Job 20
1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said:
Ket simmungbat ni Zofar a Naamatita ket kinunana,
2 For this do my thoughts lead me to reply, And for this is my ardor within me.
“Pasungbatennak a dagus dagiti kapanunotak gapu iti pakadanagan nga adda kaniak.
3 I have heard my shameful rebuke; And the spirit, from my understanding, answereth for me.
Nakangngegak kenka iti panagtubngar a nangibabain kaniak, ngem sinungbatannak ti espiritu a nangatngato ngem iti pannakaawatko.
4 Knowest thou not, that from the days of old, From the time when man was placed upon the earth,
Saanmo kadi nga ammo daytoy a kinapudno manipud idi un-unana a panawen, idi inkabil ti Dios ti tao iti daga:
5 The triumphing of the wicked hath been short, And the joy of the impious 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 greatness mount up to the heavens, And his head reach to the clouds,
Uray no dumanon ti kinatayagna kadagiti langlangit, ken tumukno ti ulona kadagiti ulep,
7 Yet shall he perish for ever, and be mingled with dust; They who saw 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 flee away like a dream, and shall not be found; Yea, he shall disappear like a vision of the nigh.
Tumayabto isuna a kasla tagtagainep ket saanto a masarakan; kinapudnona, mapukawto isuna a kasla iti sirmata iti rabii.
9 The eye also which saw him shall see him no more, And his dwelling-place shall never more behold him.
Ti mata a nakakita kenkuana ket saannanton a makita pay isuna; saanton a makita pay isuna ti lugarna.
10 His sons shall seek the favor of the poor, And their hands shall give back 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 they 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 cherish it, and will not part with it, And keep it fast in his mouth,
uray no tenglenna dagitoy sadiay ken saanna a palubosan ngem idulinna latta iti ngiwatna—
14 Yet his meat shall be changed within him, And become to him the poison of asps.
agbalin a napait ti taraon nga adda kadagiti bagisna; agbalin daytoy a sabidong dagiti uleg iti unegna.
15 He hath glutted himself with riches, And he shall throw them up again; Yea, God shall cast them out of his body.
Alun-onenna dagiti kinabaknang, ngem isaruananto manen dagitoy; Ikkatento ti Dios dagitoy iti tianna.
16 He shall suck the poison of asps; The tongue of the viper shall destroy him.
Susupennanto ti sabidong dagiti uleg; patayento isuna ti dila ti uleg.
17 He shall never see the flowing streams, And the rivers of honey and milk.
Saanto isuna nga agbiag tapno ragsakenna a kitaen dagiti karayan ken dagiti waig nga agay-ayus iti diro ken mantikilia.
18 The fruits of his toil he shall give back, and shall not enjoy them: It is substance to be restored, and he shall not rejoice therein.
Aniaman a nagbannoganna, masapul nga isublinanto dagitoy; saannanto a tilmonen daytoy; saanto nga agrag-o isuna iti kinabaknang a nagun-odna.
19 Because he hath oppressed and abandoned the poor, And seized upon the house which he did not build;
Ta indadanes ken inlaksidna dagiti nakurapay a tattao; siraranggas nga innalana dagiti babbalay a saanna nga impatakder.
20 Because he knew no rest in his bosom, He shall not save that in which he delighteth.
Gapu ta saanna nga ammo ti pannakapnek iti bagina, saanto a makaidulin isuna iti aniaman a banag a pakaragsakanna.
21 Because nothing escaped his greediness, 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 abundance he shall be brought low; Every hand of the wretched shall come upon him.
Iti kinaaglaplapusanan ti kinabaknangna, matnagto isuna iti pakariribukan; umayto kenkuana ti ima ti tunggal maysa a napanglaw.
23 He shall, indeed, have wherewith to fill himself: God shall send upon him the fury of his anger, And rain it down upon him for his food.
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 fleeth from the iron weapon, The bow of brass shall pierce him through.
Uray no maitarayanto dayta a tao ti igam a landok, ti bai a bronse ti mangpana kenkuana.
25 He draweth the arrow, and it cometh forth from his body; Yea, the glittering steel 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 Calamity of every kind is treasured up for him. A fire not blown shall consume him; It shall consume whatever 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 substance of his house shall disappear; It shall flow away in the day of His wrath.
Mapukawto ti kinabaknang iti balayna; maiyanudto dagiti sanikuana iti aldaw ti pungtot ti Dios.
29 Such is the portion of the wicked man from God, And the inheritance appointed for him by the Almighty.
Daytoy ti bingay ti nadangkes a tao manipud iti Dios, ti tawid nga insagana ti Dios a para kenkuana.”
