< Job 2 >

1 Nangyari uli na sa araw nang pagparoon ng mga anak ng Dios upang magsiharap sa Panginoon, na nakiparoon din si Satanas, upang humarap sa Panginoon.
Again it came to pass on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, that Satan came also among them to present himself before Jehovah.
2 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Satanas, Saan ka nanggaling? At si Satanas ay sumagot sa Panginoon, at nagsabi, Sa pagpaparoo't parito sa lupa, at sa pagmamanhik manaog doon.
And Jehovah said to Satan, From where did thou come? And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.
3 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: at siya'y namamalagi sa kaniyang pagtatapat, bagaman ako'y kinilos mo laban sa kaniya, upang ilugmok siya ng walang kadahilanan.
And Jehovah said to Satan, Have thou considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. And he still holds fast his integrity, although thou moved me against him, to destroy him without cause.
4 At si Satanas ay sumagot sa Panginoon, at nagsabi, Balat kung balat, oo, lahat na tinatangkilik ng tao ay ibibigay dahil sa kaniyang buhay.
And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man has he will give for his life.
5 Nguni't pagbuhatan mo ngayon ng iyong kamay, at galawin mo ang kaniyang buto at ang kaniyang laman, at kaniyang itatakuwil ka ng mukhaan.
But put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce thee to thy face.
6 At ang Panginoon ay nagsabi kay Satanas, Narito, siya'y nasa iyong kamay; ingatan mo lamang ang kaniyang buhay.
And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand, only spare his life.
7 Sa gayo'y umalis si Satanas mula sa harapan ng Panginoon, at pinasibulan si Job ng mga masamang bukol na mula sa talampakan ng kaniyang paa hanggang sa kaniyang puyo.
So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah, and smote Job with severe boils from the sole of his foot to his crown.
8 At kumuha siya ng isang bibinga ng palyok upang ipangkayod ng langib; at siya'y naupo sa mga abo.
And he took a potsherd for him to scrape himself with it, and he sat among the ashes.
9 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng kaniyang asawa sa kaniya, Namamalagi ka pa ba sa iyong pagtatapat? itakuwil mo ang Dios, at mamatay ka.
Then his wife said to him, Do thou still hold fast thine integrity? Renounce God, and die.
10 Nguni't sinabi niya sa kaniya, Ikaw ay nagsasalita na gaya ng pagsasalita ng hangal na babae. Ano? tatanggap ba tayo ng mabuti sa kamay ng Dios, at hindi tayo tatanggap ng masama? Sa lahat ng ito ay hindi nagkasala si Job ng kaniyang mga labi.
But he said to her, Thou speak as one of the foolish women speaks. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
11 Nang mabalitaan nga ng tatlong kaibigan ni Job ang lahat na kasamaang ito na sumapit sa kaniya sila'y naparoon bawa't isa na mula sa kanikaniyang sariling pook, si Eliphaz na Temanita, at si Bildad na Suhita, at si Sophar na Naamathita: at sila'y nangagkaiisang loob na magsiparoon upang makidamay sa kaniya at aliwin siya.
Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that came upon him, they came each 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.
12 At nang kanilang itanaw ang kanilang mga mata mula sa malayo, at hindi siya makilala, kanilang inilakas ang kanilang tinig, at nagsiiyak at hinapak ng bawa't isa sa kanila ang kanikaniyang balabal, at nagbuhos ng alabok sa kanilang mga ulo sa dakong langit.
And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and did not recognize him, they lifted up their voice, and wept. And each one tore his robe, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
13 Sa gayo'y nangakiumpok sila sa kaniya sa ibabaw ng lupa na pitong araw at pitong gabi, at walang nagsalita sa kaniya: sapagka't kanilang nakita na ang kaniyang paghihirap ay totoong malaki.
So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights. And none spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.
