Job 17
1 Naibus ti espirituk, ken aggibusen dagiti al-aldawko; nakasaganan ti tanem a para kaniak.
My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.
2 Pudno nga adda dagiti mananglalais a kaduak; masapul a kankanayon a makitkita ti matak iti pananggargarida.
Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
3 Mangtedka ita ti maysa a sapata, agbalinka koma a pammatalged a maipaay kaniak; siasino pay iti adda a tumulong kaniak?
Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?
4 Ta linapdam O Dios dagiti pusoda manipud ti pannakaawat; saanmonto ngarud itan-ok ida kaniak.
For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
5 Ti mangakusar kadagiti gagayyemna a maipaay iti gunggona, kumapoyto dagiti mata dagiti annakna.
He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
6 Ngem inaramidnak a maysa a balikas a kanayon nga us-usaren dagiti tattao, tuptupraanda ti rupak.
He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
7 Nakudrep met ti matak gapu iti ladingit; nakuttong dagiti amin a paset ti bagik a kas ti kinakuttong ti aniniwan.
Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
8 Agsiddaawto dagiti nalinteg a lallaki gapu iti daytoy; makaungetto ti awan basolna a tao maibusor kadagiti nadangkes a lallaki.
Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
9 Agtalinaedto ti nalinteg a tao iti dalanna; ad-addanto pay a pumigsa dagiti addaan iti nadalus nga im-ima.
The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
10 Ngem maipapan kadakayo amin, umaykayo ita; saanakto a makasarak iti masirib a tao kadakayo.
But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.
11 Naglabasen dagiti al-aldawko, naggibusen dagiti panggepko, uray dagiti tartarigagayan ti pusok.
My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
12 Baliwan dagitoy a tattao, dagitoy a mananglalais, ti rabii iti aldaw; ti lawag, kunada nga asideg iti kinasipnget.
They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
13 Agsipud ta kitkitaek ti sheol a kas balayko; agsipud ta inyukradko ti iddak iti kasipngetan, (Sheol h7585)
If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness. (Sheol h7585)
14 agsipud ta imbagak iti abut, 'Sika ti Amak,' ken iti igges, 'Sika ti inak ken kabsatko a babai,'
I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
15 sadino ngaruden ti ayan ti namnamak? Maipapan ti namnamak, siasino ti makakita ti aniaman?
And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
