Job 34
1 Then Elihu continued:
Intuloy pay ni Elihu ti nagsao:
2 “Hear my words, O wise men; give ear to me, O men of learning.
“Dumngegkayo iti sasaok, dakayo a masisirib a lallaki; dumngegkayo kaniak dakayo nga addaan pannakaamo.
3 For the ear tests words as the mouth tastes food.
Ta mangngeg ti lapayag ti sasao a kas iti dila a ramananna ti taraon.
4 Let us choose for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good.
Pilientayo ti nalinteg para iti bagitayo: sukimatentayo ti pagsayaatan ti bagbagitayo.
5 For Job has declared, ‘I am righteous, yet God has deprived me of justice.
Ta kinuna ti Job, 'Nalintegak, ngem inikkat ti Dios ti kalintegak.
6 Would I lie about my case? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’
Malaksid kadagiti kalintegak, naibilangak nga ulbod. Saan a maagasan ti sugatko, uray awan basolko.'
7 What man is like Job, who drinks up derision like water?
Ania a kita ti tao ti kasla kenni Job a nanginom iti pannakalais a kasla danum,
8 He keeps company with evildoers and walks with wicked men.
a makikadkadua kadagiti agar-aramid iti dakes, ken makikuykuyog kadagiti nadangkes a tattao?
9 For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight in God.’
Ta kinunana, 'Awan ti serbina iti maysa a tao iti panagar-aramid iti pagayatan ti Dios.'
10 Therefore listen to me, O men of understanding. Far be it from God to do wrong, and from the Almighty to act unjustly.
Isu a dumngegkayo kaniak, dakayo a tattao a makaawat: adayo nga agaramid ti Dios iti kinadangkes; adayo nga agaramid ti Mannakabalin amin iti basol.
11 For according to a man’s deeds He repays him; according to a man’s ways He brings consequences.
Ta baybayadanna ti trabaho ti maysa a tao; gungunnaanna ti tunggal tao a kas maiyannurot kadagiti bukodna a wagas.
12 Indeed, it is true that God does not act wickedly, and the Almighty does not pervert justice.
Pudno, awan ti ar-aramiden ti Dios a kinadangkes, wenno saan a balballikugen ti Mannakabalin amin ti hustisia.
13 Who gave Him charge over the earth? Who appointed Him over the whole world?
Siasino ti nangisaad kenkuana nga agturay iti daga? Siasino ti nangikabil iti lubong iti turayna?
14 If He were to set His heart to it and withdraw His Spirit and breath,
No ti amin a panpanunotenna ket para laeng kenkuana, ken no ibabawina ti espirituna ken angesna,
15 all flesh would perish together and mankind would return to the dust.
ket mapukaw amin a lasag; agsubli manen ti sangkataoan iti tapok.
16 If you have understanding, hear this; listen to my words.
No ita ket addaanka ti pannakaawat, denggem daytoy; alingagem dagiti sasaok.
17 Could one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn the just and mighty One,
Makaituray kadi ti maysa a tao a gumugura iti hustisia? Pabasulem kadi ti Dios a nalinteg ken nabileg?
18 who says to kings, ‘You are worthless!’ and to nobles, ‘You are wicked,’
Ti Dios a nangibaga iti maysa nga ari, 'Managbasolka,' wenno mangibaga kadagiti natakneng, 'Nadangkeskayo'?
19 who is not partial to princes and does not favor rich over poor? For they are all the work of His hands.
Ti Dios a saan a mangidumduma kadagiti papangulo ken saanna a bigbigen a nangatngato dagiti nababaknang a tattao ngem kadagiti nakurapay, ta inaramid ida amin ti imana.
20 They die in an instant, in the middle of the night. The people convulse and pass away; the mighty are removed without human hand.
Mataydanto iti apagdarikmat; masinganto dagiti tattao iti tengnga iti rabii ket mataydanto; maikkatto dagiti nabibileg a tattao, ngem saan a babaen kadagiti ima iti tao.
21 For His eyes are on the ways of a man, and He sees his every step.
Ta dagiti mata ti Dios ket adda kadagiti wagas ti maysa a tao; makitkitana amin nga addangna.
22 There is no darkness or deep shadow where the workers of iniquity can hide.
Awan ti kinasipnget, awan ti nasipnget a mabalin a paglemmengan dagiti agar-aramid iti dakes.
23 For God need not examine a man further or have him approach for judgment.
Ta saanen a kasapulan a sukimaten pay ti Dios ti tao; saanen a kasapulan a a mapan ti siasinoman a tao iti sangoananna para iti pannakaukom.
24 He shatters the mighty without inquiry and sets up others in their place.
Pirsapirsayenna dagiti mabigbigbig a tattao gapu kadagiti aramidda a saanen a kasapulan pay iti nainget a panangsukimat; isublina dagiti dadduma kadagiti bukodda a lugar.
25 Therefore, He recognizes their deeds; He overthrows them in the night and they are crushed.
Iti daytoy a wagas, ammonan dagiti naaramidda; ibellengna dagitoy a tattao iti rabii, nadadaeldan.
26 He strikes them for their wickedness in full view,
Iti imatang dagiti dadduma a tattao, papatayenna ida gapu kadagiti nadangkes nga aramidda a kasla kadagiti kriminal
27 because they turned aside from Him and had no regard for any of His ways.
gapu ta simminada manipud kenkuana ken saanda a binigbig ti uray maysa kadagiti wagasna.
28 They caused the cry of the poor to come before Him, and He heard the outcry of the afflicted.
Iti daytoy a wagas, naipangngegda kenkuana dagiti asug dagiti napanglaw a tattao, nangngegna dagiti asug dagiti marigrigatan a tattao.
29 But when He remains silent, who can condemn Him? When He hides His face, who can see Him? Yet He watches over both man and nation,
No agul-ulimek isuna, siasino ti makababalaw kenkuana? No ilingedna ti rupana, siasino ti makadlaw kenkuana? Iturturayanna ti entero a nasion ken dagiti tattao,
30 that godless men should not rule or lay snares for the people.
tapno saan a makapagturay ti tao nga awan diosna, tapno awan iti makadangran kadagiti tattao.
31 Suppose someone says to God, ‘I have endured my punishment; I will offend no more.
Kaspangarigan adda ti agibaga iti Dios, 'Pudno a nagbasolak, ngem saanakon a pulos nga agaramid iti basol;
32 Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do it again.’
isurom kaniak dagiti saanko a makitkita; nagbasolak, ngem saankonton a pulos nga aramiden daytoy.'
33 Should God repay you on your own terms when you have disavowed His? You must choose, not I; so tell me what you know.
Ti panagkunam kadi ket dusaen ti Dios ti basol dayta a tao, agsipud ta saanmo a kayat ti ar-aramiden ti Dios? Masapul a sika ti agpili, saan a siak. Ibagam ngarud ti ammom.
34 Men of understanding will declare to me, and the wise men who hear me will say:
Ibaganto kaniak dagiti tattao a mannakaawat—pudno, ibaganto ti tunggal masirib a makangkangngeg kaniak,
35 ‘Job speaks without knowledge; his words lack insight.’
'Agsasao ni Job iti awan kaes-eskanna; dagiti sasaona ket minamaag.
36 If only Job were tried to the utmost for answering like a wicked man.
No laeng koma ta maisaklang ni Job iti pangukoman ket maibaga amin dagiti kababassitan a banag iti kasasaadna gapu iti panagsasaona a kasla nadangkes a tattao.
37 For he adds rebellion to his sin; he claps his hands among us and multiplies his words against God.”
Ta naynayunanna ti basolna iti panagsukir; ipalpalakpakna dagiti imana a manglalais iti nagtetengngaantayo; agipenpenpen isuna kadagiti sasao a maibusor iti Dios.”
