¹There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” , and turned away from evil.

¹May 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.

²There were born to him seven sons and three daughters.

²At may ipinanganak sa kaniya na pitong anak na lalake at tatlong anak na babae.

³His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.

³Ang 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.

⁴His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his birthday; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.

⁴At ang kaniyang mga anak ay nagsiyaon at nagsipagdaos ng kapistahan sa bahay ng bawa't isa sa kanikaniyang kaarawan; at sila'y nangagsugo, at ipinatawag ang kanilang tatlong kapatid na babae upang magsikain at magsiinom na kasalo nila.

⁵It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, 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.” Job did so continually.

⁵At 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.

⁶Now it happened on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. that Satan also came among them.

⁶Isang araw nga nang ang mga anak ng Dios ay magsiparoon na magsiharap sa Panginoon, na si Satanas ay naparoon din naman na kasama nila.

⁷Yahweh said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”

⁷At 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.

⁸Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil.”

⁸At 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.

⁹Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing?

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

¹⁰Haven’t you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

¹⁰Hindi mo ba kinulong siya, at ang kaniyang sangbahayan, at ang lahat niyang tinatangkilik, sa bawa't dako? iyong pinagpala ang gawa ng kaniyang mga kamay, at ang kaniyang pag-aari ay dumami sa lupain.

¹¹But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face.”

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

¹²Yahweh said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power. Only on himself don’t put forth your hand.” So Satan went forth from the presence of Yahweh.

¹²At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Satanas, Narito, lahat niyang tinatangkilik ay nangasa iyong kapangyarihan; siya lamang ang huwag mong pagbuhatan ng iyong kamay. Sa gayo'y lumabas si Satanas na mula sa harapan ng Panginoon.

¹³It fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house,

¹³At 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.

¹⁴that there came a messenger to Job, and said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,

¹⁴Na dumating ang isang sugo kay Job, at nagsabi, Ang mga baka ay nagsisipagararo, at ang mga asno ay nagsisisabsab sa siping nila:

¹⁵and the Sabeans attacked, and took them away. Yes, they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

¹⁵At 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.

¹⁶While he was still speaking, there also came another, and said, “The fire of God has fallen from the sky, and has burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

¹⁶Samantalang siya'y nagsasalita pa, ay dumating naman ang iba, at nagsabi, Ang apoy ng Dios ay nalaglag mula sa langit, at sinunog ang mga tupa, at ang mga bataan, at pinagsupok; at ako lamang ang nakatanang magisa upang magsaysay sa iyo.

¹⁷While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, “The Chaldeans made three bands, and swept down on the camels, and have taken them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

¹⁷Samantalang 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.

¹⁸While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house,

¹⁸Samantalang siya'y nagsasalita pa, ay dumating naman ang iba, at nagsabi, Ang iyong mga anak na lalake at babae ay nagsisikain at nagsisiinom ng alak sa bahay ng kanilang kapatid na panganay:

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

¹⁹At, 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.

²⁰Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshiped.

²⁰Nang magkagayo'y bumangon si Job, at hinapak ang kaniyang balabal, at inahitan ang kaniyang ulo, at nagpatirapa sa lupa at sumamba;

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

²¹At 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.

²²In all this, Job did not sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.

²²Sa lahat ng ito ay hindi nagkasala si Job, ni inari mang mangmang ang Dios.
