Job 34
1 And Elihu made answer and said,
Intuloy pay ni Elihu ti nagsao:
2 Give ear, you wise, to my words; and you who have knowledge, give attention to me;
“Dumngegkayo iti sasaok, dakayo a masisirib a lallaki; dumngegkayo kaniak dakayo nga addaan pannakaamo.
3 For words are tested by the ear, as food is tasted by the mouth.
Ta mangngeg ti lapayag ti sasao a kas iti dila a ramananna ti taraon.
4 Let us make the decision for ourselves as to what is right; let us have the knowledge among ourselves of what is good.
Pilientayo ti nalinteg para iti bagitayo: sukimatentayo ti pagsayaatan ti bagbagitayo.
5 For Job has said, I am upright, and it is God who has taken away my right;
Ta kinuna ti Job, 'Nalintegak, ngem inikkat ti Dios ti kalintegak.
6 Though I am right, still I am in pain; my wound may not be made well, though I have done no wrong.
Malaksid kadagiti kalintegak, naibilangak nga ulbod. Saan a maagasan ti sugatko, uray awan basolko.'
7 What man is like Job, a man who freely makes sport of God,
Ania a kita ti tao ti kasla kenni Job a nanginom iti pannakalais a kasla danum,
8 And goes in the company of evil-doers, walking in the way of sinners?
a makikadkadua kadagiti agar-aramid iti dakes, ken makikuykuyog kadagiti nadangkes a tattao?
9 For he has said, It is no profit to a man to take delight in God.
Ta kinunana, 'Awan ti serbina iti maysa a tao iti panagar-aramid iti pagayatan ti Dios.'
10 Now then, you wise, take note; you men of knowledge, give ear to me. Let it be far from God to do evil, and from the Ruler of all to do wrong.
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 he gives to every man the reward of his work, and sees that he gets the fruit of his ways.
Ta baybayadanna ti trabaho ti maysa a tao; gungunnaanna ti tunggal tao a kas maiyannurot kadagiti bukodna a wagas.
12 Truly, God does not do evil, and the Ruler of all is not a false judge.
Pudno, awan ti ar-aramiden ti Dios a kinadangkes, wenno saan a balballikugen ti Mannakabalin amin ti hustisia.
13 Who put the earth into his care, or made him responsible for the world?
Siasino ti nangisaad kenkuana nga agturay iti daga? Siasino ti nangikabil iti lubong iti turayna?
14 If he made his spirit come back to him, taking his breath into himself again,
No ti amin a panpanunotenna ket para laeng kenkuana, ken no ibabawina ti espirituna ken angesna,
15 All flesh would come to an end together, and man would go back to the dust.
ket mapukaw amin a lasag; agsubli manen ti sangkataoan iti tapok.
16 If you are wise, take note of this; give ear to the voice of my words.
No ita ket addaanka ti pannakaawat, denggem daytoy; alingagem dagiti sasaok.
17 How may a hater of right be a ruler? and will you say that the upright Ruler of all is evil?
Makaituray kadi ti maysa a tao a gumugura iti hustisia? Pabasulem kadi ti Dios a nalinteg ken nabileg?
18 He who says to a king, You are an evil-doer; and to rulers, You are sinners;
Ti Dios a nangibaga iti maysa nga ari, 'Managbasolka,' wenno mangibaga kadagiti natakneng, 'Nadangkeskayo'?
19 Who has no respect for rulers, and who gives no more attention to those who have wealth than to the 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 Suddenly they come to an end, even in the middle of the night: the blow comes on the men of wealth, and they are gone, and the strong are taken away without the hand of man.
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 all his steps.
Ta dagiti mata ti Dios ket adda kadagiti wagas ti maysa a tao; makitkitana amin nga addangna.
22 There is no dark place, and no thick cloud, in which the workers of evil may take cover.
Awan ti kinasipnget, awan ti nasipnget a mabalin a paglemmengan dagiti agar-aramid iti dakes.
23 For he does not give man a fixed time to come before him to be judged.
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 sends the strong to destruction without searching out their cause, and puts 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 For he has knowledge of their works, overturning them in the night, so that they are crushed.
Iti daytoy a wagas, ammonan dagiti naaramidda; ibellengna dagitoy a tattao iti rabii, nadadaeldan.
26 The evil-doers are broken by his wrath, he puts his hand on them with force before the eyes of all onlookers.
Iti imatang dagiti dadduma a tattao, papatayenna ida gapu kadagiti nadangkes nga aramidda a kasla kadagiti kriminal
27 Because they did not go after him, and took no note of his ways,
gapu ta simminada manipud kenkuana ken saanda a binigbig ti uray maysa kadagiti wagasna.
28 So that the cry of the poor might come up to him, and the prayer of those in need come to his ears.
Iti daytoy a wagas, naipangngegda kenkuana dagiti asug dagiti napanglaw a tattao, nangngegna dagiti asug dagiti marigrigatan a tattao.
No agul-ulimek isuna, siasino ti makababalaw kenkuana? No ilingedna ti rupana, siasino ti makadlaw kenkuana? Iturturayanna ti entero a nasion ken dagiti tattao,
tapno saan a makapagturay ti tao nga awan diosna, tapno awan iti makadangran kadagiti tattao.
Kaspangarigan adda ti agibaga iti Dios, 'Pudno a nagbasolak, ngem saanakon a pulos nga agaramid iti basol;
isurom kaniak dagiti saanko a makitkita; nagbasolak, ngem saankonton a pulos nga aramiden daytoy.'
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 knowledge, and all wise men, hearing me, will say,
Ibaganto kaniak dagiti tattao a mannakaawat—pudno, ibaganto ti tunggal masirib a makangkangngeg kaniak,
35 Job's words do not come from knowledge; they are not the fruit of wisdom.
'Agsasao ni Job iti awan kaes-eskanna; dagiti sasaona ket minamaag.
36 May Job be tested to the end, because his answers have been like those of evil men.
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 in addition to his sin, he is uncontrolled in heart; before our eyes he makes sport of God, increasing his words against him.
Ta naynayunanna ti basolna iti panagsukir; ipalpalakpakna dagiti imana a manglalais iti nagtetengngaantayo; agipenpenpen isuna kadagiti sasao a maibusor iti Dios.”
