Job 31
1 “I solemnly promised myself that I would not look at a young woman with a desire [to have sex with her].
Nakitulagak kadagiti matak; kasano ngarud ti rumbeng a panangmatmatko nga addaan tarigagay iti maysa a birhen?
2 [If I did not do what I promised, ] what would God who is in heaven [MTY] do to me [RHQ]? Almighty [God] would certainly not [RHQ] give me any reward!
Ta ania ti paset manipud iti Dios idiay ngato, ti tawid manipud iti Mannakabalin amin nga adda idiay ngato?
3 [Previously I thought that] surely [RHQ] it was unrighteous people who would experience calamities, and that it was those who do what is wrong who would experience disasters.
Ipagarupko idi a ti kalamidad ket para kadagiti saan a nalinteg a tattao, ken ti didigra ket para kadagiti agar-aramid iti kinadangkes.
4 God certainly sees [RHQ] everything that I do, [so why is he causing me to suffer?] [It is as though] he counts every step that I take.
Saan kadi a makitkita ti Dios dagiti wagasko ken saanna kadi a mabilang dagiti amin nga addangko?
5 [“I solemnly declare that] I have never acted wickedly and have never tried to deceive people.
No nagnaak iti kinaulbod, no nagdardaras ti sakak a mangallilaw,
6 I request only that God judge me fairly [MET], and if he does that, he will know that I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong).
(maitimbangak koma iti husto tapno maammoan ti Dios ti kinapudnok)
7 If [it were true that] I have stopped living righteously, or [that] I [SYN] have desired the things that I look at [MTY], or [that] I am guilty of any other sin,
no ti addangko ket simmiasi manipud iti nalinteg a dalan, no sinurot ti pusok dagiti matak, no adda kimmapet a mansa iti kinarugit kadagiti imak,
8 then I hope/wish that when I plant [seeds], someone else will [harvest the crops and] eat [them] and that others will uproot the [fruit trees] that I planted.
ngarud, agmulaak koma ket maipakan koma iti sabali; pudno, maparut koma dagiti apit iti talonko.
9 “If [it were true that] I [SYN] have been attracted by some other man’s wife, or [that] I have hidden myself and waited outside [the] door [to] her [house],
No naguyugoy ti pusok iti sabali a babai, no naglemmengak a naguray iti likod ti ridaw ti kaarubak para iti asawana,
10 I hope/desire that my wife will become the servant/slave of another man and have sex [EUP] with him.
aggiling koma ngarud ti asawak iti trigo para iti sabali a lalaki ken makikaidda koma ti sabali a lalaki kenkuana.
11 [For me to do] that would be a terrible sin, and the judges would decide that I should be punished.
Ta nakaam-amak dayta nga aramid; pudno, aramid dayta a madusa babaen kadagiti ukom.
12 My [committing adultery] would [produce in me a fire like] [MET] the fire that burns people in hell, and it would burn up everything that I own. (questioned)
Ta dayta ket apuy a mangikisap iti amin a banag para iti sheol ken manguram kadagiti amin nga apitko.
13 “And, if [it were true that] I have ever refused to listen to one of my male or female servants when they complained to me about something,
No saanko nga inkaskaso ti asug iti hustisia dagiti adipenko a lallaki wenno babbai idi nakisinnupiatda kaniak,
14 God would arise [and declare that he would punish me]; and when he would do that, what would I do? If he would ask me [about what I have done], (what would I answer?/I would not be able to answer.) [RHQ]
ania ngarud ti aramidek inton tumakder ti Dios a mangpabasol kaniak? Inton umay isuna a mangukom kaniak, kasanoakto a sumungbat kenkuana?
15 God, who created me, certainly also created my servants [RHQ]; surely he is the one who formed them and me in our mothers’ wombs [RHQ]; [so we all should behave toward each other equally].
Saan kadi a ti nangaramid kaniak iti aanakan ti inak ket isu met ti nangaramid kadakuada? Saan kadi nga isuna met laeng iti nangsukog kadatayo amin iti aanakan ti inatayo?
16 “I have guided orphans from the time that they were born; I have taken care of them since they were young. So, if [it were true that] I ate all my food myself and did not share some of it with orphans, or [that] I refused to give poor people the things that they wanted, or [that] I caused widows to live (in despair/without hope [that they would receive any help from anyone]),
No nilappedak dagiti nakurapay a tattao manipud iti tarigagayda wenno no pinaglidemko ti mata ti balo iti panagsangsangitna
wenno no kinnanko a sisiak ti taraonko ken saanko a pinalubusan a mangan met dagiti ulila—
(ngem, manipud iti kinaubingko kaduak a dimmakkel ti ulila a kas addaan iti ama ken tinarabayko ti inana, maysa a balo manipud iti aanakan ti bukodko nga ina) —
19 or [that] I had seen people die [from cold] because they had no clothes, or [that] I had seen poor people who did not have clothes [to keep them warm],
no nakakitaak ti maysa a napukaw ta awan pagan-anayna, wenno no nakakitaak iti tao nga agkasapulan nga awan pagan-anayna;
20 and they were not able to become warm [from clothes made] from the wool of my sheep with the result that they thanked me for [giving them clothes, ]
no saannak a binendisionan ti pusona gapu ta saan isuna a napudotan iti lupot a nagtaud iti buok ti karnerok,
21 or if [it were true that] I threatened to strike any orphan because I knew that the elders at the city gates would (decide in my favor);
no ingngatok dagiti imak a maibusor kadagiti ulila gapu ta nakitak ti tulongko iti ruangan ti siudad—
22 [if those things were true about me], I hope/desire that my shoulder blade would be torn out and my arm be torn from my shoulder.
ket malip-ak koma ti abagak manipud iti nagsuopanna ken matukkol koma ti takkiagko manipud iti nagsaepanna.
23 I always feared that God would cause me to experience a great disaster [if I did any of those evil things], and I would not have been able to endure the powerful [things that he would do to punish me].
Ta nakabutbuteng kaniak ti didigra a naggapu iti Dios; gapu iti kinatan-okna, awan ti maaramidko kadagitoy a banbanag,
24 “If [it were true that] I trusted in my gold/money [DOU],
No pinagbalinko a namnamak ti balitok ken no kinunak iti nasayaat a balitok, “Sika ti pagtaltalkak';
25 or that I rejoiced because I had acquired many things and had become very rich,
no nagrag-oak gapu ta adu ti kinabaknangko, gapu ta adu ti natagikua ti imak a sanikua.
26 or that I looked at the sun when it was shining or looked at the beautiful moon
no nakitak ti init idi nagraniag, wenno ti bulan a magmagna iti lawagna,
27 and I [SYN] had been tempted [to worship them] by kissing my hand to revere them,
ken no sililimed a naguyugoy ti pusok, tapno agkak dagiti imak nga agrukbab kadakuada—
28 those things also would be sins for which the judges would say that I must be punished, because I would have been rejecting God [by doing those things].
aramidto met daytoy a maikkan ti pannusa babaen kadagiti ukom, ta inlibakko ti Dios nga adda idiay ngato.
29 “[It is not true that] I [SYN] sinned by requesting God to curse people who hated me with the result that God would cause them to die. It is also not true that I was glad when they were ruined or that I rejoiced when they experienced disasters [DOU].
No nagrag-oak iti pannakadadael ti siasinoman a nanggura kaniak wenno kinabblaawak ti bagik no didigra ti nangkamakam kenkuana—
(pudno, saanko nga impalubos nga agbasol ti ngiwatko babaen ti panangdawatko iti biagna a mailunod)
31 [It is also not true that] I never welcomed travelers to stay in my tent or that I did not open my doors to them, but [forced them to] sleep in the streets. [All] the men who work for me certainly know that [RHQ]!
no saan a pulos a kinuna dagiti lallaki iti toldak, 'Siasino ti makasarak iti tao a saan a napnek iti taraon ni Job?'
(saan a pulos a kasapulan nga agnaed ti ganggannaet iti kalsada ti siudad; ngem ketdi, kanayonko nga ilukat dagiti ruanganko para kadagiti agdaldaliasat)
33 Some people try to hide their sins, but I have never done that;
no, kas kadagiti tattao, inlemmengko dagiti basolko babaen iti panangilemmeng iti basolko iti uneg ti tunikak—
34 and I never remained silent and refused to go outside of my home because I was very (afraid of/worried about) what people would say [about me], and that they would hate/scorn me.
gapu ta nagbutengak kadagiti adu a tattao, gapu ta ti panangtagibassit dagiti pamilya ti nangbuteng kaniak isu a nagulimekak ken saanak a rimmuar iti balayko.
35 “I wish/desire that there was someone who would hear what I am saying! I solemnly declare [that all that I have said is true]. I wish that those who oppose me would write down [on a scroll] the evil things that they say that I did.
O, no adda laeng koma dumngeg kaniak! Adtoy, daytoy ti pirmak; sungbatannak koma ti Mannakabalin amin! No adda laeng koma kaniak ti darum nga insurat dagiti kabusorko!
36 [If they did that, ] I would wear that scroll on my shoulder, or wear it on top of my head, [in order that everyone could see it].
Awan duadua a silulukat nga ibaklayko daytoy iti abagak; ikabilko iti ulok a kasla maysa a korona.
37 I would tell [God] everything that I have done, and I would approach him [confidently], like a ruler would.
Ipakaammok kenkuana ti bilang dagiti addangko; kas natalek a prinsipe, mapanak kenkuana.
38 If [it were true that] I have stolen land, with the result that [it was as though] its furrows cried out to accuse me of stealing;
No umkis ti dagak maibusor kaniak, ken agsangit dagiti guritna,
39 or [if it were true that] I have eaten the crops that grew in someone else’s fields without paying [for those crops], with the result that those farmers who grew those crops died [from hunger];
no kinnanko dagiti apitna a saanko a binayadan daytoy wenno pinukawko ti biag dagiti akinkukua,
40 then I wish/desire that thorns would grow [in my fields] instead of wheat. May bad weeds grow instead of barley!” That is the end of what Job said [to his three friends].
ket agtubo koma ngarud dagiti siit imbes a trigo ken ruruot imbes a sebada.” Nalpasen dagiti sasao ni Job.
