< Job 36 >

1 Elihu also continued, and said,
Nagtultuloy ni Elihu ket kinunana,
2 "Bear with me a little, and I will show you; for I still have something to say on God's behalf.
“Palubosannak pay nga agsao iti ababa, ket ipakitak kenka ti maysa a banag gapu ta adda pay bassit nga ibagak a mangikanawa iti Dios.
3 I will get my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
Ibingayko ti pannakaammok manipud iti adayo a lugar; bigbigek a ti kinalinteg ket naggapu iti Namarsua kaniak.
4 For truly my words are not false. One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.
Ta pudno, saan a pumalso dagiti sasaok; kaduam ti maysa a nataengan iti pannakaammo.
5 "Look, God is mighty, and doesn't despise anyone. He is mighty in strength of understanding.
Kitaem, mannakabalin ti Dios, ken awan ti um-umsienna; maawatanna amin a banbanag.
6 He doesn't preserve the life of the wicked, but gives to the afflicted their right.
Saanna nga an-annadan ti biag dagiti nadangkes a tattao ngem ketdi ar-aramidenna iti umno para kadagiti agsagsagaba.
7 He doesn't withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne, he sets them forever, and they are exalted.
Saanna nga ik-ikaten ti panagkitana manipud kadagiti nalinteg a tattao ngem ketdi isaadna ida kadagiti trono a kasla kadagiti ari iti agnanayon, ket maitag-ayda.
8 If they are bound in fetters, and are taken in the cords of afflictions,
No, kas pangarigan, mabaludda, no mapalab-uganda iti tali ti panagsagaba,
9 then he shows them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
ket ipakpakitana kadakuada ti inaramidda—dagiti naglabsinganda ken ti panagtignayda a sitatangsit.
10 He also opens their ears to instruction, and commands that they return from iniquity.
Luklukatanna pay dagiti lapayagda kadagiti bilbilinna, ken bilbilininenna ida a tumallikod manipud iti panagaramid iti basol.
11 If they listen and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
No dumngegda kenkuana ken dayawenda isuna, gugurendanto dagiti aldawda iti kinarang-ay, dagiti tawtawenda iti pannakapnek.
12 But if they do not listen, they shall perish by the sword; they shall die without knowledge.
Nupay kasta, no saanda a dumngeg, mapapatayda babaen iti kampilan; mataydanto gapu ta awan ti pannakaammoda.
13 "But those who are godless in heart lay up anger. They do not cry for help when he binds them.
Dagiti awan iti dios ti pusoda ket mapenpen dagiti pungtotda; saanda a dumawat iti tulong uray no itali ida ti Dios.
14 They die in youth. Their life perishes among the unclean.
Matayda iti kinaagtutuboda; agpatingga dagiti bibiagda kadagiti balangkantis.
15 He delivers the afflicted by their affliction, and opens their ear in oppression.
Is-ispalen ti Dios dagiti tattao nga agrigrigat babaen iti pannakaparparigatda; luklukatanna dagiti lapayagda babaen iti pannakaidadanesda.
16 Yes, he would have allured you out of distress, into a broad place, where there is no restriction. That which is set on your table would be full of fatness.
Pudno, kayatnaka nga ilung-aw iti rigat nga agturong iti nalawa a lugar nga awan iti rigat ken iti lugar a mapno ti lamisaanmo iti taraon na napnoan iti taba.
17 "But you are full of the judgment of the wicked. Judgment and justice take hold of you.
Ngem napnoanka iti pammabasol kadagiti nadangkes a tattao; tinengngelnaka ti pannakaukom ken hustisia.
18 Do not let riches entice you to wrath, neither let the great size of a bribe turn you aside.
Saanmo nga ipalubos nga allilawennaka ti kinabaknang; saanmo nga ipalubos a ti dakkel a gatad ti pasoksok ti mangibaw-ing kenka manipud iti hustisia.
19 Would your wealth sustain you in distress, or all the might of your strength?
Adda kadi ti pagsayaatan a maitedna kenka ti kinabaknangmo, tapno saanka nga agrigat, wenno matulongannaka kadi ti amin a pigsam?
20 Do not desire the night, when people are cut off in their place.
Saanmo a tarigagayan ti rabii nga agaramid iti basol kadagiti dadduma, no napapanaw dagiti tattao iti lugarda.
21 Take heed, do not regard iniquity; for you have chosen this rather than affliction.
Agannadka a saanka nga agsubli iti pannagbasol gapu ta masusuotka babaen iti panagsagaba tapno maiyadayoka manipud iti panagbasol.
22 Look, God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?
Kitaem, naitag-ay ti Dios iti pannakabalinna; siasino ti manursuro a kas kenkuana?
23 Who has prescribed his way for him? Or who can say, 'You have committed unrighteousness?'
Siasino iti nangisuro kenkuana maipanggep iti wagasna? Siasino ti makaibaga kenkuana, 'Saan a nalinteg ti inaramidmo?'
24 "Remember that you magnify his work, whereof men have sung.
Laglagipem a dayawen dagiti aramidna, nga inkanta dagiti tattao.
25 All men have looked thereon. Man sees it afar off.
Nakita amin a tattao dagidiay nga aramid, ngem makitada laeng dagidiay nga aramid manipud iti adayo.
26 Look, God is great, and we do not know him. The number of his years is unsearchable.
Kitaem, naindaklan ti Dios, ngem saantayo unay a maawatan isuna; saan a mabilang ti tawtawenna.
27 For he draws up the drops of water, which distill in rain from his vapor,
Ta ipangpangatona dagiti tedted ti danum nga agbalin a tudo manipud iti alingasawna,
28 Which the skies pour down and which drop on humankind abundantly.
nga aglaplapusanan nga ibukbukbok ken itintinnag dagiti ulep iti sangkataoan.
29 Yes, can any understand the spreading of the clouds, and the thunderings of his pavilion?
Pudno, maawatan kadi ti siasinoman ti kinalawa dagiti ul-ulep ken dagiti gurruod manipud kadagiti toldana?
30 Look, he spreads his light around him. He covers the bottom of the sea.
Kitaem, ipalpalikmotna ti kimatna iti bagina; kalkalubanna ti taaw iti kinasipnget.
31 For by these he judges the people. He gives food in abundance.
Iti daytoy a wagas pakpakanenna dagiti tattao ken mangmangted iti aglaplapusanan a taraon.
32 He covers his hands with the lightning, and commands it to strike the mark.
Kalkalubanna kadagiti imana dagiti kimat aginggana nga ibaonna dagitoy a tiroenda dagiti puntada.
33 Its noise tells about him, and the livestock also concerning the storm that comes up.
Dagiti daranudorda ti mangibagbaga kadagiti tattao nga adda iti paumay a bagyo; ammo met ti ayup ti panagsangpetna.
