Job 20
1 Ket simmungbat ni Zofar a Naamatita ket kinunana,
Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
2 “Pasungbatennak a dagus dagiti kapanunotak gapu iti pakadanagan nga adda kaniak.
Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.
3 Nakangngegak kenka iti panagtubngar a nangibabain kaniak, ngem sinungbatannak ti espiritu a nangatngato ngem iti pannakaawatko.
I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causes me to answer.
4 Saanmo kadi nga ammo daytoy a kinapudno manipud idi un-unana a panawen, idi inkabil ti Dios ti tao iti daga:
Know you not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
5 ti panagballigi ti nadangkes a tao ket ababa, ken ti rag-o ti awan diosna a tao ket apagbiit laeng?
That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
6 Uray no dumanon ti kinatayagna kadagiti langlangit, ken tumukno ti ulona kadagiti ulep,
Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;
7 ngem mapukawto ti kasta a tao iti agnanayon a kas iti bukodna a takki; ibaganto dagiti nakakita kenkuana, 'Sadino ti ayanna?'
Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?
8 Tumayabto isuna a kasla tagtagainep ket saanto a masarakan; kinapudnona, mapukawto isuna a kasla iti sirmata iti rabii.
He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
9 Ti mata a nakakita kenkuana ket saannanton a makita pay isuna; saanton a makita pay isuna ti lugarna.
The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
10 Agkiddawto iti pammakawan dagiti annakna kadagiti nakurapay a tattao; isublinto dagiti imana ti kinabaknangna.
His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.
11 Napno iti pigsa ti kinaagtutubo dagiti tultulangna, ngem kaduananto daytoy nga agidda iti tapok.
His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.
12 Uray no nasam-it ti kinadangkes iti ngiwatna, uray no ilemmengna dagitoy iti sirok ti dilana,
Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
13 uray no tenglenna dagitoy sadiay ken saanna a palubosan ngem idulinna latta iti ngiwatna—
Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:
14 agbalin a napait ti taraon nga adda kadagiti bagisna; agbalin daytoy a sabidong dagiti uleg iti unegna.
Yet his food in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.
15 Alun-onenna dagiti kinabaknang, ngem isaruananto manen dagitoy; Ikkatento ti Dios dagitoy iti tianna.
He has swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
16 Susupennanto ti sabidong dagiti uleg; patayento isuna ti dila ti uleg.
He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.
17 Saanto isuna nga agbiag tapno ragsakenna a kitaen dagiti karayan ken dagiti waig nga agay-ayus iti diro ken mantikilia.
He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.
18 Aniaman a nagbannoganna, masapul nga isublinanto dagitoy; saannanto a tilmonen daytoy; saanto nga agrag-o isuna iti kinabaknang a nagun-odna.
That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.
19 Ta indadanes ken inlaksidna dagiti nakurapay a tattao; siraranggas nga innalana dagiti babbalay a saanna nga impatakder.
Because he has oppressed and has forsaken the poor; because he has violently taken away an house which he built not;
20 Gapu ta saanna nga ammo ti pannakapnek iti bagina, saanto a makaidulin isuna iti aniaman a banag a pakaragsakanna.
Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.
21 Awan pulos iti nabati a saanna nga inalun-on; ngarud, saanto nga agnanayon ti kinarang-ayna.
There shall none of his food be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.
22 Iti kinaaglaplapusanan ti kinabaknangna, matnagto isuna iti pakariribukan; umayto kenkuana ti ima ti tunggal maysa a napanglaw.
In the fullness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
23 No dandaninan punoen ti tianna, ipalladawto ti Dios ti narungsot a pungtotna kenkuana; patudoento ti Dios daytoy kenkuana kabayatan a mangmangan isuna.
When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.
24 Uray no maitarayanto dayta a tao ti igam a landok, ti bai a bronse ti mangpana kenkuana.
He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.
25 Tudokento ti pana ti likodanna ket rummuarto; kinapudnona, sumalpotto ti nasileng a murdong iti dalemna; umayto kenkuana dagiti kabutbuteng.
It is drawn, and comes out of the body; yea, the glittering sword comes out of his gall: terrors are upon him.
26 Naan-anay a kinasipnget ti nakasagana para kadagiti gamgamengna; ti apuy a saan a napuyotan ti manguramto kenkuana; ibusento ti apuy dagiti nabati iti toldana.
All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.
27 Iparangto dagiti langit ti kinadakesna, ken tumakderto ti daga a kas saksi a maibusor kenkuana.
The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.
28 Mapukawto ti kinabaknang iti balayna; maiyanudto dagiti sanikuana iti aldaw ti pungtot ti Dios.
The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
29 Daytoy ti bingay ti nadangkes a tao manipud iti Dios, ti tawid nga insagana ti Dios a para kenkuana.”
This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
