Job 2
1 Muling dumating ang araw para humarap kay Yahweh ang mga anak ng Diyos, pumunta rin si Satanas para iharap ang kaniyang sarili kay Yahweh.
And it came to pass on a certain day, that the angels of God came to stand before the Lord, and the devil came amongst them to stand before the Lord.
2 Tinanong ni Yahweh si Satanas, “Saan ka naman nanggaling ngayon?” Sumagot si Satanas, “Galing ako sa paglalakad sa lupa nang pabalik-balik.”
And the Lord, said to the devil, Whence come you? Then the devil said before the Lord, I am come from going through the world, and walking about the whole earth.
3 Nagtanong muli si Yahweh kay Satanas, “Ano naman ang masasabi mo sa lingkod kong si Job? Sapagkat wala siyang katulad sa mundong ito, walang maipipintas at tapat na tao, may takot sa Diyos at tumatalikod sa lahat ng kasamaan. Nananatili pa rin siya sa kaniyang integridad kahit na pinilit mo akong gumawa ng laban sa kaniya, para sirain siya nang walang dahilan.”
And the Lord said to the devil, Hast you then observed my servant Job, that there is none of [men] upon the earth like him, a harmless, true, blameless, godly man, abstaining from all evil? and he yet cleaves to innocence, whereas you has told [me] to destroy his substance without cause?
4 Sumagot si Satanas kay Yahweh at sinabing, “Balat sa balat naman; kayang ibigay ng tao ang lahat-lahat ng pag-aari niya para lamang siya mabuhay.
And the devil answered and said to the Lord, Skin for skin, all that a man has will he give as a ransom for his life.
5 Pero subukan mong iunat ang iyong kamay at galawin ang kaniyang mga buto at katawan, tingnan mo kung hindi ka niya isumpa nang harapan.”
Nay, but put forth your hand, and touch his bones and his flesh: verily he will bless you to [your] face.
6 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Satanas, “Sige, siya ay nasa iyong mga kamay, pero huwag mo lang siyang babawian ng buhay.”
And the Lord said to the devil, Behold, I deliver him up to you; only save his life.
7 Kaya umalis si Satanas sa presensiya ni Yahweh at nilagyan ng mga malubhang pigsa si Job mula sa kaniyang talampakan hanggang sa bumbunan.
So the devil went out from the Lord, and struck Job with sore boils from [his] feet to [his] head.
8 Pumulot si Job ng isang piraso ng basag na palayok para kayurin ang sarili gamit nito, saka siya umupo sa ibabaw ng mga abo.
And he took a potsherd to scrape away the discharge, and sat upon a dung-heap outside the city.
9 Saka sinabi sa kaniya ng kaniyang asawa, “Panghahawakan mo pa rin ba ang iyong integridad? Isumpa mo na ang Diyos at mamatay ka na.”
Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
10 Pero sinabi niya sa kaniyang asawa, “Kung makapagsalita ka parang wala kang isip, hindi mo ba naisip na hindi lang kabutihan ang maaari nating maranasan sa kamay ng Diyos at maaari rin tayong makaranas ng masama?” Sa lahat ng pangyayaring ito, hindi nagkasala si Job sa kaniyang mga labi.
But he looked on her, and said to her, You have spoken like one of the foolish women. If we have received good things of the hand of the Lord, shall we not endure evil things? In all these things that happened to him, Job sinned not at all with his lips before God.
11 Ngayon naman, nabalitaan ng tatlong kaibigan ni Job ang lahat ng masamang nangyari sa kaniya, nilisan nila ang kani-kanilang lugar para puntahan si Job: Si Eliphaz na Temaneo, Bildad na Shuhita, at Zophar na Naamita. Naglaan sila ng panahon para makidalamhati sa kaniya at aliwin siya.
Now his three friends having heard of all the evil that was come upon him, came to him each from his own country: Eliphaz the king of the Thaemans, Baldad sovereign of the Saucheans, Sophar king of he Minaeans: and they came to him with one accord, to comfort and to visit him.
12 Nang tumanaw sila sa kalayuan, hindi nila agad nakilala si Job, napahiyaw sila at humagulgol sa iyak; pinunit ng bawat isa ang kani-kaniyang damit, nagsaboy ng abo sa hangin at sa kanilang mga ulo.
And when they saw him from a distance they did not know him; and they cried with a loud voice, and wept, and tore every one his garment, and sprinkled dust upon [their heads],
13 Saka sila umupo sa tabi ni Job sa loob ng pitong araw at pitong gabi, wala ni isa sa kanila ang nangahas magsalita sa kaniya, dahil nakita nila ang sobrang hirap ni Job.
and they sat down beside him seven days and seven nights, and no one of them spoke; for they saw that his affliction was dreadful and very great.
