Job 23
1 And Job made answer and said,
Kalpasanna simmungbat ni Job ket kinunana,
2 Even today my outcry is bitter; his hand is hard on my sorrow.
“Uray ita nga aldaw nasaem ti dayengdengko; nadagdagsen ti panagsagsagabak ngem ti panagas-asugko.
3 If only I had knowledge of where he might be seen, so that I might come even to his seat!
O, nga ammok koma ti pakasarakak kenkuana! O, a mapanak koma iti ayanna!
4 I would put my cause in order before him, and my mouth would be full of arguments.
Idatagkonto a siuurnos ti kasasaadko iti sangoananna ken punnoekto ti ngiwatko kadagiti pannakisinnuppiat.
5 I would see what his answers would be, and have knowledge of what he would say to me.
Adalekto dagiti sasao nga isungbatna kaniak ken awatekto no ania ti ibagana kaniak.
6 Would he make use of his great power to overcome me? No, but he would give attention to me.
Makisinnuppiatto kadi isuna kaniak iti kinaindaklan ti pannakabalinna? Saan, ipangagnakto.
7 There an upright man might put his cause before him; and I would be free for ever from my judge.
Mabalin a makisinnupiat kenkuana sadiay ti nalinteg a tao. Iti kastoy a wagas, mapakawanakto iti agnanayon babaen ti ukomko.
8 See, I go forward, but he is not there; and back, but I do not see him;
Kitaenyo, agpadayaak, ngem awan isuna sadiay, ken agpalaudak, ngem saanko a madlaw isuna.
9 I am looking for him on the left hand, but there is no sign of him; and turning to the right, I am not able to see him.
Iti amianan, a pagub-ubraanna, ngem saanko isuna a makita, ken iti abagatan, a paglemlemmenganna tapno saanko isuna a makita.
10 For he has knowledge of the way I take; after I have been tested I will come out like gold.
Ngem ammona ti dalan a papanak; inton nasuotnakun, rummuarakto a kasla balitok.
11 My feet have gone in his steps; I have kept in his way, without turning to one side or to the other.
Sumursurot a naan-anay ti sakak kadagiti addangna; sinalimetmetak ti dalanna ken saanak a simmiasi.
12 I have never gone against the orders of his lips; the words of his mouth have been stored up in my heart.
Saanak a nagsukir kadagiti bilin dagiti bibigna; indulinko dagiti sasao ti ngiwatna ditoy pusok.
13 But his purpose is fixed and there is no changing it; and he gives effect to the desire of his soul.
Ngem naidumduma isuna, siasino ti makapabaw-ing kenkuana? No ania dagiti tartarigagayanna, aramidenna.
14 For what has been ordered for me by him will be gone through to the end: and his mind is full of such designs.
Ta ipatpatungpalna ti bilinna a maibusor kaniak; adu ti kasla kadagitoy.
15 For this cause I am in fear before him, my thoughts of him overcome me.
Ngarud, mabutengak iti presensiana; no panpanunotek isuna, mabutbutengak kenkuana.
16 For God has made my heart feeble, and my mind is troubled before the Ruler of all.
Ta pinakapuy ti Dios ti pusok; pinagbutengnak ti Mannakabalin-amin.
17 For I am overcome by the dark, and by the black night which is covering my face.
Saan a ti sipnget ti nakadadaelak, wenno ti nakaro a kinasipnget ti nangabbong iti rupak.
