Job 20
1 Then Sophar the Minaean answered and said,
Ket simmungbat ni Zofar a Naamatita ket kinunana,
2 I did not suppose that thou wouldest answer thus: neither do ye understand more than I.
“Pasungbatennak a dagus dagiti kapanunotak gapu iti pakadanagan nga adda kaniak.
3 I will hear my shameful reproach; and the spirit of my understanding answers me.
Nakangngegak kenka iti panagtubngar a nangibabain kaniak, ngem sinungbatannak ti espiritu a nangatngato ngem iti pannakaawatko.
4 Hast thou [not] known these things of old, from the time that man was set upon the earth?
Saanmo kadi nga ammo daytoy a kinapudno manipud idi un-unana a panawen, idi inkabil ti Dios ti tao iti daga:
5 But the mirth of the ungodly is a signal downfall, and the joy of transgressors is destruction:
ti panagballigi ti nadangkes a tao ket ababa, ken ti rag-o ti awan diosna a tao ket apagbiit laeng?
6 although his gifts should go up to heaven, and his sacrifice reach the clouds.
Uray no dumanon ti kinatayagna kadagiti langlangit, ken tumukno ti ulona kadagiti ulep,
7 For when he shall seem to be now established, then he shall utterly perish: and they that knew him shall say, Where is he?
ngem mapukawto ti kasta a tao iti agnanayon a kas iti bukodna a takki; ibaganto dagiti nakakita kenkuana, 'Sadino ti ayanna?'
8 Like a dream that has fled away, he shall not be found; and he has fled like a vision of the night.
Tumayabto isuna a kasla tagtagainep ket saanto a masarakan; kinapudnona, mapukawto isuna a kasla iti sirmata iti rabii.
9 The eye has looked upon him, but shall not [see him] again; and his place shall no longer perceive him.
Ti mata a nakakita kenkuana ket saannanton a makita pay isuna; saanton a makita pay isuna ti lugarna.
10 Let [his] inferiors destroy his children, and let his hands kindle the fire of sorrow.
Agkiddawto iti pammakawan dagiti annakna kadagiti nakurapay a tattao; isublinto dagiti imana ti kinabaknangna.
11 His bones have been filled with [vigour of] his youth, and it shall lie down with him in the dust.
Napno iti pigsa ti kinaagtutubo dagiti tultulangna, ngem kaduananto daytoy nga agidda iti tapok.
12 Though evil be sweet in his mouth, [though] he will hide it under his tongue;
Uray no nasam-it ti kinadangkes iti ngiwatna, uray no ilemmengna dagitoy iti sirok ti dilana,
13 though he will not spare it, and will not leave it, but will keep it in the midst of his throat:
uray no tenglenna dagitoy sadiay ken saanna a palubosan ngem idulinna latta iti ngiwatna—
14 yet he shall not at all be able to help himself; the gall of an asp is in his belly.
agbalin a napait ti taraon nga adda kadagiti bagisna; agbalin daytoy a sabidong dagiti uleg iti unegna.
15 [His] wealth unjustly collected shall be vomited up; a messenger [of wrath] shall drag him out of his house.
Alun-onenna dagiti kinabaknang, ngem isaruananto manen dagitoy; Ikkatento ti Dios dagitoy iti tianna.
16 And let him suck the poison of serpents, and let the serpent's tongue slay him.
Susupennanto ti sabidong dagiti uleg; patayento isuna ti dila ti uleg.
17 Let him not see the milk of the pastures, nor the supplies of honey and butter.
Saanto isuna nga agbiag tapno ragsakenna a kitaen dagiti karayan ken dagiti waig nga agay-ayus iti diro ken mantikilia.
18 He has laboured unprofitably and in vain, [for] wealth of which he shall not taste: [it is] as a lean thing, unfit for food, which he cannot swallow.
Aniaman a nagbannoganna, masapul nga isublinanto dagitoy; saannanto a tilmonen daytoy; saanto nga agrag-o isuna iti kinabaknang a nagun-odna.
19 For he has broken down the houses of many mighty men: and he has plundered an habitation, though he built [it] not.
Ta indadanes ken inlaksidna dagiti nakurapay a tattao; siraranggas nga innalana dagiti babbalay a saanna nga impatakder.
20 There is no security to his possessions; he shall not be saved by his desire.
Gapu ta saanna nga ammo ti pannakapnek iti bagina, saanto a makaidulin isuna iti aniaman a banag a pakaragsakanna.
21 There is nothing remaining of his provisions; therefore his goods shall not flourish.
Awan pulos iti nabati a saanna nga inalun-on; ngarud, saanto nga agnanayon ti kinarang-ayna.
22 But when he shall seem to be just satisfied, he shall be straitened; and all distress shall come upon him.
Iti kinaaglaplapusanan ti kinabaknangna, matnagto isuna iti pakariribukan; umayto kenkuana ti ima ti tunggal maysa a napanglaw.
23 If by any means he would fill his belly, let [God] send upon him the fury of wrath; let him bring a torrent of pains upon him.
No dandaninan punoen ti tianna, ipalladawto ti Dios ti narungsot a pungtotna kenkuana; patudoento ti Dios daytoy kenkuana kabayatan a mangmangan isuna.
24 And he shall by no means escape from the power of the sword; let the brazen bow wound him.
Uray no maitarayanto dayta a tao ti igam a landok, ti bai a bronse ti mangpana kenkuana.
25 And let the arrow pierce through his body; and let the stars be against his dwelling-place: let terrors come upon him.
Tudokento ti pana ti likodanna ket rummuarto; kinapudnona, sumalpotto ti nasileng a murdong iti dalemna; umayto kenkuana dagiti kabutbuteng.
26 And let all darkness wait for him: a fire that burns not out shall consume him; and let a stranger plague his house.
Naan-anay a kinasipnget ti nakasagana para kadagiti gamgamengna; ti apuy a saan a napuyotan ti manguramto kenkuana; ibusento ti apuy dagiti nabati iti toldana.
27 And let the heaven reveal his iniquities, and the earth rise up against him.
Iparangto dagiti langit ti kinadakesna, ken tumakderto ti daga a kas saksi a maibusor kenkuana.
28 Let destruction bring his house to an end; let a day of wrath come upon him.
Mapukawto ti kinabaknang iti balayna; maiyanudto dagiti sanikuana iti aldaw ti pungtot ti Dios.
29 This is the portion of an ungodly man from the Lord, and the possession of his goods [appointed him] by the all-seeing [God].
Daytoy ti bingay ti nadangkes a tao manipud iti Dios, ti tawid nga insagana ti Dios a para kenkuana.”
