Job 20
1 Ket simmungbat ni Zofar a Naamatita ket kinunana,
Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
2 “Pasungbatennak a dagus dagiti kapanunotak gapu iti pakadanagan nga adda kaniak.
Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me, even by reason of my haste that is in me.
3 Nakangngegak kenka iti panagtubngar a nangibabain kaniak, ngem sinungbatannak ti espiritu a nangatngato ngem iti pannakaawatko.
I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame, and the spirit of my understanding answereth me.
4 Saanmo kadi nga ammo daytoy a kinapudno manipud idi un-unana a panawen, idi inkabil ti Dios ti tao iti daga:
Knowest thou [not] this of old time, since man was placed upon earth,
5 ti panagballigi ti nadangkes a tao ket ababa, ken ti rag-o ti awan diosna a tao ket apagbiit laeng?
That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the godless but for a moment?
6 Uray no dumanon ti kinatayagna kadagiti langlangit, ken tumukno ti ulona kadagiti ulep,
Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;
7 ngem mapukawto ti kasta a tao iti agnanayon a kas iti bukodna a takki; ibaganto dagiti nakakita kenkuana, 'Sadino ti ayanna?'
Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?
8 Tumayabto isuna a kasla tagtagainep ket saanto a masarakan; kinapudnona, mapukawto isuna a kasla iti sirmata iti rabii.
He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
9 Ti mata a nakakita kenkuana ket saannanton a makita pay isuna; saanton a makita pay isuna ti lugarna.
The eye which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
10 Agkiddawto iti pammakawan dagiti annakna kadagiti nakurapay a tattao; isublinto dagiti imana ti kinabaknangna.
His children shall seek the favour of the poor, and his hands shall give back his wealth.
11 Napno iti pigsa ti kinaagtutubo dagiti tultulangna, ngem kaduananto daytoy nga agidda iti tapok.
His bones are full of his youth, but it shall lie down with him in the dust.
12 Uray no nasam-it ti kinadangkes iti ngiwatna, uray no ilemmengna dagitoy iti sirok ti dilana,
Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
13 uray no tenglenna dagitoy sadiay ken saanna a palubosan ngem idulinna latta iti ngiwatna—
Though he spare it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within his mouth;
14 agbalin a napait ti taraon nga adda kadagiti bagisna; agbalin daytoy a sabidong dagiti uleg iti unegna.
Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.
15 Alun-onenna dagiti kinabaknang, ngem isaruananto manen dagitoy; Ikkatento ti Dios dagitoy iti tianna.
He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
16 Susupennanto ti sabidong dagiti uleg; patayento isuna ti dila ti uleg.
He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper’s tongue shall slay him.
17 Saanto isuna nga agbiag tapno ragsakenna a kitaen dagiti karayan ken dagiti waig nga agay-ayus iti diro ken mantikilia.
He shall not look upon the rivers, the flowing streams of honey and butter.
18 Aniaman a nagbannoganna, masapul nga isublinanto dagitoy; saannanto a tilmonen daytoy; saanto nga agrag-o isuna iti kinabaknang a nagun-odna.
That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down; according to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice.
19 Ta indadanes ken inlaksidna dagiti nakurapay a tattao; siraranggas nga innalana dagiti babbalay a saanna nga impatakder.
For he hath oppressed and forsaken the poor; he hath violently taken away an house, and he shall not build it up.
20 Gapu ta saanna nga ammo ti pannakapnek iti bagina, saanto a makaidulin isuna iti aniaman a banag a pakaragsakanna.
Because he knew no quietness within him, he shall not save aught of that wherein he delighteth.
21 Awan pulos iti nabati a saanna nga inalun-on; ngarud, saanto nga agnanayon ti kinarang-ayna.
There was nothing left that he devoured not; therefore his prosperity shall not endure.
22 Iti kinaaglaplapusanan ti kinabaknangna, matnagto isuna iti pakariribukan; umayto kenkuana ti ima ti tunggal maysa a napanglaw.
In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: the hand of every one that is in misery shall come upon him.
23 No dandaninan punoen ti tianna, ipalladawto ti Dios ti narungsot a pungtotna kenkuana; patudoento ti Dios daytoy kenkuana kabayatan a mangmangan isuna.
When he is about to fill his belly, [God] shall cast the fierceness of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.
24 Uray no maitarayanto dayta a tao ti igam a landok, ti bai a bronse ti mangpana kenkuana.
He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of brass shall strike him through.
25 Tudokento ti pana ti likodanna ket rummuarto; kinapudnona, sumalpotto ti nasileng a murdong iti dalemna; umayto kenkuana dagiti kabutbuteng.
He draweth it forth, and it cometh out of his body: yea, the glittering point cometh out of his gall; terrors are upon him.
26 Naan-anay a kinasipnget ti nakasagana para kadagiti gamgamengna; ti apuy a saan a napuyotan ti manguramto kenkuana; ibusento ti apuy dagiti nabati iti toldana.
All darkness is laid up for his treasures: a fire not blown [by man] shall devour him; it shall consume that which is left in his tent.
27 Iparangto dagiti langit ti kinadakesna, ken tumakderto ti daga a kas saksi a maibusor kenkuana.
The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and the earth shall rise up against him.
28 Mapukawto ti kinabaknang iti balayna; maiyanudto dagiti sanikuana iti aldaw ti pungtot ti Dios.
The increase of his house shall depart, [his goods] shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
29 Daytoy ti bingay ti nadangkes a tao manipud iti Dios, ti tawid nga insagana ti Dios a para kenkuana.”
This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
