Job 1
1 May isang lalaki sa lupain ng Uz na ang pangalan ay Job; walang maipipintas kay Job at siya ay matuwid, may takot siya sa Diyos at tumatalikod sa anumang kasamaan.
There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. He was without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil.
2 Binigyan siya ng pitong anak na lalaki at tatlong anak na babae.
And he had seven sons and three daughters.
3 May pag-aari siyang pitong libong mga tupa, tatlong libong kamelyo, limang daang pares ng mga baka, at limang daang mga asno at napakaraming mga lingkod. Ang lalaking ito ang pinaka-dakila sa lahat ng tao sa Silangan.
And of cattle he had seven thousand sheep and goats, and three thousand camels, and a thousand oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great number of servants. And the man was greater than any of the sons of the east.
4 Sa bawat araw na may kani-kaniyang pagdiriwang ang mga anak na lalaki, ipinapatawag nila ang kanilang tatlong kapatid na babae para kumain at uminom kasama nila.
His sons regularly went to one another's houses, and every one on his day gave a feast: and at these times they sent for their three sisters to take part in their feasts with them.
5 Pagkatapos ng mga araw ng pista, sila ay ipinapatawag at muli silang itatalaga ni Job sa Diyos. Babangon siya nang maagang-maaga at mag-aalay ng sinunog na handog para sa bawat kaniyang mga anak, dahil iniisip niya na, “Marahil nagkasala ang aking mga anak at isinumpa ang Diyos sa kanilang mga puso.” Ito ay laging ginagawa ni Job.
And at the end of their days of feasting, Job sent and made them clean, getting up early in the morning and offering burned offerings for them all. For, Job said, It may be that my sons have done wrong and said evil of God in their hearts. And Job did this whenever the feasts came round.
6 At dumating naman ang isang araw para humarap ang mga anak ng Diyos kay Yahweh, at si Satanas ay dumalo kasama nila.
And there was a day when the sons of the gods came together before the Lord, and the Satan came with them.
7 Ang tanong ni Yahweh kay Satanas, “Saan ka naman nanggaling?” Sumagot si Satanas kay Yahweh, “Galing ako sa isang paglalakad-lakad sa mundo, nagpabalik-balik ako rito.”
And the Lord said to the Satan, Where do you come from? And the Satan said in answer, From wandering this way and that on the earth, and walking about on it.
8 Nagtanong muli si Yahweh, “Ano naman ang masasabi mo sa lingkod kong si Job? Dahil wala siyang katulad sa mundong ito, walang maipipintas at tapat na tao, may takot sa Diyos at tumatalikod sa lahat ng kasamaan.”
And the Lord said to the Satan, Have you taken note of my servant Job, for there is no one like him on the earth, a man without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil?
9 Saka sumagot si Satanas kay Yahweh, “Basta na lang ba magkakaroon ng takot sa iyo si Job nang walang kadahilanan?”
And the Satan said in answer to the Lord, Is it for nothing that Job is a god-fearing man?
10 Hindi ka ba gumawa ng bakod sa kaniyang paligid, sa paligid ng kaniyang bahay, at sa lahat ng kaniyang mga pag-aari? Pinagpala mo ang kaniyang hanap-buhay at pinarami mo ang kaniyang kayamanan.
Have you yourself not put a wall round him and his house and all he has on every side, blessing the work of his hands, and increasing his cattle in the land?
11 Pero iunat mo ang iyong kamay laban sa kaniyang mga pag-aari, at makikita mo na itatanggi ka niya sa iyong harapan.
But now, put out your hand against all he has, and he will be cursing you to your face.
12 Sinabi ni Yahweh sa kaniya, “Makinig ka, ang lahat ng kaniyang pag-aari ay hawakan mo, pero huwag mo siyang pagbubuhatan ng kamay.” Saka umalis si Satanas sa presensiya ni Yahweh.
And the Lord said to the Satan, See, I give all he has into your hands, only do not put a finger on the man himself. And the Satan went out from before the Lord.
13 Dumating ang isang araw habang nagkakainan at nag-iinuman ang kaniyang mga anak sa bahay ng kanilang panganay na kapatid,
And there was a day when his sons and daughters were feasting in the house of their oldest brother,
14 isang mensahero ang pumunta kay Job at nagbalita, “Habang ang mga baka ay nag-aararo at ang mga asno ay nanginginain sa kanilang tabi;
And a man came to Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses were taking their food by their side:
15 lumusob ang mga Sabano at tinangay sila. Pinatay nga nila ang ibang mga lingkod gamit ang espada; ako lang ang nag-iisang nakatakas para ibalita sa iyo.”
And the men of Sheba came against them and took them away, putting the young men to the sword, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.
16 Habang siya ay nagsasalita pa, dumating ang isa pang lingkod at nagbalita. “Umulan ng apoy ng Diyos mula sa langit at tinupok ang mga tupa kasama na ang mga lingkod; at ako lang ang tanging nakaligtas para sabihin sa iyo.”
And this one was still talking when another came, and said, The fire of God came down from heaven, burning up the sheep and the goats and the young men completely, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.
17 Habang siya rin ay nagsasalita, may dumating pang isang lingkod at nagbalitang “Gumawa ng tatlong pangkat ang mga Caldea, nilusob ang mga kamelyo, at tinangay silang lahat. Totoo ito, at pinatay pa nila ang mga lingkod gamit ang espada, at ako lang ang nakaligtas para ibalita sa iyo.”
And this one was still talking when another came, and said, The Chaldaeans made themselves into three bands, and came down on the camels and took them away, putting the young men to the sword, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.
18 Habang siya ay nagsasalita dumating ang isa pa at nagbalitang, “Nagkakainan at nag-iinuman ng alak ang iyong mga anak sa bahay ng kanilang panganay na kapatid.
And this one was still talking when another came, and said, Your sons and your daughters were feasting together in their oldest brother's house,
19 Isang malakas na hangin ang umihip mula sa disyerto at giniba ang apat na haligi ng bahay, nadaganan nito ang mga kabataan, at namatay silang lahat, at ako na lang ang nakatakas para sabihin ito sa iyo.”
When a great wind came rushing from the waste land against the four sides of the house, and it came down on the young men, and they are dead; and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.
20 Napatayo si Job, pinunit ang kaniyang damit, inahit ang kaniyang buhok, nagpatirapa sa lupa at sinamba ang Diyos.”
Then Job got up, and after parting his clothing and cutting off his hair, he went down on his face to the earth, and gave worship, and said,
21 Sabi niya, “Hubad akong lumabas sa sinapupunan ng aking ina, hubad din akong babalik doon. Si Yahweh ang nagbigay, si Yahweh rin ang babawi; ang pangalan nawa ng Diyos ang mapapurihan.”
With nothing I came out of my mother's body, and with nothing I will go back there; the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; let the Lord's name be praised.
22 Sa lahat ng mga pangyayaring ito, hindi nagkasala si Job at hindi siya naging hangal para akusahan ang Diyos.
In all this Job did no sin, and did not say that God's acts were foolish.
