Job 12
1 Ket simmungbat ni Job ket kinunana,
Then Iob answered, and sayde,
2 “Awan duadua a dakayo dagiti tattao; matayto ti kinasirib a kaduayo.
In deede because that ye are the people onely, wisedome must dye 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?
But I haue vnderstanding aswel as you, and am not inferior vnto you: yea, who knoweth not such things?
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.
I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth vpon God, and he heareth him: the iust and the vpright is laughed to scorne.
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.
Hee that is readie to fall, is as a lampe despised in the opinion of the riche.
6 Rumang-ay dagiti tolda dagiti agtatakaw, ket natalged dagiti mangpapaunget iti Dios; dagiti bukodda nga ima dagiti diosda.
The tabernacles of robbers doe prosper, and they are in safetie, that prouoke God, whome God hath enriched with his hand.
7 Ngem ita damagem dagiti narungsot nga ayup, ket suroandaka; damagem dagiti billit kadagiti tangatang, ket ibagada kenka.
Aske now the beasts, and they shall teach thee, and the foules of the heauen, and they shall tell thee:
8 Wenno agsaoka iti daga, ket suroannaka daytoy; ibaganto kenka dagiti lames ti baybay.
Or speake to the earth, and it shall shewe thee: or the fishes of the sea, and they shall declare vnto thee.
9 Ania kadagitoy amin nga ayup ti saan a makaammo nga inaramid dagiti ima ti Dios daytoy—inikkanna ida iti biag—
Who is ignorant of all these, but that the hande of the Lord hath made these?
10 O Yahweh, siasino ti makin-iggem iti biag dagiti tunggal agbibiag a banag ken ti anges ti amin a sangkataoan?
In whose hande is the soule of euery liuing thing, and the breath of all mankinde.
11 Saan kadi a suboken ti lapayag dagiti sasao a kas iti panangraman ti dawat-dawat iti kanenna?
Doeth not the eares discerne the words? and the mouth taste meate for it selfe?
12 Ti adda iti nataengan a tao ket kinasirib; iti kinaatiddog dagiti aldaw ket pannakaawat.
Among the ancient is wisedome, and in the length of dayes is vnderstanding.
13 Adda iti Dios ti kinasirib ken bileg; addaan isuna iti nasayaat a kapanunotan ken pannakaawat.
With him is wisedome and strength: he hath counsell and vnderstanding.
14 Kitaenyo, mangrebba isuna, ket saanen a maibangon manen; no ibaludna ti maysa a tao, awanen ti pannakawayawaya.
Beholde, he will breake downe, and it can not be built: he shutteth a man vp, and he can not be loosed.
15 Kitaenyo, no pasardengenna dagiti danum, maattianan dagitoy; ket no burwanganna dagitoy, dadaelenda ti daga.
Beholde, he withholdeth the waters, and they drie vp: but when he sendeth them out, they destroy 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 wisedome: hee that is deceiued, and that deceiueth, are his.
17 Idalanna a sakasaka iti liday dagiti mammagbaga; pagbalinenna a maag dagiti ukom.
He causeth the counsellers to goe as spoyled, and maketh the iudges fooles.
18 Ikkatenna dagiti kawar ti turay manipud kadagiti ari; barikesenna ida iti lupot.
He looseth the collar of Kings, and girdeth their loynes with a girdle.
19 Iyadayona dagiti papadi a sakasaka iti liday ken parmekenna dagiti nabileg a tattao.
He leadeth away the princes as a pray, and ouerthroweth the mightie.
20 Ikkatenna dagiti sasao dagiti tattao a mapagtalkan ken ikkatenna dagiti pannakaawat dagiti panglakayen.
He taketh away the speach from the faithfull counsellers, and taketh away the iudgement of the ancient.
21 Ibukbukbukna ti pananglais kadagiti prinsipe ken ikkatenna dagiti barikes dagiti napipigsa a tattao.
He powreth contempt vpon princes, and maketh the strength of the mightie weake.
22 Ipakpakitana dagiti nauuneg a banbanag manipud iti kasipngetan ken iruarna iti lawag dagiti aniniwan nga ayan dagiti natay a tattao.
He discouereth the deepe places from their darkenesse, and bringeth foorth the shadowe of death to light.
23 Pappapigsaenna dagiti nasion, ket daddaelenna met dagitoy; palawaenna dagiti nasion, ket idalanna met ida a kas balud.
He increaseth the people, and destroyeth them: he inlargeth the nations, and bringeth them in againe.
24 Ik-ikkatenna ti pannakaawat manipud kadagiti panguloen dagiti tattao iti daga; pagalla-allaenna ida idiay let-ang nga awan ti dalan.
He taketh away the heartes of the that are the chiefe ouer the people of the earth, and maketh them to wander in the wildernes out of the way.
25 Agarikapda iti kasipngetan nga awan ti lawag; pagdiwer-diwerenna ida a kasla nabartek a tao.
They grope in the darke without light: and he maketh the to stagger like a drunken man.
