Job 17
1 I perish, carried away by the wind, and I seek for burial, and obtain [it] not.
Naibus ti espirituk, ken aggibusen dagiti al-aldawko; nakasaganan ti tanem a para kaniak.
2 Weary I intreat; and what have I done? and strangers have stolen my goods.
Pudno nga adda dagiti mananglalais a kaduak; masapul a kankanayon a makitkita ti matak iti pananggargarida.
3 Who is this? let him join hands with me.
Mangtedka ita ti maysa a sapata, agbalinka koma a pammatalged a maipaay kaniak; siasino pay iti adda a tumulong kaniak?
4 For thou hast hid their heart from wisdom; therefore thou shalt not exalt them.
Ta linapdam O Dios dagiti pusoda manipud ti pannakaawat; saanmonto ngarud itan-ok ida kaniak.
5 He shall promise mischief to [his] companions: but [their] eyes have failed for [their] children.
Ti mangakusar kadagiti gagayyemna a maipaay iti gunggona, kumapoyto dagiti mata dagiti annakna.
6 But thou has made me a byword amount the nations, and I am become a scorn to them.
Ngem inaramidnak a maysa a balikas a kanayon nga us-usaren dagiti tattao, tuptupraanda ti rupak.
7 For my eyes are dimmed through pain; I have been grievously beset by all.
Nakudrep met ti matak gapu iti ladingit; nakuttong dagiti amin a paset ti bagik a kas ti kinakuttong ti aniniwan.
8 Wonder has seized true men upon this; and let the just rise up against the transgressor.
Agsiddaawto dagiti nalinteg a lallaki gapu iti daytoy; makaungetto ti awan basolna a tao maibusor kadagiti nadangkes a lallaki.
9 But let the faithful hold on his own way, and let him that is pure of hands take courage.
Agtalinaedto ti nalinteg a tao iti dalanna; ad-addanto pay a pumigsa dagiti addaan iti nadalus nga im-ima.
10 Howbeit, do ye all strengthen [yourselves] and come now, for I do not find truth in you.
Ngem maipapan kadakayo amin, umaykayo ita; saanakto a makasarak iti masirib a tao kadakayo.
11 My days have passed in groaning, and my heart-strings are broken.
Naglabasen dagiti al-aldawko, naggibusen dagiti panggepko, uray dagiti tartarigagayan ti pusok.
12 I have turned the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
Baliwan dagitoy a tattao, dagitoy a mananglalais, ti rabii iti aldaw; ti lawag, kunada nga asideg iti kinasipnget.
Agsipud ta kitkitaek ti sheol a kas balayko; agsipud ta inyukradko ti iddak iti kasipngetan, (Sheol h7585)
14 I have called upon death to be my father, and corruption [to be] my mother and sister.
agsipud ta imbagak iti abut, 'Sika ti Amak,' ken iti igges, 'Sika ti inak ken kabsatko a babai,'
15 Where then is yet my hope? or [where] shall I see my good?
sadino ngaruden ti ayan ti namnamak? Maipapan ti namnamak, siasino ti makakita ti aniaman?
