Job 6
Magandang Balita Biblia
Sinisi ni Job ang mga Kaibigan
6 Ang sagot ni Job:
2 “Ang suliranin ko't paghihirap, kung titimbanging lahat,
3 magiging mabigat pa kaysa buhangin sa dagat;
kaya mabibigat kong salita'y huwag ninyong ikagulat.
4 Ako'y pinana ng Diyos na Makapangyarihan,
lason ng palaso'y kumalat sa aking katawan,
galit ng Diyos, sa akin ay inihanay.
5 Walang angal ang asno kung sa damo ay sagana,
at ang baka ay tahimik kung may dayaming nginunguya.
6 Ang pagkaing walang asin, may sarap bang idudulot?
Mayroon bang lasa ang puti ng itlog?
7 Sa lahat ng iyan ay nawala ang aking gana,
sapagkat kung kainin ko man, pilit na ring isusuka.
8 “Ibigay sana ng Diyos ang aking hinihiling,
sana'y ipagkaloob niya ang aking hangarin.
9 Higit ko pang nanaisin at aking ikagagalak ang buhay na taglay ko ay bigyan na niya ng wakas.
10 Kapag nangyari ito, ako'y liligaya,
sa gitna ng pagdurusa, lulundag sa saya.
Alam kong banal ang Diyos,
kaya di ko sinusuway, kanyang mga utos.
11 Ang lakas ko ay ubos na, di na ako makatagal,
kung wala rin lang pag-asa ay bakit pa mabubuhay?
12 Ako nama'y hindi bato, at hindi tanso ang katawan ko.
13 Ako'y wala nang lakas upang iligtas ang sarili ko,
wala na akong matakbuhan upang hingan ng saklolo.
14 “Sa magulong kalagayan, kailangan ko'y kaibigan,
tumalikod man ako o hindi sa Diyos na Makapangyarihan.
15 Ngunit kayong mga kaibigan ko'y di ko maaasahan,
para kayong sapang natutuyo kapag walang ulan.
16-17 Kung taglamig, ang ilog ay pawang yelo,
pagsapit ng tag-araw, nawawalang lahat ito;
ang ilog ay natutuyo, walang laman kahit ano.
18 Sa paghahanap ng tubig, naliligaw ang mga manlalakbay,
at sa gitna ng disyerto ay doon na namamatay.
19 Naghanap ang manlalakbay na taga-Tema at ang taga-Seba,
20 ngunit pag-asa nila'y nawala sa tabi ng tuyong sapa.
21 Para kayong mga batis na ang tubig ay natuyo;
kaya kayo ay nabigla nang makita n'yo ang aking anyo.
22 Sa inyo ba kahit minsan ako ay nagpatulong?
Kailan ba ako humingi sa inyo ng pansuhol?
23 Ako ba kahit minsa'y napasaklolo sa inyo?
Hiniling ko bang sa kaaway ay tubusin ninyo ako?
24 “Pagkakamali ko'y sabihin at ako'y turuan,
ako'y tatahimik upang kayo'y pakinggan.
25 Mga salitang tapat, kay gandang pakinggan,
ngunit mga sinasabi ninyo'y walang katuturan.
26 Kung ang sinasabi ko ay walang kabuluhan,
bakit ninyo sinasagot itong aking karaingan?
27 Kahit sa mga ulila kayo'y magpupustahan,
pati kaibigan ninyo'y inyong pagsusugalan.
28 Tingnan ninyo ako nang harapan, hindi ko kayo pagsisinungalingan,
29 Lumalabis na ang mali ninyong paratang,
tigilan n'yo na iyan pagkat ako'y nasa katuwiran.
30 Akala ninyo ang sinasabi ko'y hindi tama,
at hindi ko nakikilala ang mabuti sa masama.
Job 6
English Standard Version
Job Replies: My Complaint Is Just
6 Then Job answered and said:
2 “Oh that my vexation were weighed,
and all my calamity laid in the balances!
3 For then it would be heavier than (A)the sand of the sea;
therefore my words have been rash.
4 For (B)the arrows of the Almighty are in me;
my spirit drinks their poison;
the terrors of God are arrayed against me.
5 Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass,
or the ox low over his fodder?
6 Can that which is tasteless be eaten without salt,
or is there any taste in the juice of the mallow?[a]
7 My appetite refuses to touch them;
they are as food that is loathsome to me.[b]
8 “Oh that I might have my request,
and that God would fulfill my hope,
9 that it would (C)please God to crush me,
that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!
10 This would be my comfort;
I would even exult[c] in pain (D)unsparing,
for I have not denied the words of (E)the Holy One.
11 What is my strength, that I should wait?
And what is my end, that I should be patient?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh bronze?
13 Have I any help in me,
when resource is driven from me?
14 “He who (F)withholds[d] kindness from a (G)friend
forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15 My (H)brothers are (I)treacherous as a torrent-bed,
as torrential (J)streams that pass away,
16 which are dark with ice,
and where the snow hides itself.
17 When they melt, they disappear;
when it is hot, they vanish from their place.
18 The caravans turn aside from their course;
they go up into (K)the waste and perish.
19 The caravans of (L)Tema look,
the travelers of (M)Sheba hope.
20 They are (N)ashamed because they were confident;
they come there and are (O)disappointed.
21 For you have now become nothing;
you see my calamity and are afraid.
22 Have I said, ‘Make me a gift’?
Or, ‘From your wealth offer a bribe for me’?
23 Or, ‘Deliver me from the adversary's hand’?
Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of (P)the ruthless’?
24 “Teach me, and I will be silent;
make me understand how I have gone astray.
25 How forceful are upright words!
But what does reproof from you reprove?
26 Do you think that you can reprove words,
when the speech of a despairing man is (Q)wind?
27 You would even (R)cast lots over the fatherless,
and bargain over your friend.
28 “But now, be pleased to look at me,
for I will not lie to your face.
29 (S)Please turn; let no injustice be done.
Turn now; my vindication is at stake.
30 Is there any injustice on my tongue?
Cannot my palate discern the cause of calamity?
Job 6
New King James Version
Job: My Complaint Is Just
6 Then Job answered and said:
2 “Oh, that my grief were fully weighed,
And my calamity laid with it on the scales!
3 For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea—
Therefore my words have been rash.
4 (A)For the arrows of the Almighty are within me;
My spirit drinks in their poison;
(B)The terrors of God are arrayed (C)against me.
5 Does the (D)wild donkey bray when it has grass,
Or does the ox low over its fodder?
6 Can flavorless food be eaten without salt?
Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
7 My soul refuses to touch them;
They are as loathsome food to me.
8 “Oh, that I might have my request,
That God would grant me the thing that I long for!
9 That it would please God to crush me,
That He would loose His hand and (E)cut me off!
10 Then I would still have comfort;
Though in anguish I would exult,
He will not spare;
For (F)I have not concealed the words of (G)the Holy One.
11 “What strength do I have, that I should hope?
And what is my end, that I should prolong my life?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones?
Or is my flesh bronze?
13 Is my help not within me?
And is success driven from me?
14 “To(H) him who is [a]afflicted, kindness should be shown by his friend,
Even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15 (I)My brothers have dealt deceitfully like a brook,
(J)Like the streams of the brooks that pass away,
16 Which are dark because of the ice,
And into which the snow vanishes.
17 When it is warm, they cease to flow;
When it is hot, they vanish from their place.
18 The paths of their way turn aside,
They go nowhere and perish.
19 The caravans of (K)Tema look,
The travelers of (L)Sheba hope for them.
20 They are (M)disappointed[b] because they were confident;
They come there and are confused.
21 For now (N)you are nothing,
You see terror and (O)are afraid.
22 Did I ever say, ‘Bring something to me’?
Or, ‘Offer a bribe for me from your wealth’?
23 Or, ‘Deliver me from the enemy’s hand’?
Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of oppressors’?
24 “Teach me, and I will hold my tongue;
Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
25 How forceful are right words!
But what does your arguing prove?
26 Do you intend to rebuke my words,
And the speeches of a desperate one, which are as wind?
27 Yes, you overwhelm the fatherless,
And you (P)undermine your friend.
28 Now therefore, be pleased to look at me;
For I would never lie to your face.
29 (Q)Yield now, let there be no injustice!
Yes, concede, my (R)righteousness [c]still stands!
30 Is there injustice on my tongue?
Cannot my [d]taste discern the unsavory?
