Job 4
Magandang Balita Biblia
Ang Unang Sagutan(A)
4 Sinabi ni Elifaz na Temaneo,
2 “Huwag mo sanang ikasamâ ng loob ang aking sasabihin,
di ko na kayang manahimik, di na ako makapagpigil.
3 Marami na ring tao ang iyong naturuan,
at mahihinang kamay ay iyong natulungan.
4 Salita mo'y nagpalakas sa nanlulupaypay,
sa mahina't pagod pangaral mo'y umalalay.
5 Ngayong ikaw na ang dumaranas ng matinding kahirapan,
nawawalan ka ng pag-asa at parang nais mong mabuwal?
6 Di ba't may takot ka sa Diyos at masunurin sa kanya?
Kaya dapat magtiwala ka at magkaroon ng pag-asa.
7 “Isipin mong mabuti: mayroon bang walang sala na napahamak ang buhay,
mayroon bang mabuting tao na dumanas ng kasawian?
8 Ang alam ko'y ang mga naghahasik ng kasamaan
ay sila ring nag-aani ng kaguluhan.
9 Kaya naman ang Diyos sa tindi ng galit sa kanila, parang dinaanan ng bagyo sila'y pinupuksa niya.
10 Mga masasamang tao'y parang leong umuungal,
ngunit pinatatahimik sila ng Diyos, ngipin nila'y tinatanggal.
11 Para silang leong walang mabiktima, namamatay sa gutom,
at nagkakawatak-watak ang mga anak nila.
12 “Minsan, ako ay may narinig,
salitang ibinulong sa aking pandinig.
13 Sa(B) lalim ng hatinggabi parang ako'y nanaginip kung kailan ang tao'y mahimbing na naiidlip.
14 Ako'y sinakmal ng matinding takot,
ako'y kinilabutan at nangatog ang tuhod.
15 Malamig na hangin, dumampi sa mukha ko,
sa takot ay nagtayuan ang aking balahibo.
16 May nakita akong doon ay nakatayo,
ngunit di ko mapagwari ang kanyang anyo.
Maya-maya, narinig ko ang isang tinig:
17 ‘Maaari bang maging matuwid ang isang tao sa paningin ng Diyos?
Sa harap ng Lumikha, mayroon bang malinis ang loob?
18 Mga lingkod niya sa langit di niya pinagkakatiwalaan,
sa kanya mismong mga anghel may nakikita siyang kamalian.
19 Paano pa siya magtitiwala sa taong mula sa alabok?
Tulad ng gamu-gamo, ito ay marupok.
20 Ang tao'y buháy ngayon, ngunit hindi tiyak kung mamaya;
siya pala ay patay na, di pa alam nitong madla.
21 Ang lahat niyang taglay sa kanya'y mawawala,
sa kanyang pagkamatay kulang pa rin sa unawa.’
Job 4
Names of God Bible
Eliphaz Speaks: Be Patient and Listen, Job
4 Then Eliphaz from Teman replied to Job,
2 “If someone tries to talk to you, will you become impatient?
But who can keep from talking?
3 Certainly, you have instructed many people:
When hands were weak, you made them strong.
4 When someone stumbled, you lifted him up with your words.
When knees were weak, you gave them strength.
5 But trouble comes to you, and you’re impatient.
It touches you, and you panic.
6 Doesn’t your fear of Elohim give you confidence
and your lifetime of integrity give you hope?
Only Evil People Suffer
7 “Now think about this:
Which innocent person ever died an untimely death?
Find me a decent person who has been destroyed.
8 Whenever I saw those who plowed wickedness and planted misery,
they gathered its harvest.
9 Eloah destroys them with his breath
and kills them with a blast of his anger.
10 Though the roar of the lion
and the growl of the ferocious lion is loud,
the young lions have had their teeth knocked out.
11 The old lions die without any prey to eat,
and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.
12 “I was told something secretly
and heard something whispered in my ear.
13 With disturbing thoughts from visions in the night,
when deep sleep falls on people,
14 fear and trembling came over me,
and all my bones shook.
15 A spirit passed in front of me.
It made my hair stand on end.
16 Something stood there.
I couldn’t tell what it was.
A vague image was in front of my eyes.
I heard a soft voice:
17 ‘Can any mortal be righteous to Eloah?
Can any human being be pure to his maker?’
18 “You see, Eloah doesn’t trust his own servants,
and he accuses his angels of making mistakes.
19 How much more will he accuse those who live in clay houses
that have their foundation in the dust.
Those houses can be crushed quicker than a moth!
20 From morning to evening, they are shattered.
They will disappear forever without anyone paying attention.
21 Haven’t the ropes of their tent been loosened?
Won’t they die without wisdom?
