Job 11
1 Then Sophar the Minaean answered and said,
Ket simmungbat ni Zofar a Naamita ket kinunana,
2 He that speaks much, should also hear on the other side: or does the fluent speaker think himself to be righteous? blessed [is] the short lived offspring of woman.
“Saan kadi a rumbeng a masungbatan ti kastoy nga adu a sasao? Rumbeng kadi a patien daytoy a tao nga adu ti ibagbagana?
3 Be not a speaker of many words; for is there none to answer thee?
Pagulimeken kadi ti panagpaspasindayawmo dagiti dadduma? No lalaisem ti panursuromi, awan kadi ti mangpabain kenka?
4 For say not, I am pure in my works, and blameless before him.
Ta ibagbagam ti Dios, 'Nasin-aw ti pammatik, awan ti pakababalawak kadagiti matam.'
5 But oh that the Lord would speak to thee, and open his lips to thee!
Ngem o, agsao koma ti Dios ket ilukatna dagiti bibigna a maibusor kenka;
6 Then shall he declare to thee the power of wisdom; for it shall be double of that which is with thee: and then shalt thou know, that a just recompence of thy sins has come to thee from the Lord.
nga ipakitana kenka dagiti palimed ti kinasirib! Ta naindaklan isuna iti pannakaawat. Ammoem ngarud a basbassit ti dawdawaten ti Dios kenka ngem iti rumbeng kadagiti kinadakesmo.
7 Wilt thou find out the traces of the Lord? or hast thou come to the end [of that] which the Almighty has made?
Maawatam kadi ti Dios babaen iti panangsapsapulmo kenkuana? Maawatam kadi a naan-anay ti Mannakabalin amin?
8 Heaven [is] high; and what wilt thou do? and there are deeper things than those in hell; what dost thou know? (Sheol h7585)
Ti panangammo iti Dios a naan-anay ket nangato a kas kangato ti langit; ania ti maaramidam? Naun-uneg ngem sheol; ania ti maammoam? (Sheol h7585)
9 Or longer than the measure of the earth, or the breadth of the sea.
At-atiddug ti rukodna daytoy ngem ti daga, ken nalawlawa ngem ti baybay.
10 And if he should overthrow all things, who will say to him, What hast thou done?
No lumabas isuna ken ikulongna ti siasinoman, no ayabanna ti siasinoman iti pangukoman, siasino ngarud ti makalapped kenkuana?
11 For he knows the works of transgressors; and when he sees wickedness, he will not overlook [it].
Ta am-ammona dagiti palso a tattao, no makakita isuna iti kinadakes, saanna kadi a madlaw daytoy?
12 But man vainly buoys himself up with words; and a mortal born of woman [is] like an ass in the desert.
Ngem awan pannakaawat dagiti maag a tattao; maawatanda daytoy no mangipasngay ti atap nga asno iti maysa a tao.
13 For if thou hast made thine heart pure, and liftest up [thine] hands towards him;
Ngem kaspangarigan inaramidmo ti pusom a nalinteg ken intag-aymo dagita imam iti Dios;
14 if there is any iniquity in thy hands, put if far from thee, and let not unrighteousness lodge in thy habitation.
kaspangarigan ta adda dita imam ti kinadakes, ngem inyadayom daytoy kenka, ket saanmo nga impalubos nga agnaed ti kinasaan a nalinteg kadagiti toldam.
15 For thus shall thy countenance shine again, as pure water; and thou shalt divest thyself of uncleanness, and shalt not fear.
Ket awan duadua nga itangadmonto ti rupam nga awan ti pagilasinan iti bain; wen, napigsakanto ken saan a mabuteng.
16 And thou shalt forget trouble, as a wave that has passed by; and thou shalt not be scared.
Malipatamto ti kinakakaasim; malagipmonto laeng daytoy a kasla danum a nagayos.
17 And thy prayer [shall be] as the morning star, and life shall arise to thee [as] from the noonday.
Nalawlawagto ti biagmo ngem iti katengngaan ti aldaw; uray no adda ti kinasipnget, agbalinto daytoy a kasla ti agsapa.
18 And thou shalt be confident, because thou hast hope; and peace shall dawn to thee from out of anxiety and care.
Natalgedkanto gapu ta adda ti namnama; wen, natalgedkanto ken aginnanakanto a natalged.
19 For thou shalt be at ease, and there shall be no one to fight against thee; and many shall charge, and make supplication to thee.
Agiddakanto met a natalged, ket awanto ti pagbutngam, pudno, adunto ti mangbiruk iti pabormo.
20 But safety shall fail them; for their hope is destruction, and the eyes of the ungodly shall waste away.
Ngem mapaayto dagiti mata dagiti nadangkes; awanto ti pagtarayanda; ti laeng namnamada ket ti maudi nga anges ti biag.”
