Job 12
1 Ket simmungbat ni Job ket kinunana,
When Job answered, and said:
2 “Awan duadua a dakayo dagiti tattao; matayto ti kinasirib a kaduayo.
Are you then men alone, and shall wisdom die with you?
3 Ngem addaanak iti pannakaawat a kas kadakayo; saanak a nababbaba ngem kadakayo. Wen, siasino ti saan a makaammo kadagiti banbanag a kas kadagitoy?
I also have a heart as well as you: for who is ignorant of these things, which you know?
4 Maysaak a pagkakatawaan dagiti kaarrubak—siak, nga immawag iti Dios ken sinungbatanna! Siak, a nalinteg ken awan ti pakababalawanna a tao—maysaak itan a pagkakatawaan.
He that is mocked by his friends as I, shall call upon God and he will hear him: for the simplicity of the just man is laughed to scorn.
5 Iti panunot ti tao a nanam-ay ket adda iti panangumsi para iti kinadaksanggasat; agpanpanunot isuna iti wagas a mangyeg pay iti ad-adu a kinadaksanggasat kadagiti maikagkaglis ti sakana.
The lamp despised in the thoughts of the rich, is ready for the time appointed.
6 Rumang-ay dagiti tolda dagiti agtatakaw, ket natalged dagiti mangpapaunget iti Dios; dagiti bukodda nga ima dagiti diosda.
The tabernacles of robbers abound, and they provoke God boldly; whereas it is he that hath given all into their hands:
7 Ngem ita damagem dagiti narungsot nga ayup, ket suroandaka; damagem dagiti billit kadagiti tangatang, ket ibagada kenka.
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee: and the birds of the air, and they shall tell thee.
8 Wenno agsaoka iti daga, ket suroannaka daytoy; ibaganto kenka dagiti lames ti baybay.
Speak to the earth, and it shall answer thee: and the fishes of the sea shall tell.
9 Ania kadagitoy amin nga ayup ti saan a makaammo nga inaramid dagiti ima ti Dios daytoy—inikkanna ida iti biag—
Who is ignorant that the hand of the Lord hath made all these things?
10 O Yahweh, siasino ti makin-iggem iti biag dagiti tunggal agbibiag a banag ken ti anges ti amin a sangkataoan?
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the spirit of all flesh of man.
11 Saan kadi a suboken ti lapayag dagiti sasao a kas iti panangraman ti dawat-dawat iti kanenna?
Doth not the ear discern words, and the palate of him that eateth, the taste?
12 Ti adda iti nataengan a tao ket kinasirib; iti kinaatiddog dagiti aldaw ket pannakaawat.
In the ancient is wisdom, and in length of days prudence.
13 Adda iti Dios ti kinasirib ken bileg; addaan isuna iti nasayaat a kapanunotan ken pannakaawat.
With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
14 Kitaenyo, mangrebba isuna, ket saanen a maibangon manen; no ibaludna ti maysa a tao, awanen ti pannakawayawaya.
If he pull down, there is no man that can build up: if he shut up a. man, there is none that can open.
15 Kitaenyo, no pasardengenna dagiti danum, maattianan dagitoy; ket no burwanganna dagitoy, dadaelenda ti daga.
If he withhold the waters, all things shall be dried up: and if he send them out, they shall overturn the earth.
16 Adda kenkuana ti pigsa ken kinasirib; agpada nga adda iti pannakabalinna dagiti tattao a naallilaw ken dagiti manangallilaw.
With him is strength and wisdom: he knoweth both the deceiver, and him that is deceived.
17 Idalanna a sakasaka iti liday dagiti mammagbaga; pagbalinenna a maag dagiti ukom.
He bringeth counsellors to a foolish end, and judges to insensibility.
18 Ikkatenna dagiti kawar ti turay manipud kadagiti ari; barikesenna ida iti lupot.
He looseth the belt of kings, and girdeth their loins with a cord.
19 Iyadayona dagiti papadi a sakasaka iti liday ken parmekenna dagiti nabileg a tattao.
He leadeth away priests without glory, and overthroweth nobles.
20 Ikkatenna dagiti sasao dagiti tattao a mapagtalkan ken ikkatenna dagiti pannakaawat dagiti panglakayen.
He changeth the speech of the true speakers, and taketh away the doctrine of the aged.
21 Ibukbukbukna ti pananglais kadagiti prinsipe ken ikkatenna dagiti barikes dagiti napipigsa a tattao.
He poureth contempt upon princes, and relieveth them that were oppressed.
22 Ipakpakitana dagiti nauuneg a banbanag manipud iti kasipngetan ken iruarna iti lawag dagiti aniniwan nga ayan dagiti natay a tattao.
He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth up to light the shadow of death.
23 Pappapigsaenna dagiti nasion, ket daddaelenna met dagitoy; palawaenna dagiti nasion, ket idalanna met ida a kas balud.
He multiplieth nations, and destroyeth them, and restoreth them again after they were overthrown.
24 Ik-ikkatenna ti pannakaawat manipud kadagiti panguloen dagiti tattao iti daga; pagalla-allaenna ida idiay let-ang nga awan ti dalan.
He changeth the heart of the princes of the people of the earth, and deceiveth them that they walk in vain where there is no way.
25 Agarikapda iti kasipngetan nga awan ti lawag; pagdiwer-diwerenna ida a kasla nabartek a tao.
They shall grope as in the dark, and not in the light, and he shall make them stagger like men that are drunk.
