Job 16
1 Ket simmungbat ni Job ket kinunana,
Then answered Job, and said,
2 “Nakanggegakon kadagiti adu a kakasta a banbanag; nakaay-ay-aykayo amin a mangliwliwa.
I have heard many things such as these: troublesome comforters are ye all.
3 Addanto kadi paggibusan dagiti awan serserbina a sasao? Ania ti parikutmo ta sumungbatka a kas iti daytoy?
Shall there be any end to words of wind? or what compelleth thee that thou shouldst answer?
4 Mabalinko met ti agsao a kas kadakayo, no addakayo iti saadko; Mabalinko nga urnongen ken pagtitiponen dagiti sasao a maibusor kadakayo ken agwingiwingak kadakayo iti pananglais.
I also could well speak as ye do: if your soul were but in my soul's stead, I could overwhelm you with words, and could shake my head at you.
5 O, kasano a pabilgenkayo babaen ti ngiwatko! Kasano a pabang-aren ti panangliwliwa dagiti bibigko ti ladingityo!
But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the condolence of my lips should restrain [your grief].
6 No agsaoak, saan a mabang-aran ti ladingitko; no isardengko ti agsasao, kasano a matulonganak?
Though I were to speak, my pain would not be restrained; and though I should forbear, what will go away from me?
7 Ngem ita O Dios, binannognak; binaybay-am amin a pamiliak.
But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
8 Pinagkuretretnak, a maysa a saksi a maibusor kaniak; tumakder ti kinakuttong ti bagik a maibusor kaniak, ken agsaksi daytoy a maibusor iti rupak.
And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, they are my witnesses; and my leanness riseth up for me, giveth its testimony to my face.
9 Pinirsa-pirsaynak ti Dios iti pungtotna ken indadanesnak; Pinagngarietannak babaen ti ngipenna; pinatadem ti kabusorko dagiti matana kabayatan pirpirsayennak.
In his wrath he teareth me to pieces, and assaileth me: he gnasheth over me with his teeth; my adversary sendeth threatening looks at me.
10 Ginuyabandak dagiti tattao; tinungpadak a siuumsi; naguummongda a maibusor kaniak.
They now open wide against me their mouth; reproachfully they smite my cheek: altogether do they assemble against me.
11 Inyawatnak ti Dios kadagiti saan a nadiosan a tattao ken impurruaknak kadagiti ima dagiti nadangkes a tattao.
God hath surrendered me to the unjust, and cast me down into the hands of the wicked.
12 Natalnaak idi, ket binuraknak. Wen, binekkelnak ken indumudomnak a napirsa-pirsay; insaadnak pay a kas pagpuntaan.
I was at ease, but he hath crushed me; he hath also grasped me by the neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up unto himself as a mark;
13 Palpalawlawandak dagiti pumapanana; tudtudoken ti Dios dagiti bekkelko, ken dinak kinaassian; imbukbokna ti aprok iti rabaw ti daga.
His archers encompass me round about; he cleaveth my reins sunder, and doth not pity; he poureth out upon the ground my gall;
14 Burburakenna ti didingko iti paulit-ulit; tumaray isuna nga umay kaniak a kasla maysa a mannakigubat.
He breaketh me down with breach upon breach; he runneth against me like a mighty man.
15 Nangidaitak iti nakirsang a lupot iti rabaw ti kudilko; Intudokko ti sarak iti rabaw iti daga.
Sackcloth have I sewed upon my skin, and my horn I roll in the dust.
16 Nalabaga ti rupak iti panagsangsangit; adda kadagiti kalub ti matak ti aniniwan ni patay
My face gloweth from weeping, and on my eyelids resteth the shadow of death:
17 uray no awan ti kinaranggas kadagiti imak, ken nadalus ti kararagko.
Not because any violence is in my hands, and while my prayer is pure.
18 O daga, saanmo nga abbongan ti darak; awan koma ti disso a paginanaan ti asugko.
Earth! do thou not cover up my blood, and let no place restrain my cry.
19 Uray ita, adtoy, ti saksik ket adda iti langit; ti mangikalintegan kaniak ket adda iti ngato.
Even now, behold, my witness is in the heavens, and one that testifieth for me is on high.
20 Uy-uyawendak dagiti gagayyemko, ngem agar-arubos ti lulua dagiti matak iti Dios.
Are my friends my defenders? unto God my eye poureth out [its tears].
21 Dawatek iti dayta a saksi iti langit nga ikalinteganna daytoy a tao iti Dios a kas ti ar-aramiden ti maysa a tao iti kaarubana!
And oh that a man might plead with God, as one son of earth with the other!
22 Ta no lumabas dagiti sumagmamano a tawtawen, mapanakto iti disso a saanakton a makasubli.
For when the numbered years are passed, then must I travel a path whence I cannot return.
