Job 23
1 Then Job replied again,
Kalpasanna simmungbat ni Job ket kinunana,
2 “Today I am again complaining bitterly/strongly [to God]; I [continue] groaning, but he [SYN] [continues to] (punish me/cause me to suffer).
“Uray ita nga aldaw nasaem ti dayengdengko; nadagdagsen ti panagsagsagabak ngem ti panagas-asugko.
3 I (wish that I knew/want to know) where I could meet/talk with him, so that I could go to the place where he lives.
O, nga ammok koma ti pakasarakak kenkuana! O, a mapanak koma iti ayanna!
4 If I could do that, I would tell him why [I know that] I am innocent; I would tell [MTY] to him all my (arguments/evidence [to show that I have not done what is evil]).
Idatagkonto a siuurnos ti kasasaadko iti sangoananna ken punnoekto ti ngiwatko kadagiti pannakisinnuppiat.
5 Then I would find out what he would reply to me [DOU].
Adalekto dagiti sasao nga isungbatna kaniak ken awatekto no ania ti ibagana kaniak.
6 Would he use his great power to argue with me? No, he would listen to me carefully.
Makisinnuppiatto kadi isuna kaniak iti kinaindaklan ti pannakabalinna? Saan, ipangagnakto.
7 I am (an honest/a righteous) man; so I would be able to discuss things with him [fairly], and then he would declare that I am innocent, [and that decision would endure] forever.
Mabalin a makisinnupiat kenkuana sadiay ti nalinteg a tao. Iti kastoy a wagas, mapakawanakto iti agnanayon babaen ti ukomko.
8 “But, I have gone to the east, and he is not there; I have gone to the west, but I have not found him there.
Kitaenyo, agpadayaak, ngem awan isuna sadiay, ken agpalaudak, ngem saanko a madlaw isuna.
9 I have gone north and I have gone south, but I have not seen him anywhere.
Iti amianan, a pagub-ubraanna, ngem saanko isuna a makita, ken iti abagatan, a paglemlemmenganna tapno saanko isuna a makita.
10 But he knows how I have conducted my life; and when he has finished testing me, [he] will [see that] I [am] as pure as [SIM] gold [whose impurities have all been burned out].
Ngem ammona ti dalan a papanak; inton nasuotnakun, rummuarakto a kasla balitok.
11 I [SYN] have faithfully walked on the path that he showed me; I have not stopped [obeying] him.
Sumursurot a naan-anay ti sakak kadagiti addangna; sinalimetmetak ti dalanna ken saanak a simmiasi.
12 I have always obeyed what he [SYN] commanded; I have treasured the words that he has spoken.
Saanak a nagsukir kadagiti bilin dagiti bibigna; indulinko dagiti sasao ti ngiwatna ditoy pusok.
13 “He never changes. There is no one who can [RHQ] stop him [from doing what he desires]. Whatever he wants to do, he does.
Ngem naidumduma isuna, siasino ti makapabaw-ing kenkuana? No ania dagiti tartarigagayanna, aramidenna.
14 And he will finish doing for me the things that he has planned for me; [and I am sure that] he has thought about doing many things for me.
Ta ipatpatungpalna ti bilinna a maibusor kaniak; adu ti kasla kadagitoy.
15 So I am terrified in his presence; when I think [about what he can do], I am very afraid [DOU].
Ngarud, mabutengak iti presensiana; no panpanunotek isuna, mabutbutengak kenkuana.
16 Almighty God has caused me [SYN] to feel terrified [DOU].
Ta pinakapuy ti Dios ti pusok; pinagbutengnak ti Mannakabalin-amin.
17 [It is as though] there is only thick darkness in front of me, but it is God that I am afraid of, not the darkness.”
Saan a ti sipnget ti nakadadaelak, wenno ti nakaro a kinasipnget ti nangabbong iti rupak.
