< Job 18 >

1 Then Bildad replied [again]:
Nang magkagayo'y sumagot si Bildad na Suhita, at nagsabi,
2 “When are you going to stop talking [RHQ]? If you would stop talking and listen, we could tell you something.
Hanggang kailan manghuhuli kayo ng mga salita? Inyong bulayin, at pagkatapos ay magsasalita kami.
3 Why do you think that we are [as stupid] as cattle? [DOU, RHQ]
Bakit kami nangabibilang na parang mga hayop, at naging marumi sa iyong paningin?
4 By being [very] angry and hurting yourself, do you think that doing that will shake the earth, or cause the rocks in the mountains to move? [RHQ]?
Ikaw na nagpapakabagbag sa iyong galit, pababayaan ba ang lupa dahil sa iyo? O babaguhin ba ang bato mula sa kinaroroonan?
5 “What will happen is that the lives of wicked people [like you] end [as quickly as we can] put out a light or extinguish the flame of a fire.
Oo, ang ilaw ng masama ay papatayin, at ang liyab ng kaniyang apoy ay hindi liliwanag.
6 And when the lamps above them [in their tents] are extinguished, there will be no light in those tents.
Ang ilaw ay magdidilim sa kaniyang tolda, at ang kaniyang ilawan sa itaas niya ay papatayin.
7 [For many years] they walked confidently, but later [in life it was as though] they stumbled and fell, because [they themselves did not heed] the advice [that they gave to others].
Ang mga hakbang ng kaniyang kalakasan ay mapipigil, at ang kaniyang sariling payo ang magbabagsak sa kaniya.
8 [It was as though] they walked into their own net or fell into a pit that they themselves have dug.
Sapagka't siya'y inihagis sa lambat ng kaniyang sariling mga paa, at siya'y lumalakad sa mga silo.
9 [It was as though] a trap grabbed their heels and held them fast [DOU],
Isang panghuli ang huhuli sa kaniya sa mga sakong. At isang silo ay huhuli sa kaniya.
10 [as though the noose of] a rope that was hidden on the ground, [whose other end was fastened to the limb of a tree], seized them when they walked into it.
Ang panali ay nakakubli ukol sa kaniya sa lupa, at isang patibong na ukol sa kaniya ay nasa daan.
11 Everywhere they went, there were things that caused them to be terrified; [it was as though] those things were pursuing them and biting at their heels.
Mga kakilabutan ay tatakot sa kaniya sa lahat ng dako, at hahabol sa kaniya sa kaniyang mga sakong.
12 They became hungry, with the result that they had no strength. They experienced disasters [PRS] constantly.
Ang kaniyang kalakasan ay manglalata sa gutom, at ang kapahamakan ay mahahanda sa kaniyang tagiliran.
13 Diseases spread all over their skin/bodies; diseases that (caused their bodies to decay/destroyed their arms and legs).
Susupukin ang mga sangkap ng kaniyang katawan, Oo, lalamunin ng panganay ng kamatayan ang kaniyang mga sangkap.
14 [When they died, ] they were snatched away from their tents and brought to the one who rules over the dead.
Siya'y ilalabas sa kaniyang tolda na kaniyang tinitiwalaan; at siya'y dadalhin sa hari ng mga kakilabutan.
15 Now their tents will burn down, when burning sulfur rains down on those tents!
Tatahan sa kaniyang tolda yaong di niya kaanoano: azufre ay makakalat sa kaniyang tahanan.
16 [Because those who died had no descendants], they were [like trees whose] roots have dried up and whose branches have all withered [MET].
Ang kaniyang mga ugat ay mangatutuyo sa ilalim, at sa ibabaw ay puputulin ang kaniyang sanga.
17 No one on the earth will remember them any more; no [one on any] street [will even remember] their names [MTY].
Ang alaala sa kaniya ay mawawala sa lupa, at siya'y mawawalan ng pangalan sa lansangan.
18 They will be expelled from the earth where there is light, and they will be sent into the place where it is dark.
Siya'y ihahatid sa kadiliman mula sa liwanag, at itatapon sa labas ng sanglibutan.
19 They will have no children or grandchildren, no descendants where they previously lived.
Siya'y hindi magkakaroon kahit anak, ni anak man ng anak sa gitna ng kaniyang bayan, ni anomang nalabi sa kaniyang pinakipamayanan.
20 People from the east to the west [who hear about what happened to them], will be shocked and horrified.
Silang nagsisidating pagkatapos ay mangatitigilan sa kaniyang kaarawan, gaya ng nangauna na nangatakot.
21 And that is what happens to ungodly/sinful people [like you], to people who (have no interest in/have rejected) God.”
Tunay na ganyan ang mga tahanan ng mga liko, at ito ang kalalagyan niya na hindi nakakakilala sa Dios.
