Job 23
Ang Biblia, 2001
Nais ni Job na Iharap sa Diyos ang Kanyang Kalagayan
23 Nang magkagayo'y sumagot si Job, at sinabi,
2 “Ang aking sumbong ngayo'y mapait[a] din,
ang kamay niya'y mabigat sa kabila ng aking pagdaing.
3 O kung alam ko lamang kung saan ko siya matatagpuan,
upang ako'y makalapit maging sa kanyang upuan!
4 Ilalagay ko ang aking usapin sa kanyang harapan,
at pupunuin ko ang aking bibig ng mga pangangatuwiran.
5 Malalaman ko kung ano ang kanyang isasagot sa akin,
at mauunawaan ko kung ano ang kanyang sasabihin sa akin.
6 Makikipagtalo ba siya sa akin sa laki ng kanyang kapangyarihan?
Hindi; kundi ako'y kanyang papakinggan.
7 Makakapangatuwiran sa kanya ang matuwid doon;
at ako'y pawawalang-sala magpakailanman ng aking hukom.
8 “Ako'y lumalakad pasulong ngunit wala siya roon;
at pabalik, ngunit hindi ko siya maunawaan;
9 sa kaliwa ay hinahanap ko siya, ngunit hindi ko siya namataan,
bumaling ako sa kanan, ngunit hindi ko siya mamasdan.
10 Ngunit nalalaman niya ang daang nilalakaran ko;
kapag ako'y kanyang nasubok, ay lalabas akong parang ginto.
11 Lubos na sumunod sa kanyang mga hakbang ang mga paa ko,
ang kanyang landas ay aking iningatan, at hindi ako lumiko.
12 Ako'y hindi humiwalay sa utos ng kanyang mga labi;
pinagyaman ko ang mga salita ng kanyang bibig sa aking dibdib.
13 Ngunit siya'y hindi nagbabago, at sinong makakahimok sa kanya?
Kung ano ang kanyang ninanasa, iyon ang kanyang ginagawa.
14 Sapagkat kanyang lulubusin ang itinakda niya para sa akin;
at maraming gayong mga bagay ang nasa kanyang isipan.
15 Kaya't sa kanyang harapan ako'y nanghihilakbot;
kapag aking binubulay, sa kanya ako'y natatakot.
16 Pinapanlupaypay ng Diyos ang aking puso,
tinakot ako ng Makapangyarihan sa lahat;
17 gayunma'y hindi ako inihiwalay sa kadiliman,
at takpan ng makapal na kadiliman ang mukha ko!

23 Then Job replied:
2 “Even today my complaint(A) is bitter;(B)
his hand[a] is heavy in spite of[b] my groaning.(C)
3 If only I knew where to find him;
if only I could go to his dwelling!(D)
4 I would state my case(E) before him
and fill my mouth with arguments.(F)
5 I would find out what he would answer me,(G)
and consider what he would say to me.
6 Would he vigorously oppose me?(H)
No, he would not press charges against me.(I)
7 There the upright(J) can establish their innocence before him,(K)
and there I would be delivered forever from my judge.(L)
8 “But if I go to the east, he is not there;
if I go to the west, I do not find him.
9 When he is at work in the north, I do not see him;
when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him.(M)
10 But he knows the way that I take;(N)
when he has tested me,(O) I will come forth as gold.(P)
11 My feet have closely followed his steps;(Q)
I have kept to his way without turning aside.(R)
12 I have not departed from the commands of his lips;(S)
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.(T)
13 “But he stands alone, and who can oppose him?(U)
He does whatever he pleases.(V)
14 He carries out his decree against me,
and many such plans he still has in store.(W)
15 That is why I am terrified before him;(X)
when I think of all this, I fear him.(Y)
16 God has made my heart faint;(Z)
the Almighty(AA) has terrified me.(AB)
17 Yet I am not silenced by the darkness,(AC)
by the thick darkness that covers my face.
