Job 15
1 Ket simmungbat ni Elifaz a Temanita ket kinunana,
Then Eliphaz the Thaemanite answered and said,
2 “Sumungbat aya ti masirib a tao babaen iti awan serserbina a pannakaammo ken punoenna ti bagina iti angin ti daya?
Will a wise man give for answer a [mere] breath of wisdom? and does he fill up the pain of his belly,
3 Agkalintegan aya isuna babaen iti awan serserbina a sasao wenno kadagiti panagsasao nga awan ti nasayaat a maibungana?
reasoning with improper sayings, and with words wherein is no profit?
4 Pudno, kiskissayam ti panagraem iti Dios; laplapdam ti panangutob kenkuana,
Hast not you moreover cast off fear, and accomplished such words before the Lord?
5 ta isursuro ti kinadangkesmo ti ngiwatmo; pilpiliem ti maaddaan iti dila ti tao a nasikap.
You are guilty by the words of your mouth, neither have you discerned the words of the mighty.
6 Uk-ukomennaka ti bukodmo a ngiwat, saan a siak; wen, agsaksi dagiti bukodmo a bibig a maibusor kenka.
Let your own mouth, and not me, reprove you: and your lips shall testify against you.
7 Sika kadi ti umuna a tao a naiyanak? Napaaddaka kadi sakbay dagiti turturod?
What! are you the first man that was born? or were you established before the hills?
8 Nangngegmo kadi ti nalimed a pannakaammo ti Dios? Sika laeng kadi ti tao a masirib?
Or have you heard the ordinance of the Lord? or has God used you as [his] counsellor? and has wisdom come [only] to you?
9 Ania ti ammom a saanmi nga ammo? Ania ti maawatam nga awan met kadakami?
For what know you, that, we know not? or what understand you, which we do not also?
10 Kaduami dagiti ubanan ken dagiti nataengan unayen a tattao a laklakay ngem ti amam.
Truly amongst us [are] both the old and very aged man, more advanced in days than your father.
11 Bassit kadi unay dagiti pangliwliwa ti Dios para kenka, dagiti sasao a naalumamay a para kenka?
You have been scourged for [but] few of your sins: you have spoken haughtily [and] extravagantly.
12 Apay nga ipanawnaka ti pusom? Apay nga agkusilap dagiti matam,
What has your heart dared? or what have your eyes [aimed at],
13 tapno iturongmo ti espiritum a maibusor iti Dios ken iruarmo dagiti kasta a sasao manipud iti ngiwatmo?
that you have vented [your] rage before the Lord, and delivered such words from [your] mouth?
14 Ania ti tao a nadalus koma isuna? Ania isuna a naiyanak iti babai a nalinteg koma isuna?
For who, being a mortal, [is such] that he shall be blameless? or, [who that is] born of a woman, that he should be just?
15 Adtoy, saan nga agtaltalek ti Dios uray kadagiti sasantona; wen, saan a nadalus dagiti langit iti imatangna;
Forasmuch as he trusts not his saints; and the heaven is not pure before him.
16 ad-adda pay a narugit ti maysa a makarimon ken nakillo, ti maysa a tao nga umin-inom iti kinadangkes a kasla danum!
Alas then, abominable and unclean is man, drinking unrighteousness as a draught.
17 Ipakitak kenka; dumngegka kaniak; Ibagakto kenka dagiti banbanag a nakitak,
But I will tell you, listen to me; I will tell you now what I have seen;
18 dagiti banbanag nga imbaga met dagiti mamasirib a lallaki manipud kadagiti ammada, dagiti banbanag a saan nga inlemmeng dagiti kapuonanda.
things wise men say, and their fathers have not hidden.
19 Dagitoy dagiti kapuonanda, nga isu laeng ti nakaitedan ti daga, ken awan a pulos ti gangganaet a limmabas kadakuada.
To them alone the earth was given, and no stranger came upon them.
20 Agtiritir ti ut-ot ti nadangkes a tao kadagiti amin nga al-aldawna, ti bilang dagiti tawtawen a naisagana a maipaay iti panagsagaba ti mangparparigat.
All the life of the ungodly [is spent] in care, and the years granted to the oppressor are numbered.
21 Adda kadagiti lapayagna ti uni dagiti pamutbuteng; bayat iti kinarang-ayna, umayto kenkuana ti managdadael.
And his terror is in his ears: just when he seems to be at peace, his overthrow will come.
22 Saanna a panpanunoten nga agsublinto isuna manipud iti kinasipnget; agur-uray ti kampilan kenkuana.
Let him not trust that he shall return from darkness, for he has been already made over to the power of the sword.
23 Mapan isuna iti nadumaduma a disso para iti tinapay, a kunkunana, “Sadinno ti ayanna daytoy?' Ammona a dandanin umay ti aldaw ti kinasipnget.
And he has been appointed to be food for vultures; and he knows within himself that he is doomed to be a carcass: and a dark day shall carry him away as with a whirlwind.
24 Butbutngen isuna ti rigat ken ut-ot; agballigi dagitoy a maibusor kenkuana, a kas ti ari a nakasagana a makigubat.
Distress also and anguish shall come upon him: he shall fall as a captain in the first rank.
25 Gapu ta inyunnatna ti imana a maibusor iti Dios ken sitatangsit a maibusor iti Mannakabalin amin,
For he has lifted his hands against the Lord, and he has hardened his neck against the Almighty Lord.
26 daytoy a nadangkes a tao ket agtaray a mapan iti Dios a sisisikkel ti tengngedna, nga addaan ti napuskol a kalasag.
And he has run against him with insolence, on the thickness of the back of his shield.
27 Pudno daytoy, uray no kinallubanna ti rupana babaen ti kinalukmegna ken nagurnong ti taba kadagiti lomlomona,
For he has covered his face with his fat, and made layers of fat upon his thighs.
28 ken nagnaed kadagiti nabaybay-an a siudad; kadagiti balbalay nga awan ti agnanaed ita ken nakasagana nga agbalin a gabsuon.
And let him lodge in desolate cities, and enter into houses without inhabitant: and what they have prepared, others shall carry away.
29 Saanto a bumaknang isuna; saanto nga agpaut ti kinabaknangna; saanto pay nga agpaut uray ti aniniwanna iti daga.
Neither shall he at all grow rich, nor shall his substance remain: he shall not cast a shadow upon the earth.
30 Saanto isuna a makapanaw iti kinasipnget; pagangngoento ti apuy dagiti sangsangana; pumanawto isuna gapu iti anges ti ngiwat ti Dios.
Neither shall he in any wise escape the darkness: let the wind blast his blossom, and let his flower fall off.
31 Saan koma nga agtalek isuna kadagiti awan serserbina a banbanag, nga al-allilawenna ti bagina; ta ti kinaawan-mammaayna ket isunto ti gungonana.
Let him not think that he shall endure; for his end shall be vanity.
32 Mapasamakto daytoy sakbay nga umay ti tiempo ti ipapatayna; saanto a lumangto ti sangana.
His harvest shall perish before the time, and his branch shall not flourish.
33 Iregregnanto dagiti naganus nga ubasna a kas iti lanut ti ubas; itinnagnanto dagiti sabsabongna a kas iti kayo ti olibo.
And let him be gathered as the unripe grape before the time, and let him fall as the blossom of the olive.
34 Ta malupesto dagiti bunggoy dagiti awan diosna a tattao; uramento ti apuy dagiti toldada ti pannakapasuksok.
For death is the witness of an ungodly man, and fire shall burn the houses of them that receive gifts.
35 Agsikugda ti kinaranggas ken ipasngayda ti kinadangkes; agsikug ti aanakanda iti panangallilaw.”
And he shall conceive sorrows, and his end shall be vanity, and his belly shall bear deceit.
