Job 7

1 Adda kadi ti saan a narigat a trabaho para iti tunggal tao iti daga? Saan kadi a dagiti al-aldawna ket kas ti al-aldaw ti natangdanan a tao?

Is there not a limited time of service to a mortal upon the earth? Are not his days also like the days of a hired laborer?

2 Kas ti tagabu a sigagagar nga agtarigagay iti anniniwan ti rabii, kas iti natangdanan a tao a mangur-uray iti tangdanna-

As a servant eagerly longeth for the shadow, and as a hired laborer hopeth for his reward:

3 isu a naaramidak a mangibtur kadagiti bulbulan ti kinakakaasi; naikkanak kadagiti rabii a napnoan iti riribuk.

So was I compelled to possess months of vanity, and nights of trouble were counted out unto me.

4 No agiddaak, kunak iti bagik, 'Kaanoak a bumangon ken kaano nga agleppas ti rabii?’ Alimbasagennak agingga iti pumarbangon.

When I He down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am wearied with tossings about till the dawn of day.

5 Nakawesan ti lasagko kadagiti igges ken napuskol a kabkab; timmangken dagiti sugat iti kudilko, ken kalpasanna bumtak, ket agnana.

My flesh is covered with worms and clods of dust: my skin is burst open, and become loathsome.

6 Naparpartak dagiti al-aldawko ngem ti barkilia iti uma-abel; aglabas dagitoy nga awanan iti namnama.

My days hasten away more swiftly than a weaver's shuttle, and they come to an end in the absence of hope.

7 Panunotem O Dios a ti biagko ket anges laeng; awanen ti nasayaat a makita ti matak.

Oh remember that nothing but a breath is my life; that my eye will not again see happiness;

8 Ti mata ti Dios, a kumitkita kaniak, saannakton a makita; kitaennakto dagiti mata ti Dios, ngem awanakto.

The eye of him that seeth me now will not behold me again: [thou fixest] thy eyes upon me, and I am no more.

9 Kas iti ulep a marunaw ken agpukaw, kasta met a ti bumaba iti sheol ket saanton a maka-subli pay. (Sheol h7585)

As the cloud vanisheth and passeth away: so will he that goeth down to the nether world not come up again. (Sheol h7585)

10 Saanton a makasubli isuna iti balayna; uray ti lugarna ket saandanton nga am-ammo isuna.

He will return no more to his house, and his place will not recognize him any more.

11 Ngarud, saanko a lapdan ti ngiwatko; agsaoak iti ladingit ti espirituk; agreklamoak iti kinasaem ti kararuak.

Therefore will I also not restrain my mouth: I will speak in the anguish of my spirit: I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

12 Siak kadi ti baybay wenno ti pagbutbutngan iti baybay a nangisaadka iti mangbantay kaniak?

Am I a sea, or a monster, that thou settest a watch over me?

13 Inton kunak, 'Liwliwaennak ti pagiddaak, ken pabang-aran ti papagko ti un-unoyko,'

For should I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall help me bear my complaint:

14 ket butbutngennak babaen iti tagtagainep ken butbutngennak babaen kadagiti sirmata,

Then wouldst thou frighten me with dreams, and with visions wouldst thou terrify me;

15 tapno piliek iti mabekkel ken matay ngem ti mangaywan kadagiti tultulangko.

So that my soul would choose strangling, death rather than these limbs of mine.

16 Kagurak ti biagko; saanko a tarigagayan ti kanayon nga agbiag; bay-annak nga agmaymaysa ta awan serserbi dagiti al-aldawko.

I loathe it; I cannot live for ever: let me alone; for my days are but nought.

17 Ania aya ti tao a nasken nga ipangagmo isuna, a panpanunutem isuna,

What is the mortal, that thou shouldst make him great? and that thou shouldst direct thy heart toward him?

18 a sipsiputam isuna iti tunggal agsapa, ken susuotem iti tunggal kanito?

And that thou shouldst visit him every morning, probe him every moment?

19 Kasano pay kabayag sakbay nga iyadayom ti panagkitam kaniak, sakbay a palubosannak nga agmaymaysa iti apag biit a mangtilmon iti bukodko a katay?

How long wilt thou not turn thy regard from me, nor let; me loose till I swallow down my spittle?

20 Uray no nagbasolak, ania koma ti maaramidanna kenka dayta, sika a mangbuybuya kadagiti tattao? Apay a siak ti punteriam, tapno agbalinak a dadagsen kenka?

If I have sinned, what [injury] can I cause unto thee, O thou Guardian of men? why hast thou set me as an object for thee to strike at, so that I am become a burden to myself?

21 Apay a saanmo a pakawanen ti naglabsingak ken ikkaten ti kinadakesko? Ta ita agiddaakon iti tapok; birukennakto iti kasta unay, ngem awanakton.”

And why wilt thou not forgive my transgression, and let my iniquity pass away? for soon must I lie down in the dust; and thou wilt seek for me, but I shall be no more.
