Job 10
1 Naumaakon iti biagko; iyebkasko ti ririk; agsaoak iti kinasaem ti kararuak.
My soul is disgusted with my life; I will give free vent to my complaint over myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 Ibagak ti Dios, 'Saannak laeng nga ukomen; ipakitam kaniak no apay nga ak-akusarannak.
I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; let me know for what cause thou contendest against me.
3 Nasayaat kadi kenka a rumbeng nga idadanesnak, nga umsiem ti aramid dagiti imam kabayatan nga umis-isemka kadagiti panggep dagiti nadangkes?
Is it well for thee that thou shouldst oppress, that thou shouldst reject the labor of thy hands, and shed light upon the counsel of the wicked?
4 Addaanka kadi kadagiti mata ti lasag? Makakitaka kadi a kas iti panagkita ti tao?
Hast thou eyes of flesh? or wilt thou see as a mortal seeth?
5 Dagiti aldawmo kadi ket kas iti al-aldaw dagiti sangkataoan wenno dagiti tawtawenmo kadi ket kas iti tawtawen dagiti tattao,
Are thy days as the days of a mortal, or are thy years as the days of a man,
6 nga agsaludsodka maipapan kadagiti kinadakesko ken sukimatem ti basolko,
That thou inquirest after my iniquity, and searchest after my sin?
7 uray no ammom nga awan basolko ken awan ti siasinoman a makaispal kaniak manipud iti imam?
Still it is within thy knowledge that I am not wicked, and there is none that can deliver me out of thy hand.
8 Siaannadnak a binukel ken sinukog dagiti imam, ngem daddadaelennak.
Thy hands have carefully fashioned me and made me; every thing is in harmony all round about; and yet thou dost destroy me!
9 Lagipem, agpakaasiak kenka, a binukelnak a kasla pitak, isublinak kadi manen iti tapok?
Remember, I beseech thee, that as though I were clay hast thou made me; and wilt thou cause me to return again unto the dust?
10 Saan kadi nga imbukbuknak a kasla gatas ken binokelnak a kasla keso?
Behold, like milk didst thou pour me out, and like cheese didst thou curdle me.
11 Kinawesannak iti kudil ken lasag ket pinagkakamangnak babaen kadagiti tulang ken piskel.
With skin and flesh didst thou clothe me, and with bones and sinews didst thou cover me.
12 Inikkannak iti biag ken napudnoka iti tulagmo; binantayan ti tulongmo ti espirituk.
Life and kindness didst thou grant me, and thy providence watched over my spirit.
13 Ngem inlemmengmo dagitoy a banbanag iti pusom—ammok a daytoy ti panpanunotem:
And yet these things hadst thou treasured up in thy heart: I know that this was [resolved] within thee.
14 a no nagbasolak, maammoam daytoy; saannak a pakawanen iti kinadakesko.
If I have sinned, then dost thou watch me, and from my iniquity thou wilt not declare me guiltless.
15 No nadangkesak, asiak pay; uray no nalintegak, saanko a maitangad ti ulok, agsipud ta napnoak iti pannakaibabain ken kumitkitaak iti bukodko a panagsagaba.
If I be wicked, woe unto me: and if I be righteous, I can still not lift up my head; I am sated with disgrace, and ever seeing my affliction;
16 No itangad ti ulok ti bukodna, anupennak a kasla leon; maminsan pay ipakitam kaniak a mannakabalinka unay.
And it constantly increaseth; like a fierce lion dost thou hunt for me; and again thou showest thyself continually wonderful on me;
17 Mangiy-iyegka kadagiti baro a saksi a maibusor kaniak ket nayunam ti pungtotmo a maibusor kaniak; darupennak babaen kadagiti baro nga armada.
Thou ever renewest thy witnesses against me, and causest thy indignation to grow strong against me; changes and multitudes [of sufferings] are around me.
18 Apay ngarud nga inruarnak manipud iti aanakan? Intedko la koman ti espirituk ket awan pulos ti mata a nakakita kaniak.
Wherefore then didst thou bring me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had perished, and that no eye had seen me!
19 Agbalinak koman a kasla saan nga imadda; naawitak la koman manipud iti tiyan agingga iti tanem.
That I were as though I had not been, —had been borne from the womb to the grave.
20 Saan kadi a bassit laeng dagiti aldawko? Isardengmo ngaruden, bay-annak nga agmaymaysa, tapno makainanaak bassit
Lo! my days are but few: cease, then, withdraw from me [thy hand], that I may recover my cheerfulness a little.
21 sakbay a mapanak iti lugar a saanakton nga agsubli, iti daga ti kinasipnget ken iti aniniwan ni patay,
Before I go, and return not, to the land of darkness and the shadow of death,
22 ti daga a nasipnget a kas iti kasipnget ti tengnga ti rabii, ti daga ti aniniwan ni patay, nga awan ti aniaman a urnosna, a ti lawag ket kasla tengnga ti rabii.”'
A land of utter gloom, as of the darkness of the shadow of death, without any order, and the light of which is like utter gloom.
