Job 1

¹ May isang lalake sa lupain ng Uz, na ang pangalan ay Job; at ang lalaking yaon ay sakdal at matuwid, at natatakot sa Dios, at humihiwalay sa kasamaan.

¹ There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and that man was blameless, upright, fearing God and turning away from evil.

³ Ang kaniyang pag-aari naman ay pitong libong tupa, at tatlong libong kamelyo, at limang daang magkatuwang na baka, at limang daang asnong babae, at isang totoong malaking sangbahayan; na anopa't ang lalaking ito ay siyang pinaka dakila sa lahat na mga anak ng silanganan.

³ His possessions also were 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, 500 female donkeys, and very many servants; and that man was the greatest of all the men of the east.

⁵ At nangyari, nang makaraan ang mga kaarawan ng kanilang pagpipista, na si Job ay nagsugo, at pinapagbanal sila, at bumangong maaga sa kinaumagahan, at naghandog ng mga handog na susunugin ayon sa bilang nilang lahat: sapagka't sinabi ni Job, Marahil ang aking mga anak ay nangagkasala, at itinakuwil ang Dios sa kanilang mga puso. Ganito ang ginawa ni Job na palagi.

⁵ When the days of feasting had completed their cycle, Job would send and consecrate them, rising up early in the morning and offering burnt offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Thus Job did continually.

⁷ At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Satanas, Saan ka nanggaling? Nang magkagayo'y sumagot si Satanas sa Panginoon, at nagsabi, Sa pagpaparoo't parito sa lupa, at sa pagmamanhik manaog doon.

⁷ The Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?” Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it.”

⁹ Nang magkagayo'y sumagot si Satanas sa Panginoon, at nagsabi, Natatakot ba ng walang kabuluhan si Job sa Dios?

⁹ Then Satan answered the Lord, “Does Job fear God for nothing?

¹¹ Nguni't pagbuhatan mo siya ng iyong kamay ngayon, at galawin mo ang lahat niyang tinatangkilik, at itatakuwil ka niya ng mukhaan,

¹¹ But put forth Your hand now and touch all that he has; he will surely curse You to Your face.”

¹³ At nangyari isang araw, nang ang kaniyang mga anak na lalake at babae ay nagsisikain at nagsisiinom ng alak sa bahay ng kanilang kapatid na panganay.

¹³ Now on the day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,

¹⁵ At dinaluhong ng mga Sabeo, at pinagdadala; oo, kanilang pinatay ng talim ng tabak ang mga bataan; at ako lamang ang nakatanang magisa upang magsaysay sa iyo.

¹⁵ and the Sabeans attacked and took them. They also slew the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

¹⁷ Samantalang siya'y nagsasalita pa, ay dumating naman ang iba, at nagsabi, Ang mga Caldeo ay nagtatlong pulutong, at dumaluhong sa mga kamelyo, at pinagdadala, oo, at pinatay ng talim ng tabak ang mga bataan; at ako lamang ang nakatanang magisa upang magsaysay sa iyo.

¹⁷ While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three bands and made a raid on the camels and took them and slew the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

¹⁹ At, narito, dumating ang malakas na hangin na mula sa ilang, at hinampas ang apat na sulok ng bahay, at lumagpak sa mga binata, at sila'y nangamatay; at ako lamang ang nakatanang magisa upang magsaysay sa iyo.

¹⁹ and behold, a great wind came from across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people and they died, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

²¹ At sinabi niya, Hubad akong lumabas sa bahay-bata ng aking ina, at hubad na babalik ako roon: ang Panginoon ang nagbigay, at ang Panginoon ang nagalis; purihin ang pangalan ng Panginoon.

²¹ He said,“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,And naked I shall return there.The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away.Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
