Job 35
1 Then Elihu also said this:
Nagtultuloy pay ni Elihu, kinuna,
2 “[Job, ] do you think that what you said is right/correct? You say, ‘God knows that I am innocent,’
“Panagkunam kadi ket awan basolyo? Panagkunam kadi, 'Nalinlintegak ngem ti Dios?'
3 and you say [to God], ‘What good have I received for not sinning? What benefit have I received from that?’ [DOU, RHQ]
Ta ibagbagam, 'Ania koma ti pagsayaatanna kaniak no nalintegak? Ania ti pagsayaatanna kaniak daytoy ita, ngem no nagbasolak?'
4 [Well, ] I will answer you, and I will answer your three friends, too.
Sungbatankayo, sika ken dagiti gagayyemmo.
5 “[Job], look up at the sky; look at the clouds that are high above you and realize [that God is far above everything].
Tumangadkayo iti tangatang, ket kitaenyo daytoy; kitaenyo ti tangatang, a nangatngato ngem kadakayo.
6 If you have sinned, that does not [RHQ] harm God at all. If many times you do things that are wrong, that certainly does not [RHQ] affect him [DOU].
No nakabasolka, ania ti maaramidmo a saan a nasayaat iti Dios? No umado dagiti naglabsingam, ania ti ar-aramidem kenkuana?
7 And if you are righteous, does that help God? No, he is not benefited by anything that you do [DOU].
No nalintegka, ania iti maitedmo kenkuana? Ania iti maawatna manipud kadagiti imam?
8 It is other people who suffer because of the wicked things that you do, but by doing good things for people, you help them.
Ti kinadangkesmo ket mabalin a makadangran iti tao, ta kas taoka, ken ti kinalintegmo ket mabalin a makaited iti pagsayaatan iti sabali a lalaki nga anak ti tao.
9 “People cry out because of the many things that people do to others to (oppress them/treat them cruelly); they call for help because of the things that powerful people do [MTY] to them.
Gapu iti adu nga aramid iti panagparparigat, umasug dagiti tattao; umawagda iti tulong iti takiag dagiti maiingel a tattao.
10 But (no one/none of them) calls out [to God], saying ‘Why does God, my creator, [not help me]? He [should] enable me to sing [joyful] songs, [instead of very sad songs, ] during the night.
Ngem awan iti mangibagbaga, 'Sadino ti ayan ti Dios a Namarsua kaniak, a mangmangted kadagiti kankanta iti rabii,
11 He [should be able to] teach us more than all the wild animals do; he [should] enable us to become wiser than [all] the birds are!’
a mangisursuro kadatayo iti nasaysayaat pay ngem iti panangisurona kadagiti narungsot nga ayup iti daga, ken mangpaspasirib kadatayo ngem kadagiti billit iti tangatang?'
12 People cry out [for help], but God does not answer them, because those who cry out are proud and evil people.
Sadiay nga umas-asugda, ngem saan a sumungsungbat ti Dios gapu iti kinatangsit dagiti dakes a tattao.
13 It is useless for them to cry out, because God, the Almighty One, does not pay any attention to what they say.
Awan duadua a saan nga ipangag ti Dios ti asug dagiti maag; saan nga ikaskaso daytoy ti Mannakabalin amin.
14 So, when you complain that you cannot see God, and you tell him that you are waiting for him [to decide whether or not you should be punished for what you have done], God will not listen to you, either!
Kasano pay a sumungbat isuna no ibagbagayo a saanyo isuna a makitkita, a ti kasasaadmo ket adda iti sangoananna, ken ur-urayem isuna!
15 Furthermore, [you say that] because he does not pay attention when people commit sins, he does not become angry and punish them.
Kasano pay a sungbatannakayo no ibagbagayo a saanna a pulos a dusdusaen ti siasinoman iti ungetna, ken saan unay isuna a maseknan iti kinatangsit dagiti tattao.
16 You say things that are useless; you say a lot of things without knowing [what you are talking about].”
Isu nga agsasao laeng ni Job kadagiti kinamaag; adu dagiti ibagbagana nga awan kaes-eskanna.”
