< Job 29 >

1 Intuloy ni Job ti nagsao ket kinunana,
And he repeated Job to take up discourse his and he said.
2 “O, a kaslaak la koma kadagiti naglabas a bulbulan idi inaywanannak ti Dios,
Who? will he give me like months of long ago like [the] days [when] God he watched over me.
3 idi nagraniag ti silawna iti ulok, ken idi nagnaak iti kasipngetan babaen iti lawagna.
When made shine he lamp his over head my to light his I walked darkness.
4 O, a kasla ak koma idi kabanbanwagak nga al-aldaw idi adda pay laeng iti uneg ti toldak ti pannakigayyem ti Dios,
Just as I was in [the] days of prime my in [the] intimacy of God on tent my.
5 idi adda pay laeng iti sidongko ti Mannakabalin-amin, ken adda pay iti dennak dagiti annakko,
While still [the] Almighty [was] with me [were] around me lads my.
6 idi agtaptapaw ti gatas iti dalanko, ken idi bukbukannak iti agay-ayus a lana ti dakkel a bato!
When bathed steps my in curd and a rock it poured out beside me streams of oil.
7 Idi rimmuarak a mapan iti ruangan ti siudad, idi nagtugawak iti lugarko idiay paguummongan iti siudad,
When went out I [the] gate on [the] town in the public square I prepared seat my.
8 nakitadak dagiti agtutubo ket immadayoda bassit kaniak ken timmakder dagiti nataengan a tattao kas panagraemda kaniak.
They saw me young men and they hid themselves and old [men] they rose they stood.
9 Sumardeng nga agsasao idi dagiti prinsipe no dumtengak; appotenda dagiti ngiwatda babaen kadagiti imada.
Chiefs they restrained words and a hand they put to mouth their.
10 Napaulimek dagiti natakneng a tattao, ket dimket dagiti dilada iti ngangaw dagiti ngiwatda.
[the] voice of Nobles they were hidden and tongue their to palate their it stuck.
11 Ta kalpasan mangngegandak ket bendisionandak; idi nakitadak, nagbalindan a saksik ken inanamongandak
For an ear it heard and it called blessed me and an eye it saw and it bore witness to me.
12 gapu ta isispalek idi ti napanglaw a tao nga umasug, ken kasta met dagiti awanan ti ama, nga awanan iti siasinoman a tumulong kenkuana.
That I rescued [the] afflicted [who] cried for help and [the] fatherless and [the one whom] not a helper [belonged] to him.
13 Ti bendision ti tao a dandanin matay ket naited kaniak; pinagkantak a sirarag-o ti puso ti balo.
[the] blessing of [one] about to perish On me it came and [the] heart of a widow I made sing for joy.
14 Insuotko ti kinalinteg, ket kinawesannak daytoy; kasla kagay ken turban ti kalintegak.
Righteousness I put on and it clothed me [was] like a robe and a turban justice my.
15 Nagbalinak a mata kadagiti bulsek a tattao; nagbalinak a saka kadagiti lugpi a tattao.
Eyes I was to the blind and [was] feet to the lame I.
16 Nagbalinak nga ama kadagiti agkasapulan a tattao; adalek ti kaso uray iti maysa a tao a saanko nga am-ammo.
[was] a father I to the needy [people] and a case at law of [the one whom] not I knew I investigated it.
17 Tinukkolko ti panga ti saan a nalinteg a tao; rinabsutko ti nakimmeg manipud iti nagbaetan dagiti ngipenna.
And I broke! [the] jaws of [the] unrighteous and from teeth his I threw [the] prey.
18 Kalpasanna kinunak, 'Matayakto iti umokko; paaddoekto dagiti aldawko a kasla kadagiti darat.
And I said with nest my I will expire and like sand I will increase days.
19 Nagwaras dagiti ramutko kadagiti danum, ken agtalinaed ti linnaaw kadagiti sangak iti agpatpatnag.
Root my [is] opened to water and dew it will remain overnight on branch[es] my.
20 Ti dayawko ket kanayon a nalapsat, ken ti pana ti pigsak ket kanayon a barbaro iti imak.
Honor my [is] new with me and bow my in hand my it will show newness.
21 Dinengngegdak dagiti tattao; inuraydak; nagulimekda a dumngeg iti balakadko.
To me people listened and they waited and they may be silent for counsel my.
22 Kalpasan ti panagsaok, saandan a nagsao; nagtinnag a kasla danum dagiti sasaok kadakuada.
After word my not they repeated and on them it dropped speech my.
23 Kanayondak nga ur-urayen a kas iti panagurayda iti tudo; inungapda ti ngiwatda iti nalawa tapno uminomda kadagiti sasaok, a kas iti ar-aramidenda iti maudi a tudo.
And they waited like the rain for me and mouth their they opened wide for spring rain.
24 Inisemak ida idi saanda a namnamaen daytoy; saanda a linaksid ti raniag ti rupak.
I laughed to them not they believed and [the] light of face my not they made fall!
25 Pinilik ti wagasda ket nagbalinak a kas panguloda; nagbiagak a kas iti maysa nga ari kadagiti armadana, kas maysa a mangliwliwa kadagiti agdung-dung-aw iti natayan.
I chose way their so I may sit [as] chief so I may dwell like a king among the troop[s] just as mourners someone comforts.
