Job 6
Young's Literal Translation
6 And Job answereth and saith: --
2 O that my provocation were thoroughly weighed, And my calamity in balances They would lift up together!
3 For now, than the sands of the sea it is heavier, Therefore my words have been rash.
4 For arrows of the Mighty [are] with me, Whose poison is drinking up my spirit. Terrors of God array themselves [for] me!
5 Brayeth a wild ass over tender grass? Loweth an ox over his provender?
6 Eaten is an insipid thing without salt? Is there sense in the drivel of dreams?
7 My soul is refusing to touch! They [are] as my sickening food.
8 O that my request may come, That God may grant my hope!
9 That God would please -- and bruise me, Loose His hand and cut me off!
10 And yet it is my comfort, (And I exult in pain -- He doth not spare,) That I have not hidden The sayings of the Holy One.
11 What [is] my power that I should hope? And what mine end That I should prolong my life?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones? Is my flesh brazen?
13 Is not my help with me, And substance driven from me?
14 To a despiser of his friends [is] shame, And the fear of the Mighty he forsaketh.
15 My brethren have deceived as a brook, As a stream of brooks they pass away.
16 That are black because of ice, By them doth snow hide itself.
17 By the time they are warm they have been cut off, By its being hot they have been Extinguished from their place.
18 Turn aside do the paths of their way, They ascend into emptiness, and are lost.
19 Passengers of Tema looked expectingly, Travellers of Sheba hoped for them.
20 They were ashamed that one hath trusted, They have come unto it and are confounded.
21 Surely now ye have become the same! Ye see a downfall, and are afraid.
22 Is it because I said, Give to me? And, By your power bribe for me?
23 And, Deliver me from the hand of an adversary? And, From the hand of terrible ones ransom me?
24 Shew me, and I -- I keep silent, And what I have erred, let me understand.
25 How powerful have been upright sayings, And what doth reproof from you reprove?
26 For reproof -- do you reckon words? And for wind -- sayings of the desperate.
27 Anger on the fatherless ye cause to fall, And are strange to your friend.
28 And, now, please, look upon me, Even to your face do I lie?
29 Turn back, I pray you, let it not be perverseness, Yea, turn back again -- my righteousness [is] in it.
30 Is there in my tongue perverseness? Discerneth not my palate desirable things?

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
King James Version
6 But Job answered and said,
2 Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!
3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
5 Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?
6 Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
7 The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.
8 Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
9 Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
10 Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
11 What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
13 Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
14 To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;
16 Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:
17 What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
18 The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
19 The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
20 They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.
21 For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.
22 Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?
23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
25 How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?
26 Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?
27 Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.
28 Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.
29 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.
30 Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?
