Job 4
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
Ket simmungbat ni Elifaz a Temanita ket kinunana,
2 "If someone ventures to talk with you, will you be grieved? But who can withhold himself from speaking?
No padasen ti siasinoman a makisarita kenka, agladingitka kadi? Ngem siasino ti makalapped kenkuana nga agsao?
3 Look, you have instructed many, you have strengthened the weak hands.
Kitaem, adu ti sinursurwam; pinapigsam dagiti nakapsut nga ima.
4 Your words have supported him who was falling, You have made firm the feeble knees.
Sinaranay dagiti sasaom isuna a matmatnag, pinatibkermo dagiti nalupoy a tumeng.
5 But now it is come to you, and you faint. It touches you, and you are troubled.
Ngem ita dimteng kenka ti riribuk, ket maupayka; sagsagidenaka, ket marirriribukanka.
6 Isn't your piety your confidence? Isn't the integrity of your ways your hope?
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, now, whoever perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?
Panunotem daytoy, ipakpakaasik kenka: siasino iti napukaw nga awan basolna? Wenno kaano a naputed ti nalinteg a tao?
8 According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity, and sow trouble, reap the same.
Segun iti napaliiwko, dagiti agarado iti basol ken agmula iti riribuk, isu met laeng ti apitenna.
9 By the breath of God they perish. By the blast of his anger are they consumed.
Mapukawda babaen iti anges ti Dios; maibusda babaen iti gil-ayab ti pungtotna.
10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
Ti panagngernger ti leon, ti timek iti narungsot a leon, dagiti ngipen dagiti urbon a leon—natuppoldan.
11 The old lion perishes for lack of prey. The cubs of the lioness are scattered abroad.
Mapukaw ti nataengan a leon gapu iti kinaawan dagiti natiliw: naiwarawara dagiti urbon ti kabaian a leon iti sadinoman.
12 "Now a thing was secretly brought to me. My ear received a whisper of it.
Ita, sililimed a naiyeg kaniak ti maysa a banag; nakangngeg ti lapayagko ti arasaas maipanggep iti daytoy.
13 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,
Kadagiti panpanunot manipud kadagiti sirmata iti rabii, idi sumamay ti narnekan a pannaturog kadagiti tattao.
14 fear came on me, and trembling, which made all my bones shake.
Immay kaniak ti panagbuteng ken panagpigerger, ket pinagkintayegna dagiti amin a tulangko.
15 Then a spirit passed before my face. The hair of my flesh stood up.
Kalpasanna, limmabas ti maysa nga espiritu iti sangoanak; simgar dagiti buok ti lasagko.
16 It stood still, but I couldn't discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes. Silence, then I heard a voice, 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 mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than 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 Look, he puts no trust in his servants. He charges his angels with error.
Kitaem, no saan nga agtalek ti Dios kadagiti adipenna; no pabasolenna dagiti anghel iti kinamaag,
19 How much more, those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed 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 Between morning and evening they are destroyed. They perish forever without any regarding it.
Madadaelda iti nagbaetan ti agsapa ken ti rabii; mapukawda iti agnanayon nga awan ti siasinoman a makadlaw kadakuada.
21 Isn't their tent cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.'
Saan kadi a nauyos dagiti galut ti toldada iti nagtetengngaanda? Matayda; matayda nga awanan ti kinasirib.
