Job 23
1 And Job answereth and saith: —
Kalpasanna simmungbat ni Job ket kinunana,
2 Also — to-day [is] my complaint bitter, My hand hath been heavy because of my sighing.
“Uray ita nga aldaw nasaem ti dayengdengko; nadagdagsen ti panagsagsagabak ngem ti panagas-asugko.
3 O that I had known — and I find Him, I come in unto His seat,
O, nga ammok koma ti pakasarakak kenkuana! O, a mapanak koma iti ayanna!
4 I arrange before Him the cause, And my mouth fill [with] arguments.
Idatagkonto a siuurnos ti kasasaadko iti sangoananna ken punnoekto ti ngiwatko kadagiti pannakisinnuppiat.
5 I know the words He doth answer me, And understand what He saith to me.
Adalekto dagiti sasao nga isungbatna kaniak ken awatekto no ania ti ibagana kaniak.
6 In the abundance of power doth He strive with me? No! surely He putteth [it] in me.
Makisinnuppiatto kadi isuna kaniak iti kinaindaklan ti pannakabalinna? Saan, ipangagnakto.
7 There the upright doth reason with Him, And I escape for ever from my judge.
Mabalin a makisinnupiat kenkuana sadiay ti nalinteg a tao. Iti kastoy a wagas, mapakawanakto iti agnanayon babaen ti ukomko.
8 Lo, forward I go — and He is not, And backward — and I perceive him not.
Kitaenyo, agpadayaak, ngem awan isuna sadiay, ken agpalaudak, ngem saanko a madlaw isuna.
9 [To] the left in His working — and I see not, He is covered [on] the right, and I behold not.
Iti amianan, a pagub-ubraanna, ngem saanko isuna a makita, ken iti abagatan, a paglemlemmenganna tapno saanko isuna a makita.
10 For He hath known the way with me, He hath tried me — as gold I go forth.
Ngem ammona ti dalan a papanak; inton nasuotnakun, rummuarakto a kasla balitok.
11 On His step hath my foot laid hold, His way I have kept, and turn not aside,
Sumursurot a naan-anay ti sakak kadagiti addangna; sinalimetmetak ti dalanna ken saanak a simmiasi.
12 The command of His lips, and I depart not. Above my allotted portion I have laid up The sayings of His mouth.
Saanak a nagsukir kadagiti bilin dagiti bibigna; indulinko dagiti sasao ti ngiwatna ditoy pusok.
13 And He [is] in one [mind], And who doth turn Him back? And His soul hath desired — and He doth [it].
Ngem naidumduma isuna, siasino ti makapabaw-ing kenkuana? No ania dagiti tartarigagayanna, aramidenna.
14 For He doth complete my portion, And many such things [are] with Him.
Ta ipatpatungpalna ti bilinna a maibusor kaniak; adu ti kasla kadagitoy.
15 Therefore, from His presence I am troubled, I consider, and am afraid of Him.
Ngarud, mabutengak iti presensiana; no panpanunotek isuna, mabutbutengak kenkuana.
16 And God hath made my heart soft, And the Mighty hath troubled me.
Ta pinakapuy ti Dios ti pusok; pinagbutengnak ti Mannakabalin-amin.
17 For I have not been cut off before darkness, And before me He covered thick darkness.
Saan a ti sipnget ti nakadadaelak, wenno ti nakaro a kinasipnget ti nangabbong iti rupak.
