< Job 1 >

1 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.
There was a certain man in the land of Ausis, whose name [was] Job; and than man was true, blameless, righteous, [and] godly, abstaining from everything evil.
2 At may ipinanganak sa kaniya na pitong anak na lalake at tatlong anak na babae.
And he had seven sons and three daughters.
3 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.
And his cattle consisted of seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she-asses in the pastures, and a very great household, and he had a great husbandry on the earth; and that man was [most] noble of the [men] of the east.
4 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.
And his sons visiting one another prepared a banquet every day, taking with them also their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
5 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.
And when the days of the banquet were completed, Job sent and purified them, having risen up in the morning, and offered sacrifices for them, according to their number, and one calf for a sin-offering for their souls: for Job said, Lest perhaps my sons have thought evil in their minds against God. Thus, then Job did continually.
6 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.
And it came to pass on a day, that behold, the angels of God came to stand before the Lord, and the devil came with them.
7 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.
And the Lord said to the devil, Whence are you come? And the devil answered the Lord, and said, I am come from compassing the earth, and walking up and down in the world.
8 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.
And the Lord said to him, Hast you diligently considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a man blameless, true, godly, abstaining from everything evil?
9 Nang magkagayo'y sumagot si Satanas sa Panginoon, at nagsabi, Natatakot ba ng walang kabuluhan si Job sa Dios?
Then the devil answered, and said before the Lord, Does Job worship the Lord for nothing?
10 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.
Hast you not made a hedge about him, and about his household, and all his possessions round about? and have you not blessed the works of his hands, and multiplied his cattle upon the land?
11 Nguni't pagbuhatan mo siya ng iyong kamay ngayon, at galawin mo ang lahat niyang tinatangkilik, at itatakuwil ka niya ng mukhaan,
But put forth your hand, and touch all that he has: verily he will bless you to [your] face.
12 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.
Then the Lord said to the devil, Behold, I give into your hand all that he has, but touch not himself. So the devil went out from the presence of the Lord.
13 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.
And it came to pass on a certain day, that Job's sons and his daughters were drinking wine in the house of their elder brother.
14 Na dumating ang isang sugo kay Job, at nagsabi, Ang mga baka ay nagsisipagararo, at ang mga asno ay nagsisisabsab sa siping nila:
And, behold, there came a messenger to Job, and said to him, The yokes of oxen were ploughing, and the she-asses were feeding near them;
15 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.
and the spoilers came and took them for a prey, and killed the servants with the sword; and I having escaped alone am come to tell you.
16 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.
While he was yet speaking, there came another messenger, and said to Job, Fire has fallen from heaven, and burnt up the sheep, and devoured the shepherds like wise; and I having escaped alone am come to tell you.
17 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.
While he was yet speaking, there came another messenger, and said to Job, The horsemen formed three companies against us, and surrounded the camels, and took them for a prey, and killed the servants with the sword; and I only escaped, and am come to tell you.
18 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:
While he is yet speaking, another messenger comes, saying to Job, While your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking with their elder brother,
19 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.
suddenly a great wind came on from the desert, and caught the four corners of the house, and the house fell upon your children, and they are dead; and I have escaped alone, and am come to tell you.
20 Nang magkagayo'y bumangon si Job, at hinapak ang kaniyang balabal, at inahitan ang kaniyang ulo, at nagpatirapa sa lupa at sumamba;
So Job arose, and tore his garments, and shaved the hair of his head, and fell on the earth, and worshipped,
21 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.
and said, I myself came forth naked from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there; the Lord gave, the Lord has taken away: as it seemed good to the Lord, so has it come to pass; blessed be the name of the Lord.
22 Sa lahat ng ito ay hindi nagkasala si Job, ni inari mang mangmang ang Dios.
In all these events that befell him Job sinned not at all before the Lord, and did not impute folly to God.
