< Job 6 >

1 Then Job spoke again, saying [to Eliphaz],
Ket simmungbat ni Job ket kinunana,
2 “If all my troubles and misery could be put on a scale and weighed,
“O, no maitimbang laeng ti ladingitko; no maiparabaw laeng iti timbangan dagiti didigrak!
3 they would be heavier than all the sands [on the shores] of the oceans. That is why I spoke (very rashly/without thinking clearly) [about the day that I was born].
Ta ita, mabalin a nadagdagsen daytoy ngem kadagiti darat kadagiti baybay. Dayta ti makagapo a nagubsang dagiti sasaok.
4 [It is as though] Almighty [God] has shot me with arrows. [It is as though] those arrows had poison on their tips, and that poison has gone into my spirit. The things that God has done to me have terrified me.
Ta adda kaniak dagiti pana ti Mannakabalin amin, umin-inom ti espirituk iti sabidong; inyurnos dagiti didigra ti Dios dagiti bagbagida nga agsasaruno a maibusor kaniak.
5 Just like a wild donkey does not [complain by] braying when it has plenty of grass to eat, and an ox does not [complain by] bellowing when it has food to eat [MET], [I would not complain if you were really helping/comforting me].
Aguga kadi ti atap nga asno no adda ruotna? Wenno agemmak kadi iti bisinna ti baka no adda taraonna?
6 People complain [RHQ] when they must eat food which has no salt or other tasteless food [MET], [and that is what your words are like, Eliphaz].
Mabalin kadi a kanen ti natamnay nga awan asinna? Wenno adda kadi ti aniaman a ramanna ti puraw iti itlog?
7 Just like I do not want to eat food [like that], and I loathe/detests that kind of food [MET], [I do not appreciate what you have said to me].
Agkedkedak a mangsagid kadagitoy; kasla makarimon a taraon dagitoy kaniak.
8 “I wish that God would do for me what I have requested from him [DOU].
O, a maadda koma kaniak ti kiddawko; o, patgan koma ti Dios ti banag a tartarigagayak:
9 I wish that he would crush me [and let me die]. I wish that he would reach out his hand and take away my life.
a makaay-ayo koma iti Dios a rumekennak a mammaminsan, a palukayanna koma dagiti imana ket putdennakon manipud iti daytoy a biag!
10 If he would do that, I would be comforted by knowing that in spite of the great pain that I have suffered, I have always obeyed what [God, ] the Holy One, has commanded.
Daytoy latta koman ti mangliwliwa kaniak- uray no agrag-oak iti ut-ot a saan a makiskissayan: a saanko nga inlibak dagiti sasao ti Nasantoan.
11 But now I do not have [RHQ] enough strength to endure all these things. And since I have nothing [to hope for] in (the future/this life), it is difficult for me to be patient now [RHQ].
Ania ti pigsak, a nasken a padasek iti aguray? Ania ti paggibusak, a nasken a paatiddugek ti biagko?
12 I am not [RHQ] strong like rocks are, and my body is not made of bronze.
Ti kadi pigsak ket pigsa dagiti bato? Wenno naaramid kadi iti bronse ti lasagko?
13 So I am not able to help myself, and [it seems that] there is no one to rescue me.”
Pudno kadi a saanko a matulungan ti bagik, ken naikkaten kaniak ti kinasirib?
14 “When a man has many troubles, his friends should be kind to him, even if he stops revering Almighty [God].
Iti tao a dandanin matalimudaw, rumbeng nga ipakita dagiti gayyemna ti kinapudno; uray kenkuana a nanglaksid iti panagbuteng iti Mannakabalin amin.
15 But [you, ] my friends, are not dependable. You are like streams: They spill over their banks [in the spring]
Ngem nagbalin a napudno kaniak dagiti kakabsatko a kas iti nagayusan ti waig iti disierto, kasla dalan ti danum a mamagaan,
16 when [the melting] ice and snow make those streams overflow,
a limmibeg gapu iti panangkalob ti yelo kadagitoy, ken gapu kadagiti niebe nga aglemlemmeng kadagitoy.
17 but when the dry season comes, there is no water flowing [in those streams], and the channels dry up.
Inton marunawda, mapukawda; inton pumudot, marunawda iti ayanda.
18 [The caravans of merchants] turn off the path [to search for some water], but there is no water, so they die [in the desert].
Sumiasi dagiti bunggoy dagiti agdaldaliasat iti dalanda nga agbirok iti danum; agalla-allada iti langalang a daga ket kalpasanna mapukawda.
19 The men in those caravans search [for some water] because they are sure that they will find some.
Nagbirok sadiay dagiti bunggoy dagiti agdaldaliasat a naggapu idiay Tema, kabayatan a nangnamnama kadakuada dagiti bunggoy ti Saba.
20 But they do not find any, so they are very disappointed.
Naupayda gapu ta mamatida a makabirokda iti danum; Napanda sadiay, ngem naallilawda.
21 Similarly, you friends have not helped me at all! You have seen that terrible things have happened to me, and you are afraid [that God might do similar things to you].
Ta ita dakayo a gagayyemko ket awan serserbiyo kaniak; nakitayo ti nakaam-amak a kasasaadko ket nagbutengkayo.
22 [After I lost all my wealth, ] did I ask any of you for money? [RHQ] Did I plead with any of you to spend some of your money to help me [RHQ]?
Imbagak kadi kadakayo, 'Ikkandak iti maysa a banag? Wenno, 'Mangidiayakayo iti sagut kaniak manipud kadagiti kinabaknangyo?
23 Have I asked any of you to rescue me from my enemies [RHQ]? Have I asked you to save me from those who (oppressed me/treated me badly) [RHQ]? [No!]”
Wenno, 'Isalakandak manipud iti ima dagiti kabusorko? Wenno, 'Sakaendak manipud kadagiti ima dagiti mangidaddadanes kaniak?’
24 “Answer me [now, and then] I will be quiet; tell me what wrong things I have done!
Isurodak, ket agulimekak, ipakaawatyo kaniak dagiti nagbiddutak.
25 When people speak what is true, that will not hurt the person who hears it, but what you say, criticizing me, [is not true, so your saying it] proves nothing [RHQ]!
Anian a nagsakit dagiti napudno a sasao! Ngem dagiti panagrasrasonyo, kasano a mababalawdak?
26 I am a man who has nothing to hope for, but you try to correct me, and you think what I say is nothing but wind [RHQ]!
Panggepyo kadi a saan nga ikankano dagiti sasaok, tratratoenyo kadi dagiti sasao ti maup-upay a tao a kasla angin?
27 You do not sympathize with me at all [for all that I am suffering]. [You are heartless!] You would even gamble to see who gets an orphan [as a prize]!
Pudno, paggiginnasatanyo ti ulila nga ubing, ken makitinnawarkayo kadagiti gagayyemyo a kasla tagilako.
28 Please look at me! I will not [RHQ] lie to you.
Ita ngarud, pangngaasiyo ta kitaendak, ta awan duadau a saanak nga agulbod iti rupayo.
29 Stop [saying that I have sinned, and] stop criticizing me unjustly! You should realize that I have not done things that are wrong.
Agtalnakayo, agpakpakaasiak kadakayo; awan koma iti kinakillo kadakayo; Pudno, agtalnakayo, ta nalintegak.
30 Do you think that I am lying? No, I am not lying, because I know what is right and what is wrong [RHQ].”
Adda kadi kinadakes iti dilak? Saan kadi a madlaw ti ngiwatko dagiti mapagduadua-an a banbanag?
