Job 8
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Makatarungan ang Diyos
8 Ito naman ang sagot ni Bildad na Suhita:
2 “Hanggang kailan ka magsasalita ng ganyan,
mga salitang parang hangin at walang kabuluhan?
3 Hindi pinipilipit ng Diyos ang katarungan;
hindi binabaluktot ng Makapangyarihan ang katuwiran.
4 Maaaring nagkasala sa Diyos ang iyong mga anak,
kaya't ibinigay niya sa kanila ang parusang nararapat.
5 Ngunit kung ikaw ay lalapit at makiusap sa Diyos na Makapangyarihan,
6 kung ikaw ay talagang tapat, at malinis ang kalooban,
tutulungan ka ng Diyos;
gagantimpalaan at ibabalik niya ang iyong sambahayan.
7 Maliit na bagay ang mga nawala mong kayamanan,
kung ihahambing ang sa iyo'y kanyang ibibigay.
8 “Alamin(A) mo ang mga nagdaang kasaysayan,
itanong sa matatanda ang kaalamang natuklasan.
9 Buhay nati'y maikli lang, at kaalaman nati'y kulang;
parang anino lamang tayong dumaan sa ibabaw ng sanlibutan.
10 Pakaisipin mo ang kanilang mga aral,
ang kanilang sinasabi ay iyong pakinggan.
11 “Ang halaman sa tubigan ay di mabubuhay,
kundi sa matubig at malamig na lugar lamang.
12 Ito'y unang nalalanta kapag ito ay natuyuan,
kahit bagong tubo pa lang at di pa napuputulan.
13 Ganyan ang katulad ng mga taong walang Diyos,
pag-asa ay mawawala kapag ang Diyos ay nilimot.
14 Ang mga bagay na pinagkakatiwalaan nila'y kasingrupok lamang ng sapot ng gagamba.
15 Kapag ito'y sinandalan, agad itong nalalagot,
kapag ito'y hinawakan, tiyak itong masisira.
16 “Ang masasamang tao'y parang damong nagsusulputan,
tulad ng masamang damong kumakalat sa halamanan.
17 Bumabalot sa mga bato ang kanilang mga ugat,
at sa bawat bato sila'y humahawak.
18 Ngunit kapag sila'y nabunot sa kinatatamnan,
wala nang nakakaalala sa dati nilang kalagayan.
19 Ganyan ang kasiyahan ng masasamang tao,
may iba namang lilitaw at kukuha ng kanilang puwesto.
20 “Hindi pababayaan ng Diyos ang mabuting tao,
ngunit sa masama'y hindi siya sasaklolo.
21 Patatawanin ka niya at pasisigawin sa tuwa,
22 ngunit ang mga kaaway mo'y kanyang ipapahiya,
at ang tahanan ng masasama ay ganap na mawawala.”

8 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2 How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?
3 Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
4 If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;
5 If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
6 If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
8 For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)
10 Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
11 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
12 Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.
13 So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:
14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.
15 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
16 He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.
17 His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.
18 If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.
19 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
20 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:
21 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.
22 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.

Bildad Speaks: Job Should Repent
8 Then (A)Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
2 “How long will you say these things,
and the words of your mouth be a (B)great wind?
3 (C)Does God pervert justice?
Or does the Almighty pervert the right?
4 If your (D)children have sinned against him,
he has delivered them into the hand of their transgression.
5 If you will seek God
and (E)plead with the Almighty for mercy,
6 if you are pure and upright,
surely then he will (F)rouse himself for you
and (G)restore your rightful habitation.
7 And though your beginning was small,
(H)your latter days will be very great.
8 “For (I)inquire, please, of bygone ages,
and consider what (J)the fathers have searched out.
9 For we are but of yesterday and know nothing,
for our days on earth are (K)a shadow.
10 Will they not teach you and tell you
and utter words out of their understanding?
11 “Can papyrus grow where there is no marsh?
Can reeds flourish where there is no water?
12 While yet in flower and not cut down,
they (L)wither before any other plant.
13 Such are the paths of all who (M)forget God;
(N)the hope of (O)the godless shall perish.
14 His confidence is severed,
and his trust is (P)a spider's web.[a]
15 He leans against his (Q)house, but it does not stand;
he lays hold of it, but it does not endure.
16 He is a lush plant before the sun,
and his (R)shoots spread over his garden.
17 His roots entwine the stone heap;
he looks upon a house of stones.
18 If he is destroyed from his (S)place,
then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have never (T)seen you.’
19 Behold, this is the joy of his way,
and out of (U)the soil others will spring.
20 “Behold, God will not reject a blameless man,
nor take the hand of evildoers.
21 He will yet (V)fill your mouth with laughter,
and your lips with shouting.
22 Those who hate you will be (W)clothed with shame,
and the tent of the wicked will be no more.”

8 Then Bildad the Shuhite(A) replied:
2 “How long will you say such things?(B)
Your words are a blustering wind.(C)
3 Does God pervert justice?(D)
Does the Almighty pervert what is right?(E)
4 When your children sinned against him,
he gave them over to the penalty of their sin.(F)
5 But if you will seek God earnestly
and plead(G) with the Almighty,(H)
6 if you are pure and upright,
even now he will rouse himself on your behalf(I)
and restore you to your prosperous state.(J)
7 Your beginnings will seem humble,
so prosperous(K) will your future be.(L)
8 “Ask the former generation(M)
and find out what their ancestors learned,
9 for we were born only yesterday and know nothing,(N)
and our days on earth are but a shadow.(O)
10 Will they not instruct(P) you and tell you?
Will they not bring forth words from their understanding?(Q)
11 Can papyrus grow tall where there is no marsh?(R)
Can reeds(S) thrive without water?
12 While still growing and uncut,
they wither more quickly than grass.(T)
13 Such is the destiny(U) of all who forget God;(V)
so perishes the hope of the godless.(W)
14 What they trust in is fragile[a];
what they rely on is a spider’s web.(X)
15 They lean on the web,(Y) but it gives way;
they cling to it, but it does not hold.(Z)
16 They are like a well-watered plant in the sunshine,
spreading its shoots(AA) over the garden;(AB)
17 it entwines its roots around a pile of rocks
and looks for a place among the stones.
18 But when it is torn from its spot,
that place disowns(AC) it and says, ‘I never saw you.’(AD)
19 Surely its life withers(AE) away,
and[b] from the soil other plants grow.(AF)
