Job 17
1 My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, the grave is [ready] for me.
Naibus ti espirituk, ken aggibusen dagiti al-aldawko; nakasaganan ti tanem a para kaniak.
2 Surely there are mockers with me, and mine eye abideth in their provocation.
Pudno nga adda dagiti mananglalais a kaduak; masapul a kankanayon a makitkita ti matak iti pananggargarida.
3 Give now a pledge, be surety for me with thyself; who is there that will strike hands with me?
Mangtedka ita ti maysa a sapata, agbalinka koma a pammatalged a maipaay kaniak; siasino pay iti adda a tumulong kaniak?
4 For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt [them].
Ta linapdam O Dios dagiti pusoda manipud ti pannakaawat; saanmonto ngarud itan-ok ida kaniak.
5 He that denounceth his friends for a prey, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
Ti mangakusar kadagiti gagayyemna a maipaay iti gunggona, kumapoyto dagiti mata dagiti annakna.
6 He hath made me also a byword of the people; and I am become an open abhorring.
Ngem inaramidnak a maysa a balikas a kanayon nga us-usaren dagiti tattao, tuptupraanda ti rupak.
7 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
Nakudrep met ti matak gapu iti ladingit; nakuttong dagiti amin a paset ti bagik a kas ti kinakuttong ti aniniwan.
8 Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.
Agsiddaawto dagiti nalinteg a lallaki gapu iti daytoy; makaungetto ti awan basolna a tao maibusor kadagiti nadangkes a lallaki.
9 Yet shall the righteous hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall wax stronger and stronger.
Agtalinaedto ti nalinteg a tao iti dalanna; ad-addanto pay a pumigsa dagiti addaan iti nadalus nga im-ima.
10 But return ye, all of you, and come now: and I shall not find a wise man among you.
Ngem maipapan kadakayo amin, umaykayo ita; saanakto a makasarak iti masirib a tao kadakayo.
11 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the droughts of my heart.
Naglabasen dagiti al-aldawko, naggibusen dagiti panggepko, uray dagiti tartarigagayan ti pusok.
12 They change the night into a day: the fight, [say they], is near unto the darkness.
Baliwan dagitoy a tattao, dagitoy a mananglalais, ti rabii iti aldaw; ti lawag, kunada nga asideg iti kinasipnget.
Agsipud ta kitkitaek ti sheol a kas balayko; agsipud ta inyukradko ti iddak iti kasipngetan, (Sheol h7585)
14 If I have said to corruption, Thou art my father; to the worm, [Thou art] my mother, and my sister;
agsipud ta imbagak iti abut, 'Sika ti Amak,' ken iti igges, 'Sika ti inak ken kabsatko a babai,'
15 Where then is my hope? and as for my hope, who shall see it?
sadino ngaruden ti ayan ti namnamak? Maipapan ti namnamak, siasino ti makakita ti aniaman?
