< Job 7 >

1 Is there not a warfare to man upon earth? And are not his days like the days of a hireling?
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?
2 As a servant who earnestly desires the shadow, and as a hireling who looks for his wages,
Kas ti tagabu a sigagagar nga agtarigagay iti anniniwan ti rabii, kas iti natangdanan a tao a mangur-uray iti tangdanna-
3 so I am made to possess months of misery, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
isu a naaramidak a mangibtur kadagiti bulbulan ti kinakakaasi; naikkanak kadagiti rabii a napnoan iti riribuk.
4 When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? And I am full of tossing to and fro to the dawning of the day.
No agiddaak, kunak iti bagik, 'Kaanoak a bumangon ken kaano nga agleppas ti rabii?’ Alimbasagennak agingga iti pumarbangon.
5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust. My skin closes up, and breaks out afresh.
Nakawesan ti lasagko kadagiti igges ken napuskol a kabkab; timmangken dagiti sugat iti kudilko, ken kalpasanna bumtak, ket agnana.
6 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.
Naparpartak dagiti al-aldawko ngem ti barkilia iti uma-abel; aglabas dagitoy nga awanan iti namnama.
7 O remember that my life is a breath. My eye shall no more see good.
Panunotem O Dios a ti biagko ket anges laeng; awanen ti nasayaat a makita ti matak.
8 The eye of him who sees me shall behold me no more. Thine eyes shall be upon me, but I shall not be.
Ti mata ti Dios, a kumitkita kaniak, saannakton a makita; kitaennakto dagiti mata ti Dios, ngem awanakto.
9 As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he who goes down to Sheol shall come up no more. (Sheol h7585)
Kas iti ulep a marunaw ken agpukaw, kasta met a ti bumaba iti sheol ket saanton a maka-subli pay. (Sheol h7585)
10 He shall return no more to his house, nor shall his place know him any more.
Saanton a makasubli isuna iti balayna; uray ti lugarna ket saandanton nga am-ammo isuna.
11 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth. I will speak in the anguish of my spirit. I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
Ngarud, saanko a lapdan ti ngiwatko; agsaoak iti ladingit ti espirituk; agreklamoak iti kinasaem ti kararuak.
12 Am I a sea, or a sea-monster, that thou set a watch over me?
Siak kadi ti baybay wenno ti pagbutbutngan iti baybay a nangisaadka iti mangbantay kaniak?
13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me. My couch shall ease my complaint.
Inton kunak, 'Liwliwaennak ti pagiddaak, ken pabang-aran ti papagko ti un-unoyko,'
14 Then thou scare me with dreams, and terrify me through visions,
ket butbutngennak babaen iti tagtagainep ken butbutngennak babaen kadagiti sirmata,
15 so that my soul chooses strangling and death rather than these my bones.
tapno piliek iti mabekkel ken matay ngem ti mangaywan kadagiti tultulangko.
16 I loathe my life. I would not live always. Let me alone, for my days are vanity.
Kagurak ti biagko; saanko a tarigagayan ti kanayon nga agbiag; bay-annak nga agmaymaysa ta awan serserbi dagiti al-aldawko.
17 What is man, that thou should magnify him, and that thou should set thy mind upon him,
Ania aya ti tao a nasken nga ipangagmo isuna, a panpanunutem isuna,
18 and that thou should visit him every morning, and try him every moment?
a sipsiputam isuna iti tunggal agsapa, ken susuotem iti tunggal kanito?
19 How long will thou not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
Kasano pay kabayag sakbay nga iyadayom ti panagkitam kaniak, sakbay a palubosannak nga agmaymaysa iti apag biit a mangtilmon iti bukodko a katay?
20 If I have sinned, what do I do to thee, O thou watcher of men? Why have thou set me as a mark for thee, so that I am a burden to myself?
Uray no nagbasolak, ania koma ti maaramidanna kenka dayta, sika a mangbuybuya kadagiti tattao? Apay a siak ti punteriam, tapno agbalinak a dadagsen kenka?
21 And why do thou not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? For now I shall lie down in the dust, and thou will seek me diligently, but I shall not be.
Apay a saanmo a pakawanen ti naglabsingak ken ikkaten ti kinadakesko? Ta ita agiddaakon iti tapok; birukennakto iti kasta unay, ngem awanakton.”
