< 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.
And there came a certain day when the sons of God entered in, to present themselves unto Yahweh—so the accuser also entered in their midst, to present himself unto Yahweh.
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 Yahweh said unto the accuser, Whence comest thou? And the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from wandering about therein.
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 Yahweh said unto the accuser, Hast thou applied thy heart unto my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man blameless and upright, one who revereth God, and avoideth evil; and still he is holding fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to swallow him up 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.
Then the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, Skin for skin, and so, all that a man hath, will he 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.
In very deed, put forth, I pray thee thy hand, and smite unto his bone, and unto his flesh, —verily, unto thy face, will he curse thee.
6 At ang Panginoon ay nagsabi kay Satanas, Narito, siya'y nasa iyong kamay; ingatan mo lamang ang kaniyang buhay.
And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Behold him! in thy hand, —only, his life, preserve thou!
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 the accuser went forth from the presence of Yahweh, —and smote Job with a sore boil, from the sole of his foot, unto 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 him a potsherd, to scrape himself therewith; he being seated in the midst of 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 said his wife unto him, Art thou still holding fast thine integrity? Curse 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.
And he said unto her, As one of the base women speaketh, speakest thou? Blessing, shall we accept from God, and, misfortune, shall we not accept? In all this, Job sinned not 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 the three friends of Job heard of all this misfortune which had befallen him, —they came, every man from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, —for they had by appointment met together to come to shew sympathy with 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 knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept—and rent, every one his robe, and sprinkled dust upon their heads, toward the heavens.
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.
And they sat with him upon the ground, seven days and seven nights, —and none was speaking unto him a word, for they saw that, exceeding great, was the stinging pain.
