Job 11

1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said:

Ket simmungbat ni Zofar a Naamita ket kinunana,

2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be accounted right?

“Saan kadi a rumbeng a masungbatan ti kastoy nga adu a sasao? Rumbeng kadi a patien daytoy a tao nga adu ti ibagbagana?

3 Thy boastings have made men hold their peace, and thou hast mocked, with none to make thee ashamed;

Pagulimeken kadi ti panagpaspasindayawmo dagiti dadduma? No lalaisem ti panursuromi, awan kadi ti mangpabain kenka?

4 And thou hast said: 'My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in Thine eyes.'

Ta ibagbagam ti Dios, 'Nasin-aw ti pammatik, awan ti pakababalawak kadagiti matam.'

5 But oh that God would speak, and open His lips against thee;

Ngem o, agsao koma ti Dios ket ilukatna dagiti bibigna a maibusor kenka;

6 And that He would tell thee the secrets of wisdom, that sound wisdom is manifold! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.

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 Canst thou find out the deep things of God? Canst thou attain unto the purpose of the Almighty?

Maawatam kadi ti Dios babaen iti panangsapsapulmo kenkuana? Maawatam kadi a naan-anay ti Mannakabalin amin?

8 It is high as heaven; what canst thou do? Deeper than the nether-world; what canst 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 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.

At-atiddug ti rukodna daytoy ngem ti daga, ken nalawlawa ngem ti baybay.

10 If He pass by, and shut up, or gather in, then who can hinder Him?

No lumabas isuna ken ikulongna ti siasinoman, no ayabanna ti siasinoman iti pangukoman, siasino ngarud ti makalapped kenkuana?

11 For He knoweth base men; and when He seeth iniquity, will He not then consider it?

Ta am-ammona dagiti palso a tattao, no makakita isuna iti kinadakes, saanna kadi a madlaw daytoy?

12 But an empty man will get understanding, when a wild ass's colt is born a man.

Ngem awan pannakaawat dagiti maag a tattao; maawatanda daytoy no mangipasngay ti atap nga asno iti maysa a tao.

13 If thou set thy heart aright, and stretch out thy hands toward Him —

Ngem kaspangarigan inaramidmo ti pusom a nalinteg ken intag-aymo dagita imam iti Dios;

14 If iniquity be in thy hand, put it far away, and let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents —

kaspangarigan ta adda dita imam ti kinadakes, ngem inyadayom daytoy kenka, ket saanmo nga impalubos nga agnaed ti kinasaan a nalinteg kadagiti toldam.

15 Surely then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear;

Ket awan duadua nga itangadmonto ti rupam nga awan ti pagilasinan iti bain; wen, napigsakanto ken saan a mabuteng.

16 For thou shalt forget thy misery; thou shalt remember it as waters that are passed away;

Malipatamto ti kinakakaasim; malagipmonto laeng daytoy a kasla danum a nagayos.

17 And thy life shall be clearer than the noonday; though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.

Nalawlawagto ti biagmo ngem iti katengngaan ti aldaw; uray no adda ti kinasipnget, agbalinto daytoy a kasla ti agsapa.

18 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt look about thee, and shalt take thy rest in safety.

Natalgedkanto gapu ta adda ti namnama; wen, natalgedkanto ken aginnanakanto a natalged.

19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.

Agiddakanto met a natalged, ket awanto ti pagbutngam, pudno, adunto ti mangbiruk iti pabormo.

20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall have no way to flee, and their hope shall be the drooping of the soul.

Ngem mapaayto dagiti mata dagiti nadangkes; awanto ti pagtarayanda; ti laeng namnamada ket ti maudi nga anges ti biag.”
