4. The Book of Job
Our Goal
We try to understand as much as possible, not only why we live in a world of evil, but more important, how we are to live in such a world.
Ang Ating Mithiin. Sisikapin natin na maunawaan hanggat maaari, hindi lang kung bakit tayo’y nabubuhay sa isang masamang daigdig, kundi mas mahalaga, kung paano tayo mamumuhay sa ganitong daigdig.

Key Text
Job 38:4 NKJV
“ ‘Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding.’ ”
Susing Talata. “ ‘Nasaan ka nang ilagay ko ang mga pundasyon ng lupa? Sabihin mo, kung mayroon kang pang-unawa’ ” (Job 38:4).

8. Out of the Whirlwind
Initial Words
While the context was Job’s suffering, the main focus of discussion was God. With the exception of the first two chapters, the Lord remained hidden, in the background, as the book progressed.
All that, however, was about to change. God Himself—the subject of so much discussion and debate in the book of Job—will now speak for Himself.
Panimulang Salita. Samantalang ang konteksto ay ang pagdurusa ni Job, ang pangunahing pokus ng talakayan ay ang Diyos. Maliban sa unang dalawang kapitulo, nananatiling nakatago ang Panginoon, sa likuran, samantalang nagpapatuloy ang aklat. ¶ Ang lahat ng ito, gayunman, ay magbabago. Ang Diyos mismo—ang paksa ng maraming pagtatalo at debate sa aklat ng Job—ay magsasalita na ngayon para sa Kanyang sarili.

1. God Interacts
Job 38:1-3 NKJV
“Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said, ‘Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge? No prepare yourself like a man;
I will question you, and you shall answer me.”
1. Nakikipag-ugnayan ang Diyos. “At mula sa ipu-ipo’y sumagot ang Panginoon kay Job: ‘Sino ba itong nagpapadilim ng payo sa pamamagitan ng mga salitang walang kaalaman? Bigkisan mo tulad ng sa lalaki ang iyong baywang, ¶ tatanungin kita at ikaw sa akin ay magsasaysay” (Job 38:1-3).

11. God Interacts
Out of the Whirlwind
The word whirlwind comes from a Hebrew word that means “storm” or “tempest,” and it has been used in connection with the appearance of God to humans (see Isa. 29:6, Zech. 9:14).
It was also the word used in the context of Elijah’s being taken to heaven: “When the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind” (2 Kings 2:1, NIV).
Mula sa ipu-ipo. Ang salitang ipu-ipo na mula sa isang Hebreong salita na nangangahulugang “bagyo” o “unos,” ay ginamit kaugnay sa pagpapakita ng Diyos sa tao (tingnan ang Isa. 29:6, Zac. 9:14). ¶ Ito rin ang salitang ginamit sa konteksto ng pagdadala kay Elias sa langit: “Nang malapit nang iakyat ng Panginoon si Elias sa langit sa pamamagitan ng ipu-ipo” (2 Hari 2:1).

12. God Interacts
Out of the Whirlwind
Though we are not given any physical details about this “theophany” (a visible manifestation of God to humanity), it is clear that God isn’t speaking to Job in a “still small voice” (1 Kings 19:12).
Instead, the Lord manifested Himself in a very powerful way, one that certainly got Job’s attention.
Bagaman hindi tayo nabigyan ng anumang pisikal na detalye tungkol dito sa “theophany” (isang nakikitang pagpapahayag ng Diyos sa tao), malinaw na ang Diyos ay hindi nagsasalita kay Job sa isang “banayad at munting tinig” (1 Hari 19:21). ¶ Sa halip, ang Panginoon mismo ay inihayag ang Kanyang sarili sa isang lubhang makapangyarihang paraan, isa na tiyak na nakuha ang pansin ni Job.

13. God Interacts
Out of the Whirlwind
The Bible teaches us the important truth that our God is not a distant God who created our world and then left us to ourselves. Instead, He is a God who closely interacts with us.
No matter our sorrows, our troubles, or whatever we face in this life, we can have the assurance that God is near and that we can trust Him.
Itinuturo sa atin ng Biblia ang mahalagang katotohanan na ang ating Diyos ay hindi isang malayong Diyos na nilalang ang ating daigdig at pagkatapos ay iniwan tayong nag-iisa. Sa halip, Siya ay isang Diyos na buong lapit na nakikipag-ugnayan sa atin. ¶ Kahit ano ang ating mga kalungkutan at problema, o anuman ang hinaharap natin sa buhay na ito, magkakaron tayo ng katiyakan na ang Diyos ay malapit at mapagkakatiwalaan natin Siya.

14. God Interacts
Out of the Whirlwind
God ask humans questions not because He doesn’t know the answers already. Instead, as a good teacher often does, God asks questions because they are an effective way to get us to think about our situation, to make us confront ourselves, to help us work through issues and come to the proper conclusions.
Tinatanong ng Diyos ang tao di dahil sa hindi Niya alam ang sagot noon pa. Sa halip, gaya nang madalas na ginagawa ng isang mabuting guro, nagtatanong ang Diyos dahil ito ay isang epektibong paraan para pag-isipin tayo tungkol sa ating katayuan, para utusan tayong harapin ang sarili, para tulungan tayong kumilos sa mga isyu at makarating sa mga tamang kapasyahan.

2. Interacts With Questions
Job 38:4, 31 NKJV
“ ‘Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding.
Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades. Or loose the belt of Orion?’ ”
2. Nakikipag-ugnayan na May mga Tanong. “ ‘Nasaan ka nang inilagay ko ang mga pundasyon ng lupa? Sabihin mo, kung mayroon kang pang-unawa. ¶ Ang mga tanikala ng Pleyades ay iyo bang matatalian, o ang tali ng Orion ay iyo bang makakalagan?’ ” (Job 38:4, 31).

16. Job still knew so little.
2. Interacts With Questions
The Lord as Creator
God’s point was to show Job that even with all his wisdom and knowledge and even though he spoke “right” (Job 42:7) about God in contrast to these other men,
Job still knew so little.
And his lack of knowledge was best revealed by how great Job’s ignorance of the created world was.
Ang Panginoon Bilang Manlalalang. Ang punto ng Diyos ay para ipakita kay Job na kahit na sa lahat niyang karunungan at kaalaman at kahit pa “tama” ang sinabi niya (Job 42:7) tungkol sa Diyos kataliwas sa mga lalaking ito, talagang kakaunti pa rin ang nalalaman ni Job. ¶ At ang kakulangan niya ng kaalaman ay pinakamabuting naipakita sa pamamagitan ng kung gaano kalaki ang kamangmangan ni Job sa nilikhang daigdig.

17. 2. Interacts With Questions
The Lord as Creator
If Job knew so little about the creation, how much could he understand about the Creator? Though God contrasted Himself to Job, any other human being would have sufficed, as well.
What are we in contrast to God? And yet, look at what this God has done to save us and to offer us the hope of eternal fellowship with Him.
Kung lubhang kakaunti ang nalalaman ni Job tungkol sa sangnilikha, gaano ang mauunawaan niya tungkol sa Manlalalang? Bagaman inihambing ng Diyos ang Sarili kay Job, sinumang tao ay pupuwede rin. ¶ Ano tayo kapag inihambing sa Diyos? At gayunman, tingnan kung ano ang ginawa nitong Diyos para iligtas tayo at para ialok sa atin ang pag-asa ng walang hanggang pakikisama sa Kanya.

2. Interacts With Questions
The Lord as Creator
Thanks mostly to modern science,
we live today with knowledge of the natural world that people in Bible times couldn’t begin to comprehend.
Science has made it even more fascinating, revealing a depth and complexity of the natural world
that previous generations knew
nothing about.
Salamat lalo na sa modernong siyensya, nabubuhay tayo ngayon na may kaalaman ng natural na daigdig na hindi man lang masisimulang maunawaan ng mga tao sa panahon ng Biblia. ¶ Nagawa ito ng siyensya na lalo pang kaakit-akit, inihahayag ang isang lalim at kasalimuutan ng natural na mundo na walang nalalaman ang nakaraang mga henerasyon.

19. 2. Interacts With Questions
The Lord as Creator
“Just how God accomplished the work of creation He has never revealed to men; human science cannot search out the secrets of the Most High. His creative power is as incomprehensible as His existence.” —Patriarchs and Prophets 113.
“Hinding-hindi Niya inihayag sa tao kung paanong natapos ng Diyos ang gawa ng paglalang; ang siyensya ng tao ay hindi matutuklasan ang mga lihim ng Kataas-taasan. Ang Kanyang malikhaing kapangyarihan ay kasingdi-mauunawaan gaya ng Kanyang pag-iral.”—Patriarchs and Prophets 113.

20. Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.’ ”
Out of the Whirlwind
3. Job Responds
Job 42:3-6 NKJV
“ ‘You asked,“Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge” Therefore I have uttered what I did not under-stand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. ... I have heard You..., but now my eye sees You.
Therefore I abhor myself, and
repent in dust and ashes.’ ”
3. Tumutugon si Job. “ ‘Sino itong nagkukubli ng payo na walang kaalaman?’ Kaya’t aking nasambit ang hindi ko nauunawaan, mga bagay na lubhang kahanga-hanga para sa akin, na hindi nalalaman. ... Narinig kita..., ngunit ngayo’y nakikita ka ng aking mata, ¶ kayat ako’y namumuhi sa sarili ko, at nagsisisi ako sa alabok at mga abo” (Job 42:3-6).

21. 3. Job Responds
Repenting in Dust and Ashes
Obviously Job was overwhelmed by what God had shown him. Though he had only heard about God, now that he saw God—that is, now that he got a better view of God—he saw himself for what he really was.
That’s why he reacted as he did, abhorring himself and repenting in dust and ashes.
Nagsisisi sa Alabok at mga Abo. Kitang-kita na si Job ay nalipos sa ipinakita sa kanya ng Diyos. Bagaman narinig niya ang tungkol sa Diyos, ngayon na nakita niya ang Diyos—ibig sabihin, ngayon ay may mas mabuti na siyang pananaw sa Diyos—nakita niya ang sarili kung ano talaga siya. ¶ Kaya siya’y tumugon ng gaya ng kinilos niya, kinakamuhian ang sarili at nagsisisi sa alabok at mga abo.

22. That’s why no one can save himself;
3. Job Responds
Repenting in Dust and Ashes
A glimpse of the holiness and power of God was enough to make Job cringe with a sense of his own sinfulness and smallness. That’s because we are all sin-damaged beings whose very nature itself brings us into conflict with God.
That’s why no one can save himself;
no one can do enough good works to merit any favor before God.
Ang isang sulyap ng kabanalan at kapangyarihan ng Diyos ay sapat para panliitin si Job na may pagkadama ng sariling pagkamakasalanan at kaliitan. ‘Yon ay dahil lahat tayo’y mga nilalang na sinira ng kasalanan, na ang likas mismo nito’y dinadala tayo na salungat sa Diyos. ¶ Kaya walang maililigtas ang sarili; walang makakagawa ng sapat na mabubuting gawa para marapatin ang anumang pabor sa harap ng Diyos.

23. Fortunately we have all that,
3. Job Responds
Repenting in Dust and Ashes
That’s why we all—even the “best” among us, those who, like Job, are upright and blameless and who fear God and shun evil—need grace, need
a Savior, need Someone to do for us what we can never do for ourselves.
Fortunately we have all that,
and more, in Jesus.
Kaya lahat tayo—kahit ang “pinakamabuti” sa atin, yung gaya ni Job, na matuwid at walang kapintasan at may takot sa Diyos at lumalayo sa kasamaan—ay nangangailangan ng biyaya, ng isang Tagapagligtas, ng Isa na gagawin para sa atin ang hindi natin magagawa para sa sarili. ¶ Sa kabutihang palad meron tayo ng lahat ng ‘yon at higit pa, kay Jesus.

24. Final Words
Patriarchs and Prophets 113
“The greatest minds, if not guided by the word of God..., become bewildered in...the relations of science and revela-tion. Because the Creator and His works are...beyond their comprehension that they are unable to explain them by natural laws, they regard Bible history as unreliable...and doubt the existence of God; and...are left to...infidelity.”
Huling Pananalita. “Ang mga pinakadakilang isip, kung hindi ginabayan ng salita ng Diyos..., ay malilito sa...relasyon ng siyensya at kapahayagan. Dahil ang Manlalalang at ang Kanyang mga gawa ay...higit sa kanilang pag-unawa kaya hindi nila maipaliwanag ito sa pamamagitan ng mga batas ng katalagahan, itinuturing nila ang kasaysayan sa Biblia na di-maaasahan...at pinagdududahan ang pag-iral ng Diyos; at...pinabayaan sa...di-paniniwala sa Diyos.”—Patriarchs and Prophets 113
