Job 35
1 And Elihu made answer and said,
Nagtultuloy pay ni Elihu, kinuna,
2 Does it seem to you to be right, and righteousness before God, to say,
“Panagkunam kadi ket awan basolyo? Panagkunam kadi, 'Nalinlintegak ngem ti Dios?'
3 What profit is it to me, and how am I better off than if I had done wrong?
Ta ibagbagam, 'Ania koma ti pagsayaatanna kaniak no nalintegak? Ania ti pagsayaatanna kaniak daytoy ita, ngem no nagbasolak?'
4 I will make answer to you and to your friends:
Sungbatankayo, sika ken dagiti gagayyemmo.
5 Let your eyes be turned to the heavens, and lifted up to see the skies; they are higher than you.
Tumangadkayo iti tangatang, ket kitaenyo daytoy; kitaenyo ti tangatang, a nangatngato ngem kadakayo.
6 If you have done wrong, is he any the worse for it? and if your sins are great in number, what is it to him?
No nakabasolka, ania ti maaramidmo a saan a nasayaat iti Dios? No umado dagiti naglabsingam, ania ti ar-aramidem kenkuana?
7 If you are upright, what do you give to him? or what does he take from your hand?
No nalintegka, ania iti maitedmo kenkuana? Ania iti maawatna manipud kadagiti imam?
8 Your evil-doing may have an effect on a man like yourself, or your righteousness on a son of man.
Ti kinadangkesmo ket mabalin a makadangran iti tao, ta kas taoka, ken ti kinalintegmo ket mabalin a makaited iti pagsayaatan iti sabali a lalaki nga anak ti tao.
9 Because the hand of the cruel is hard on them, men are making sounds of grief; they are crying out for help because of the arm of the strong.
Gapu iti adu nga aramid iti panagparparigat, umasug dagiti tattao; umawagda iti tulong iti takiag dagiti maiingel a tattao.
10 But no one has said, Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night;
Ngem awan iti mangibagbaga, 'Sadino ti ayan ti Dios a Namarsua kaniak, a mangmangted kadagiti kankanta iti rabii,
11 Who gives us more knowledge than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the heaven?
a mangisursuro kadatayo iti nasaysayaat pay ngem iti panangisurona kadagiti narungsot nga ayup iti daga, ken mangpaspasirib kadatayo ngem kadagiti billit iti tangatang?'
12 There they are crying out because of the pride of the evil-doers, but he gives them no answer.
Sadiay nga umas-asugda, ngem saan a sumungsungbat ti Dios gapu iti kinatangsit dagiti dakes a tattao.
13 But God will not give ear to what is false, or the Ruler of all take note of it;
Awan duadua a saan nga ipangag ti Dios ti asug dagiti maag; saan nga ikaskaso daytoy ti Mannakabalin amin.
14 How much less when you say that you do not see him; that the cause is before him, and you are waiting for him.
Kasano pay a sumungbat isuna no ibagbagayo a saanyo isuna a makitkita, a ti kasasaadmo ket adda iti sangoananna, ken ur-urayem isuna!
15 And now ...;
Kasano pay a sungbatannakayo no ibagbagayo a saanna a pulos a dusdusaen ti siasinoman iti ungetna, ken saan unay isuna a maseknan iti kinatangsit dagiti tattao.
16 And Job's mouth is open wide to give out what is of no profit, increasing words without knowledge.
Isu nga agsasao laeng ni Job kadagiti kinamaag; adu dagiti ibagbagana nga awan kaes-eskanna.”
