Job 2

1Nangyari uli na sa araw nang pagparoon ng mga anak ng Dios upang magsiharap sa Panginoon, na nakiparoon din si Satanas, upang humarap sa Panginoon. 2At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Satanas, Saan ka nanggaling? At si Satanas ay sumagot sa Panginoon, at nagsabi, Sa pagpaparoo't parito sa lupa, at sa pagmamanhik manaog doon. 3At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Satanas, Iyo bang pinansin ang aking lingkod na si Job? sapagka't walang gaya niya sa lupa, na sakdal at matuwid na lalake, na natatakot sa Dios, at humihiwalay sa kasamaan: at siya'y namamalagi sa kaniyang pagtatapat, bagaman ako'y kinilos mo laban sa kaniya, upang ilugmok siya ng walang kadahilanan. 4At si Satanas ay sumagot sa Panginoon, at nagsabi, Balat kung balat, oo, lahat na tinatangkilik ng tao ay ibibigay dahil sa kaniyang buhay. 5Nguni't pagbuhatan mo ngayon ng iyong kamay, at galawin mo ang kaniyang buto at ang kaniyang laman, at kaniyang itatakuwil ka ng mukhaan. 6At ang Panginoon ay nagsabi kay Satanas, Narito, siya'y nasa iyong kamay; ingatan mo lamang ang kaniyang buhay. 7Sa gayo'y umalis si Satanas mula sa harapan ng Panginoon, at pinasibulan si Job ng mga masamang bukol na mula sa talampakan ng kaniyang paa hanggang sa kaniyang puyo. 8At kumuha siya ng isang bibinga ng palyok upang ipangkayod ng langib; at siya'y naupo sa mga abo. 9Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng kaniyang asawa sa kaniya, Namamalagi ka pa ba sa iyong pagtatapat? itakuwil mo ang Dios, at mamatay ka. 10Nguni't sinabi niya sa kaniya, Ikaw ay nagsasalita na gaya ng pagsasalita ng hangal na babae. Ano? tatanggap ba tayo ng mabuti sa kamay ng Dios, at hindi tayo tatanggap ng masama? Sa lahat ng ito ay hindi nagkasala si Job ng kaniyang mga labi. 11Nang mabalitaan nga ng tatlong kaibigan ni Job ang lahat na kasamaang ito na sumapit sa kaniya sila'y naparoon bawa't isa na mula sa kanikaniyang sariling pook, si Eliphaz na Temanita, at si Bildad na Suhita, at si Sophar na Naamathita: at sila'y nangagkaiisang loob na magsiparoon upang makidamay sa kaniya at aliwin siya. 12At nang kanilang itanaw ang kanilang mga mata mula sa malayo, at hindi siya makilala, kanilang inilakas ang kanilang tinig, at nagsiiyak at hinapak ng bawa't isa sa kanila ang kanikaniyang balabal, at nagbuhos ng alabok sa kanilang mga ulo sa dakong langit. 13Sa gayo'y nangakiumpok sila sa kaniya sa ibabaw ng lupa na pitong araw at pitong gabi, at walang nagsalita sa kaniya: sapagka't kanilang nakita na ang kaniyang paghihirap ay totoong malaki.

1Again, on the day when the God’s sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, Satan came also among them to present himself before Yahweh. 2Yahweh said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.” 3Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause.” 4Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. 5But stretch out your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face.” 6Yahweh said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand. Only spare his life.” 7So Satan went out from the presence of Yahweh, and struck Job with painful sores from the sole of his foot to his head. 8He took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with, and he sat among the ashes. 9Then his wife said to him, “Do you still maintain your integrity? Renounce God, and die.” 10But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?” In all this Job didn’t sin with his lips. 11Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that had come on him, they each came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, and they made an appointment together to come to sympathize with him and to comfort him. 12When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and didn’t recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and sprinkled dust on their heads toward the sky. 13So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.

1Wederom was er een dag, als de kinderen Gods kwamen, om zich voor den HEERE te stellen, dat de satan ook in het midden van hen kwam, om zich voor den HEERE te stellen. 2Toen zeide de HEERE tot den satan: Van waar komt gij? En de satan antwoordde den HEERE, en zeide: Van om te trekken op de aarde, en van die te doorwandelen. 3En de HEERE zeide tot den satan: Hebt gij ook acht geslagen op Mijn knecht Job? Want niemand is op de aarde gelijk hij, een man, oprecht en vroom, godvrezende en wijkende van het kwaad; en hij houdt nog vast aan zijn oprechtigheid, hoewel gij Mij tegen hem opgehitst hebt, om hem te verslinden zonder oorzaak. 4Toen antwoordde de satan den HEERE, en zeide: Huid voor huid, en al wat iemand heeft, zal hij geven voor zijn leven. 5Doch strek nu Uw hand uit, en tast zijn gebeente en zijn vlees aan; zo hij U niet in Uw aangezicht zal zegenen! 6En de HEERE zeide tot den satan: Zie, hij zij in uw hand, doch verschoon zijn leven. 7Toen ging de satan uit van het aangezicht des HEEREN, en sloeg Job met boze zweren, van zijn voetzool af tot zijn schedel toe. 8En hij nam zich een potscherf, om zich daarmede te schrabben, en hij zat neder in het midden der as. 9Toen zeide zijn huisvrouw tot hem: Houdt gij nog vast aan uw oprechtigheid? Zegen God, en sterf. 10Maar hij zeide tot haar: Gij spreekt als een der zottinnen spreekt; ja, zouden wij het goede van God ontvangen, en het kwade niet ontvangen? In dit alles zondigde Job met zijn lippen niet. 11Als nu de drie vrienden van Job gehoord hadden al dit kwaad, dat over hem gekomen was, kwamen zij, ieder uit zijn plaats, Elifaz, de Themaniet, en Bildad, de Suhiet, en Zofar, de Naamathiet; en zij waren het eens geworden, dat zij kwamen om hem te beklagen, en om hem te vertroosten. 12En toen zij hun ogen van verre ophieven, kenden zij hem niet, en hieven hun stem op, en weenden; daartoe scheurden zij een ieder zijn mantel, en strooiden stof op hun hoofden naar den hemel. 13Alzo zaten zij met hem op de aarde, zeven dagen en zeven nachten; en niemand sprak tot hem een woord, want zij zagen, dat de smart zeer groot was.
