Job 33

1Gayon man, Job, isinasamo ko sa iyo na, dinggin mo ang aking pananalita, at pakinggan mo ang lahat ng aking mga salita. 2Narito, ngayon ay aking ibinuka ang aking bibig; nagsalita ang aking dila sa aking bibig. 3Sasaysayin ng aking mga salita ang katuwiran ng aking puso; at ang nalalaman ng aking mga labi ay sasalitaing may pagtatapat. 4Nilalang ako ng Espiritu ng Dios, at ang hinga ng Makapangyarihan sa lahat ay nagbibigay sa akin ng buhay. 5Kung ikaw ay makasasagot ay sumagot ka sa akin; ayusin mo ang iyong mga salita sa harap ko, tumayo ka. 6Narito, ako'y sa Dios na gaya mo: ako ma'y nilalang mula rin sa putik. 7Narito, hindi ka tatakutin ng aking kakilabutan, ni ang aking kalakhan man ay magiging mabigat sa iyo. 8Tunay na ikaw ay nagsalita sa aking pakinig, at aking narinig ang tinig ng iyong mga salita, na nagsasabi, 9Ako'y malinis na walang pagsalangsang; ako'y walang sala, ni may kasamaan man sa akin: 10Narito, siya'y nakasumpong ng kadahilanan laban sa akin, ibinilang niya ako na pinakakaaway: 11Inilagay niya ang aking mga paa sa mga pangawan, kaniyang pinupuna ang lahat na aking landas. 12Narito, ako'y sasagot sa iyo, dito'y hindi ka ganap; sapagka't ang Dios ay dakila kay sa tao. 13Bakit ka nakikilaban sa kaniya? Sapagka't hindi siya nagbibigay alam ng anoman sa kaniyang mga usap. 14Sapagka't ang Dios ay minsang nagsasalita, Oo, makalawa, bagaman hindi pinakikinggan ng tao. 15Sa isang panaginip, sa isang pangitain sa gabi, pagka ang mahimbing na pagkakatulog ay nahuhulog sa mga tao, sa mga pagkakatulog sa higaan; 16Kung magkagayo'y ibinubukas niya ang mga pakinig ng mga tao, at itinatatak ang kanilang turo, 17Upang ihiwalay ang tao sa kaniyang panukala, at ikubli ang kapalaluan sa tao; 18Kaniyang pinipigil ang kaniyang kaluluwa sa pagbulusok sa hukay, at ang kaniyang buhay sa pagkamatay sa pamamagitan ng tabak. 19Siya nama'y pinarurusahan ng sakit sa kaniyang higaan, at ng palaging antak sa kaniyang mga buto: 20Na anopa't kinayayamutan ng kaniyang buhay ang tinapay, at ng kaniyang kaluluwa ang pagkaing pinakamasarap, 21Ang kaniyang laman ay natutunaw, na hindi makita; at ang kaniyang mga buto na hindi nakita ay nangalilitaw. 22Oo, ang kaniyang kaluluwa ay nalalapit sa hukay, at ang kaniyang buhay sa mga mangwawasak. 23Kung doroong kasama niya ang isang anghel, isang tagapagpaaninaw, na isa sa gitna ng isang libo, upang ipakilala sa tao kung ano ang matuwid sa kaniya; 24Kung magkagayo'y binibiyayaan niya siya at nagsasabi, Iligtas mo siya sa pagbaba sa hukay, ako'y nakasumpong ng katubusan. 25Ang kaniyang laman ay magiging sariwa kay sa laman ng isang bata; siya'y bumabalik sa mga kaarawan ng kaniyang kabataan: 26Siya'y dumadalangin sa Dios, at nililingap niya siya: na anopa't kaniyang nakikita ang kaniyang mukha na may kagalakan: at kaniyang isinasa tao ang kaniyang katuwiran. 27Siya'y umaawit sa harap ng mga tao, at nagsasabi, Ako'y nagkasala, at sumira ng matuwid, at hindi ko napakinabangan: 28Kaniyang tinubos ang aking kaluluwa sa pagyao sa hukay, at ang aking buhay ay makakakita ng liwanag. 29Narito, ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito ay gawa ng Dios, makalawa, oo, makaitlo sa tao, 30Upang ibalik ang kaniyang kaluluwa mula sa hukay, upang siya'y maliwanagan ng liwanag ng buhay. 31Pansinin mong mabuti, Oh Job, dinggin mo ako: tumahimik ka, at ako'y magsasalita. 32Kung ikaw ay may anomang bagay na sasabihin, sagutin mo ako: ikaw ay magsalita, sapagka't ibig kong ariin kang ganap. 33Kung hindi, dinggin mo ako: tumahimik ka, at tuturuan kita ng karunungan.

1“However, Job, please hear my speech, and listen to all my words. 2See now, I have opened my mouth. My tongue has spoken in my mouth. 3My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart. That which my lips know they shall speak sincerely. 4The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life. 5If you can, answer me. Set your words in order before me, and stand up. 6Behold, I am toward God even as you are. I am also formed out of the clay. 7Behold, my terror shall not make you afraid, neither shall my pressure be heavy on you. 8“Surely you have spoken in my hearing, I have heard the voice of your words, saying, 9‘I am clean, without disobedience. I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me. 10Behold, he finds occasions against me. He counts me for his enemy. 11He puts my feet in the stocks. He marks all my paths.’ 12“Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just, for God is greater than man. 13Why do you strive against him, because he doesn’t give account of any of his matters? 14For God speaks once, yes twice, though man pays no attention. 15In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in slumbering on the bed; 16Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction, 17That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. 18He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword. 19He is chastened also with pain on his bed, with continual strife in his bones; 20So that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty food. 21His flesh is so consumed away, that it can’t be seen. His bones that were not seen stick out. 22Yes, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers. 23“If there is beside him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him; 24then God is gracious to him, and says, ‘Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.’ 25His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s. He returns to the days of his youth. 26He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy. He restores to man his righteousness. 27He sings before men, and says, ‘I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it didn’t profit me. 28He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit. My life shall see the light.’ 29“Behold, God works all these things, twice, yes three times, with a man, 30to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living. 31Mark well, Job, and listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will speak. 32If you have anything to say, answer me. Speak, for I desire to justify you. 33If not, listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.”

1En gewisselijk, o Job! hoor toch mijn redenen, en neem al mijn woorden ter ore. 2Zie nu, ik heb mijn mond opengedaan; mijn tong spreekt onder mijn gehemelte. 3Mijn redenen zullen de oprechtigheid mijns harten, en de wetenschap mijner lippen, wat zuiver is, uitspreken. 4De Geest Gods heeft mij gemaakt, en de adem des Almachtigen heeft mij levend gemaakt. 5Zo gij kunt, antwoord mij; schik u voor mijn aangezicht, stel u. 6Zie, ik ben Godes, gelijk gij; uit het leem ben ik ook afgesneden. 7Zie, mijn verschrikking zal u niet beroeren, en mijn hand zal over u niet zwaar zijn. 8Zeker, gij hebt gezegd voor mijn oren, en ik heb de stem der woorden gehoord; 9Ik ben rein, zonder overtreding; ik ben zuiver, en heb geen misdaad. 10Zie, Hij vindt oorzaken tegen mij, Hij houdt mij voor Zijn vijand. 11Hij legt mijn voeten in den stok; Hij neemt al mijn paden waar. 12Zie, hierin zijt gij niet rechtvaardig, antwoord ik u; want God is meerder dan een mens. 13Waarom hebt gij tegen Hem getwist? Want Hij antwoordt niet van al Zijn daden. 14Maar God spreekt eens of tweemaal; doch men let niet daarop. 15In den droom, door het gezicht des nachts, als een diepe slaap op de lieden valt, in de sluimering op het leger; 16Dan openbaart Hij het voor het oor der lieden, en Hij verzegelt hun kastijding; 17Opdat Hij den mens afwende van zijn werk, en van den man de hovaardij verberge; 18Dat Hij zijn ziel van het verderf afhoude; en zijn leven, dat het door het zwaard niet doorga. 19Ook wordt hij gestraft met smart op zijn leger, en de sterke menigte zijner beenderen; 20Zodat zijn leven het brood zelf verfoeit, en zijn ziel de begeerlijke spijze; 21Dat zijn vlees verdwijnt uit het gezicht, en zijn beenderen, die niet gezien werden, uitsteken; 22En zijn ziel nadert ten verderve, en zijn leven tot de dingen, die doden. 23Is er dan bij Hem een Gezant, een Uitlegger, een uit duizend, om den mens zijn rechten plicht te verkondigen; 24Zo zal Hij hem genadig zijn, en zeggen: Verlos hem, dat hij in het verderf niet nederdale, Ik heb verzoening gevonden. 25Zijn vlees zal frisser worden dan het was in de jeugd; hij zal tot de dagen zijner jonkheid wederkeren. 26Hij zal tot God ernstiglijk bidden, Die in hem een welbehagen nemen zal, en zijn aangezicht met gejuich aanzien; want Hij zal den mens zijn gerechtigheid wedergeven. 27Hij zal de mensen aanschouwen, en zeggen: Ik heb gezondigd, en het recht verkeerd, hetwelk mij niet heeft gebaat; 28Maar God heeft mijn ziel verlost, dat zij niet voere in het verderf, zodat mijn leven het licht aanziet. 29Zie, dit alles werkt God tweemaal of driemaal met een man; 30Opdat hij zijn ziel afkere van het verderf, en hij verlicht worde met het licht der levenden. 31Merk op, o Job! Hoor naar mij; zwijg, en ik zal spreken. 32Zo er redenen zijn, antwoord mij; spreek, want ik heb lust u te rechtvaardigen. 33Zo niet, hoor naar mij; zwijg, en ik zal u wijsheid leren.
