Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Inilarawan ni Zofar ang Bahagi ng Masama
20 Sinabi ni Zofar na Naamita,
2 “Ang iyong mga sinabi ay hindi ko na nagugustuhan
kaya hindi ko na mapigilan ang pagsali sa usapan.
3 Ang iyong mga sinabi ay puro panlalait,
kaya't tugon ko ngayo'y aking ipababatid.
4 “Hindi mo ba nalalaman na buhat pa sa simula,
nang ang tao ay ilagay sa ibabaw ng lupa,
5 ang pagmamataas ng masama ay di nagtatagal,
6 umabot man sa langit ang kanyang katanyagan,
at ang kanyang ulo, sa ulap ay umabot man.
7 Ngunit tulad ng alabok, ganap siyang mapaparam;
ang hantungan niya'y hindi alam ng sinuman.
8 Siya'y(A) parang panaginip na mawawala, parang pangitain sa gabi,
di na muling makikita.
9 Di na siya muli pang makikita ng mga dating kaibigan at kapamilya.
10 Makikisama sa mahihirap ang kanyang mga anak;
kayamanang kinamkam, mapapabalik lahat.
11 Ang lakas ng kabataan na dati niyang taglay,
kasama niyang mahihimlay sa alabok na hantungan.
12 “Ang lasa ng kasamaan para sa kanya ay matamis,
ninanamnam pa sa dila, samantalang nasa bibig.
13 Itong kanyang kasamaan ay hindi niya maiwan;
kahit gusto man niyang iluwa ay di niya magagawa.
14 Ngunit nang ito'y lunukin, dumaan sa lalamunan,
ubod pala ng pait, lason sa katawan.
15 Kayamanang kinamkam niya, kanya ngayong isusuka;
palalabasin nga ng Diyos mula sa kanyang bituka.
16 Ang nilulunok ng taong masama ay tulad ng kamandag,
parang tuklaw ng isang ahas na sa kanya ay papatay.
17 Ang mga ilog at batis na siyang dinadaluyan
ng pulot at gatas ay di na niya mamamasdan.
18 Di rin niya papakinabangan lahat ng pinaghirapan;
di niya malalasap ang naipong kayamanan,
19 sapagkat ang mahihirap ay inapi niya,
kinamkam ang mga bahay na itinayo ng iba.
20 “Kanyang pagkagahaman ay walang katapusan,
walang nakakaligtas sa kanyang kasakiman.
21 Kapag siya'y kumakain, wala siyang itinitira,
ngunit ang kasaganaan niya ngayo'y magwawakas na.
22 Sa kanyang kasaganaan, daranas ng kagipitan
at siya'y daratnan ng patung-patong na kahirapan.
23 Kumain na siya't magpakabusog!
Matinding galit ng Diyos sa kanya'y ibubuhos.
24 Makaligtas(B) man siya sa tabak na bakal,
palasong tanso naman ang sa kanya'y magbubuwal.
25 Kapag ito'y itinudla sa apdo niya ay tutusok;
kung makita niya ito,
manginginig siya sa takot.
26 Matinding kadiliman ang sa kanya'y naghihintay;
masusunog siya sa apoy na hindi namamatay.
Wala ring matitira sa kanyang pamilya.
27 Ipahahayag ng langit ang kasamaan ng taong ito,
laban sa kanya, ang lupa'y magpapatotoo.
28 Ang lahat ng kayamanan niya ay sisirain,
sa galit ng Diyos ito ay tatangayin.
29 “Ganito ang sasapitin ng lahat ng masasama,
kapasyahan ng Diyos, sa kanila'y itinakda.”

Zophar
20 Then Zophar the Naamathite(A) replied:
2 “My troubled thoughts prompt me to answer
because I am greatly disturbed.(B)
3 I hear a rebuke(C) that dishonors me,
and my understanding inspires me to reply.
4 “Surely you know how it has been from of old,(D)
ever since mankind[a] was placed on the earth,
5 that the mirth of the wicked(E) is brief,
the joy of the godless(F) lasts but a moment.(G)
6 Though the pride(H) of the godless person reaches to the heavens(I)
and his head touches the clouds,(J)
7 he will perish forever,(K) like his own dung;
those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’(L)
8 Like a dream(M) he flies away,(N) no more to be found,
banished(O) like a vision of the night.(P)
9 The eye that saw him will not see him again;
his place will look on him no more.(Q)
10 His children(R) must make amends to the poor;
his own hands must give back his wealth.(S)
11 The youthful vigor(T) that fills his bones(U)
will lie with him in the dust.(V)
12 “Though evil(W) is sweet in his mouth
and he hides it under his tongue,(X)
13 though he cannot bear to let it go
and lets it linger in his mouth,(Y)
14 yet his food will turn sour in his stomach;(Z)
it will become the venom of serpents(AA) within him.
15 He will spit out the riches(AB) he swallowed;
God will make his stomach vomit(AC) them up.
16 He will suck the poison(AD) of serpents;
the fangs of an adder will kill him.(AE)
17 He will not enjoy the streams,
the rivers(AF) flowing with honey(AG) and cream.(AH)
18 What he toiled for he must give back uneaten;(AI)
he will not enjoy the profit from his trading.(AJ)
19 For he has oppressed the poor(AK) and left them destitute;(AL)
he has seized houses(AM) he did not build.
20 “Surely he will have no respite from his craving;(AN)
he cannot save himself by his treasure.(AO)
21 Nothing is left for him to devour;
his prosperity will not endure.(AP)
22 In the midst of his plenty, distress will overtake him;(AQ)
the full force of misery will come upon him.(AR)
23 When he has filled his belly,(AS)
God will vent his burning anger(AT) against him
and rain down his blows on him.(AU)
24 Though he flees(AV) from an iron weapon,
a bronze-tipped arrow pierces him.(AW)
25 He pulls it out of his back,
the gleaming point out of his liver.
Terrors(AX) will come over him;(AY)
26 total darkness(AZ) lies in wait for his treasures.
A fire(BA) unfanned will consume him(BB)
and devour what is left in his tent.(BC)
27 The heavens will expose his guilt;
the earth will rise up against him.(BD)
28 A flood will carry off his house,(BE)
rushing waters[b] on the day of God’s wrath.(BF)
29 Such is the fate God allots the wicked,
the heritage appointed for them by God.”(BG)
