< Job 6 >

1 Then Job answered and said:
Ket simmungbat ni Job ket kinunana,
2 Oh that my vexation were but weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances altogether!
“O, no maitimbang laeng ti ladingitko; no maiparabaw laeng iti timbangan dagiti didigrak!
3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas; therefore are my words broken.
Ta ita, mabalin a nadagdagsen daytoy ngem kadagiti darat kadagiti baybay. Dayta ti makagapo a nagubsang dagiti sasaok.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof my spirit drinketh up; the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
Ta adda kaniak dagiti pana ti Mannakabalin amin, umin-inom ti espirituk iti sabidong; inyurnos dagiti didigra ti Dios dagiti bagbagida nga agsasaruno a maibusor kaniak.
5 Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?
Aguga kadi ti atap nga asno no adda ruotna? Wenno agemmak kadi iti bisinna ti baka no adda taraonna?
6 Can that which hath no savour be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the juice of mallows?
Mabalin kadi a kanen ti natamnay nga awan asinna? Wenno adda kadi ti aniaman a ramanna ti puraw iti itlog?
7 My soul refuseth to touch them; they are as the sickness of my flesh.
Agkedkedak a mangsagid kadagitoy; kasla makarimon a taraon dagitoy kaniak.
8 Oh that I might have my request, and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
O, a maadda koma kaniak ti kiddawko; o, patgan koma ti Dios ti banag a tartarigagayak:
9 Even that it would please God to crush me; that He would let loose His hand, and cut me off!
a makaay-ayo koma iti Dios a rumekennak a mammaminsan, a palukayanna koma dagiti imana ket putdennakon manipud iti daytoy a biag!
10 Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would exult in pain, though He spare not; for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
Daytoy latta koman ti mangliwliwa kaniak- uray no agrag-oak iti ut-ot a saan a makiskissayan: a saanko nga inlibak dagiti sasao ti Nasantoan.
11 What is my strength, that I should wait? and what is mine end, that I should be patient?
Ania ti pigsak, a nasken a padasek iti aguray? Ania ti paggibusak, a nasken a paatiddugek ti biagko?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
Ti kadi pigsak ket pigsa dagiti bato? Wenno naaramid kadi iti bronse ti lasagko?
13 Is it that I have no help in me, and that sound wisdom is driven quite from me?
Pudno kadi a saanko a matulungan ti bagik, ken naikkaten kaniak ti kinasirib?
14 To him that is ready to faint kindness is due from his friend, even to him that forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
Iti tao a dandanin matalimudaw, rumbeng nga ipakita dagiti gayyemna ti kinapudno; uray kenkuana a nanglaksid iti panagbuteng iti Mannakabalin amin.
15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, as the channel of brooks that overflow,
Ngem nagbalin a napudno kaniak dagiti kakabsatko a kas iti nagayusan ti waig iti disierto, kasla dalan ti danum a mamagaan,
16 Which are black by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow hideth itself;
a limmibeg gapu iti panangkalob ti yelo kadagitoy, ken gapu kadagiti niebe nga aglemlemmeng kadagitoy.
17 What time they wax warm, they vanish, when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
Inton marunawda, mapukawda; inton pumudot, marunawda iti ayanda.
18 The paths of their way do wind, they go up into the waste, and are lost.
Sumiasi dagiti bunggoy dagiti agdaldaliasat iti dalanda nga agbirok iti danum; agalla-allada iti langalang a daga ket kalpasanna mapukawda.
19 The caravans of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them —
Nagbirok sadiay dagiti bunggoy dagiti agdaldaliasat a naggapu idiay Tema, kabayatan a nangnamnama kadakuada dagiti bunggoy ti Saba.
20 They were ashamed because they had hoped; they came thither, and were confounded.
Naupayda gapu ta mamatida a makabirokda iti danum; Napanda sadiay, ngem naallilawda.
21 For now ye are become His; ye see a terror, and are afraid.
Ta ita dakayo a gagayyemko ket awan serserbiyo kaniak; nakitayo ti nakaam-amak a kasasaadko ket nagbutengkayo.
22 Did I say: 'Give unto me'? or: 'Offer a present for me of your substance'?
Imbagak kadi kadakayo, 'Ikkandak iti maysa a banag? Wenno, 'Mangidiayakayo iti sagut kaniak manipud kadagiti kinabaknangyo?
23 or: 'Deliver me from the adversary's hand'? or: 'Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors'?
Wenno, 'Isalakandak manipud iti ima dagiti kabusorko? Wenno, 'Sakaendak manipud kadagiti ima dagiti mangidaddadanes kaniak?’
24 Teach me, and I will hold my peace; and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
Isurodak, ket agulimekak, ipakaawatyo kaniak dagiti nagbiddutak.
25 How forcible are words of uprightness! But what doth your arguing argue?
Anian a nagsakit dagiti napudno a sasao! Ngem dagiti panagrasrasonyo, kasano a mababalawdak?
26 Do ye hold words to be an argument, but the speeches of one that is desperate to be wind?
Panggepyo kadi a saan nga ikankano dagiti sasaok, tratratoenyo kadi dagiti sasao ti maup-upay a tao a kasla angin?
27 Yea, ye would cast lots upon the fatherless, and dig a pit for your friend.
Pudno, paggiginnasatanyo ti ulila nga ubing, ken makitinnawarkayo kadagiti gagayyemyo a kasla tagilako.
28 Now therefore be pleased to look upon me; for surely I shall not lie to your face.
Ita ngarud, pangngaasiyo ta kitaendak, ta awan duadau a saanak nga agulbod iti rupayo.
29 Return, I pray you, let there be no injustice; yea, return again, my cause is righteous.
Agtalnakayo, agpakpakaasiak kadakayo; awan koma iti kinakillo kadakayo; Pudno, agtalnakayo, ta nalintegak.
30 Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern crafty devices?
Adda kadi kinadakes iti dilak? Saan kadi a madlaw ti ngiwatko dagiti mapagduadua-an a banbanag?
