< Job 7 >

1 “Isn’t a man forced to labor on earth? Aren’t his days like the days of a hired hand?
Adda kadi ti saan a narigat a trabaho para iti tunggal tao iti daga? Saan kadi a dagiti al-aldawna ket kas ti al-aldaw ti natangdanan a tao?
2 As a servant who earnestly desires the shadow, as a hireling who looks for his wages,
Kas ti tagabu a sigagagar nga agtarigagay iti anniniwan ti rabii, kas iti natangdanan a tao a mangur-uray iti tangdanna-
3 so I am made to possess months of misery, wearisome nights are appointed to me.
isu a naaramidak a mangibtur kadagiti bulbulan ti kinakakaasi; naikkanak kadagiti rabii a napnoan iti riribuk.
4 When I lie down, I say, ‘When will I arise, and the night be gone?’ I toss and turn until the dawning of the day.
No agiddaak, kunak iti bagik, 'Kaanoak a bumangon ken kaano nga agleppas ti rabii?’ Alimbasagennak agingga iti pumarbangon.
5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust. My skin closes up, and breaks out afresh.
Nakawesan ti lasagko kadagiti igges ken napuskol a kabkab; timmangken dagiti sugat iti kudilko, ken kalpasanna bumtak, ket agnana.
6 My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.
Naparpartak dagiti al-aldawko ngem ti barkilia iti uma-abel; aglabas dagitoy nga awanan iti namnama.
7 Oh remember that my life is a breath. My eye will no more see good.
Panunotem O Dios a ti biagko ket anges laeng; awanen ti nasayaat a makita ti matak.
8 The eye of him who sees me will see me no more. Your eyes will be on me, but I will not be.
Ti mata ti Dios, a kumitkita kaniak, saannakton a makita; kitaennakto dagiti mata ti Dios, ngem awanakto.
9 As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he who goes down to Sheol will come up no more. (Sheol h7585)
Kas iti ulep a marunaw ken agpukaw, kasta met a ti bumaba iti sheol ket saanton a maka-subli pay. (Sheol h7585)
10 He will return no more to his house, neither will his place know him any more.
Saanton a makasubli isuna iti balayna; uray ti lugarna ket saandanton nga am-ammo isuna.
11 “Therefore I will not keep silent. I will speak in the anguish of my spirit. I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
Ngarud, saanko a lapdan ti ngiwatko; agsaoak iti ladingit ti espirituk; agreklamoak iti kinasaem ti kararuak.
12 Am I a sea, or a sea monster, that you put a guard over me?
Siak kadi ti baybay wenno ti pagbutbutngan iti baybay a nangisaadka iti mangbantay kaniak?
13 When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me. My couch will ease my complaint,’
Inton kunak, 'Liwliwaennak ti pagiddaak, ken pabang-aran ti papagko ti un-unoyko,'
14 then you scare me with dreams and terrify me through visions,
ket butbutngennak babaen iti tagtagainep ken butbutngennak babaen kadagiti sirmata,
15 so that my soul chooses strangling, death rather than my bones.
tapno piliek iti mabekkel ken matay ngem ti mangaywan kadagiti tultulangko.
16 I loathe my life. I don’t want to live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
Kagurak ti biagko; saanko a tarigagayan ti kanayon nga agbiag; bay-annak nga agmaymaysa ta awan serserbi dagiti al-aldawko.
17 What is man, that you should magnify him, that you should set your mind on him,
Ania aya ti tao a nasken nga ipangagmo isuna, a panpanunutem isuna,
18 that you should visit him every morning, and test him every moment?
a sipsiputam isuna iti tunggal agsapa, ken susuotem iti tunggal kanito?
19 How long will you not look away from me, nor leave me alone until I swallow down my spittle?
Kasano pay kabayag sakbay nga iyadayom ti panagkitam kaniak, sakbay a palubosannak nga agmaymaysa iti apag biit a mangtilmon iti bukodko a katay?
20 If I have sinned, what do I do to you, you watcher of men? Why have you set me as a mark for you, so that I am a burden to myself?
Uray no nagbasolak, ania koma ti maaramidanna kenka dayta, sika a mangbuybuya kadagiti tattao? Apay a siak ti punteriam, tapno agbalinak a dadagsen kenka?
21 Why do you not pardon my disobedience, and take away my iniquity? For now will I lie down in the dust. You will seek me diligently, but I will not be.”
Apay a saanmo a pakawanen ti naglabsingak ken ikkaten ti kinadakesko? Ta ita agiddaakon iti tapok; birukennakto iti kasta unay, ngem awanakton.”
