< Job 20 >

1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said:
Ket simmungbat ni Zofar a Naamatita ket kinunana,
2 Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me, even by reason of mine agitation that is in me.
“Pasungbatennak a dagus dagiti kapanunotak gapu iti pakadanagan nga adda kaniak.
3 I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame, but out of my understanding my spirit answereth me.
Nakangngegak kenka iti panagtubngar a nangibabain kaniak, ngem sinungbatannak ti espiritu a nangatngato ngem iti pannakaawatko.
4 Knowest thou not this of old time, since man was placed upon earth,
Saanmo kadi nga ammo daytoy a kinapudno manipud idi un-unana a panawen, idi inkabil ti Dios ti tao iti daga:
5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the godless but for a moment?
ti panagballigi ti nadangkes a tao ket ababa, ken ti rag-o ti awan diosna a tao ket apagbiit laeng?
6 Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;
Uray no dumanon ti kinatayagna kadagiti langlangit, ken tumukno ti ulona kadagiti ulep,
7 Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung; they that have seen 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 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found; yea, he shall be chased away as 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 which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
Ti mata a nakakita kenkuana ket saannanton a makita pay isuna; saanton a makita pay isuna ti lugarna.
10 His children shall appease the poor, and his hands shall restore his wealth.
Agkiddawto iti pammakawan dagiti annakna kadagiti nakurapay a tattao; isublinto dagiti imana ti kinabaknangna.
11 His bones are full of his youth, but 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 wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
Uray no nasam-it ti kinadangkes iti ngiwatna, uray no ilemmengna dagitoy iti sirok ti dilana,
13 Though he spare it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within his mouth;
uray no tenglenna dagitoy sadiay ken saanna a palubosan ngem idulinna latta iti ngiwatna—
14 Yet his food in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.
agbalin a napait ti taraon nga adda kadagiti bagisna; agbalin daytoy a sabidong dagiti uleg iti unegna.
15 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again; God shall cast them out of his belly.
Alun-onenna dagiti kinabaknang, ngem isaruananto manen dagitoy; Ikkatento ti Dios dagitoy iti tianna.
16 He shall suck the poison of asps; the viper's tongue shall slay him.
Susupennanto ti sabidong dagiti uleg; patayento isuna ti dila ti uleg.
17 He shall not look upon the rivers, the flowing streams of honey and curd.
Saanto isuna nga agbiag tapno ragsakenna a kitaen dagiti karayan ken dagiti waig nga agay-ayus iti diro ken mantikilia.
18 That which he laboured for shall he give back, and shall not swallow it down; according to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice.
Aniaman a nagbannoganna, masapul nga isublinanto dagitoy; saannanto a tilmonen daytoy; saanto nga agrag-o isuna iti kinabaknang a nagun-odna.
19 For he hath oppressed and forsaken the poor; he hath violently taken away a house, and he shall not build it up.
Ta indadanes ken inlaksidna dagiti nakurapay a tattao; siraranggas nga innalana dagiti babbalay a saanna nga impatakder.
20 Because he knew no quietness within him, in his greed he suffered nought to escape,
Gapu ta saanna nga ammo ti pannakapnek iti bagina, saanto a makaidulin isuna iti aniaman a banag a pakaragsakanna.
21 There was nothing left that he devoured not — therefore his prosperity shall not endure.
Awan pulos iti nabati a saanna nga inalun-on; ngarud, saanto nga agnanayon ti kinarang-ayna.
22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits; the hand of every one that is in misery shall come upon him.
Iti kinaaglaplapusanan ti kinabaknangna, matnagto isuna iti pakariribukan; umayto kenkuana ti ima ti tunggal maysa a napanglaw.
23 It shall be for the filling of his belly; He shall cast the fierceness of His wrath upon him, and shall cause it to rain upon him into his flesh.
No dandaninan punoen ti tianna, ipalladawto ti Dios ti narungsot a pungtotna kenkuana; patudoento ti Dios daytoy kenkuana kabayatan a mangmangan isuna.
24 If he flee from the iron weapon, the bow of brass shall strike him through.
Uray no maitarayanto dayta a tao ti igam a landok, ti bai a bronse ti mangpana kenkuana.
25 He draweth it forth, and it cometh out of his body; yea, the glittering point cometh out of his gall; terrors are upon him.
Tudokento ti pana ti likodanna ket rummuarto; kinapudnona, sumalpotto ti nasileng a murdong iti dalemna; umayto kenkuana dagiti kabutbuteng.
26 All darkness is laid up for his treasures; a fire not blown by man shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tent.
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 The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and the earth shall rise up against him.
Iparangto dagiti langit ti kinadakesna, ken tumakderto ti daga a kas saksi a maibusor kenkuana.
28 The increase of his house shall depart, his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
Mapukawto ti kinabaknang iti balayna; maiyanudto dagiti sanikuana iti aldaw ti pungtot ti Dios.
29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
Daytoy ti bingay ti nadangkes a tao manipud iti Dios, ti tawid nga insagana ti Dios a para kenkuana.”
