Job 17
1 Naibus ti espirituk, ken aggibusen dagiti al-aldawko; nakasaganan ti tanem a para kaniak.
My breath is exhausted; My days are at an end; The grave is ready for me.
2 Pudno nga adda dagiti mananglalais a kaduak; masapul a kankanayon a makitkita ti matak iti pananggargarida.
Are not revilers before me? And doth not my eye dwell upon their provocations?
3 Mangtedka ita ti maysa a sapata, agbalinka koma a pammatalged a maipaay kaniak; siasino pay iti adda a tumulong kaniak?
Give a pledge, I pray thee; be thou a surety for me with thee; Who is he that will strike hands with me?
4 Ta linapdam O Dios dagiti pusoda manipud ti pannakaawat; saanmonto ngarud itan-ok ida kaniak.
Behold, thou hast blinded their understanding; Therefore thou wilt not suffer them to prevail.
5 Ti mangakusar kadagiti gagayyemna a maipaay iti gunggona, kumapoyto dagiti mata dagiti annakna.
He who delivereth up his friends as a prey, —The eyes of his children shall fail.
6 Ngem inaramidnak a maysa a balikas a kanayon nga us-usaren dagiti tattao, tuptupraanda ti rupak.
He made me the by-word of the people; Yea, I have become their abhorrence.
7 Nakudrep met ti matak gapu iti ladingit; nakuttong dagiti amin a paset ti bagik a kas ti kinakuttong ti aniniwan.
My eye therefore is dim with sorrow, And all my limbs are as a shadow.
8 Agsiddaawto dagiti nalinteg a lallaki gapu iti daytoy; makaungetto ti awan basolna a tao maibusor kadagiti nadangkes a lallaki.
Upright men will be astonished at this, And the innocent will rouse themselves against the wicked.
9 Agtalinaedto ti nalinteg a tao iti dalanna; ad-addanto pay a pumigsa dagiti addaan iti nadalus nga im-ima.
The righteous will also hold on his way, And he that hath clean hands will gather strength.
10 Ngem maipapan kadakayo amin, umaykayo ita; saanakto a makasarak iti masirib a tao kadakayo.
But as for you all, return, I pray! I find not yet among you one wise man.
11 Naglabasen dagiti al-aldawko, naggibusen dagiti panggepko, uray dagiti tartarigagayan ti pusok.
My days are at an end; My plans are broken off; Even the treasures of my heart.
12 Baliwan dagitoy a tattao, dagitoy a mananglalais, ti rabii iti aldaw; ti lawag, kunada nga asideg iti kinasipnget.
Night hath become day to me; The light bordereth on darkness.
13 Agsipud ta kitkitaek ti sheol a kas balayko; agsipud ta inyukradko ti iddak iti kasipngetan, (Sheol h7585)
Yea, I look to the grave as my home; I have made my bed in darkness. (Sheol h7585)
14 agsipud ta imbagak iti abut, 'Sika ti Amak,' ken iti igges, 'Sika ti inak ken kabsatko a babai,'
I say to the pit, Thou art my father! And to the worm, My mother! and, My sister!
15 sadino ngaruden ti ayan ti namnamak? Maipapan ti namnamak, siasino ti makakita ti aniaman?
Where then is my hope? Yea, my hope, who shall see it?
