3. The Book of Job Ang Aklat ni Job
Clifford R. Goldstein, Principal Contributor

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.

7. Some Lessons From Job
Key Text
James 5:11 NKJV
“Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord—that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.”
Susing Talata. “Tunay na tinatawag nating mapapalad ang mga nagtiis. Narinig ninyo ang tungkol sa pagtitiis ni Job, at inyong nakita ang layunin ng Panginoon, kung paanong ang Panginoon ay puno ng pagkahabag at pagkamaawain” (Santiago 5:11).

8. Some Lessons From Job
Initial Words
Mysteries remain, especially in a book like Job, where many of life’s most difficult questions are raised.
Nevertheless, we will look at some lessons we can take away from this story that can help us, like Job, to be faithful to the Lord amid a world of troubles.
Panimulang Salita. Nananatili ang mga kababalaghan, lalo na sa isang aklat na gaya ng Job, kung saan marami sa pinakamahihirap na tanong ay naibangon. ¶ Gayunman, titingnan natin ang mga liksyong makukuha natin mula sa kuwentong ito na makakatulong sa atin, gaya ni Job, na maging tapat sa Panginoon sa gitna ng isang daigdig ng mga ligalig.

10. Some Lessons From Job
1. Life in the Great Controversy
2 Corinthians 5:7, 4:18 NKJV
“For we walk by faith, not by sight. While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen.
For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.”
1. Ang Buhay sa Malaking Tunggalian. “Sapagkat kami ay lumalakad sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya, hindi sa pamamagitan ng paningin. Sapagkat hindi kami tumitingin sa mga bagay na nakikita, kundi sa mga bagay na hindi nakikita, ¶ sapagkat ang mga bagay na nakikita ay may katapusan, subalit ang mga bagay na hindi nakikita ay walang hanggan” (2 Corinto 5:7, 4:18).

11. 1. Life in the Great Controversy
By Faith and Not by Sight
None of the people involved really grasped what was going on. Outside of what that they could see—that is, Job’s calamity—they didn’t have a clue as to what was happening behind the scenes.
The book of Job, then, teaches us that we need to learn to live by faith, realizing our weakness and just how little we really see and know.
Sa Pamamagitan ng Pananampalataya at Hindi sa Paningin. Wala sa mga taong kasangkot ang talagang nauunawaan ang nangyayari. Labas sa nakikita nila—ibig sabihin, ang kalamidad ni Job—wala silang palatandaan sa kung ano ang nangyayari sa likuran ng mga eksena. ¶ Ang aklat ng Job, kung gayon, ay nagtuturo sa atin na kelangan nating mabuhay sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya, kinikilala ang ating kahinaan at kung gaano kakaunti ang talagang nakikita at nalalaman natin.

12. Evil is real. This is a truth especially revealed in the book of Job.
1. Life in the Great Controversy
Evil Being
Evil is real. This is a truth especially revealed in the book of Job.
Satan was directly responsible for the evil, both moral and natural, that fell upon this man.
But what we see in the book of Job doesn’t necessarily mean that every example of evil or suffering is directly related to demonic activity.
Masamang Katauhan. Tunay ang kasamaan. Ito’y isang katotohanang talagang naihayag sa aklat ng Job. Si Satanas ang tuwirang may-pananagutan sa kasamaan, parehong moral at natural, na dumarating sa tao. ¶ Subalit ang nakikita natin sa aklat ng Job ay hindi kinakailangang nangangahulugang ang bawat halimbawa ng kasamaan o pagdurusa ay tuwirang nakaugnay sa makademonyong gawain.

13. In fact, the name of “Satan” never
1. Life in the Great Controversy
Evil Being
In fact, the name of “Satan” never
even came up in the dialogues regarding Job’s misfortunes.
The speakers blamed God, they
blamed Job, but never Satan himself.
Nevertheless, the book of Job should show us who is responsible in the end for the evil on the earth.
Sa katunayan, ang pangalan ni “Satanas” ay hinding-hindi nga nabanggit sa usapan tungkol sa mga kasawian ni Job. Sinisi ng mga nagsasalita ang Diyos, sinisi nila si Job, pero hinding-hindi si Satanas mismo. ¶ Gayunman, ang aklat ng Job ay dapat ipakita sa atin kung sino ang may-pananagutan sa wakas para sa kasamaan sa lupa.

14. 1. Life in the Great Controversy
More Than Thorns and Thistles
Job could be deemed a symbol of all humanity, in that all of us suffer—often in ways that just don’t seem appropriate to whatever sins we have committed.
Whatever left unanswered, it doesn’t leave us with nothing but the ashes of our lives. Instead, it leaves us with the hope of hopes, the hope of something beyond our immediate senses.
Higit Pa sa mga Tinik at Dawag. Maituturing si Job na isang simbolo ng lahat ng tao, sa punto na lahat tayo’y nagdurusa—kadalasang sa mga paraang tila hindi nararapat sa anumang kasalanang nagawa natin. ¶ Anumang nananatiling di-nasasagot, hindi nito tayo iniiwang walang-wala kundi ng abo ng ating buhay. Sa halip, iniiwan tayo na may pag-asa ng mga pag-asa, ang pag-asa ng isang bagay na lumalagpas sa kagyat nating nadarama.

15. ‘Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.’ ”
Some Lessons From Job
2. Suffering Person’s Need
John 8:10, 11 NKJV
“He said to her, ‘Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?’ She said, ‘No one, Lord.’ And Jesus said to her,
‘Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.’ ”
2. Ang Pangangailangan ng Taong Nagdurusa. “Sinabi sa kanya, ‘Babae, nasaan sila? Wala na bang ni isang humahatol sa iyo?’ At sinabi niya, ‘Walang sinuman, Panginoon.’ Sinabi ni Jesus, ¶ ‘Hindi rin kita hinahatulan. Humayo ka na at mula ngayo’y huwag ka nang magkasala’ ” (Juan 8:10, 11).

16. all these things he had deserved them?
2. Suffering People’s Need
With Friends Like These...
The men who came to speak to Job did so with good motives. Time after time, they got it all wrong. But suppose they had gotten it all right? Suppose
all these things he had deserved them?
They might have been theologically correct, but so what? Did Job need correct theology? Or did he need something else entirely?
May mga Kaibigang Gaya ng mga Ito... Ang mga lalaking dumating para magsalita kay Job ay ginawa ito nang may mabuting motibo. Paulit-ulit, puro mali sila. Pero ipagpalagay na tumama sila? Ipagpalagay na karapat-dapat siya sa lahat ng mga ito? ¶ Maaari silang tama sa teolohiya, pero eh ano ngayon? Kelangan ba ni Job ang tamang teolohiya? O kelangan ba niya ang isang lubos na naiiba?

17. 2. Suffering People’s Need
The Woman Taken in Adultery
In this story, there is a difference between the woman and Job. The woman was guilty. Job was not guilty.
But even if he had been guilty like this woman, what Job needed from these men was what this woman needed, and what all suffering people need: grace and forgiveness.
Ang Babaeng Nahuli sa Pangangalunya. Sa Kuwentong ito’y maykaibahan sa pagitan ng babae at si Job. May sala ang babae. Si Job ay walang sala. ¶ Pero kahit siya’y may sala gaya ng babaeng ito, ang kelangan ni Job mula sa mga lalaking ito ay ang kinailangan ng babaeng ito, at ang kelangan ng lahat ng mga nagdurusang tao: biyaya at kapatawaran.

18. 2. Suffering People’s Need
The Woman Taken in Adultery
“In His act of pardoning this woman and encouraging her to live a better life, the character of Jesus shines forth in the beauty of perfect righteousness.
While He does not palliate sin, nor lessen the sense of guilt, He seeks not to con-demn, but to save. The world had...only contempt and scorn; but Jesus speaks words of comfort and hope.”—Desire of Ages 462.
“Sa Kanyang pagpapatawad sa babaeng ito at pagpapalakas-loob sa kanya na mamuhay ng isang mas mabuting buhay, ang karakter ni Jesus ang kuminang sa kagandahan ng sakdal na katuwiran. ¶ Samantalang hindi Niya pinangangatwiranan ang kasalanan, o binabawasan ang pagkadama ng sala, hindi Niya hinahangad ang humatol kundi ang magligtas. Meron lang paglait at paghamak...ang sanlibutan; subalit si Jesus ay nagsasalita ng aliw at pag-asa.”—Desire of Ages 462.

19. we would like were we in their shoes.
2. Suffering People’s Need
The Woman Taken in Adultery
What the book of Job should teach us is that we need to give others what
we would like were we in their shoes.
There is surely a time and place for rebuke, for confrontation, but before we consider taking on that role, we need to remember humbly and meekly that we are sinners ourselves.
Ang dapat ituro ng aklat ng Job sa atin ay ang pangangailangan natin na bigyan ang iba ng gusto natin kung tayo ay nasa kanilang katayuan. ¶ Tiyak na may oras at lugar para sa sumbat, para sa paghaharap, pero bago natin isiping kunin ang papel na ’yon, kelangan nating alalahanin na may kababaang-loob at kaamuan na tayo rin ay makasalanan.

20. Some Lessons From Job
3. The Cost of Salvation
Matthew 26:60, 61 NKJV
“Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none, But at last two false witnesses came forward and said,
‘This fellow said, “I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.” ’ ”
3. Ang Kakailanganin ng Kaligtasan. “Ngunit wala silang natagpuan bagaman maraming humarap na mga bulaang saksi. Pagkatapos ay may dalawang dumating at nagsabi, ¶ ‘Sinabi ng taong ito, “Kaya kong gibain ang templo ng Diyos, at muling itayo sa loob ng tatlong araw” ’ ” (Mateo 26:60, 61).

21. Bible students through the ages
3. The Cost of Salvation
Jesus and Job
Bible students through the ages
have sought to find parallels between the story of Job and the story of Jesus.
And though Job is not exactly a “type” of Jesus, some parallels do exist.
In these parallels we can find another lesson from Job: that of what our salvation cost the Lord.
Sina Jesus at Job. Sa buong kapanahunan ang mga estudyante ng Biblia ay nagsikap na maghanap ng pagkakapareho sa pagitan ng kuwento ni Job at ang kuwento ni Jesus. At bagaman si Job ay hindi eksaktong isang “tipo” ni Jesus ay umiiral ang pagkakapareho. ¶ Sa mga pagkakapareho na ito ay masusumpungan natin ang isa pang liksyon mula sa Job: yung ano ang kinailangan ng ating Panginoon para sa ating kaligtasan.

22. 3. The Cost of Salvation
Some Parallels
Job was sorely tested by the devil, as was Jesus. All through the book of Job, Job was falsely accused; Jesus, too, faced false accusations.
Finally, and perhaps most important, despite all that happened, Job stayed faithful to the Lord. Much more consequently for us all, Jesus stayed faithful, as well.
Mga Pagkakapareho. Si Job ay labis na sinubukan ng diyablo, gaya rin ni Jesus. Sa buong aklat ng Job, si Job ay buong kasinungalingang inakusahan; si Jesus, din, ay hinarap ang mga maling akusasyon. ¶ Sa wakas, at marahil ang pinakamahalaga, sa kabila ng lahat nang nangyari, nanatiling matapat si Job sa Panginoon. Kaya nga, higit pa para sa ating lahat, nanatiling matapat din naman si Jesus.

23. 3. The Cost of Salvation
Some Parallels
Despite everything that happened to Him, Jesus lived a sinless life, one that perfectly embodied the character of God. Jesus was the “express image of His [God’s] person” (Heb. 1:3, NKJV), and thus alone had the righteousness needed for salvation (see Rom. 3:22).
Sa kabila nang lahat na nangyari sa Kanya, si Jesus ay namuhay ng isang walang kasalanang buhay, isa na buong sakdal na binigyang-anyo ang karakter ng Diyos. Si Jesus ang “tunay na larawan ng kanyang [Diyos] likas” (Hebreo 1:3), at sa gayon lang ay merong katuwirang kelangan para sa kaligtasan (tingnan ang Roma 3:22).

24. Some Lessons From Job
Final Words
The book of Job doesn’t stand alone. It’s part of a much greater picture revealed in the Word of God.
And, as part of a grand spiritual and theological, mosaic, it presents us with a powerful message, one with universal appeal, at least for the followers of God. And that message is faithfulness amid adversity.
Huling Pananalita. Hindi tumitindig na nag-iisa ang aklat ng Job. Bahagi ito ng isang mas malaking larawan na naihayag sa Salita ng Diyos. ¶ At, bilang bahagi ng isang malaking espirituwal at teolohikal na mosaik, ipinapakita nito sa atin ang isang makapangyarihang mensahe, isa na may pangkalahatang apela, kahiman sa mga tagasunod ng Diyos. At ang mensaheng ‘yon ay katapatan sa gitna ng paghihirap.
