< Job 4 >

1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, and sayde,
Ket simmungbat ni Elifaz a Temanita ket kinunana,
2 If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieued? but who can withholde himselfe from speaking?
No padasen ti siasinoman a makisarita kenka, agladingitka kadi? Ngem siasino ti makalapped kenkuana nga agsao?
3 Behold, thou hast taught many, and hast strengthened the wearie hands.
Kitaem, adu ti sinursurwam; pinapigsam dagiti nakapsut nga ima.
4 Thy wordes haue confirmed him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the weake knees.
Sinaranay dagiti sasaom isuna a matmatnag, pinatibkermo dagiti nalupoy a tumeng.
5 But now it is come vpon thee, and thou art grieued: it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
Ngem ita dimteng kenka ti riribuk, ket maupayka; sagsagidenaka, ket marirriribukanka.
6 Is not this thy feare, thy confidence, thy pacience, and the vprightnesse of thy wayes?
Saan aya a ti panagbutengmo ti Dios ti mangted koma kenka iti kinatalged? Saan aya a ti kinapudno dagiti wagasmo ti mangted koma kenka ti namnama?
7 Remember, I pray thee: who euer perished, being an innocent? or where were the vpright destroyed?
Panunotem daytoy, ipakpakaasik kenka: siasino iti napukaw nga awan basolna? Wenno kaano a naputed ti nalinteg a tao?
8 As I haue seene, they that plow iniquitie, and sowe wickednesse, reape the same.
Segun iti napaliiwko, dagiti agarado iti basol ken agmula iti riribuk, isu met laeng ti apitenna.
9 With the blast of God they perish, and with the breath of his nostrels are they cosumed.
Mapukawda babaen iti anges ti Dios; maibusda babaen iti gil-ayab ti pungtotna.
10 The roaring of the Lion, and the voyce of the Lionesse, and the teeth of the Lions whelpes are broken.
Ti panagngernger ti leon, ti timek iti narungsot a leon, dagiti ngipen dagiti urbon a leon—natuppoldan.
11 The Lyon perisheth for lacke of pray, and the Lyons whelpes are scattered abroade.
Mapukaw ti nataengan a leon gapu iti kinaawan dagiti natiliw: naiwarawara dagiti urbon ti kabaian a leon iti sadinoman.
12 But a thing was brought to me secretly, and mine eare hath receiued a litle thereof.
Ita, sililimed a naiyeg kaniak ti maysa a banag; nakangngeg ti lapayagko ti arasaas maipanggep iti daytoy.
13 In the thoughtes of ye visions of the night, when sleepe falleth on men,
Kadagiti panpanunot manipud kadagiti sirmata iti rabii, idi sumamay ti narnekan a pannaturog kadagiti tattao.
14 Feare came vpon me, and dread which made all my bones to tremble.
Immay kaniak ti panagbuteng ken panagpigerger, ket pinagkintayegna dagiti amin a tulangko.
15 And the wind passed before me, and made the heares of my flesh to stande vp.
Kalpasanna, limmabas ti maysa nga espiritu iti sangoanak; simgar dagiti buok ti lasagko.
16 Then stoode one, and I knewe not his face: an image was before mine eyes, and in silence heard I a voyce, saying,
Nagtakder ti espiritu a saan nga agkutkuti, ngem saanko a mailasin ti langana. Adda maysa a ladawan iti sangoanan dagiti matak; adda iti panagulimek, ket nakangngegak iti timek a nagkuna,
17 Shall man be more iust then God? or shall a man be more pure then his maker?
“Mabalin kadi a nalinlinteg ti maysa a tao ngem ti Dios? Mabalin kadi a nasinsin-aw ti tao ngem ti Nangaramid kenkuana?
18 Beholde, he founde no stedfastnesse in his Seruants, and laid follie vpon his Angels.
Kitaem, no saan nga agtalek ti Dios kadagiti adipenna; no pabasolenna dagiti anghel iti kinamaag,
19 Howe much more in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which shalbe destroyed before the moth?
kasano nga ad-adda a pudno daytoy kadagiti agnanaed kadagiti pitak a balay, a ti pundasyonda ket adda iti tapuk, a nabibiit a marumek ngem iti akot-akot?
20 They be destroyed from the morning vnto the euening: they perish for euer, without regarde.
Madadaelda iti nagbaetan ti agsapa ken ti rabii; mapukawda iti agnanayon nga awan ti siasinoman a makadlaw kadakuada.
21 Doeth not their dignitie goe away with them? do they not die, and that without wisdom?
Saan kadi a nauyos dagiti galut ti toldada iti nagtetengngaanda? Matayda; matayda nga awanan ti kinasirib.
