Job 14
Ang Biblia (1978)
Ipinakilala ni Job ang kahinaan ng tao. Siya'y nanalangin upang makubli siyang sumandali hanggang makaraan ang poot ng Panginoon.
14 Taong (A)ipinanganak ng babae ay sa kaunting araw, at lipos ng kabagabagan.
2 Siya'y umuusli na gaya (B)ng bulaklak, at (C)nalalagas:
Siya rin nama'y tumatakas na (D)gaya ng anino, at hindi namamalagi.
3 At iyo bang idinidilat ang iyong mga mata sa isang gaya nito, At ipinagsasama mo (E)ako upang hatulan mo?
4 (F)Sinong makakakuha ng malinis na bagay sa marumi? wala.
5 Yayamang ang kaniyang mga kaarawan ay nangapasiyahan,
Ang bilang ng kaniyang mga buwan ay talastas mo,
At iyong hinanggahan ang kaniyang mga hangganan upang huwag siyang makaraan;
6 (G)Ilayo mo sa kaniya ang iyong paningin, upang siya'y makapagpahinga,
Hanggang sa maganap niya, na (H)gaya ng isang magpapaupa, ang kaniyang araw.
7 Sapagka't may pagasa sa isang punong kahoy, na kung ito'y putulin, ay sisibol uli,
At ang sariwang sanga niyaon ay hindi maglilikat.
8 Bagaman ang kaniyang ugat ay tumanda sa lupa,
At ang puno niyao'y mamatay sa lupa;
9 Gayon ma'y sa pamamagitan ng amoy ng tubig ay sisibol,
At magsasanga na gaya ng pananim.
10 Nguni't ang tao ay namamatay at natutunaw;
Oo, ang tao ay nalalagutan ng hininga, at saan nandoon siya?
11 Kung paanong ang tubig ay lumalabas sa dagat,
At ang ilog ay humuhupa at natutuyo;
12 Gayon ang tao ay nabubuwal at hindi na bumabangon:
(I)Hanggang sa ang langit ay mawala, sila'y hindi magsisibangon,
Ni mangagigising man sa kanilang pagkakatulog.
13 Oh (J)ikubli mo nawa ako sa Sheol.
Na ingatan mo nawa akong lihim hanggang sa ang iyong poot ay makaraan,
Na takdaan mo nawa ako ng takdang panahon, at iyong alalahanin ako!
14 (K)Kung ang isang tao ay mamatay, mabubuhay pa ba siya?
Lahat ng araw ng aking pakikipagbaka ay maghihintay ako,
Hanggang sa dumating ang pagbabago.
15 (L)Ikaw ay tatawag, at ako'y sasagot sa iyo:
Ikaw ay magtataglay ng nasa sa (M)gawa ng iyong mga kamay.
16 (N)Nguni't ngayo'y binibilang mo ang aking mga hakbang:
Hindi mo ba pinapansin ang aking kasalanan?
17 Ang aking pagsalangsang ay natatatakan sa isang supot,
At iyong inilalapat ang aking kasamaan.
18 At tunay na ang bundok na natitibag, ay nawawala,
At ang bato ay napababago mula sa kinaroroonan niyaon;
19 Inuukit ng tubig ang mga bato;
Tinatangay ng mga baha niyaon ang alabok ng lupa:
Sa gayon iyong sinisira ang pagasa ng tao.
20 Ikaw ay nananaig kailan man laban sa kaniya at siya'y pumapanaw;
Iyong pinapagbabago ang kaniyang mukha, at iyong pinayayaon siya.
21 Ang kaniyang mga anak ay nagtataglay ng karangalan, (O)at hindi niya nalalaman;
At sila'y ibinababa, nguni't hindi niya nahahalata sila.
22 Nguni't ang kaniyang laman sa kaniya ay masakit,
At ang kaniyang kaluluwa sa loob niya ay namamanglaw.
Job 14
King James Version
14 Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.
2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
3 And doth thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
5 Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
6 Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.
7 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
9 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
10 But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
11 As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
12 So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
13 O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
15 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
16 For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.
18 And surely the mountains falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.
19 The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.
20 Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
21 His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
22 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
Job 14
New King James Version
Job Speaks of Life’s Woes
14 “Man who is born of woman
Is of few days and (A)full of [a]trouble.
2 (B)He comes forth like a flower and fades away;
He flees like a shadow and does not continue.
3 And (C)do You open Your eyes on such a one,
And (D)bring [b]me to judgment with Yourself?
4 Who (E)can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
No one!
5 (F)Since his days are determined,
The number of his months is with You;
You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass.
6 (G)Look away from him that he may [c]rest,
Till (H)like a hired man he finishes his day.
7 “For there is hope for a tree,
If it is cut down, that it will sprout again,
And that its tender shoots will not cease.
8 Though its root may grow old in the earth,
And its stump may die in the ground,
9 Yet at the scent of water it will bud
And bring forth branches like a plant.
10 But man dies and [d]is laid away;
Indeed he [e]breathes his last
And where is (I)he?
11 As water disappears from the sea,
And a river becomes parched and dries up,
12 So man lies down and does not rise.
(J)Till the heavens are no more,
They will not awake
Nor be roused from their sleep.
13 “Oh, that You would hide me in the grave,
That You would conceal me until Your wrath is past,
That You would appoint me a set time, and remember me!
14 If a man dies, shall he live again?
All the days of my hard service (K)I will wait,
Till my change comes.
15 (L)You shall call, and I will answer You;
You shall desire the work of Your hands.
16 For now (M)You number my steps,
But do not watch over my sin.
17 (N)My transgression is sealed up in a bag,
And You [f]cover my iniquity.
18 “But as a mountain falls and crumbles away,
And as a rock is moved from its place;
19 As water wears away stones,
And as torrents wash away the soil of the earth;
So You destroy the hope of man.
20 You prevail forever against him, and he passes on;
You change his countenance and send him away.
21 His sons come to honor, and (O)he does not know it;
They are brought low, and he does not perceive it.
22 But his flesh will be in pain over it,
And his soul will mourn over it.”
