Job 34
1 Then Elihu continued:
Intuloy pay ni Elihu ti nagsao:
2 “You [three] men who [think that you] [SAR] are very wise, hear me; listen to what I am saying, you men who [say that you] know so much.
“Dumngegkayo iti sasaok, dakayo a masisirib a lallaki; dumngegkayo kaniak dakayo nga addaan pannakaamo.
3 When we [SYN] hear what other people [like you] say, we [RHQ] think carefully about what they say [to determine what is good and what is bad], like we [SYN] taste food [to determine what is good].
Ta mangngeg ti lapayag ti sasao a kas iti dila a ramananna ti taraon.
4 We need to decide [who is saying] what is right and to determine among ourselves what is good/best.
Pilientayo ti nalinteg para iti bagitayo: sukimatentayo ti pagsayaatan ti bagbagitayo.
5 Job has said, ‘I am innocent, but God has refused to judge me fairly/justly.
Ta kinuna ti Job, 'Nalintegak, ngem inikkat ti Dios ti kalintegak.
6 Even though I have always done what is right, he is lying about me. Even though I have not done what is wrong, he has caused me to suffer, and I will certainly die.’
Malaksid kadagiti kalintegak, naibilangak nga ulbod. Saan a maagasan ti sugatko, uray awan basolko.'
7 (Is there any person like Job, who insults others as easily as people accept a drink of water?/There is no person like Job, who insults others as easily as people accept a drink of water.) [RHQ]
Ania a kita ti tao ti kasla kenni Job a nanginom iti pannakalais a kasla danum,
8 He habitually associates with people who do what is evil and spends time with wicked people.
a makikadkadua kadagiti agar-aramid iti dakes, ken makikuykuyog kadagiti nadangkes a tattao?
9 He has said, ‘It is useless for people to try to please God.’
Ta kinunana, 'Awan ti serbina iti maysa a tao iti panagar-aramid iti pagayatan ti Dios.'
10 “So, you men who [claim that you] understand everything, listen to me! Almighty God would never consider doing anything that is wicked or wrong [DOU]!
Isu a dumngegkayo kaniak, dakayo a tattao a makaawat: adayo nga agaramid ti Dios iti kinadangkes; adayo nga agaramid ti Mannakabalin amin iti basol.
11 He (pays back/punishes) people for what they have done; he gives them what they deserve for the way that they have conducted their lives.
Ta baybayadanna ti trabaho ti maysa a tao; gungunnaanna ti tunggal tao a kas maiyannurot kadagiti bukodna a wagas.
12 Truly, Almighty God never does what is wicked; he always [LIT] does what is fair/just.
Pudno, awan ti ar-aramiden ti Dios a kinadangkes, wenno saan a balballikugen ti Mannakabalin amin ti hustisia.
13 The authority that he has to rule everything on the earth, no one [RHQ] gave it to him; no one [RHQ] put him in control of the whole world. [He has always had that authority].
Siasino ti nangisaad kenkuana nga agturay iti daga? Siasino ti nangikabil iti lubong iti turayna?
14 If he would take his spirit back to himself,
No ti amin a panpanunotenna ket para laeng kenkuana, ken no ibabawina ti espirituna ken angesna,
15 everyone would die [immediately], and their corpses would soon become dirt again.
ket mapukaw amin a lasag; agsubli manen ti sangkataoan iti tapok.
16 “So, [Job], if [you say that you] understand everything, listen to what I am saying.
No ita ket addaanka ti pannakaawat, denggem daytoy; alingagem dagiti sasaok.
17 God could certainly not [RHQ] govern the world if he hated doing what is fair/just. So, will you condemn God, who is righteous and powerful, [saying that what he has done is wrong]?
Makaituray kadi ti maysa a tao a gumugura iti hustisia? Pabasulem kadi ti Dios a nalinteg ken nabileg?
18 He tells [some] kings that they are worthless, and he says to [some] officials that they are wicked.
Ti Dios a nangibaga iti maysa nga ari, 'Managbasolka,' wenno mangibaga kadagiti natakneng, 'Nadangkeskayo'?
19 He does not favor rulers [more than he favors others]; he does not favor rich people more than poor people, because he created all of them.
Ti Dios a saan a mangidumduma kadagiti papangulo ken saanna a bigbigen a nangatngato dagiti nababaknang a tattao ngem kadagiti nakurapay, ta inaramid ida amin ti imana.
20 People [often] die suddenly; he strikes them at midnight and they die; he even gets rid of mighty people without the help of any humans [SYN].
Mataydanto iti apagdarikmat; masinganto dagiti tattao iti tengnga iti rabii ket mataydanto; maikkatto dagiti nabibileg a tattao, ngem saan a babaen kadagiti ima iti tao.
21 “He sees [MTY] everything that people do; [when we walk, ] he watches every step that we take.
Ta dagiti mata ti Dios ket adda kadagiti wagas ti maysa a tao; makitkitana amin nga addangna.
22 There is no gloom or darkness [DOU] that is so dark that sinners can hide [from him] in that darkness.
Awan ti kinasipnget, awan ti nasipnget a mabalin a paglemmengan dagiti agar-aramid iti dakes.
23 God does not [need to] set a time when we will stand in front of him in order that he may judge us. [He can judge us whenever he wants to].
Ta saanen a kasapulan a sukimaten pay ti Dios ti tao; saanen a kasapulan a a mapan ti siasinoman a tao iti sangoananna para iti pannakaukom.
24 He destroys mighty people without [needing to] investigate [what they have done], and he appoints others to take their places.
Pirsapirsayenna dagiti mabigbigbig a tattao gapu kadagiti aramidda a saanen a kasapulan pay iti nainget a panangsukimat; isublina dagiti dadduma kadagiti bukodda a lugar.
25 Because he [already] knows what they have done, he removes them at night and gets rid of them.
Iti daytoy a wagas, ammonan dagiti naaramidda; ibellengna dagitoy a tattao iti rabii, nadadaeldan.
26 Where [many] people can see it, he strikes/punishes them because of the wicked things that they have done;
Iti imatang dagiti dadduma a tattao, papatayenna ida gapu kadagiti nadangkes nga aramidda a kasla kadagiti kriminal
27 he strikes them because they turned away from doing what he wanted them to do and did not pay attention to any of his commands.
gapu ta simminada manipud kenkuana ken saanda a binigbig ti uray maysa kadagiti wagasna.
28 They [mistreated] the poor people, with the result that those poor people cried out to God [for help], and he heard those afflicted people when they cried out [to him].
Iti daytoy a wagas, naipangngegda kenkuana dagiti asug dagiti napanglaw a tattao, nangngegna dagiti asug dagiti marigrigatan a tattao.
29 But if God decides to do nothing [to punish wicked people], no one can criticize/condemn him. If a godless/wicked man rules a nation, a man who tricks/deceives the people,
No agul-ulimek isuna, siasino ti makababalaw kenkuana? No ilingedna ti rupana, siasino ti makadlaw kenkuana? Iturturayanna ti entero a nasion ken dagiti tattao,
30 and if [God] hides his face [with the result that he does not see that ruler or punish him], no one will be able to prevent that ruler [from doing those things].
tapno saan a makapagturay ti tao nga awan diosna, tapno awan iti makadangran kadagiti tattao.
31 “Job, have you or anyone else ever said to God, ‘I have been punished [for my sins], and I will not sin any more;
Kaspangarigan adda ti agibaga iti Dios, 'Pudno a nagbasolak, ngem saanakon a pulos nga agaramid iti basol;
32 so teach/show me what [sins I have committed]; if I have done anything that is evil, I will not do it any more’?
isurom kaniak dagiti saanko a makitkita; nagbasolak, ngem saankonton a pulos nga aramiden daytoy.'
33 [Job, ] you object to what God has done to you, but do you think that he will do what you want him to do? It is you who must choose [what you say to God], not I; so tell me what you are thinking about this.
Ti panagkunam kadi ket dusaen ti Dios ti basol dayta a tao, agsipud ta saanmo a kayat ti ar-aramiden ti Dios? Masapul a sika ti agpili, saan a siak. Ibagam ngarud ti ammom.
34 “People who have good sense, those who are wise and who listen to what I say, will say to me,
Ibaganto kaniak dagiti tattao a mannakaawat—pudno, ibaganto ti tunggal masirib a makangkangngeg kaniak,
35 ‘Job is speaking ignorantly; what he says is nonsense.’
'Agsasao ni Job iti awan kaes-eskanna; dagiti sasaona ket minamaag.
36 I think that Job should be taken to a court and (put on trial/judged), because he answers [us his friends] like wicked men would answer.
No laeng koma ta maisaklang ni Job iti pangukoman ket maibaga amin dagiti kababassitan a banag iti kasasaadna gapu iti panagsasaona a kasla nadangkes a tattao.
37 To add to the [other] sins that he has committed, he is rebelling [against God]; he shows us that he does not respect God [IDM], making long speeches [saying that God has punished him unjustly].”
Ta naynayunanna ti basolna iti panagsukir; ipalpalakpakna dagiti imana a manglalais iti nagtetengngaantayo; agipenpenpen isuna kadagiti sasao a maibusor iti Dios.”
