< Job 6 >

1 Then Job answered,
Ket simmungbat ni Job ket kinunana,
2 "Oh that my anguish were weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances.
“O, no maitimbang laeng ti ladingitko; no maiparabaw laeng iti timbangan dagiti didigrak!
3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas, therefore have my words been rash.
Ta ita, mabalin a nadagdagsen daytoy ngem kadagiti darat kadagiti baybay. Dayta ti makagapo a nagubsang dagiti sasaok.
4 For the arrows of Shaddai are within me. My spirit drinks up their poison. The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.
Ta adda kaniak dagiti pana ti Mannakabalin amin, umin-inom ti espirituk iti sabidong; inyurnos dagiti didigra ti Dios dagiti bagbagida nga agsasaruno a maibusor kaniak.
5 Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass? Or does the ox low over his fodder?
Aguga kadi ti atap nga asno no adda ruotna? Wenno agemmak kadi iti bisinna ti baka no adda taraonna?
6 Can that which has no flavor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
Mabalin kadi a kanen ti natamnay nga awan asinna? Wenno adda kadi ti aniaman a ramanna ti puraw iti itlog?
7 My soul refuses to touch them. They are as loathsome food to me.
Agkedkedak a mangsagid kadagitoy; kasla makarimon a taraon dagitoy kaniak.
8 "Oh that I might have my request, that God would grant the thing that I long for,
O, a maadda koma kaniak ti kiddawko; o, patgan koma ti Dios ti banag a tartarigagayak:
9 even that it would please God to crush me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off.
a makaay-ayo koma iti Dios a rumekennak a mammaminsan, a palukayanna koma dagiti imana ket putdennakon manipud iti daytoy a biag!
10 Be it still my consolation, yes, let me exult in pain that doesn't spare, that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
Daytoy latta koman ti mangliwliwa kaniak- uray no agrag-oak iti ut-ot a saan a makiskissayan: a saanko nga inlibak dagiti sasao ti Nasantoan.
11 What is my strength, that I should wait? What is my end, that I should be patient?
Ania ti pigsak, a nasken a padasek iti aguray? Ania ti paggibusak, a nasken a paatiddugek ti biagko?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh of bronze?
Ti kadi pigsak ket pigsa dagiti bato? Wenno naaramid kadi iti bronse ti lasagko?
13 Isn't it that I have no help in me, That wisdom is driven quite from me?
Pudno kadi a saanko a matulungan ti bagik, ken naikkaten kaniak ti kinasirib?
14 "To the despairing, kindness should be shown from his friend; even to him who forsakes the fear of Shaddai.
Iti tao a dandanin matalimudaw, rumbeng nga ipakita dagiti gayyemna ti kinapudno; uray kenkuana a nanglaksid iti panagbuteng iti Mannakabalin amin.
15 My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, as the channel of brooks that pass away;
Ngem nagbalin a napudno kaniak dagiti kakabsatko a kas iti nagayusan ti waig iti disierto, kasla dalan ti danum a mamagaan,
16 Which are black by reason of the ice, in which the snow hides itself.
a limmibeg gapu iti panangkalob ti yelo kadagitoy, ken gapu kadagiti niebe nga aglemlemmeng kadagitoy.
17 In the dry season, they vanish. When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
Inton marunawda, mapukawda; inton pumudot, marunawda iti ayanda.
18 The caravans that travel beside them turn aside. They go up into the waste, and perish.
Sumiasi dagiti bunggoy dagiti agdaldaliasat iti dalanda nga agbirok iti danum; agalla-allada iti langalang a daga ket kalpasanna mapukawda.
19 The caravans of Tema looked. The companies of Sheba waited for them.
Nagbirok sadiay dagiti bunggoy dagiti agdaldaliasat a naggapu idiay Tema, kabayatan a nangnamnama kadakuada dagiti bunggoy ti Saba.
20 They were distressed because they were confident. They came there, and were confounded.
Naupayda gapu ta mamatida a makabirokda iti danum; Napanda sadiay, ngem naallilawda.
21 For now you are nothing. You see a terror, and are afraid.
Ta ita dakayo a gagayyemko ket awan serserbiyo kaniak; nakitayo ti nakaam-amak a kasasaadko ket nagbutengkayo.
22 Did I say, 'Give to me?' or, 'Offer a present for me from your substance?'
Imbagak kadi kadakayo, 'Ikkandak iti maysa a banag? Wenno, 'Mangidiayakayo iti sagut kaniak manipud kadagiti kinabaknangyo?
23 or, 'Deliver me from the adversary's hand?' or, 'Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors?'
Wenno, 'Isalakandak manipud iti ima dagiti kabusorko? Wenno, 'Sakaendak manipud kadagiti ima dagiti mangidaddadanes kaniak?’
24 "Teach me, and I will hold my peace. Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
Isurodak, ket agulimekak, ipakaawatyo kaniak dagiti nagbiddutak.
25 How forcible are words of uprightness. But your reproof, what does it reprove?
Anian a nagsakit dagiti napudno a sasao! Ngem dagiti panagrasrasonyo, kasano a mababalawdak?
26 Do you intend to reprove words, seeing that the speeches of one who is desperate are as wind?
Panggepyo kadi a saan nga ikankano dagiti sasaok, tratratoenyo kadi dagiti sasao ti maup-upay a tao a kasla angin?
27 Yes, you would even cast lots for the fatherless, and make merchandise of your friend.
Pudno, paggiginnasatanyo ti ulila nga ubing, ken makitinnawarkayo kadagiti gagayyemyo a kasla tagilako.
28 Now therefore be pleased to look at me, for surely I shall not lie to your face.
Ita ngarud, pangngaasiyo ta kitaendak, ta awan duadau a saanak nga agulbod iti rupayo.
29 Please return. Let there be no injustice. Yes, return again. My cause is righteous.
Agtalnakayo, agpakpakaasiak kadakayo; awan koma iti kinakillo kadakayo; Pudno, agtalnakayo, ta nalintegak.
30 Is there injustice on my tongue? Can't my taste discern mischievous things?
Adda kadi kinadakes iti dilak? Saan kadi a madlaw ti ngiwatko dagiti mapagduadua-an a banbanag?
