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; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and turned away from evil.
2 Binigyan siya ng pitong anak na lalaki at tatlong anak na babae.
And there were born unto him 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.
His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children 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.
And his sons went and held a feast in the house of each one upon his day; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink 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 it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt-offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
6 At dumating naman ang isang araw para humarap ang mga anak ng Diyos kay Yahweh, at si Satanas ay dumalo kasama nila.
Now it came to pass on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, that Satan also came among 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 Jehovah said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in 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 Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil.
9 Saka sumagot si Satanas kay Yahweh, “Basta na lang ba magkakaroon ng takot sa iyo si Job nang walang kadahilanan?”
Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
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.
Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased 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 put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will renounce thee to thy 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 Jehovah said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.
13 Dumating ang isang araw habang nagkakainan at nag-iinuman ang kaniyang mga anak sa bahay ng kanilang panganay na kapatid,
And it fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house,
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;
that there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them;
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 Sabeans fell [upon them], and took them away: yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
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.”
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
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.”
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have taken them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
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.
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest 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.”
and, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
20 Napatayo si Job, pinunit ang kaniyang damit, inahit ang kaniyang buhok, nagpatirapa sa lupa at sinamba ang Diyos.”
Then Job arose, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped;
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.”
and he said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah.
22 Sa lahat ng mga pangyayaring ito, hindi nagkasala si Job at hindi siya naging hangal para akusahan ang Diyos.
In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
