Ang Ikaduhang Pagsulay kang Job

Usa ka adlaw, nagtigom na usab ang mga anghel[a] sa presensya sa Ginoo, ug nagauban gihapon kanila si Satanas. Miingon ang Ginoo kang Satanas, “Asa ka gikan?” Mitubag si Satanas sa Ginoo, “Naglibot-libot ako sa kalibotan.” Miingon ang Ginoo kaniya, “Nakamatikod ka ba sa akong alagad nga si Job? Walay sama kaniya sa kalibotan. Matarong siya ug walay ikasaway sa iyang kinabuhi. Nagatahod siya kanako ug nagalikay sa paghimo ug daotan. Ug nagpabilin gihapon siyang matinumanon kanako bisag gidani mo ako sa paglaglag kaniya sa walay hinungdan.” Mitubag si Satanas, “Dawaton sa tawo nga mawala ang tanan kaniya basta buhi lang siya. Apan siya gani mismo ang sakita ug sigurado gayod nga tunglohon ka niya.” Miingon ang Ginoo kang Satanas, “Sige, buhata ang gusto mong buhaton kaniya, apan ayaw lang siyag patya.” Busa mibiya si Satanas sa presensya sa Ginoo ug gisakit niya si Job pinaagi sa mga hubag-hubag nga nanubo diha sa iyang lapalapa hangtod sa iyang ulo. Nagkuha si Job ug buak nga kolon ug gikagis sa iyang mga hubag-hubag samtang naglingkod siya sa abo. Giingnan siya sa iyang asawa, “Magpabilin ka pa ba gihapon nga matinumanon diha sa Dios? Tungloha siya aron mamatay ka na!”

10 Mitubag si Job, “Walay pulos ang imong gipanulti. Ang maayo lang ba diay ang atong dawaton gikan sa Dios, ug dili ang daotan?”

Bisan sa nahitabo kaniya, wala makasala si Job pinaagi sa pagsultig daotan.

Ang Tulo ka Higala ni Job

11 Adunay tulo ka higala si Job nga sila si Elifaz nga taga-Teman, si Bildad nga taga-Shua, ug si Zofar nga taga-Naama. Sa dihang nabalitaan nila ang kalisdanan nga midangat kang Job, nagkasabot sila nga adtoan siya aron duyogan sa iyang kasubo ug lipayon. 12 Layo pa sila, nakita na nila si Job, ug halos wala nila kini mailhi. Nanghilak sila ug kusog ug gigisi nila ang ilang mga bisti ug gibutangan ug abog ang ilang mga ulo sa pagpakita sa ilang pagsubo. 13 Unya nanglingkod sila sa yuta uban kang Job sulod sa pito ka adlaw ug pito ka gabii. Wala gayod kanilay nakigsulti kaniya tungod kay nakita nila kon unsa kadako ang iyang pag-antos.

Satan Attacks Job's Health

Again (A)there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them to present himself before the Lord. And the Lord said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.” And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil? He still (B)holds fast his integrity, although you incited me against him to destroy him (C)without reason.” Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! All that a man has he will give for his life. But (D)stretch out your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will (E)curse you to your face.” And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand; only spare his life.”

So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord and struck Job with loathsome (F)sores from (G)the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. And he took (H)a piece of broken pottery with which to scrape himself while he sat in (I)the ashes.

Then his wife said to him, “Do you still (J)hold fast your integrity? (K)Curse God and die.” 10 But he said to her, “You speak as one of the (L)foolish women would speak. (M)Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?”[a] (N)In all this Job did not (O)sin with his lips.

Job's Three Friends

11 Now when Job's three (P)friends heard of all this evil that had come upon him, they came each from his own place, Eliphaz (Q)the Temanite, Bildad (R)the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They made an appointment together to come to (S)show him sympathy and comfort him. 12 And when they saw him from a distance, they did not recognize him. And they raised their voices and wept, and they (T)tore their robes and sprinkled (U)dust on their heads toward heaven. 13 And they sat with him on the ground (V)seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his suffering was very great.

  1. Job 2:10 Or disaster; also verse 11

Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord.

And the Lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

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? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.

And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.

But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.

And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.

So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.

And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.

Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.

10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.

11 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.

12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.

13 So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.

On another day the angels[a](A) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them(B) to present himself before him. And the Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”

Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”(C)

Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.(D) And he still maintains his integrity,(E) though you incited me against him to ruin him without any reason.”(F)

“Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give all he has(G) for his own life. But now stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and bones,(H) and he will surely curse you to your face.”(I)

The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, he is in your hands;(J) but you must spare his life.”(K)

So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord and afflicted Job with painful sores from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head.(L) Then Job took a piece of broken pottery and scraped himself with it as he sat among the ashes.(M)

His wife said to him, “Are you still maintaining your integrity?(N) Curse God and die!”(O)

10 He replied, “You are talking like a foolish[b] woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?”(P)

In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.(Q)

11 When Job’s three friends, Eliphaz the Temanite,(R) Bildad the Shuhite(S) and Zophar the Naamathite,(T) heard about all the troubles that had come upon him, they set out from their homes and met together by agreement to go and sympathize with him and comfort him.(U) 12 When they saw him from a distance, they could hardly recognize him;(V) they began to weep aloud,(W) and they tore their robes(X) and sprinkled dust on their heads.(Y) 13 Then they sat on the ground(Z) with him for seven days and seven nights.(AA) No one said a word to him,(AB) because they saw how great his suffering was.

(B)Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.”

So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. (F)But stretch out Your hand now, and touch his (G)bone and his flesh, and he will surely [b]curse You to Your face!”

(H)And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life.”

So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord, and struck Job with painful boils (I)from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. And he took for himself a potsherd with which to scrape himself (J)while he sat in the midst of the ashes.

Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? [c]Curse God and die!”

10 But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. (K)Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” (L)In all this Job did not (M)sin with his lips.

Job’s Three Friends

11 Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, each one came from his own place—Eliphaz the (N)Temanite, Bildad the (O)Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment together to come (P)and mourn with him, and to comfort him. 12 And when they raised their eyes from afar, and did not recognize him, they lifted their voices and wept; and each one tore his robe and (Q)sprinkled dust on his head toward heaven. 13 So they sat down with him on the ground (R)seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.
