< Job 7 >

1 [Is there] not an appointed time to man upon earth? [are not] his days also like the days of an hireling?
Adda kadi ti saan a narigat a trabaho para iti tunggal tao iti daga? Saan kadi a dagiti al-aldawna ket kas ti al-aldaw ti natangdanan a tao?
2 As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for [the reward of] his work:
Kas ti tagabu a sigagagar nga agtarigagay iti anniniwan ti rabii, kas iti natangdanan a tao a mangur-uray iti tangdanna-
3 So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
isu a naaramidak a mangibtur kadagiti bulbulan ti kinakakaasi; naikkanak kadagiti rabii a napnoan iti riribuk.
4 When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.
No agiddaak, kunak iti bagik, 'Kaanoak a bumangon ken kaano nga agleppas ti rabii?’ Alimbasagennak agingga iti pumarbangon.
5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.
Nakawesan ti lasagko kadagiti igges ken napuskol a kabkab; timmangken dagiti sugat iti kudilko, ken kalpasanna bumtak, ket agnana.
6 My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.
Naparpartak dagiti al-aldawko ngem ti barkilia iti uma-abel; aglabas dagitoy nga awanan iti namnama.
7 O remember that my life [is] wind: mine eye shall no more see good.
Panunotem O Dios a ti biagko ket anges laeng; awanen ti nasayaat a makita ti matak.
8 The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no [more: ] thine eyes [are] upon me, and I [am] not.
Ti mata ti Dios, a kumitkita kaniak, saannakton a makita; kitaennakto dagiti mata ti Dios, ngem awanakto.
9 [As] the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no [more]. (Sheol h7585)
Kas iti ulep a marunaw ken agpukaw, kasta met a ti bumaba iti sheol ket saanton a maka-subli pay. (Sheol h7585)
10 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.
Saanton a makasubli isuna iti balayna; uray ti lugarna ket saandanton nga am-ammo isuna.
11 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
Ngarud, saanko a lapdan ti ngiwatko; agsaoak iti ladingit ti espirituk; agreklamoak iti kinasaem ti kararuak.
12 [Am] I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?
Siak kadi ti baybay wenno ti pagbutbutngan iti baybay a nangisaadka iti mangbantay kaniak?
13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;
Inton kunak, 'Liwliwaennak ti pagiddaak, ken pabang-aran ti papagko ti un-unoyko,'
14 Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:
ket butbutngennak babaen iti tagtagainep ken butbutngennak babaen kadagiti sirmata,
15 So that my soul chooseth strangling, [and] death rather than my life.
tapno piliek iti mabekkel ken matay ngem ti mangaywan kadagiti tultulangko.
16 I loathe [it; ] I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days [are] vanity.
Kagurak ti biagko; saanko a tarigagayan ti kanayon nga agbiag; bay-annak nga agmaymaysa ta awan serserbi dagiti al-aldawko.
17 What [is] man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?
Ania aya ti tao a nasken nga ipangagmo isuna, a panpanunutem isuna,
18 And [that] thou shouldest visit him every morning, [and] try him every moment?
a sipsiputam isuna iti tunggal agsapa, ken susuotem iti tunggal kanito?
19 How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
Kasano pay kabayag sakbay nga iyadayom ti panagkitam kaniak, sakbay a palubosannak nga agmaymaysa iti apag biit a mangtilmon iti bukodko a katay?
20 I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?
Uray no nagbasolak, ania koma ti maaramidanna kenka dayta, sika a mangbuybuya kadagiti tattao? Apay a siak ti punteriam, tapno agbalinak a dadagsen kenka?
21 And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I [shall] not [be].
Apay a saanmo a pakawanen ti naglabsingak ken ikkaten ti kinadakesko? Ta ita agiddaakon iti tapok; birukennakto iti kasta unay, ngem awanakton.”
