Job 16
1 Ket simmungbat ni Job ket kinunana,
And Job answered and said,
2 “Nakanggegakon kadagiti adu a kakasta a banbanag; nakaay-ay-aykayo amin a mangliwliwa.
I have heard many such things: grievous comforters are ye all.
3 Addanto kadi paggibusan dagiti awan serserbina a sasao? Ania ti parikutmo ta sumungbatka a kas iti daytoy?
Shall words of wind have an end? or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?
4 Mabalinko met ti agsao a kas kadakayo, no addakayo iti saadko; Mabalinko nga urnongen ken pagtitiponen dagiti sasao a maibusor kadakayo ken agwingiwingak kadakayo iti pananglais.
I also could speak as ye: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could join together words against you, and shake my head at you;
5 O, kasano a pabilgenkayo babaen ti ngiwatko! Kasano a pabang-aren ti panangliwliwa dagiti bibigko ti ladingityo!
[But] I would encourage you with my mouth, and the solace of my lips should assuage [your pain].
6 No agsaoak, saan a mabang-aran ti ladingitko; no isardengko ti agsasao, kasano a matulonganak?
If I speak, my pain is not assuaged; and if I forbear, what am I eased?
7 Ngem ita O Dios, binannognak; binaybay-am amin a pamiliak.
But now he hath made me weary; ...thou hast made desolate all my family;
8 Pinagkuretretnak, a maysa a saksi a maibusor kaniak; tumakder ti kinakuttong ti bagik a maibusor kaniak, ken agsaksi daytoy a maibusor iti rupak.
Thou hast shrivelled me up! it is become a witness; and my leanness riseth up against me, it beareth witness to my face.
9 Pinirsa-pirsaynak ti Dios iti pungtotna ken indadanesnak; Pinagngarietannak babaen ti ngipenna; pinatadem ti kabusorko dagiti matana kabayatan pirpirsayennak.
His anger teareth and pursueth me; he gnasheth with his teeth against me; [as] mine adversary he sharpeneth his eyes at me.
10 Ginuyabandak dagiti tattao; tinungpadak a siuumsi; naguummongda a maibusor kaniak.
They gape upon me with their mouth; they smite my cheeks reproachfully; they range themselves together against me.
11 Inyawatnak ti Dios kadagiti saan a nadiosan a tattao ken impurruaknak kadagiti ima dagiti nadangkes a tattao.
God hath delivered me over to the iniquitous man, and hurled me into the hands of the wicked.
12 Natalnaak idi, ket binuraknak. Wen, binekkelnak ken indumudomnak a napirsa-pirsay; insaadnak pay a kas pagpuntaan.
I was at rest, but he hath shattered me; he hath taken me by the neck and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
13 Palpalawlawandak dagiti pumapanana; tudtudoken ti Dios dagiti bekkelko, ken dinak kinaassian; imbukbokna ti aprok iti rabaw ti daga.
His arrows encompass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
14 Burburakenna ti didingko iti paulit-ulit; tumaray isuna nga umay kaniak a kasla maysa a mannakigubat.
He breaketh me with breach upon breach; he runneth upon me like a mighty man.
15 Nangidaitak iti nakirsang a lupot iti rabaw ti kudilko; Intudokko ti sarak iti rabaw iti daga.
I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and rolled my horn in the dust.
16 Nalabaga ti rupak iti panagsangsangit; adda kadagiti kalub ti matak ti aniniwan ni patay
My face is red with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
17 uray no awan ti kinaranggas kadagiti imak, ken nadalus ti kararagko.
Although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.
18 O daga, saanmo nga abbongan ti darak; awan koma ti disso a paginanaan ti asugko.
O earth, cover not my blood, and let there be no place for my cry!
19 Uray ita, adtoy, ti saksik ket adda iti langit; ti mangikalintegan kaniak ket adda iti ngato.
Even now, behold, my Witness is in the heavens, and he that voucheth for me is in the heights.
20 Uy-uyawendak dagiti gagayyemko, ngem agar-arubos ti lulua dagiti matak iti Dios.
My friends are my mockers; mine eye poureth out tears unto God.
21 Dawatek iti dayta a saksi iti langit nga ikalinteganna daytoy a tao iti Dios a kas ti ar-aramiden ti maysa a tao iti kaarubana!
Oh that there were arbitration for a man with God, as a son of man for his friend!
22 Ta no lumabas dagiti sumagmamano a tawtawen, mapanakto iti disso a saanakton a makasubli.
For years [few] in number shall pass, — and I shall go the way [whence] I shall not return.
