Job 42

1 Pagkatapos sumagot si Job kay Yahweh at sinabing,

Then Job answered the Lord.

2 “Alam kong kaya mong gawin ang lahat ng bagay, na wala kang layunin na mapipigilan.

“I know you can do anything. No one can prevent you doing what you want.

3 Tinanong mo ako, 'Sino ba itong walang nalalaman na nagdadala ng kadiliman sa aking mga plano?' Kaya sinabi ako ang mga bagay na hindi ko naintindihan, mga bagay na napakahirap para maunawaan ko, na hindi ko alam.

You asked, ‘Who is this who questions my wisdom by talking so ignorantly?’ I was speaking about things I didn't understand—things too wonderful for me to know.

4 Sinabi mo sa akin, 'Makinig ka, ngayon, at magsasalita ako; magtatanong ako sa iyo ng mga bagay, at sasabihin mo sa akin.'

You told me, ‘Listen to me, I am going to speak. I am going to question you, and you must answer me.’

5 Narinig ko na ang tungkol sa iyo sa pandinig ng aking tainga, pero ngayon nakikita ka na ng aking mata.

Before, I had only heard about you, but now I've seen you for myself.

6 Kaya kinamumuhian ko ang sarili ko; nagsisisi ako sa alikabok at abo.”

That is why I'm sorry for what I said, and I repent in dust and ashes.”

7 Mangyaring pagkatapos niyang sabihin ang mga salitang ito kay Job, sinabi ni Yahweh kay Elifaz ang Temaneo, “Ang aking poot ay sumiklab laban sa iyo at laban sa dalawa mong kaibigan dahil hindi ninyo sinabi ang mga katotohanan tungkol sa akin katulad ng ginawa ng aking lingkod na si Job.

After the Lord had finished speaking to Job he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends because you have not told the truth about me, as my servant Job did.

8 Kaya ngayon, kumuha kayo ng pitong toro at pitong tupa, pumunta kayo sa aking lingkod na si Job, at mag-alay ng handog na susunugin. Ang aking lingkod na si Job ay ipapanalangin kayo, at tatanggapin ko ang kaniyang panalangin, para hindi ko kayo parusahan dahil sa inyong kamangmangan. Hindi ninyo sinabi ang totoo tungkol sa akin, katulad ng ginawa ng aking lingkod na si Job.”

So take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job, and you shall offer a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray on your behalf and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your foolishness, because you have not told the truth about me, as my servant Job did.”

9 Kaya sila Elifaz ang Temaneo, Bildad na Suhita, at Zofar ang Naamita ay umalis at ginawa kung ano ang inutos ni Yahweh sa kanila, at tinanggap ni Yahweh si Job.

So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite did what the Lord commanded them, and the Lord accepted Job's prayer.

10 Nang ipinanalangin ni Job ang kaniyang mga kaibigan, ibinalik ni Yahweh ang yaman niya. Binigay ni Yahweh ang doble ng kung ano ang pag-aari niya dati.

The Lord restored Job's prosperity when he prayed for his friends, and gave him twice as much as he had before.

11 Pagkatapos lahat ng kapatid na lalaki ni Job, at lahat ng kaniyang kapatid na babae, at lahat silang naging kasama niya dati—pumunta sila sa kaniya at kumain sa bahay niya. Nakidalamhati sila sa kaniya at inaliw siya dahil sa lahat ng mga sakuna na dinala sa kaniya ni Yahweh. Ang bawat isa ay binigyan si Job ng piraso ng pilak at gintong singsing.

Then all his brothers and sisters and friends he'd previously known came and ate with him at his home. They showed him sympathy and comforted him because of all the trouble the Lord had caused him. Each one of them gave him money and a gold ring.

12 Mas pinagpala ni Yahweh ang huling bahagi ng buhay ni Job kaysa sa una; nagkaroon siya ng labing-apat na libong tupa, anim na libong kamelyo, isang libong pamatok ng baka, at isang libong babaeng asno.

The Lord blessed the last part of Job's life more than the first part. Now he owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 teams of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.

13 Nagkaroon din siya ng pitong anak na lalaki at tatlong anak na babae.

Job also had seven sons and three daughters.

14 Pinangalanan niya ang unang anak na babae na Jemima, ang pangalawa Kezia, at ang pangatlo Keren-hapuc.

Job called the first daughter Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-Happuch.

15 Sa buong lupain, walang babae ang matatagpuang kasing ganda ng mga anak ni Job. Binigyan sila ni Job ng pamana kasama ng kanilang mga kapatid na lalaki.

Nowhere in all the land were there women as beautiful as Job's daughters, and Job gave them the same inheritance as their brothers.

16 Pagkatapos nito, nabuhay pa si Job ng 140 taon; nakita niya ang kaniyang mga anak na lalaki at ang mga anak ng mga anak niya, hanggang sa apat na salinlahi.

Job lived 140 years after this, seeing his children, and grandchildren, in fact four generations.

17 Pagkatapos namatay si Job, sa katandaan at puspos ng mga kaarawan.

Then Job died at an old age, having lived a very full life.
