavier than all the sands [on the shores] of the oceans. That is why I spoke (very rashly/without thinking clearly) [about the day that I was born].
Sapagka't ngayo'y magiging lalong mabigat kay sa buhangin sa mga dagat: kaya't ang aking pananalita ay napabigla.
4 [It is as though] Almighty [God] has shot me with arrows. [It is as though] those arrows had poison on their tips, and that poison has gone into my spirit. The things that God has done to me have terrified me.
Sapagka't ang mga palaso ng Makapangyarihan sa lahat ay nasasaksak sa akin, ang lason niyaon ay hinitit ng aking diwa; ang mga pangkilabot ng Dios ay nangahahanay laban sa akin.
5 Just like a wild donkey does not [complain by] braying when it has plenty of grass to eat, and an ox does not [complain by] bellowing when it has food to eat [MET], [I would not complain if you were really helping/comforting me].
Umuungal ba ang mailap na asno pag may damo? O umuungal ba ang baka sa kaniyang pagkain?
6 People complain [RHQ] when they must eat food which has no salt or other tasteless food [MET], [and that is what your words are like, Eliphaz].
Makakain ba ng walang asin ang matabang? O mayroon bang lasa ang puti ng isang itlog?
7 Just like I do not want to eat food [like that], and I loathe/detests that kind of food [MET], [I do not appreciate what you have said to me].
Tinatanggihang hipuin ng aking kaluluwa; mga karumaldumal na pagkain sa akin.
8 “I wish that God would do for me what I have requested from him [DOU].
Oh mangyari nawa ang aking kahilingan; at ipagkaloob nawa sa akin ng Dios ang bagay na aking minimithi!
9 I wish that he would crush me [and let me die]. I wish that he would reach out his hand and take away my life.
Sa makatuwid baga'y kalugdan nawa ng Dios na pisain ako; na bitawan ang kaniyang kamay, at ihiwalay ako!
10 If he would do that, I would be comforted by knowing that in spite of the great pain that I have suffered, I have always obeyed what [God, ] the Holy One, has commanded.
Kung magkagayo'y magtataglay pa ako ng kaaliwan; Oo, ako'y makapagbabata sa mga walang awang sakit; sapagka't hindi ko itinakuwil ang mga salita ng Banal.
11 But now I do not have [RHQ] enough strength to endure all these things. And since I have nothing [to hope for] in (the future/this life), it is difficult for me to be patient now [RHQ].
Ano ang aking lakas, na ako'y maghihintay? At ano ang aking wakas na ako'y magtitiis?
12 I am not [RHQ] strong like rocks are, and my body is not made of bronze.
Ang akin bang tibay ay tibay ng mga bato? O ang akin bang laman ay tanso?
13 So I am not able to help myself, and [it seems that] there is no one to rescue me.”
Di ba ako'y walang sukat na kaya, at ang karunungan ay lumayo sa akin?
14 “When a man has many troubles, his friends should be kind to him, even if he stops revering Almighty [God].
Siyang nanglulupaypay ay dapat pagpakitaang loob ng kaniyang kaibigan; kahit siya na walang takot sa Makapangyarihan sa lahat.
15 But [you, ] my friends, are not dependable. You are like streams: They spill over their banks [in the spring]
Ang aking mga kapatid ay nagsipagdaya na parang batis, na parang daan ng mga batis na nababago;
16 when [the melting] ice and snow make those streams overflow,
Na malabo dahil sa hielo, at siyang kinatunawan ng nieve:
17 but when the dry season comes, there is no water flowing [in those streams], and the channels dry up.
Paginit ay nawawala: pagka mainit, ay nangatutunaw sa kanilang dako.
18 [The caravans of merchants] turn off the path [to search for some water], but there is no water, so they die [in the desert].
Ang mga pulutong na naglalakbay sa pagsunod sa mga yaon ay nangaliligaw; nagsisilihis sa ilang at nawawala.
19 The men in those caravans search [for some water] because they are sure that they will find some.
Minasdan ng mga pulutong na mula sa Tema, hinintay ang mga yaon ng mga pulutong na mula sa Seba.
20 But they do not find any, so they are very disappointed.
Sila'y nangapahiya, sapagka't sila'y nagsiasa; sila'y nagsiparoon at nangatulig.
21 Similarly, you friends have not helped me at all! You have seen that terrible things have happened to me, and you are afraid [that God might do similar things to you].
Sapagka't ngayon, kayo'y nauwi sa wala; kayo'y nangakakakita ng kakilabutan, at nangatatakot.
22 [After I lost all my wealth, ] did I ask any of you for money? [RHQ] Did I plead with any of you to spend some of your money to help me [RHQ]?
Sinabi ko baga: Bigyan mo ako? O, Maghandog ka ng isang kaloob sa akin ng iyong pag-aari?
23 Have I asked any of you to rescue me from my enemies [RHQ]? Have I asked you to save me from those who (oppressed me/treated me badly) [RHQ]? [No!]”
O, Iligtas mo ako sa kamay ng kaaway? O, tubusin mo ako sa kamay ng mga namimighati?
24 “Answer me [now, and then] I will be quiet; tell me what wrong things I have done!
Turuan mo ako, at ako'y mamamayapa; at ipaunawa mo sa akin kung ano ang aking pinagkasalahan.
25 When people speak what is true, that will not hurt the person who hears it, but what you say, criticizing me, [is not true, so your saying it] proves nothing [RHQ]!
Pagkatindi nga ng mga salita ng katuwiran! Nguni't anong sinasaway ng iyong pakikipagtalo?
26 I am a man who has nothing to hope for, but you try to correct me, and you think what I say is nothing but wind [RHQ]!
Iniisip ba ninyong sumaway ng mga salita? Dangang ang mga salita ng walang inaasahan ay parang hangin.
27 You do not sympathize with me at all [for all that I am suffering]. [You are heartless!] You would even gamble to see who gets an orphan [as a prize]!
Oo, kayo'y magsasapalaran sa ulila, at ginawa ninyong kalakal ang inyong kaibigan.
28 Please look at me! I will not [RHQ] lie to you.
Ngayon nga'y kalugdan mong lingapin ako; sapagka't tunay na hindi ako magbubulaan sa iyong harap.
29 Stop [saying that I have sinned, and] stop criticizing me unjustly! You should realize that I have not done things that are wrong.
Kayo'y magsibalik isinasamo ko sa inyo, huwag magkaroon ng kalikuan; Oo, kayo'y magsibalik uli, ang aking usap ay matuwid.
30 Do you think that I am lying? No, I am not lying, because I know what is right and what is wrong [RHQ].”
May di ganap ba sa aking dila? Hindi ba makapapansin ang aking pagwawari ng mga suwail na bagay?
