Job 19
Magandang Balita Biblia
Naniniwala si Job na Pawawalang-sala Siya ng Diyos
19 Ang sagot ni Job,
2 “Hanggang kailan ninyo ako pahihirapan
sa mga salitang inyong binibitawan?
3 Maraming ulit na ninyo akong nilait,
di na kayo nahiya na sa aki'y magmalabis.
4 Kung nakagawa man ako ng kasalanan;
walang ibang mananagot kundi ako lamang.
5 Akala ninyo kayo'y mas mabuti kaysa akin,
pinagbabatayan ninyo'y ang hirap kong pasanin.
6 Dapat ninyong malaman, ang Diyos ang may gawa nito;
ang bitag niyang iniumang ay nasa paligid ko.
7 Tumututol ako sa ganitong karahasan,
ngunit walang nakikinig
sa sigaw kong katarungan.
8 Hinarangan ng Diyos ang aking daraanan;
binalot niya ng dilim ang landas kong lalakaran.
9 Inalis niyang lahat ang aking kayamanan,
sinira pa niya ang aking karangalan.
10 Saanman ako bumaling, ako'y kanyang pinapalo,
parang punong binunot, pag-asa ko'y natutuyo.
11 Matindi ang galit ng Diyos sa akin;
isang kaaway ang sa aki'y kanyang turing.
12 Ang hukbo niya ay tinipon at ako ay kinubkob,
ang aking tahanan ay kanilang sinakop.
13 “Ang mga kapatid ko'y pinalayo niya sa akin;
mga dating kakilala, hindi na ako pinapansin.
14 Pati mga kamag-anak ko'y nag-alisan; naiwan akong walang kaibigan.
15 Dati kong mga panauhi'y di na ako kilala;
para na akong dayuhan sa aking mga alila.
16 Ang utos ko sa kanila'y hindi na rin pinapansin,
makiusap man ako'y ayaw pa rin akong sundin.
17 Pati na ang asawa ko'y nandidiri sa akin;
mga kapatid ko sa laman, ayaw akong makapiling.
18 Ako'y kinukutya ng mga batang paslit; kapag ako'y nakita, pinagtatawanan at nilalait.
19 Mga(A) kaibigan kong matalik sa akin ay nasusuklam,
ang mga minamahal ko, ako'y nilalayuan.
20 Buto't balat na lamang ang natitira sa akin,
ang pag-asa kong mabuhay, maliit na at katiting.
21 Mga kaibigan ko, sa akin sana'y mahabag;
kamay na ng Diyos ang sa aki'y humahampas.
22 Bakit n'yo ako inuusig tulad ng ginagawa ng Diyos?
Di pa ba kayo masaya sa kahirapan kong lubos?
23 “Ang mga salita ko sana'y maisulat
at maitala sa isang buong aklat!
24 At maiukit sa bato itong mga sinabi ko
upang habang panaho'y mabasa ng mga tao.
25 Ngunit alam kong di natutulog ang aking Tagapagligtas,[a]
na magtatanggol sa akin pagdating ng wakas.
26 Pagkatapos na maubos itong aking buong balat,
makikita ko ang Diyos kahit laman ay maagnas.
27 Siya'y aking mamamasdan, at mukhaang makikita;
siya'y makikilala nitong aking mga mata.
Ang puso ko'y nananabik na masdan ko na siya.
28 “Ako ay patuloy ninyong uusigin,
pagkat iniisip ninyong ang sala nga ay sa akin.
29 Kayo sana ay mag-ingat sa talim nitong tabak,
na siyang maghahatid ng parusa sa kasalanan,
upang inyong malamang may hahatol nga sa wakas.”

Job 19
Amplified Bible
Job Feels Insulted
19 Then Job answered and said,
2
“How long will you torment and exasperate me
And crush me with words?
3
“These ten times you have insulted me;
You are not ashamed to wrong me [and harden your hearts against me].
4
“And if it were true that I have erred,
My error would remain with me [and I would be conscious of it].
5
“If indeed you [braggarts] vaunt and magnify yourselves over me
And prove my disgrace (humiliation) to me,
6
Know then that God has wronged me and overthrown me
And has closed His net around me.
Everything Is Against Him
7
“Behold, I cry out, ‘Violence!’ but I am not heard;
I shout for help, but there is no justice.
8
“He has walled up my way so that I cannot pass,
And He has set darkness upon my paths.
9
“He has stripped me of my honor
And removed the crown from my head.
10
“He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone;
He has uprooted my hope like a tree.
11
“He has also kindled His wrath [like a fire] against me
And He considers and counts me as one of His adversaries.
12
“His troops come together
And build up their way and siege works against me
And camp around my tent.
13
“He has put my brothers far from me,
And my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.
14
“My relatives have failed [me],
And my intimate friends have forgotten me.
15
“Those who live [temporarily] in my house and my maids consider me a stranger;
I am a foreigner in their sight.
16
“I call to my servant, but he does not answer;
I have to implore him with words.
17
“My breath is repulsive to my wife,
And I am loathsome to my own brothers.
18
“Even young children despise me;
When I get up, they speak against me.
19
“All the men of my council hate me;
Those I love have turned against me.
20
“My bone clings to my skin and to my flesh,
And I have escaped [death] by the skin of my teeth.
21
“Have pity on me! Have pity on me, O you my friends,
For the hand of God has touched me.
22
“Why do you persecute me as God does?
Why are you not satisfied with my flesh (anguish)?
Job Says, “My Redeemer Lives”
23
“Oh, that the words I now speak were written!
Oh, that they were recorded in a scroll!
24
“That with an iron stylus and [molten] lead
They were engraved in the rock forever!
25
“For I know that my Redeemer and Vindicator lives,
And at the last He will take His stand upon the earth.(A)
26
“Even after my [mortal] skin is destroyed [by death],
Yet from my [immortal] flesh I will see God,
27
Whom I, even I, will see for myself,
And my eyes will see Him and not another!
My heart faints within me.
28
“If you say, ‘How shall we [continue to] persecute him?’
And ‘What pretext for a case against him can we find [since we claim the root of these afflictions is found in him]?’
29
“Then beware and be afraid of the sword [of divine vengeance] for yourselves,
For wrathful are the punishments of that sword,
So that you may know there is judgment.”
