Job 24
1 Apay a saan nga ikeddeng ti Mannakabalin-amin dagiti tiempo para iti panangukom kadagiti nadangkes a tattao? Apay a saan a makita dagiti napudno iti Dios ti iyuumay dagiti aldaw a panangukomna?
But why have the seasons been hidden from the Lord,
2 Adda dagiti nadangkes a tattao nga agiyakar kadagiti pagilasinan ti beddeng; adda dagiti nadangkes a tattao nga agagaw kadagiti arban ket ikabilda kadagiti bukodda a pagpaaraban.
while the ungodly have passed over the bound, carrying off the flock with the shepherd?
3 Ipanawda ti asno dagiti awanan ti amma; Alaenda ti kalakian a baka ti balo a kas pammatalged.
They have led away, the ass of the fatherless, and taken the widow's ox for a pledge.
4 Pilitenda a paglisien dagiti agkasapulan a tattao kadagiti pagnaanda; ilemmengan ida amin dagiti napanglaw a tattao iti daga.
They have turned aside the weak from the right way: and the meek of the earth have hidden themselves together.
5 Kitaenyo, rummuar dagitoy a napanglaw a tattao a mapan iti trabahoda a kasla kadagiti atap nga asno iti let-ang, nga agbirbiruk a naimbag iti makan; nalabit nga ipaayan ida ti Araba iti taraon para kadagiti annakda.
And they have departed like asses in the field, having gone forth on my account according to their own order: his bread is sweet to [his] little ones.
6 Agapit dagiti napanglaw a tattao iti rabii kadagiti taltalon dagiti sabali a tattao; agtudtudda kadagiti ubas manipud iti nagapitan dagiti nadangkes a tattao.
They have reaped a field that was not their own before the time: the poor have laboured in the vineyards of the ungodly without pay and without food.
7 Agiddada a lamo-lamo iti agpatpatnag nga awanan ti pagan- anay; awan ti pagabbongda iti lammiis.
They have caused many naked to sleep without clothes, and they have taken away the covering of their body.
8 Mabasbasada kadagiti arbis dagiti bantay; agiddada iti abay dagiti dadakkel a bato gapu ta awan ti paglinonganda.
They are wet with the drops of the mountains: they have embraced the rock, because they had no shelter.
9 Adda dagiti nadangkes a tattao nga agagaw kadagiti ulila manipud iti barukong dagiti innada, ken nadangkes a tattao nga agala kadagiti annak a kas pammatalged manipud kadagiti napanglaw a tattao.
They have snatched the fatherless from the breast, and have afflicted the outcast.
10 Ngem rummuar a lamo-lamo dagiti napanglaw a tattao nga awanan ti pagan-anay; uray no mapanda a mabisbisin, awitenda dagiti rineppet a dawa dagiti dadduma a tattao.
And they have wrongfully caused [others] to sleep without clothing, and taken away the morsel of the hungry.
11 Agar-aramid dagiti napanglaw a tattao ti lana kadagiti uneg dagiti pader dagiti nadangkes a tattao; baddebaddekanda dagiti pagpespesan ti arak dagiti nadangkes a tattao, ngem isuda a mismo ket mawaw.
They have unrighteously laid wait in narrow places, and have not known the righteous way.
12 Iti siudad, umas-asug dagiti tattao; agpukpukkaw dagiti nasugatan a tattao, ngem saan nga ipangpangag ti Dios dagiti karkararagda.
Who have cast forth [the] poor from the city and their own houses, and the soul of the children has groaned aloud.
13 Ti sumagmamano kadagiti nadangkes a tattao ket bumusor iti lawag; saanda nga ammo dagiti dalanna, wenno saanda nga agtalinaed kadagiti pagnaanna.
Why then has he not visited these? forasmuch as they were upon the earth, and took no notice, and they knew not the way of righteousness, neither have they walked in their [appointed] paths?
14 Agtakder ti mammapatay iti lawag; papatayenna ti napanglaw ken dagiti agkasapulan a tattao; iti rabii, kasla maysa isuna nga agtatakaw.
But having known their works, he delivered them into darkness: and in the night one will be as a thief:
15 Maysa pay, ur-urayen ti mata ti mannakikamalala ti sardam; kunkunana, 'Awan iti mata a makakita kaniak.' Manglimlimo ti rupana.
and the eye of the adulterer has watched [for] the darkness, saying, Eye shall not perceive me, and he puts a covering on his face.
16 Iti kasipngetan, agkali dagiti nadangkes a tattao kadagiti babbalay; ngem ilemmengda dagiti bagbagida iti aldaw; awan pakibibbianganda iti lawag.
In darkness he digs through houses: by day they conceal themselves securely: they know not the light.
17 Ta kadakuada amin, ti agsapa ket kasla iti nakaro a kinasipnget; nanam-ayda kadagiti pagbutbutngan iti nakaro a sipnget.
For the morning is to them all [as] the shadow of death, for [each] will be conscious of the terror of the shadow of death.
18 Nupay kasta, matayda iti apagbiit, a kasla iti labutab iti rabaw dagiti dandanum; nailunod dagiti pasetda iti daga; awan ti siasinoman a mapan agtrabaho kadagiti kaubasanda.
He is swift on the face of the water: let his portion be cursed on the earth; and let their plants be laid bare.
19 Runrunawen ti tikag ken pudot dagiti niebe a danum; kasta met a runrunawen ti sheol dagiti nagbasol. (Sheol h7585)
[Let them be] withered upon the earth; for they have plundered the sheaves of the fatherless. (Sheol h7585)
20 Lipatento isuna ti aanakan a nangipasngay kenkuana; sisasam-itto a mangan ti igges kenkuana; saanton a malagip isuna; iti kastoy a wagas, madadaelto ti kinadangkes a kasla iti maysa a kayo.
Then is his sin brought to remembrance, and he vanishes like a vapor of dew: but let what he has done be recompensed to him, and let every unrighteous one be crushed like rotten wood.
21 Al-alun-unen ti nadangkes a tao dagiti lupes a babbai a saan a naganak; awan ti nasayaat nga ar-aramidenna kadagiti balo.
For he has not treated the barren woman well, and has had no pity on a feeble woman.
22 Ngem guyoden nga iyadayo ti Dios dagiti nabibileg a tattao babaen iti pannakabalinna; tumakder isuna ket saanna ida a papigsaen iti biag.
And in wrath he has overthrown the helpless: therefore when he has arisen, [a man] will not feel secure of his own life.
23 Ipalubos ti Dios a panunotenda a natalgedda, ket naragsakda iti maipanggep iti dayta, ngem adda dagiti matana kadagiti dalanda.
When he has fallen sick, let him not hope to recover: but let him perish by disease.
24 Naitan-ok dagitoy a tattao; nupay kasta, iti apagbiit laeng, mapukawdanto; pudno, maipababadanto; maurnongdanto a kasla kadagiti amin a dadduma a tattao; maputeddanto a kasla kadagiti murdong dagiti dawa ti trigo.
For his exaltation has hurt many; but he has withered as mallows in the heat, or as an ear of corn falling off of itself from the stalk.
25 No saan ngarud a kasta, siasino ti makapaneknek nga ulbodak; siasino ti makaibaga nga awan pategna dagiti sasaok?”
But if not, who is he that says I speak falsely, and will make my words of no account?
