Ang Ikaduha nga Pagtilaw kay Job

Isa ka adlaw, nagtipon naman ang mga anghel[a] sa presensya sang Ginoo, kag nag-upod naman sa ila si Satanas. Nagsiling ang Ginoo kay Satanas, “Diin ka naghalin?” Nagsabat si Satanas sa Ginoo, “Naglibot-libot sa kalibutan.” Nagsiling ang Ginoo sa iya, “Natalupangdan mo bala ang akon alagad nga si Job? Wala sing pareho sa iya sa kalibutan. Matarong kag wala sing kasawayan ang iya kabuhi. Nagatahod siya sa akon kag nagalikaw sa paghimo sang malain. Kag nagpabilin gihapon siya nga matutom sa akon bisan gin-ganyat mo ako nga tugutan ka sa paghalit sa iya sa wala sing rason.” Nagsabat si Satanas, “Batunon sang tawo nga madula ang tanan sa iya basta buhi lang siya. Pero siya bala mismo ang haliti kag sigurado gid nga pakamalauton ka niya.” Nagsiling ang Ginoo kay Satanas, “Sige, himua ang gusto mo nga himuon sa iya, pero indi lang siya pagpatya.” Gani naghalin si Satanas sa presensya sang Ginoo kag ginhalitan niya si Job paagi sa mga hubag nga nagtubo halin sa iya dapadapa hasta sa ulo. Nagkuha si Job sang buka nga kolon kag ginkagis ang iya panit samtang nagapungko siya sa abo. Nagsiling ang iya asawa sa iya, “Matutom ka pa gihapon sa Dios? Pakamalauta siya agod nga mapatay ka na!”

10 Nagsabat si Job, “Wala sing pulos ang imo ginahambal. Ang mga maayo lang bala nga mga butang ang aton batunon halin sa Dios, kag indi ang mga malain?”

Sa pihak sang natabo sa iya, wala makasala si Job paagi sa paghambal sing malain.

Ang Tatlo ka Abyan ni Job

11 May tatlo ka abyan si Job nga sila ni Elifaz nga taga-Teman, Bildad nga taga-Shua, kag Zofar nga taga-Naama. Sang mabatian nila ang tanan nga kalisod nga nag-abot kay Job, nagsugtanay sila nga kadtuan siya agod ugyunan sa iya nga kasubo kag lipayon. 12 Sang medyo malayo pa sila, nakita na nila si Job, kag daw indi nila siya halos makilala. Naghibi sila sing tudo kag gin-gisi nila ang ila mga bayo kag ginwisikan sang yab-ok ang ila mga ulo sa pagpakita sang ila kasubo. 13 Dayon nagpungko sila sa duta upod kay Job sa sulod sang pito ka adlaw kag pito ka gab-i. Wala gid sila naghambal sa iya tungod nakita nila kon daw ano gid ang iya pag-antos.

  1. 2:1 mga anghel: sa literal, mga anak sang Dios.

On another day the angels[a](A) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them(B) to present himself before him. And the Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”

Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”(C)

Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.(D) And he still maintains his integrity,(E) though you incited me against him to ruin him without any reason.”(F)

“Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give all he has(G) for his own life. But now stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and bones,(H) and he will surely curse you to your face.”(I)

The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, he is in your hands;(J) but you must spare his life.”(K)

So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord and afflicted Job with painful sores from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head.(L) Then Job took a piece of broken pottery and scraped himself with it as he sat among the ashes.(M)

His wife said to him, “Are you still maintaining your integrity?(N) Curse God and die!”(O)

10 He replied, “You are talking like a foolish[b] woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?”(P)

In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.(Q)

11 When Job’s three friends, Eliphaz the Temanite,(R) Bildad the Shuhite(S) and Zophar the Naamathite,(T) heard about all the troubles that had come upon him, they set out from their homes and met together by agreement to go and sympathize with him and comfort him.(U) 12 When they saw him from a distance, they could hardly recognize him;(V) they began to weep aloud,(W) and they tore their robes(X) and sprinkled dust on their heads.(Y) 13 Then they sat on the ground(Z) with him for seven days and seven nights.(AA) No one said a word to him,(AB) because they saw how great his suffering was.

  1. Job 2:1 Hebrew the sons of God
  2. Job 2:10 The Hebrew word rendered foolish denotes moral deficiency.

Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord.

And the Lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.

And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.

But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.

And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.

So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.

And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.

Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.

10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.

11 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.

12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.

13 So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.
