Job 9
1 Then Job replied,
Ket simmungbat ni Job ket kinunana,
2 “Yes, I certainly know that [much of] what you said is true. But (how can anyone say to God, ‘I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong) and prove it?’/no one can say to God ‘I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong) and prove it.’) [RHQ]
“Pudno nga ammok a kasta. Ngem kasano nga agbalin ti tao nga husto iti Dios?
3 If someone wanted to argue with God [about that], God could ask him 1,000 questions, and that person would not be able to answer any of them!
No kayatna ti makisinnupiat iti Dios, saanna a masungbatan isuna iti maminsan iti sangaribu a daras.
4 God is very wise [IDM] and very powerful; no one who has tried to challenge God has been able to win.
Nasirib ti puso ti Dios ken nabileg ti pigsana; siasino ti mangpatangken iti bagina a maibusor kenkuana ket nagballigi? -
5 He even moves mountains, without them (OR, anyone) knowing about it. When he is angry, he turns them upside down.
isuna a mangikkat kadagiti bantay a saanna a ballaagan ti siasinoman inton baliktadenna dagitoy iti pungtotna-
6 He sends earthquakes that shake the ground; he causes the pillars that support the earth to tremble.
isuna a manggun-gon ti daga iti ayanna ken mangpatigerger kadagiti pundasionna daytoy.
7 [Some days] he speaks to the sun, and it does not rise, and [some nights] he prevents the stars from shining.
Isu met laeng daytoy ti Dios a mangibagbaga iti init a saan nga agsingising, ket saan nga agsingising daytoy, ken ti mangak-akkob kadagiti bituen,
8 He alone (stretched out/put in place) the sky; he alone puts his feet on the waves (OR, on the huge sea monster).
isuna a mangbinbinnat kadagiti langit ken isuna a mangibadbaddek ken mangpaspasardeng kadagiti dalluyon iti baybay,
9 He put in their places [the clusters/groups of stars that are called] The Dipper/Bear, Orion, the Pleiades, and the stars in the southern sky.
isuna a mangar-aramid iti Oso, Orion, ti Pleiades, ken dagiti pannakaiyurnos dagiti bituen ti abagatan.
10 Only he does great things that we cannot understand; he does more marvelous things than we are able to count.
Isu met laeng daytoy ti Dios a mangar-aramid kadagiti naindaklan a banbanag, saan a maawatan a banbanag- pudno, dagiti nakakaskasdaaw a banbanag a saan a mabilang.
11 He passes by where I am, but I do not see him; he moves further on, but I do not see him go.
Kitaem, magna isuna iti abayko, ket saanko isuna a makita; lumabas pay isuna, ngem saanko a mabigbig isuna.
12 If he [wants to] snatch something away, no one [RHQ] can hinder him; no one dares to ask him, ‘Why are you doing that?’ [RHQ]
No mangtiliw isuna iti biktima, siasino ti makalapped kenkuana? Siasino ti makaibaga kenkuana, 'Ania ti ar-aramidem?'
13 God will not very easily stop being angry; he defeated [MTY] those who [tried to] help Rahab, [the great sea monster].
Saan nga ibabawi ti Dios ti pungtotna; nagrukob dagiti katulungan ni Rahab iti babaenna.
14 “So, [if God took me to court], what could I say [MTY] to answer him?
Kasano a masungbatak isuna, makapiliak kadi kadagiti sasao a pagrason kenkuana?
15 Even though I (would be innocent/would not have done what is wrong), I would not be able to answer him. All I could do would be to request God, my judge/accuser, to act mercifully toward me.
Uray no nalintegak, saanko a masungbatan isuna; mabalinko laeng ti dumawat iti asi iti ukomko.
16 If I summoned him to [come to the courtroom] and he said that he would come, I would not believe that he would pay attention to what I would say.
Uray no immawagak ket sinungbatannak, saanak a mamati a dumdumngeg isuna iti timekko.
17 He sends storms to batter me, and he bruises me many times (without any reason to do that/even though I am innocent).
Ta dinadaelnak babaen iti bagio ken pinaaduna dagiti sugatko nga awan ti gapgapuna.
18 [It is as though] he will not let me get/catch my breath, because he causes me to suffer all the time.
Saannak pay a palubosan nga aganges; ngem ketdi, pinunnonak iti kinasaem.
19 If I would try to (wrestle with/fight against) him, [there is no way that I could defeat him, ] [because] he is stronger than I am. If I would request him to appear in court, there is no one who could [RHQ] force him to go there.
No pagsasaritaantayo ti pigsa, apay, nabileg isuna! Ket no pagsasaritaantayo ti hustiya? 'Siasino,' kunana, 'ti mangidarum kaniak?
20 Even though I was innocent, what I would say would cause him to say that I must be punished [MTY]; even though I had not done anything wrong, he would prove that I am guilty.
Uray no nalintegak, ukomennak ti bukodko a ngiwat; uray no awan iti pakababalawak, paneknekan latta daytoy a nagbasolak.
21 “I have not done what is wrong, but that is not important. I despise continuing to remain alive.
Awan pakababalawak, ngem awanen ti bibiangko iti bagik; kagurak ti bukodko a biag.
22 But it doesn’t matter, because God will get rid of [all of us, ] both those who are innocent and those who are wicked.
Awan ti nagdumaanna daytoy, isu nga ibagbagak a dadaelenna a sangsangkamaysa dagiti awan pakababalawanna kenn nadangkes a tattao.
23 When people experience disaster and it causes them to suddenly die, God laughs at it, even if they are innocent.
No dagus a mangpapatay ti didigra, agkatawa isuna iti pannakaparparigat dagiti awan basolna a tattao.
24 God has allowed wicked people to control [what happens in] the world. [It is as though] he has caused judges to be blindfolded, [with the result that they cannot judge fairly]. If it is not God who has put wicked people in control, who has done it?
Naited ti daga kadagiti ima dagiti nadangkes a tattao; kalkaluban ti Dios dagiti rupa dagiti uk-ukomna. No saan nga isuna ti mangar-aramid iti daytoy, ket siasino ngarud?
25 “My days go by very quickly, like a fast runner; [it is as though] they run away, and nothing good happens to me on those days.
Naparpartak dagiti al-aldawko ngem ti agtartaray a mensahero; tumaytayab dagiti al-aldawko; awan ti makitada a nasayaat iti sadinoman.
26 My life goes by very rapidly, like a boat made from reeds sailing swiftly, or like an eagle that swoops down to seize a small animal.
Napartakda a kas kadagiti bangka a naaramid iti badobadok a runo, ken kas kapartak ti agila a mangsippayut iti biktimana.
27 If I smile and say [to God], ‘I will forget what I am complaining about; I will stop looking sad and try to be cheerful/happy,’
No ibagak a lipatekon ti maipanggep kadagiti irirririk, nga ikkatek ti naliday a rupak ket agragsakak,
28 then I become afraid because of all that I am suffering, because I know that God does not consider that I am innocent.
mabutengakto kadagiti amin a ladingitko gapu ta ammok a saannakto nga ibilang nga awan basolna.
29 He will (condemn me/declare that I should be punished), so why should I keep trying in vain [to defend myself]?
Maukomakto; apay, koma ngarud a padasek daytoy nga awan serserbina?
30 If I washed myself with snow or cleansed my hands with lye/soap [to get rid of my guilt],
No bugoak ti bagik iti danun ti niebe ken aramidek a nakadaldalus unay dagiti imak,
31 he would still throw me into a filthy pit; as a result [it would be as though] even my clothes would detest me.
ipurwaknak ti Dios iti kanal, ket karugitdakto dagiti bukodko a kawes.
32 “God is not a human, as I am, so there is no way that I could answer him [to prove that I am innocent] if we went together to have a trial [in a courtroom].
Ta saan a tao ti Dios, a kas kaniak, a mabalinko isuna a sungbatan, a mabalinmi ti mapan iti pangukoman.
33 There is no one to (mediate/hear us and decide who is right), no one who has authority over both of us [IDM].
Awan ti ukom iti nagbaetanmi a mabalin a mangipatay iti imana kadakami.
34 I wish/desire that he would stop punishing [MTY] me, and that he would not continue to terrify me.
Awanen ti sabali nga ukom a makaikkat iti pang-or ti Dios kaniak, a makalapped iti panangbutbutengna kaniak. Ket agsaoakto ken saanak nga agbuteng kenkuana.
35 If he did that, I would declare [that I am innocent] without being afraid of him, because I know that I really have not [done what is wrong like God thinks that I have].”
Ngem kas kadagiti banbanag ita, saanko a maaramid dayta.
