Job 3
1 Kalpasan daytoy, nagsao ni Job ket inlunodna ti aldaw a pannakaiyanakna.
Finally, Job spoke, and he cursed the day that he was born.
2 Kinunana:
He said,
3 “Mapukaw koma ti aldaw a pannakaiyanakko, ti rabii a nagkuna, 'Adda ubing a lalaki a naisikog.'
“I wish that the day when I was born could be eradicated, and also the night when I was conceived.
4 Agbalin koma a kinasipnget dayta nga aldaw; saan koma a malagip ti Dios manipud iti ngato daytoy, wenno saan koman a lawagan ti init daytoy.
I wish that the day when I was born would have been covered in darkness. I wish that God who is in heaven [MTY] would have forgotten about that day, and that the sun would not have shone on it.
5 Tagikuaen koma daytoy iti kinasipnget ken ti anniniwan ti patay; agnaed koma ti ulep iti daytoy; butbutngen koma nga agpayso daytoy dagiti amin a banag a mangpaspasipnget iti aldaw.
I wish that thick/intense darkness would have filled that day, and that a black cloud would have come over it and blotted out all light and caused people to be terrified.
6 Maipapan iti dayta a rabii, tiliwen koma daytoy iti nakaro a kinasipnget: saan koma nga agrag-o dayta kadagiti aldaw ti tawen; saan koma nga umay daytoy iti bilang dagiti bulan.
I wish that the night when I was conceived would be erased from the calendar, with the result that it would never again appear as one night in any month, and that it would not be included in any calendar.
7 Adtoy, aglupes koma dayta a rabii; awan koma ti naragsak a timek a dumteng iti daytoy.
I wish that no child would again be conceived on that night of the month [MET], and that no one would again be happy on that night.
8 Ilunodda koma dayta nga aldaw, dagiti makaammo no kasano ti mangriing iti Leviatan.
I want those people who (curse/put evil spells on) days—those who know how to arouse/awaken the great sea monster—to curse that day.
9 Sumipnget koma dagiti bituen ti sardam iti dayta nga aldaw. Agsapul koma dayta nga aldaw iti lawag, ngem awan ti masarakanna; wenno saanna koma makita dagiti kalub ti mata ti parbangon,
I wish that the stars that shone early in the morning on that day [after I was conceived] will not shine again. I want those stars to have wished in vain for light to shine; and that they would not have shone on that day.
10 gapu ta saanna nga inrikep ti aanakan ti inak, wenno saanna nga inlemmeng ti riribuk manipud kadagiti matak.
[That was an evil day] because my mother was able to conceive; instead, I was born, and I have now experienced all these terrible things.
11 Apay a saanak a natay idi rimuarak manipud iti aanakan? Apay a saanko nga inyawat ti espirituk idi impasngaynak ti inak?
“I wish that I had died [RHQ] when I was born— at the time I emerged from my mother’s womb.
12 Apay nga inawatnak dagiti tumengna? Wenno apay a pinasangbaynak dagiti susona tapno agsusoak kadagitoy?
I wish that my mother had not [RHQ] allowed me to live. I wish that she had not nursed me.
13 Ta nakaiddaak koma itan a siuulimek; nakaturogak koman ken agin-inana
If I had died at the time when I was born, I would be asleep, resting peacefully [in the place where the dead people are].
14 a kadua dagiti ari ken dagiti mammagbaga iti daga, a nangipatakder kadagiti pagitaneman a para kadagiti bagida a madaddadaelen ita.
I would be resting with kings whose [beautiful palaces] that they built are now in ruins (OR, who rebuilt [palaces] that had previously been destroyed), and I would be resting with their officials [who have also died].
15 Wenno nakaiddaak koman a kaduak dagiti prinsipe nga addaan idi iti balitok, a nangpunno kadagiti balbalayda iti pirak.
I would be resting with princes who were wealthy, whose palaces were filled with gold and silver.
16 Wenno mabalin a natayak koman iti tiyan ti inak, kasla kadagiti maladaga a saan pulos a nakakita iti lawag.
I wish that I had been buried like a child who died in its mother’s womb and never lived to see the light.
17 Sadiay, agsardeng dagiti nadangkes manipud iti panangriribuk; agin-inana sadiay dagiti nabannog.
After wicked people die, they do not cause any more troubles; those who are very tired now will rest.
18 Natalna a sangsangkamaysa sadiay dagiti balud; saanda a mangmangngeg ti timek ti agmanmando.
Those who were in prison rest peacefully [after they die]; they no longer have slave-drivers who curse them.
19 Adda sadiay dagiti nanumo ken natan-ok a tattao; nawaya sadiay ti adipen manipud iti amona.
Rich people and poor people are alike after they die, and those who were slaves are no longer controlled by their masters.
20 Apay a naited ti lawag kenkuana nga agrigrigat; apay a naited ti biag iti maysa a tao a nanpnoan ti pait ti kararruana;
(“Why does God allow those who are suffering greatly [like me] to continue to remain alive?/I do not understand why God allows those who are suffering greatly [like me] to continue to remain alive.) [RHQ] Why does he allow those who are very miserable/distressed to keep living [RHQ]?
21 iti maysa a tao nga agkalkalikagum iti patay, ngem saan a dumteng; iti maysa a tao nga ad-adda nga agsapsapul iti patay ngem kadagiti agsapsapul iti nakalemmeng a gameng?
They long/want to die, but they do not die. They desire to die more than people desire to find a hidden treasure.
22 Apay a naited ti lawag iti maysa a tao nga agragrag-o iti kasta unay ket maragsakan inton masarakanna ti tanem?
When they finally die and are buried, they are very happy.
23 Apay a naited ti lawag iti maysa a tao a ti dalanna ket nakalemmeng, iti maysa a tao nga inaladan ti Dios?
Those who do not know where they are [eventually] going when they die [RHQ], people whom God has forced [MET] to continue to live in misery, (it is not right that they continue to live./why do they continue to live?) [RHQ]
24 Ta napasamak ti panagsenna-ayko imbes a ti pannangan; ti panagasogko ket naibukbok a kasla danum.
I continually cry very much; as a result, I cannot eat; and I can never stop groaning.
25 Ta ti banag a pagbutbutngak ket immay kaniak; ti pagbutbutngak ket immay kaniak.
Things that I always worried might happen to me, have happened to me; things that I always dreaded have happened to me.
26 Saanak a makatalna, saanak a makaulimek, awan ti inanak; immay ketdi ti riribuk.”
Now I have no peace [in my inner being], I have no peace; I cannot rest; instead, I have only troubles.”
