Job 27
Magandang Balita Biblia
Ipinaliwanag ni Job ang Bahagi ng Masama
27 Muling tumugon si Job,
2 “Isinusumpa ko sa Diyos na sa aki'y nagkait ng katarungan,
sa Makapangyarihang Diyos na nagdulot sa akin ng kapaitan.
3-4 Habang mayroon akong hininga na Diyos ang nagbibigay,
ang labi ko'y walang bibigkasing kasinungalingan,
ang aking sasabihin ay pawang katotohanan.
5 Hindi ko matatanggap na kayo ang may katuwiran,
igigiit hanggang kamatayan na ako'y walang kasalanan.
6 Hindi ko isusuko ang aking katuwiran,
budhi ko'y malinis, di ako sinusumbatan.
7 “Parusahan nawa ang lahat ng sa aki'y lumalapastangan;
ituring nawa silang lahat na makasalanan.
8 Ang makasalana'y mayroon pa bang pag-asa,
kapag binawi na ng Diyos ang buhay na taglay niya?
9 Pagsapit ng kaguluhan, papakinggan kaya ng Diyos ang kanyang panawagan?
10 Ito kaya ay mananalig sa Makapangyarihan
at sa lahat ng araw, Diyos ay tatawagan.
11 “Ang kalooban ng Diyos, sa inyo'y sasabihin
at aking ihahayag ang nais niyang gawin.
12 Ang lahat ng ito'y inyo namang nalalaman,
subalit ang salita ninyo'y pawang walang kabuluhan.”
13 Ang sagot ni Zofar:
“Sa masama ay ganito ang inihanda ng Diyos,
sa mararahas ay ito ang parusang ibubuhos:
14 Magkakaanak sila ng marami
ngunit mamamatay sa digmaan,
ang kanilang mga anak, gutom ang mararanasan.
15 Ang matitirang buháy, sa salot mamamatay,
ngunit kanilang mga biyuda, hindi sila tatangisan.
16 Kahit siya'y makaipon ng malaking kayamanan
o kaya'y magkaroon ng maraming kasuotan,
17 isa man sa mga iyon ay di niya papakinabangan,
mapupunta sa matuwid ang lahat niyang kayamanan.
18 Sapot lamang ng gagamba[a] ang katulad ng kanyang bahay,
parang kubo lamang ng mga aliping bantay.
19 Matutulog ang mayaman ngunit hanggang doon na lang;
pagmulat ng kanyang mata, ari-arian niya ay wala na.
20 Mga kasawian ay parang bahang darating,
tatangayin ng ipu-ipo pagsapit ng dilim.
21 Matinding hanging silangan, sa kanya ay tatangay, tuluyan siyang mawawala at di na makikita.
22 Patuloy siyang babayuhin nang walang pakundangan,
ang kapangyarihan nito'y sisikapin niyang matakasan.
23 Sa bandang huli, hangin ay magagalak
pagkat itong masama, tuluyan ng bumagsak.

Job 27
New King James Version
Job Maintains His Integrity
27 Moreover Job continued his discourse, and said:
2 “As God lives, (A)who has taken away my justice,
And the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,
3 As long as my breath is in me,
And the breath of God in my nostrils,
4 My lips will not speak wickedness,
Nor my tongue utter deceit.
5 Far be it from me
That I should say you are right;
Till I die (B)I will not put away my integrity from me.
6 My righteousness I (C)hold fast, and will not let it go;
(D)My heart shall not [a]reproach me as long as I live.
7 “May my enemy be like the wicked,
And he who rises up against me like the unrighteous.
8 (E)For what is the hope of the hypocrite,
Though he may gain much,
If God takes away his life?
9 (F)Will God hear his cry
When trouble comes upon him?
10 (G)Will he delight himself in the Almighty?
Will he always call on God?
11 “I will teach you [b]about the hand of God;
What is with the Almighty I will not conceal.
12 Surely all of you have seen it;
Why then do you behave with complete nonsense?
13 “This(H) is the portion of a wicked man with God,
And the heritage of oppressors, received from the Almighty:
14 (I)If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword;
And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
15 Those who survive him shall be buried in death,
And (J)their[c] widows shall not weep,
16 Though he heaps up silver like dust,
And piles up clothing like clay—
17 He may pile it up, but (K)the just will wear it,
And the innocent will divide the silver.
18 He builds his house like a [d]moth,
(L)Like a [e]booth which a watchman makes.
19 The rich man will lie down,
[f]But not be gathered up;
He opens his eyes,
And he is (M)no more.
20 (N)Terrors overtake him like a flood;
A tempest steals him away in the night.
21 The east wind carries him away, and he is gone;
It sweeps him out of his place.
22 It hurls against him and does not (O)spare;
He flees desperately from its [g]power.
23 Men shall clap their hands at him,
And shall hiss him out of his place.
