Job 1
1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and Job was blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned from evil.
May isang lalake sa lupain ng Uz, na ang pangalan ay Job; at ang lalaking yaon ay sakdal at matuwid, at natatakot sa Dios, at humihiwalay sa kasamaan.
2 There were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
At may ipinanganak sa kaniya na pitong anak na lalake at tatlong anak na babae.
3 He possessed seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred pairs of oxen, and five hundred donkeys and a great many servants. He was the man who was the greatest of all the people of the East.
Ang kaniyang pag-aari naman ay pitong libong tupa, at tatlong libong kamelyo, at limang daang magkatuwang na baka, at limang daang asnong babae, at isang totoong malaking sangbahayan; na anopa't ang lalaking ito ay siyang pinaka dakila sa lahat na mga anak ng silanganan.
4 On each son's assigned day, he would give a feast in his house. They would send and call for their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
At ang kaniyang mga anak ay nagsiyaon at nagsipagdaos ng kapistahan sa bahay ng bawa't isa sa kanikaniyang kaarawan; at sila'y nangagsugo, at ipinatawag ang kanilang tatlong kapatid na babae upang magsikain at magsiinom na kasalo nila.
5 When the days of the feast were over, Job would send for them and he would consecrate them. He would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings for each of his children, for he would say, “It may be that my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Job always did this.
At nangyari, nang makaraan ang mga kaarawan ng kanilang pagpipista, na si Job ay nagsugo, at pinapagbanal sila, at bumangong maaga sa kinaumagahan, at naghandog ng mga handog na susunugin ayon sa bilang nilang lahat: sapagka't sinabi ni Job, Marahil ang aking mga anak ay nangagkasala, at itinakuwil ang Dios sa kanilang mga puso. Ganito ang ginawa ni Job na palagi.
6 Then it was the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Yahweh. Satan also came with them.
Isang araw nga nang ang mga anak ng Dios ay magsiparoon na magsiharap sa Panginoon, na si Satanas ay naparoon din naman na kasama nila.
7 Yahweh said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “From wandering on the earth, from going back and forth on it.”
At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Satanas, Saan ka nanggaling? Nang magkagayo'y sumagot si Satanas sa Panginoon, at nagsabi, Sa pagpaparoo't parito sa lupa, at sa pagmamanhik manaog doon.
8 Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and turns from evil.”
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.
9 Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “Does Job fear God without reason?
Nang magkagayo'y sumagot si Satanas sa Panginoon, at nagsabi, Natatakot ba ng walang kabuluhan si Job sa Dios?
10 Have you not put a barrier around him, around his house, and around all that is his from every side? You have blessed the deeds of his hands, and his cattle have burst forth in the land.
Hindi mo ba kinulong siya, at ang kaniyang sangbahayan, at ang lahat niyang tinatangkilik, sa bawa't dako? iyong pinagpala ang gawa ng kaniyang mga kamay, at ang kaniyang pag-aari ay dumami sa lupain.
11 But now stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, and see if he does not curse you to your face.”
Nguni't pagbuhatan mo siya ng iyong kamay ngayon, at galawin mo ang lahat niyang tinatangkilik, at itatakuwil ka niya ng mukhaan,
12 Yahweh said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your hand. Only against him himself do not stretch out your hand.” Then Satan went away from the presence of Yahweh.
At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Satanas, Narito, lahat niyang tinatangkilik ay nangasa iyong kapangyarihan; siya lamang ang huwag mong pagbuhatan ng iyong kamay. Sa gayo'y lumabas si Satanas na mula sa harapan ng Panginoon.
13 It came about that on a certain day, his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house.
At nangyari isang araw, nang ang kaniyang mga anak na lalake at babae ay nagsisikain at nagsisiinom ng alak sa bahay ng kanilang kapatid na panganay.
14 A messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were feeding beside them.
Na dumating ang isang sugo kay Job, at nagsabi, Ang mga baka ay nagsisipagararo, at ang mga asno ay nagsisisabsab sa siping nila:
15 Then the Sabeans fell on them and took them away. As for the servants, they have struck them with the edge of the sword. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
At dinaluhong ng mga Sabeo, at pinagdadala; oo, kanilang pinatay ng talim ng tabak ang mga bataan; at ako lamang ang nakatanang magisa upang magsaysay sa iyo.
16 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of God fell from the heavens and burned up the sheep and the servants. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
Samantalang siya'y nagsasalita pa, ay dumating naman ang iba, at nagsabi, Ang apoy ng Dios ay nalaglag mula sa langit, at sinunog ang mga tupa, at ang mga bataan, at pinagsupok; at ako lamang ang nakatanang magisa upang magsaysay sa iyo.
17 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three groups, attacked the camels, and have taken them away. As for the servants, they have struck them with the edge of the sword. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
Samantalang siya'y nagsasalita pa, ay dumating naman ang iba, at nagsabi, Ang mga Caldeo ay nagtatlong pulutong, at dumaluhong sa mga kamelyo, at pinagdadala, oo, at pinatay ng talim ng tabak ang mga bataan; at ako lamang ang nakatanang magisa upang magsaysay sa iyo.
18 While he was yet speaking, another also came and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house.
Samantalang siya'y nagsasalita pa, ay dumating naman ang iba, at nagsabi, Ang iyong mga anak na lalake at babae ay nagsisikain at nagsisiinom ng alak sa bahay ng kanilang kapatid na panganay:
19 A strong wind came from the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house. It fell on the young people, and they died. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
At, narito, dumating ang malakas na hangin na mula sa ilang, at hinampas ang apat na sulok ng bahay, at lumagpak sa mga binata, at sila'y nangamatay; at ako lamang ang nakatanang magisa upang magsaysay sa iyo.
20 Then Job rose, tore his robe, shaved his head, lay facedown on the ground, and worshiped God.
Nang magkagayo'y bumangon si Job, at hinapak ang kaniyang balabal, at inahitan ang kaniyang ulo, at nagpatirapa sa lupa at sumamba;
21 He said, “I was naked when I came out of my mother's womb, and I will be naked when I will return there. It is Yahweh who gave, and it is Yahweh who has taken away. May the name of Yahweh be blessed.”
At sinabi niya, Hubad akong lumabas sa bahay-bata ng aking ina, at hubad na babalik ako roon: ang Panginoon ang nagbigay, at ang Panginoon ang nagalis; purihin ang pangalan ng Panginoon.
22 In all this matter, Job did not sin, nor did he accuse God of wrongdoing.
Sa lahat ng ito ay hindi nagkasala si Job, ni inari mang mangmang ang Dios.
