Job 29
Magandang Balita Biblia
Sinariwa ni Job ang Maliligaya Niyang Araw
29 Muling nagsalita si Job,
2 “Kung maibabalik ko lang ang mga unang araw
noong ang Diyos sa akin ay palagi pang nagbabantay;
3 Nang ang liwanag niya sa akin ay gumagabay,
sa paglakad ko sa dilim, siya ang aking tanglaw.
4 Noon, ako ay sagana, maluwag ang pamumuhay,
kaibigang matalik ang Diyos na buháy, at sa buong pamilya ko, siya ang patnubay.
5 Noon ay malapit ang Makapangyarihang Diyos sa akin,
at ang mga anak ko'y lagi sa aking piling.
6 Masagana ang gatas mula sa aking kawan,
olibong nagbibigay ng langis, tumutubo kahit sa batuhan.
7 Kapag pumupunta ako noon sa mga kapulungan,
at nauupong kasama ng mga pinuno ng bayan,
8 kapag ako'y natanaw, mga kabataa'y nagbibigay-daan,
mga matatanda nama'y tumatayo at nagbibigay-galang.
9-10 Ihihinto ng pinuno, kanilang usapan,
at mga maharlika'y tatahimik na lamang.
11 “Kapag ako'y nakita at kanilang narinig,
sila'y sumasang-ayon at sa aki'y pumapanig.
12 Sapagkat tinulungan ko ang dukha sa kanilang pangangailangan,
dinamayan ko ang mga ulilang wala nang mapuntahan.
13 Pinupuri ako ng mga dumanas ng kasawian,
natulungang mga biyuda sa tuwa'y nag-aawitan.
14 At ang lagi kong adhikain, katarungan at katuwiran ay siyang pairalin.
15 Para sa mga bulag, ako'y nagsilbing mata;
at sa mga pilay, ako ang kanilang paa.
16 Nagsilbi akong ama ng mga mahihirap,
kahit di ko kilala ay aking nililingap.
17 Ang lakas ng masasama, aking sinisira
ang kanilang mga bihag, sinikap kong mapalaya.
18 “Umaasa ako noong hahaba ang aking buhay,
at sa aking tahanan payapang mamamatay.
19 Tulad ko noo'y punongkahoy na sa tubig ay sagana,
at ang mga sanga, sa hamog laging basa.
20 Pinupuri ako ng halos lahat,
at di nauubos ang aking lakas.
21 Sa mga payo ko sila'y nananabik,
sa sinasabi ko sila'y nakikinig.
22 Ang sinabi ko'y di na dapat ulitin,
pagkat sa isip agad itong naitatanim.
23 Sa mga sasabihin ko'y lagi silang naghihintay,
salita ko'y parang ulan sa panahon ng tag-araw.
24 At ang aking mga ngiti sa kanila'y pampalakas-loob,
sa saya ng aking mukha silang lahat ay nalulugod.
25 Para akong hari na sa hukbo'y nag-uutos,
at nagbibigay ng aliw kapag sila'y nalulungkot.
Job 29
King James Version
29 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
2 Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
3 When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;
4 As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
5 When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
6 When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
7 When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
8 The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
9 The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
10 The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
11 When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
12 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
16 I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
17 And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
18 Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
19 My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
20 My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
21 Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
22 After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
23 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
24 If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
25 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
