Sinubok ni Satanas si Job
1 May isang lalaking nakatira sa lupain ng Uz na nagngangalang Job. Siya'y isang mabuting tao, sumasamba sa Diyos at umiiwas sa masamang gawain. 2 Mayroon siyang pitong anak na lalaki at tatlong anak na babae. 3 Marami siyang tagapaglingkod at siya ang pinakamayaman sa buong silangan. Pitong libo ang kanyang tupa, tatlong libo ang kamelyo, sanlibo ang baka at limandaan ang asno. 4 Nakaugalian na ng kanyang mga anak na lalaki na hali-haliling magdaos ng handaan sa kani-kanilang bahay at inaanyayahan nila ang mga kapatid nilang babae. 5 Tuwing matatapos ang ganoong handaan, ipinapatawag ni Job ang kanyang mga anak para sa isang rituwal. Maagang bumabangon si Job kinabukasan upang mag-alay sa Diyos ng handog na sinusunog para sa kanyang mga anak dahil baka lihim na nilalapastangan ng mga ito ang Diyos at sila'y magkasala.
6 Dumating(A) ang araw na ang mga anak ng Diyos[a] ay humarap kay Yahweh at naroon din si Satanas.[b] 7 Tinanong ni Yahweh si Satanas,[c] “Ano ba'ng pinagkakaabalahan mo ngayon?”
“Nagpapabalik-balik ako sa lahat ng sulok ng daigdig,” sagot ni Satanas.[d]
8 “Napansin mo ba ang lingkod kong si Job?” tanong ni Yahweh. “Wala siyang katulad sa daigdig. Mabuti siyang tao, sumasamba sa akin, at umiiwas sa masamang gawain,” dugtong pa ni Yahweh.
9 Sumagot(B) si Satanas,[e] “Sasambahin pa kaya kayo ni Job kung wala na siyang nakukuha mula sa inyo? 10 Inaalagaan ninyo siya, ang kanyang pamilya at ang lahat ng ari-arian niya. Pinagpapala ninyo ang lahat ng kanyang gawin, at halos punuin ninyo ng kanyang kayamanan ang buong lupain. 11 Subukan ninyong alisin ang lahat-lahat sa buhay niya at harap-harapan niya kayong susumpain.”
12 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Satanas,[f] “Kung gayon, gawin mo nang lahat ang gusto mong gawin sa kanya, huwag mo lamang siyang sasaktan.” At umalis si Satanas sa harapan ni Yahweh.
Nalipol ang mga Anak ni Job at Naubos ang Kanyang Kayamanan
13 Isang araw, nagkakainan at nag-iinuman ang mga anak ni Job sa bahay ng kanilang panganay na kapatid na lalaki. 14 Walang anu-ano'y dumating kay Job ang isa niyang tauhan. Sinabi nito, “Kasalukuyan po naming pinang-aararo ang mga baka at nanginginain naman ang mga asno, 15 nang may dumating na mga Sabeo.[g] Kinuha po nila ang mga baka at mga asno at pinatay pa po ang aking mga kasama. Ako lang po ang nakatakas upang magbalita sa inyo.”
16 Hindi pa ito nakakatapos sa pagbabalita nang may dumating na namang isa. Sinabi naman nito kay Job, “Tinamaan po ng kidlat ang mga tupa at mga pastol at namatay lahat; ako lang po ang nakaligtas upang magbalita sa inyo.”
17 Hindi pa ito halos tapos magsalita nang may isa na namang dumating. Ang sabi nito, “Sinalakay po kami ng tatlong pangkat ng mga Caldeo.[h] Kinuha nila ang lahat ng kamelyo at pinatay ang aking mga kasama. Ako lang po ang nakatakas upang magbalita sa inyo.”
18 Hindi pa rin ito halos tapos magsalita nang may dumating na namang isa at nagsabi, “Habang ang mga anak po ninyo ay nagkakainan at nag-iinuman sa bahay ng panganay nilang kapatid, 19 hinampas po ng napakalakas na hangin ang bahay at bumagsak. Nabagsakan po sila at namatay lahat. Ako lang po ang natirang buháy upang magbalita sa inyo.”
20 Tumayo si Job, pinunit ang kanyang damit at nag-ahit ng ulo. Pagkatapos, nagpatirapa siya at sumamba sa Diyos. 21 Ang(C) sabi niya, “Hubad akong lumabas sa sinapupunan ng aking ina, hubad din akong babalik sa lupa. Si Yahweh ang nagbigay, si Yahweh rin ang babawi. Purihin si Yahweh!”
22 Sa kabila ng mga pangyayaring ito, hindi niya sinisi ang Diyos, kaya't hindi siya nagkasala laban sa kanya.

Job 1
King James Version
1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
4 And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.
7 And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
8 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
9 Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
12 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.
13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
14 And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
15 And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
