Job 1
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Ang Matarong nga Kinabuhi ni Job
1 May usa ka tawo nga ginganlag Job, nga nagpuyo sa yuta sa Uz. Matarong ug walay ikasaway sa iyang kinabuhi. Nagatahod siya sa Dios ug nagalikay sa paghimo ug daotan. 2 Aduna siyay pito ka anak nga lalaki ug tulo ka anak nga babaye. 3 Aduna siyay 7,000 ka mga karnero, 3,000 ka mga kamelyo, 500 ka parisan nga mga baka, ug 500 ka mga bayeng asno. Aduna usab siyay daghang mga sulugoon. Siya ang pinakaadunahan sa tanang mga tawo dapit sa sidlakan sa Israel.
4 Nabatasan na sa iyang mga anak nga lalaki nga magpuli-puli sila ug pakombira sa ilang matag ka pinuy-anan ug patambongon nila ang ilang tulo ka mga igsoong babaye. 5 Sa matag human sa kombira, maghalad gayod si Job aron mahinloan ang iyang mga anak. Sayo pa siyang mobangon ug maghalad sa mga halad nga sinunog alang sa tagsa-tagsa niya ka mga anak kay naghunahuna siya nga basig nakasala ang iyang mga anak ug nakasulti ug daotan batok sa Dios. Mao kini kanunay ang ginahimo ni Job.
Ang Unang Pagsulay kang Job
6 Usa ka adlaw, nagtigom ang mga anghel[a] sa presensya sa Ginoo, ug nagauban kanila si Satanas. 7 Miingon ang Ginoo kang Satanas, “Asa ka gikan?” Mitubag si Satanas sa Ginoo, “Naglibot-libot ako sa kalibotan.” 8 Miingon ang Ginoo kaniya, “Nakamatikod ka ba sa akong alagad nga si Job? Walay sama kaniya sa kalibotan. Matarong siya ug walay ikasaway sa iyang kinabuhi. Nagatahod siya kanako ug nagalikay sa paghimo ug daotan.” 9 Mitubag si Satanas, “Gitahod ka lang niya tungod kay gipanalanginan mo man siya. 10 Gipanalipdan mo siya ug ang iyang panimalay, apil ang tanan niyang kabtangan. Gipanalanginan mo ang tanan niyang gibuhat, busa midaghan ang iyang kahayopan sa tibuok kayutaan. 11 Apan kuhaa gani ang tanang anaa kaniya ug sigurado gayod nga tunglohon ka niya.” 12 Miingon ang Ginoo kang Satanas, “Sige, kuhaa ang tanan nga anaa kaniya, apan ayaw siyag hilabti.” Busa mibiya si Satanas sa presensya sa Ginoo.
13 Usa ka adlaw, samtang nagkombira ang mga anak ni Job sa balay sa ilang kamagulangang igsoon, 14 may miabot nga usa ka tawo ngadto kang Job ug nagbalita, “Samtang nagadaro kami gamit ang imong mga baka ug nagasabsab ang imong mga asno duol kanamo, 15 kalit lang kaming gisulong sa mga Sabeanhon. Gipangkuha nila ang mga kahayopan, ug gipamatay ang imong mga sulugoon. Ako ra gayoy nakaikyas aron sa pagsugilon kanimo.”
16 Samtang nagsulti pa ang maong tawo, may laing tawo nga miabot ug nagbalita, “Naigo sa kilat ang imong mga karnero ug ang mga magbalantay niini. Ako ra gayoy nakaikyas aron sa pagsugilon kanimo.”
17 Samtang nagsulti pa ang maong tawo, may lain na usab nga miabot ug nagbalita, “Gisulong kami sa tulo ka grupo sa mga Kaldeanhon. Gipanguha nila ang imong mga kamelyo ug gipamatay ang akong kaubang mga sulugoon. Ako ra gayoy nakaikyas aron sa pagsugilon kanimo.”
18 Samtang nagsulti pa ang maong tawo, may lain na usab nga miabot ug nagbalita, “Samtang nagkombira ang imong mga anak didto sa balay sa ilang kamagulangan nga igsoon, 19 kalit lang nga mihapak ang makusog nga hangin gikan sa disyerto, ug nabungkag ang tibuok balay. Nalumpagan ang imong mga anak ug nangamatay sila. Ako ra gayoy nakaikyas aron sa pagsugilon kanimo.”
20 Pagkadungog niadto ni Job, mitindog siya ug gigisi niya ang iyang bisti. Unya gikiskisan niya ang iyang ulo ug mihapa sa yuta sa pagsimba sa Ginoo. 21 Miingon siya, “Natawo ako nga walay dala ug mamatay usab ako nga walay dala. Ang Ginoo ang naghatag sa tanan nga anaa kanako, ug siya usab ang nagbawi. Dayegon ang ngalan sa Ginoo!” 22 Luyo niining tanan, wala makasala si Job ug wala niya basola ang Dios.

Job’s Life
1 A man named Job lived in Uz. He was a man of integrity: He was decent, he feared Elohim, and he stayed away from evil. 2 He had seven sons and three daughters. 3 He owned 7,000 sheep and goats, 3,000 camels, 1,000 oxen, 500 donkeys, and a large number of servants. He was the most influential person in the Middle East.
4 His sons used to go to each other’s homes, where they would have parties. (Each brother took his turn having a party.) They would send someone to invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
5 When they finished having their parties, Job would send for them in order to cleanse them from sin. He would get up early in the morning and sacrifice burnt offerings for each of them. Job thought, “My children may have sinned and cursed Elohim in their hearts.” Job offered sacrifices for them all the time.
Satan Challenges the Lord
6 One day when the sons of Elohim came to stand in front of Yahweh, Satan the Accuser came along with them.
7 Yahweh asked Satan, “Where have you come from?”
Satan answered Yahweh, “From wandering all over the earth.”
8 Yahweh asked Satan, “Have you thought about my servant Job? No one in the world is like him! He is a man of integrity: He is decent, he fears Elohim, and he stays away from evil.”
9 Satan answered Yahweh, “Haven’t you given Job a reason to fear Elohim? 10 Haven’t you put a protective fence around him, his home, and everything he has? You have blessed everything he does. His cattle have spread out over the land. 11 But now stretch out your hand, and strike everything he has. I bet he’ll curse you to your face.”
12 Yahweh told Satan, “Everything he has is in your power, but you must not lay a hand on him!”
Then Satan left Yahweh’s presence.
Job’s First Crisis
13 One day when Job’s sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s home, 14 a messenger came to Job. He said, “While the oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing nearby, 15 men from Sheba attacked. They took the livestock and massacred the servants. I’m the only one who has escaped to tell you.”
16 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “A fire from Elohim fell from heaven and completely burned your flocks and servants. I’m the only one who has escaped to tell you.”
17 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three companies and made a raid on the camels. They took the camels and massacred the servants. I’m the only one who has escaped to tell you.”
18 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine at their oldest brother’s home 19 when suddenly a great storm swept across the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It fell on the young people, and they died. I’m the only one who has escaped to tell you.”
20 Job stood up, tore his robe in grief, and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground and worshiped. 21 He said,
“Naked I came from my mother,
and naked I will return.
Yahweh has given,
and Yahweh has taken away!
May the name of Yahweh be praised.”
22 Through all this Job did not sin or blame Elohim for doing anything wrong.
Job 1
New International Version
Prologue
1 In the land of Uz(A) there lived a man whose name was Job.(B) This man was blameless(C) and upright;(D) he feared God(E) and shunned evil.(F) 2 He had seven sons(G) and three daughters,(H) 3 and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys,(I) and had a large number of servants.(J) He was the greatest man(K) among all the people of the East.(L)
4 His sons used to hold feasts(M) in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified.(N) Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering(O) for each of them, thinking, “Perhaps my children have sinned(P) and cursed God(Q) in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular custom.
6 One day the angels[a](R) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan[b](S) also came with them.(T) 7 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.”(U)
8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job?(V) There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God(W) and shuns evil.”(X)
9 “Does Job fear God for nothing?”(Y) Satan replied. 10 “Have you not put a hedge(Z) around him and his household and everything he has?(AA) You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land.(AB) 11 But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has,(AC) and he will surely curse you to your face.”(AD)
12 The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has(AE) is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.”(AF)
Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.
13 One day when Job’s sons and daughters(AG) were feasting(AH) and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, 14 a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing(AI) nearby, 15 and the Sabeans(AJ) attacked and made off with them. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
16 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The fire of God fell from the heavens(AK) and burned up the sheep and the servants,(AL) and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
17 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The Chaldeans(AM) formed three raiding parties and swept down on your camels and made off with them. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
18 While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came and said, “Your sons and daughters(AN) were feasting(AO) and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, 19 when suddenly a mighty wind(AP) swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead,(AQ) and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!(AR)”
20 At this, Job got up and tore his robe(AS) and shaved his head.(AT) Then he fell to the ground in worship(AU) 21 and said:
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
and naked I will depart.[c](AV)
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away;(AW)
may the name of the Lord be praised.”(AX)
22 In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.(AY)
