Job 23
Ang Pulong Sang Dios
Naghambal si Job
23 Dayon nagsiling si Job, 2 “Hasta subong puwerte gid ang akon reklamo. Ginapaantos pa gid ako sang Dios sa pihak sang akon pag-ugayong.[a] 3 Kon nahibaluan ko lang kon diin ko siya pangitaon; kon makakadto lang ako sa iya ginaestaran, 4 ihambal ko gid sa iya ang akon kaso kag ipresentar ko ang akon mga rason. 5 Gusto ko mahibaluan kon ano ang isabat niya sa akon, kag gusto ko intiendihon ang isiling niya. 6 Baison ayhan niya ako paagi sa iya gahom? Siyempre indi! Pamatian niya ang akon ihambal. 7 Ang matarong nga tawo nga pareho sa akon makarason sa atubangan sang Dios nga akon Manughukom, kag hilwayon niya ako hasta san-o.
8-9 “Ginpangita ko ang Dios sa palibot—sa sidlangan, nakatundan, aminhan, kag bagatnan—pero wala ko siya makita. 10 Pero nahibaluan niya ang akon ginahimo. Sa tapos nga matilawan niya ako, masapwan niya nga matinlo ako pareho sa puro nga bulawan. 11 Ginsunod ko ang iya mga pamaagi, kag wala gid ako naglikaw sa sini. 12 Ginatuman ko permi ang iya sugo, kag ginatipigan ko ini sa akon tagipusuon.[b] 13 Pero pagusto ang Dios sa iya ginahimo; wala sing may makabalabag sa iya. Ginahimo niya ang iya naluyagan. 14 Gani himuon niya ang iya ginplano nga himuon sa akon, kag madamo ang iya plano sa akon. 15 Amo gani nga nahadlok ako sa iya. Kon hunahunaon ko ini, puwerte ang akon kahadlok. 16 Ginpaluya kag ginpahadlok ako sang Dios nga Makagagahom. 17 Pero wala ako nag-untat sa pagreklamo bisan daw sa natabunan ako sang puwerte nga kadulom.
Job 23
New King James Version
Job Proclaims God’s Righteous Judgments
23 Then Job answered and said:
2 “Even today my (A)complaint is bitter;
[a]My hand is listless because of my groaning.
3 (B)Oh, that I knew where I might find Him,
That I might come to His seat!
4 I would present my case before Him,
And fill my mouth with arguments.
5 I would know the words which He would answer me,
And understand what He would say to me.
6 (C)Would He contend with me in His great power?
No! But He would take note of me.
7 There the upright could reason with Him,
And I would be delivered forever from my Judge.
8 “Look,(D) I go forward, but He is not there,
And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
9 When He works on the left hand, I cannot behold Him;
When He turns to the right hand, I cannot see Him.
10 But (E)He knows the way that I take;
When (F)He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.
11 (G)My foot has held fast to His steps;
I have kept His way and not turned aside.
12 I have not departed from the (H)commandment of His lips;
(I)I have treasured the words of His mouth
More than my [b]necessary food.
13 “But He is unique, and who can make Him change?
And whatever (J)His soul desires, that He does.
14 For He performs what is (K)appointed for me,
And many such things are with Him.
15 Therefore I am terrified at His presence;
When I consider this, I am afraid of Him.
16 For God (L)made my heart weak,
And the Almighty terrifies me;
17 Because I was not (M)cut off [c]from the presence of darkness,
And He did not hide deep darkness from my face.
