Job 23
1 THEN Job answered and said,
Kalpasanna simmungbat ni Job ket kinunana,
2 Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
“Uray ita nga aldaw nasaem ti dayengdengko; nadagdagsen ti panagsagsagabak ngem ti panagas-asugko.
3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!
O, nga ammok koma ti pakasarakak kenkuana! O, a mapanak koma iti ayanna!
4 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
Idatagkonto a siuurnos ti kasasaadko iti sangoananna ken punnoekto ti ngiwatko kadagiti pannakisinnuppiat.
5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
Adalekto dagiti sasao nga isungbatna kaniak ken awatekto no ania ti ibagana kaniak.
6 Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.
Makisinnuppiatto kadi isuna kaniak iti kinaindaklan ti pannakabalinna? Saan, ipangagnakto.
7 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
Mabalin a makisinnupiat kenkuana sadiay ti nalinteg a tao. Iti kastoy a wagas, mapakawanakto iti agnanayon babaen ti ukomko.
8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
Kitaenyo, agpadayaak, ngem awan isuna sadiay, ken agpalaudak, ngem saanko a madlaw isuna.
9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
Iti amianan, a pagub-ubraanna, ngem saanko isuna a makita, ken iti abagatan, a paglemlemmenganna tapno saanko isuna a makita.
10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
Ngem ammona ti dalan a papanak; inton nasuotnakun, rummuarakto a kasla balitok.
11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
Sumursurot a naan-anay ti sakak kadagiti addangna; sinalimetmetak ti dalanna ken saanak a simmiasi.
12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
Saanak a nagsukir kadagiti bilin dagiti bibigna; indulinko dagiti sasao ti ngiwatna ditoy pusok.
13 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
Ngem naidumduma isuna, siasino ti makapabaw-ing kenkuana? No ania dagiti tartarigagayanna, aramidenna.
14 For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
Ta ipatpatungpalna ti bilinna a maibusor kaniak; adu ti kasla kadagitoy.
15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
Ngarud, mabutengak iti presensiana; no panpanunotek isuna, mabutbutengak kenkuana.
16 For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
Ta pinakapuy ti Dios ti pusok; pinagbutengnak ti Mannakabalin-amin.
17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.
Saan a ti sipnget ti nakadadaelak, wenno ti nakaro a kinasipnget ti nangabbong iti rupak.
