Job 14
1 “We humans are very frail. We live only a short time, and we experience a lot of trouble.
Ti tao a maiyanak iti babai, agbiag laeng iti sumagmamano nga al-aldaw ken napnoan ti riribuk.
2 We disappear quickly, like flowers that grow from the ground quickly and then wither and die [SIM]. We are like shadows that disappear [when the sun stops shining].
Agrusing isuna manipud iti daga a kasla maysa a sabong ket makeltay; agpukaw isuna a kasla aniniwan ken saan nga agpaut.
3 [Yahweh, ] why do you keep watching me [to see if I am doing something that is wrong] [RHQ]? Are you wanting to take me to court to judge me?
Kumitkitaka kadi iti aniaman kadagitoy? Ikuyognak kadi iti pangukoman?
4 People are sinners from the time when they are born; who can cause them to be sinless? No one [RHQ]!
Siasino ti makaiyeg ti maysa a banag a nadalus manipud ti maysa a banag a narugit? Awan.
5 You have decided how long our lives will be. You have decided how many months we will live, and we cannot live more months than the (limit/number of months) that you have decided.
Naikeddengen dagiti al-aldaw ti tao; Adda kenka dagiti bilang dagiti bulbulanna; dinutokam ti pagpatinggaanna a saanna a mabalin a labsan.
6 So please stop examining us, and allow us to be alone, until/while we finish our time [here on earth], like a man finishes his work [at the end of the day].
Iyadayom iti panagkitam kenkuana tapno makainana isuna, tapno maragragsakna ti aldawna a kas maysa a natangdanan a tao no maaramidna ti kasta.
7 If someone cuts a tree down, we hope that it will sprout again and grow new branches.
Adda ti namnama iti kayo; no mapukan daytoy, mabalin nga agrusing manen, a saanto nga agsardeng ti naganus a sangana.
8 Its roots in the ground may be very old, and its stump may decay,
Uray no matangkenan ti ramutna iti daga, ken matay ti puonna iti daga,
9 but if some water falls on it, it may bud/sprout and send up shoots like a young plant.
ngem uray makaangot laeng daytoy iti danum, agsaringitto daytoy ken agsanga a kas iti mula.
10 But when we people lose all our strength and die, we stop breathing and then we are gone [forever].
Ngem matay ti tao; kumapsot isuna; pudno nga agsardeng nga aganges ti tao, ket sadino ti ayanna?
11 Just like water evaporates from the ocean, or like a riverbed dries up,
Kas ti panagawan ti danum iti dan-aw ken kas iti panagpukaw ken panagmaga ti danum iti karayan,
12 people [lie down and die and] do not get up again. Until the heavens disappear, people who die [EUP] do not wake up, and no one can wake them up.
kasta met ti panagidda dagiti tattao ken saanen a bumangon manen. Agingga nga awanen dagiti langit, saandanto nga agriing wenno mariing iti pannaturogda.
13 [“Yahweh, ] I wish that you would put me safely in the place of the dead and forget about me until you are no longer angry with me. I wish that you would decide how much time I would spend there, and then remember [that] I [am there]. (Sheol h7585)
O, nga ilemmengnak koma idiay sheol nga adayu manipud kadagiti riribuk, ken idulinnak iti nalimed agingga a malpas ti pungtotmo, a tudingannak iti maysa a nadutokan a tiempo nga agtalinaed sadiay ket lagipennak! (Sheol h7585)
14 When we humans die, we will certainly not live again [RHQ]. If [I knew that] we would live again, I would wait patiently, and I would wait for you to release me [from my sufferings].
No matay ti tao, agbiagto aya manen? No kasta, tarigagayak nga urayen amin a pakabannogak sadiay agingga nga umay ti pannakawayawayak.
15 You would call me, and I would answer. You would be eager to see me, one of the creatures that you had made.
Umawagkanto, ket sungbatanka. Agtarigagaykanto kadagiti trabaho dagiti imam.
16 You would take care of [MET] me, instead of watching me to see if I would sin.
Bilangen ken imdengamto dagiti addangko; saanmonto a kankanayon a siputan ti basolko.
17 [It is as though the record of] my sins would be sealed in a small bag, and you would cover them up.
Maidulinto dagiti basbasolko iti maysa a supot; kallubamto dagiti kinadakesko.
18 “But, just like mountains crumble and rocks fall down from a cliff,
Ngem uray dagiti banbantay ket agriggaay ken agbalin nga awan mamaayna; uray dagiti batbato ket maiyakar kadagiti ayanda;
19 and just like water slowly wears away the stones, and just like floods wash away soil, [you eventually destroy us]; you do not allow us to continue to (hope/confidently expect) [that we will keep on living].
runoten dagiti danum dagiti batbato; iyanod ti panaglayusda ti tapuk ti daga. Kas iti daytoy, dadaelem dagiti namnama ti tao.
20 You always defeat us, and then we die [EUP]. You cause our faces to look ugly after we die, and you send us away.
Kankanayonmo a parmeken isuna, ket aglabas isuna; baliwam ti rupana ken papanawem tapno matay isuna.
21 [When we die] we do not know if our sons will grow up and [do things that will cause them to] be honored. And if they become disgraced, we do not see that, [either].
Maidaydayaw dagiti annakna a lallaki, ngem saanna nga ammo daytoy; mabalin a maipababada, ngem saanna a makita a mapasamak daytoy.
22 We will feel our own pains; we will not feel anything else; we will be sorry for ourselves, not for anyone else.”
Mariknana laeng ti ut-ot ti bukodna a bagi, ken agladingit isuna para iti bagina.
