Job 11

1 Then Zophar, the Naamathite, answered,

Ket simmungbat ni Zofar a Naamita ket kinunana,

2 "Shouldn't the multitude of words be answered? Should a man full of talk be justified?

“Saan kadi a rumbeng a masungbatan ti kastoy nga adu a sasao? Rumbeng kadi a patien daytoy a tao nga adu ti ibagbagana?

3 Should your boastings make men hold their peace? When you mock, shall no man make you ashamed?

Pagulimeken kadi ti panagpaspasindayawmo dagiti dadduma? No lalaisem ti panursuromi, awan kadi ti mangpabain kenka?

4 For you say, 'My doctrine is pure. I am clean in your eyes.'

Ta ibagbagam ti Dios, 'Nasin-aw ti pammatik, awan ti pakababalawak kadagiti matam.'

5 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against you,

Ngem o, agsao koma ti Dios ket ilukatna dagiti bibigna a maibusor kenka;

6 that he would show you the secrets of wisdom. For true wisdom has two sides. Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.

nga ipakitana kenka dagiti palimed ti kinasirib! Ta naindaklan isuna iti pannakaawat. Ammoem ngarud a basbassit ti dawdawaten ti Dios kenka ngem iti rumbeng kadagiti kinadakesmo.

7 "Can you fathom the mystery of God? Or can you probe the limits of Shaddai?

Maawatam kadi ti Dios babaen iti panangsapsapulmo kenkuana? Maawatam kadi a naan-anay ti Mannakabalin amin?

8 They are high as heaven. What can you do? They are deeper than Sheol. What can you know? (Sheol h7585)

Ti panangammo iti Dios a naan-anay ket nangato a kas kangato ti langit; ania ti maaramidam? Naun-uneg ngem sheol; ania ti maammoam? (Sheol h7585)

9 Its measure is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.

At-atiddug ti rukodna daytoy ngem ti daga, ken nalawlawa ngem ti baybay.

10 If he passes by, or confines, or convenes a court, then who can oppose him?

No lumabas isuna ken ikulongna ti siasinoman, no ayabanna ti siasinoman iti pangukoman, siasino ngarud ti makalapped kenkuana?

11 For he knows false men. He sees iniquity also, even though he doesn't consider it.

Ta am-ammona dagiti palso a tattao, no makakita isuna iti kinadakes, saanna kadi a madlaw daytoy?

12 An empty-headed man becomes wise when a man is born as a wild donkey's colt.

Ngem awan pannakaawat dagiti maag a tattao; maawatanda daytoy no mangipasngay ti atap nga asno iti maysa a tao.

13 "If you set your heart aright, stretch out your hands toward him.

Ngem kaspangarigan inaramidmo ti pusom a nalinteg ken intag-aymo dagita imam iti Dios;

14 If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away. Do not let unrighteousness dwell in your tents.

kaspangarigan ta adda dita imam ti kinadakes, ngem inyadayom daytoy kenka, ket saanmo nga impalubos nga agnaed ti kinasaan a nalinteg kadagiti toldam.

15 Surely then you shall lift up your face without spot; Yes, you shall be steadfast, and shall not fear:

Ket awan duadua nga itangadmonto ti rupam nga awan ti pagilasinan iti bain; wen, napigsakanto ken saan a mabuteng.

16 for you shall forget your misery. You shall remember it as waters that are passed away.

Malipatamto ti kinakakaasim; malagipmonto laeng daytoy a kasla danum a nagayos.

17 Life shall be clearer than the noonday. Though there is darkness, it shall be as the morning.

Nalawlawagto ti biagmo ngem iti katengngaan ti aldaw; uray no adda ti kinasipnget, agbalinto daytoy a kasla ti agsapa.

18 You shall be secure, because there is hope. Yes, you shall search, and shall take your rest in safety.

Natalgedkanto gapu ta adda ti namnama; wen, natalgedkanto ken aginnanakanto a natalged.

19 Also you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid. Yes, many shall court your favor.

Agiddakanto met a natalged, ket awanto ti pagbutngam, pudno, adunto ti mangbiruk iti pabormo.

20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail. They shall have no way to flee. Their hope shall be the giving up of the spirit."

Ngem mapaayto dagiti mata dagiti nadangkes; awanto ti pagtarayanda; ti laeng namnamada ket ti maudi nga anges ti biag.”
