Job 36
Magandang Balita Biblia
Ipinahayag ni Elihu ang Kadakilaan ng Diyos
36 Idinagdag pa ni Elihu,
2 “Magtiyaga ka pa nang kaunti at makinig sa akin,
pagkat ayon sa Diyos itong aking sasabihin.
3 Ibubuhos kong lahat ang aking nalalaman
upang patunayang ang aking Diyos ay makatarungan.
4 Lahat ng sasabihin ko ay pawang katotohanan,
pagkat akong kausap mo'y malawak ang kaalaman.
5 “Ang Diyos ay dakila at di nagtatakwil ng sinuman,
siya ay dakila sa taglay niyang kaalaman.
6 Hindi niya pinatatagal ang buhay ng mga makasalanan,
ang mga mahihirap ay binibigyan niya ng katarungan.
7 Ang matuwid ay kanyang iniingatan,
ginagawang parang hari,
at binibigyang-karangalan sa lahat ng sandali.
8 Kung ang tao'y nagagapos o natatanikalaan
o kaya'y nagdurusa sa nagawang kasalanan,
9 ipinamumukha ng Diyos ang kanilang kasamaan,
at ang naghaharing hambog na isipan.
10 Sila'y kanyang sinasaway at binabalaan
na tumalikod sa kanilang kasamaan.
11 Kung sila ay makinig at sa Diyos ay maglingkod,
buhay na sagana at payapa, sa kanila'y idudulot.
12 Ngunit kapag sila'y di nakinig at pinairal ang kamangmangan,
tiyak na kamatayan ang kanilang hahantungan.
13 “Poot ang naghahari sa dibdib ng masama,
parusahan man ng Diyos, ayaw pa ring magmakaawa.
14 Sa kanilang kabataan sila ay namamatay,
nagwakas sa kahihiyan ang kanilang mga buhay.
15 Ang tao'y pinaghihirap ng Diyos upang bigyang-aral,
at kanyang pinagdurusa upang mabuksan ang kanilang pananaw.
16 “Inalis ka ng Diyos sa kaguluhan,
pinagtamasa ka niya ng kapayapaan,
at pinuno ng pagkain ang iyong tahanan.
17 Ngunit ngayon, ikaw ay pinaparusahan bilang katumbas ng iyong kasamaan.
18 Huwag mong pabayaang suhulan ka ng sinuman,
mag-ingat upang di mailigaw ng mga kayamanan.
19 Dumaing ka man nang dumaing ay wala nang mangyayari,
ang taglay mong lakas ngayon ay wala na ring silbi.
20 Huwag mong naising ang gabi'y dumating na,
ang oras na ang mga bansa ay mawawala na.
21 Huwag mong isipin ang magpakasama,
ito ang dahilan kaya ika'y nagdurusa.
22 “Alalahanin mong ang Diyos ay makapangyarihan,
pinakadakilang guro sa lahat ng bagay.
23 Walang makakapagsabi sa Diyos ng dapat niyang gampanan,
at walang kasamaang maaaring ibintang.
24 Lahat ay nagpupuri sa kanya dahil sa kanyang ginagawa,
kaya ikaw man ay magpuri rin at sa kanya'y dumakila.
25 Ang mga gawa niya, lahat ay namasdan,
ngunit hindi ito lubos na maunawaan.
26 Di masusukat ng tao ang kanyang kadakilaan,
at ang kanyang mga taon ay hindi rin mabibilang.
27 “Ang tubig sa lupa'y itinataas ng Diyos,
upang gawing ulan at sa daigdig ay ibuhos.
28 Ang mga ulap ay ginagawa niyang ulan,
at masaganang ibinubuhos sa sangkatauhan.
29 Sa galaw ng mga ulap ay walang nakakaalam,
at kung paano kumukulog sa kalangitan.
30 Pinagliliwanag niya ang kalawakan sa pagguhit ng kidlat,
ngunit nananatiling madilim ang kailaliman ng dagat.
31 Pinapamahalaan niya ang tao sa ganitong paraan,
at masaganang pagkain, tayo'y hindi pinagkaitan.
32 Ang kidlat ay kanyang hinahawakan,
at pinababagsak sa nais niyang matamaan.
33 Ipinapahayag ng kidlat ang kanyang kalooban,
at ang kanyang galit laban sa kasamaan.
Job 36
New Living Translation
36 Elihu continued speaking:
2 “Let me go on, and I will show you the truth.
For I have not finished defending God!
3 I will present profound arguments
for the righteousness of my Creator.
4 I am telling you nothing but the truth,
for I am a man of great knowledge.
5 “God is mighty, but he does not despise anyone!
He is mighty in both power and understanding.
6 He does not let the wicked live
but gives justice to the afflicted.
7 He never takes his eyes off the innocent,
but he sets them on thrones with kings
and exalts them forever.
8 If they are bound in chains
and caught up in a web of trouble,
9 he shows them the reason.
He shows them their sins of pride.
10 He gets their attention
and commands that they turn from evil.
11 “If they listen and obey God,
they will be blessed with prosperity throughout their lives.
All their years will be pleasant.
12 But if they refuse to listen to him,
they will cross over the river of death,
dying from lack of understanding.
13 For the godless are full of resentment.
Even when he punishes them,
they refuse to cry out to him for help.
14 They die when they are young,
after wasting their lives in immoral living.
15 But by means of their suffering, he rescues those who suffer.
For he gets their attention through adversity.
16 “God is leading you away from danger, Job,
to a place free from distress.
He is setting your table with the best food.
17 But you are obsessed with whether the godless will be judged.
Don’t worry, judgment and justice will be upheld.
18 But watch out, or you may be seduced by wealth.[a]
Don’t let yourself be bribed into sin.
19 Could all your wealth[b]
or all your mighty efforts
keep you from distress?
20 Do not long for the cover of night,
for that is when people will be destroyed.[c]
21 Be on guard! Turn back from evil,
for God sent this suffering
to keep you from a life of evil.
Elihu Reminds Job of God’s Power
22 “Look, God is all-powerful.
Who is a teacher like him?
23 No one can tell him what to do,
or say to him, ‘You have done wrong.’
24 Instead, glorify his mighty works,
singing songs of praise.
25 Everyone has seen these things,
though only from a distance.
26 “Look, God is greater than we can understand.
His years cannot be counted.
27 He draws up the water vapor
and then distills it into rain.
28 The rain pours down from the clouds,
and everyone benefits.
29 Who can understand the spreading of the clouds
and the thunder that rolls forth from heaven?
30 See how he spreads the lightning around him
and how it lights up the depths of the sea.
31 By these mighty acts he nourishes[d] the people,
giving them food in abundance.
32 He fills his hands with lightning bolts
and hurls each at its target.
33 The thunder announces his presence;
the storm announces his indignant anger.[e]
