Job 11

1 Ket simmungbat ni Zofar a Naamita ket kinunana,

And Zophar the Naamathite answers and says:

2 “Saan kadi a rumbeng a masungbatan ti kastoy nga adu a sasao? Rumbeng kadi a patien daytoy a tao nga adu ti ibagbagana?

“Is a multitude of words not answered? And is a man of lips justified?

3 Pagulimeken kadi ti panagpaspasindayawmo dagiti dadduma? No lalaisem ti panursuromi, awan kadi ti mangpabain kenka?

Your boastings make men keep silent, You scorn, and none is causing blushing!

4 Ta ibagbagam ti Dios, 'Nasin-aw ti pammatik, awan ti pakababalawak kadagiti matam.'

And you say, My discourse [is] pure, And I have been clean in Your eyes.

5 Ngem o, agsao koma ti Dios ket ilukatna dagiti bibigna a maibusor kenka;

And yet, O that God had spoken! And opens His lips with you.

6 nga ipakitana kenka dagiti palimed ti kinasirib! Ta naindaklan isuna iti pannakaawat. Ammoem ngarud a basbassit ti dawdawaten ti Dios kenka ngem iti rumbeng kadagiti kinadakesmo.

And declares to you secrets of wisdom, for counsel has foldings. And know that God forgets of your iniquity for you.

7 Maawatam kadi ti Dios babaen iti panangsapsapulmo kenkuana? Maawatam kadi a naan-anay ti Mannakabalin amin?

Do you find out God by searching? To perfection find out the Mighty One?

8 Ti panangammo iti Dios a naan-anay ket nangato a kas kangato ti langit; ania ti maaramidam? Naun-uneg ngem sheol; ania ti maammoam? (Sheol h7585)

Heights of the heavens—what [can] you do? Deeper than Sheol—what [can] you know? (Sheol h7585)

9 At-atiddug ti rukodna daytoy ngem ti daga, ken nalawlawa ngem ti baybay.

Its measure [is] longer than earth, and broader than the sea.

10 No lumabas isuna ken ikulongna ti siasinoman, no ayabanna ti siasinoman iti pangukoman, siasino ngarud ti makalapped kenkuana?

If He passes on, and shuts up, and assembles, Who then reverses it?

11 Ta am-ammona dagiti palso a tattao, no makakita isuna iti kinadakes, saanna kadi a madlaw daytoy?

For He has known men of vanity, And He sees iniquity, And one does not consider [it]!

12 Ngem awan pannakaawat dagiti maag a tattao; maawatanda daytoy no mangipasngay ti atap nga asno iti maysa a tao.

And empty man is bold, And man is born [as] the colt of a wild donkey.

13 Ngem kaspangarigan inaramidmo ti pusom a nalinteg ken intag-aymo dagita imam iti Dios;

If you have prepared your heart, And have spread out your hands to Him,

14 kaspangarigan ta adda dita imam ti kinadakes, ngem inyadayom daytoy kenka, ket saanmo nga impalubos nga agnaed ti kinasaan a nalinteg kadagiti toldam.

If iniquity [is] in your hand, put it far off, And do not let perverseness dwell in your tents.

15 Ket awan duadua nga itangadmonto ti rupam nga awan ti pagilasinan iti bain; wen, napigsakanto ken saan a mabuteng.

For then you lift up your face from blemish, And you have been firm, and do not fear.

16 Malipatamto ti kinakakaasim; malagipmonto laeng daytoy a kasla danum a nagayos.

For you forget misery, As waters passed away you remember.

17 Nalawlawagto ti biagmo ngem iti katengngaan ti aldaw; uray no adda ti kinasipnget, agbalinto daytoy a kasla ti agsapa.

And age rises above the noon, You fly—you are as the morning.

18 Natalgedkanto gapu ta adda ti namnama; wen, natalgedkanto ken aginnanakanto a natalged.

And you have trusted because there is hope, And searched—in confidence you lie down,

19 Agiddakanto met a natalged, ket awanto ti pagbutngam, pudno, adunto ti mangbiruk iti pabormo.

And you have rested, And none is causing trembling, And many have begged [at] your face;

20 Ngem mapaayto dagiti mata dagiti nadangkes; awanto ti pagtarayanda; ti laeng namnamada ket ti maudi nga anges ti biag.”

And the eyes of the wicked are consumed, And refuge has perished from them, And their hope [is] a breathing out of soul!”
