Job
6 Si todas mis penas y desgracias
pudieran pesarse en una balanza,
3 pesarían más que la arena del mar.
Por eso he hablado con pasión.
4 El Todopoderoso ha clavado en mí sus flechas,
y el veneno de ellas me corre por el cuerpo.
Dios me ha llenado de terror con sus ataques.
5 ¿Acaso rebuzna el asno, si tiene hierba?
¿O brama el toro, si tiene pasto?
6 ¿Quién come sin sal una cosa desabrida?
¿Qué gusto tiene una cosa sin sabor?
7 Pues lo que jamás quise comer
es ahora mi alimento.
8 ¡Ojalá Dios me conceda lo que le pido;
ojalá me cumpla lo que deseo!
9 ¡Ojalá Dios se decida por fin
a aplastarme y acabar con mi vida!
10 A pesar de la violencia del dolor,
eso sería un gran consuelo para mí,
pues siempre he respetado las leyes del Dios santo.
11 Ya no me quedan fuerzas para resistir,
ni razón alguna para seguir viviendo.
12 No tengo la dureza de la roca,
ni la consistencia del bronce.
13 No puedo valerme por mí mismo,
ni cuento con ningún apoyo.
14 Al amigo que sufre se le ama,
aun cuando no haya sido fiel al Todopoderoso.
15 Pero ustedes, mis amigos, me han fallado,
como arroyos que se quedan secos.
16 El agua baja turbia,
revuelta con el hielo y la nieve;
17 pero pasa el deshielo y se secan los arroyos,
viene el calor y se acaba el agua.
18 Hacen que las caravanas se desvíen de su camino,
y que avancen por el desierto y mueran.
19 Las caravanas de Temá y de Sabá
buscan llenas de esperanza esos arroyos,
20 pero al llegar se ven decepcionadas,
queda frustrada su esperanza.
21 Así son ustedes para mí:
ven mi horrible situación, y sienten miedo.
22 Pero yo no les he pedido nada,
ni que den dinero por salvarme,
23 ni que me libren de un enemigo,
ni que me rescaten de las manos de los bandidos.
24 Denme lecciones, y guardaré silencio:
muéstrenme el error que he cometido.
25 Nadie puede rechazar un argumento correcto;
pero ustedes me acusaron sin razón.
26 Ustedes me critican por mis palabras,
palabras locas que se lleva el viento.
27 ¡Capaces son de jugarse la vida de un huérfano
y de vender aun a su propio amigo!
28 Mírenme ahora cara a cara;
díganme si miento.
29 Retiren lo dicho, no sean injustos;
reconozcan que tengo razón.
30 ¿Acaso creen que soy un mentiroso
que no se da cuenta de lo que dice?

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Sumagot si Job
6 Sumagot si Job,
2 “Kung matitimbang lang ang dinaranas kong pagtitiis at paghihirap, 3 mas mabigat pa ito kaysa sa buhangin sa tabing-dagat. Iyan ang dahilan kung bakit nagsasalita ako nang hindi ko pinag-iisipan nang mabuti. 4 Sapagkat para akong pinana ng Makapangyarihan na Dios ng panang nakakalason, at ang lason nitoʼy kumalat sa buo kong katawan. Ang nakakatakot na pana ng Dios ay nakatusok na sa akin. 5 Wala ba akong karapatang dumaing? Kahit asnong-gubat at baka ay umaatungal kapag walang damo. 6 Ang tao namaʼy nagrereklamo kapag walang asin ang kanyang pagkain, lalo naʼt kung ang kakainin ay puti lang ng itlog. 7 Ako man ay wala ring ganang kainin iyan, para akong masusuka.
8 “Nawaʼy ibigay ng Dios sa akin ang aking kahilingan. Matanggap ko na sana ang aking hinahangad, 9 na bawiin na lang sana ng Dios ang aking buhay. 10 At kapag itoʼy nangyari, masaya pa rin ako, dahil sa kabila ng aking paghihirap hinding-hindi ko itinakwil ang mga salita ng Banal na Dios.
11 “Ngunit pagod na akong maghintay at wala na rin akong maaasahan pa. Bakit kailangang patagalin pa ang buhay ko? 12 Kasingtibay ba ako ng bato at gawa ba sa tanso ang katawan ko? Hindi! 13 Wala na akong lakas para iligtas ang sarili ko. Wala na rin akong pagkakataong magtagumpay pa.
14 “Bilang mga kaibigan nais kong damayan ninyo ako sa paghihirap kong ito, kahit na sa tingin ninyoʼy itinakwil ko na ang Dios na Makapangyarihan. 15 Pero kayong mga itinuturing kong kapatid ay hindi pala maaasahan; para kayong sapa na kung minsan ay umaapaw ang tubig at kung minsan naman ay tuyo. 16 Itoʼy umaapaw kapag napupuno ng tunaw na yelo at nyebe, 17 at natutuyo kapag tag-init. 18 Kapag dumaan doon ang mga naglalakbay, wala silang tubig na maiinom, kaya pagdating nila sa ilang namamatay sila. 19 Ang mga mangangalakal na nagmula sa Tema at Sheba na naglalakbay ay umaasang makakainom sa sapa, 20 pero nabigo sila. Umaasa silang may tubig doon pero wala pala. 21 Ang sapa na iyon ang katulad ninyo. Wala rin kayong naitutulong sa akin. Natakot kayo nang makita ninyo ang nakakaawa kong kalagayan. 22 Pero bakit? Humingi ba ako ng regalo sa inyo? Nakiusap ba ako na tulungan ninyo ako mula sa inyong kayamanan, 23 o iligtas sa kamay ng aking mga kaaway? 24 Hindi! Ang pakiusap ko lamang ay sabihin ninyo sa akin ang tamang sagot sa nangyayari sa akin, at tatahimik na ako. Sabihin ninyo sa akin kung ano ang nagawa kong pagkakamali. 25 Hindi baleng masakit ang sasabihin ninyo bastaʼt iyon ay totoo. Pero ang ibinibintang ninyo sa akin ay hindi totoo at hindi ninyo mapatunayan. 26 Gusto ninyong ituwid ang mga sinasabi ko, dahil para sa inyo, ang aking sinasabi bilang desperadong tao ay walang kabuluhan. 27 Bakit, kayo baʼy matuwid? Nagagawa nga ninyong ipaalipin ang isang ulila, o di kayaʼy ipagbili ang isang kaibigan! 28 Tingnan ninyo ako. Sa tingin ba ninyoʼy magsisinungaling ako sa inyo? 29 Tigilan na ninyo ang paghatol sa akin, dahil wala akong kasalanan. 30 Akala ba ninyo ay nagsisinungaling ako, at hindi ko alam kung ano ang tama at mali?

Job
6 Then Job replied:
2 “If only my anguish could be weighed
and all my misery be placed on the scales!(A)
3 It would surely outweigh the sand(B) of the seas—
no wonder my words have been impetuous.(C)
4 The arrows(D) of the Almighty(E) are in me,(F)
my spirit drinks(G) in their poison;(H)
God’s terrors(I) are marshaled against me.(J)
5 Does a wild donkey(K) bray(L) when it has grass,
or an ox bellow when it has fodder?(M)
6 Is tasteless food eaten without salt,
or is there flavor in the sap of the mallow[a]?(N)
7 I refuse to touch it;
such food makes me ill.(O)
8 “Oh, that I might have my request,
that God would grant what I hope for,(P)
9 that God would be willing to crush(Q) me,
to let loose his hand and cut off my life!(R)
10 Then I would still have this consolation(S)—
my joy in unrelenting pain(T)—
that I had not denied the words(U) of the Holy One.(V)
11 “What strength do I have, that I should still hope?
What prospects, that I should be patient?(W)
12 Do I have the strength of stone?
Is my flesh bronze?(X)
13 Do I have any power to help myself,(Y)
now that success has been driven from me?
14 “Anyone who withholds kindness from a friend(Z)
forsakes the fear of the Almighty.(AA)
15 But my brothers are as undependable as intermittent streams,(AB)
as the streams that overflow
16 when darkened by thawing ice
and swollen with melting snow,(AC)
17 but that stop flowing in the dry season,
and in the heat(AD) vanish from their channels.
18 Caravans turn aside from their routes;
they go off into the wasteland and perish.
19 The caravans of Tema(AE) look for water,
the traveling merchants of Sheba(AF) look in hope.
20 They are distressed, because they had been confident;
they arrive there, only to be disappointed.(AG)
21 Now you too have proved to be of no help;
you see something dreadful and are afraid.(AH)
22 Have I ever said, ‘Give something on my behalf,
pay a ransom(AI) for me from your wealth,(AJ)
23 deliver me from the hand of the enemy,
rescue me from the clutches of the ruthless’?(AK)
24 “Teach me, and I will be quiet;(AL)
show me where I have been wrong.(AM)
25 How painful are honest words!(AN)
But what do your arguments prove?
26 Do you mean to correct what I say,
and treat my desperate words as wind?(AO)
27 You would even cast lots(AP) for the fatherless(AQ)
and barter away your friend.
Job 6
King James Version
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?

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?
