< Job 30 >

1 Ita, dagiti ub-ubing ngem siak ket awan ti ar-aramidenda no di ti manglais kaniak- dagitoy nga agtutubo a dagiti ammada ket pinagkedkedak koma nga agtrabaho a kadua dagiti asok iti arbanko.
But now they who are younger than I in years laugh at me, whose fathers I scorned to put as equals with the dogs of my flocks.
2 Pudno, ti kinapigsa dagiti ima ti amada, kasano koma a natulongandak - dagiti lallaki a ti kinapigsa ti kinalakayda ket napukawen?
Yea, what possible use can the strength of their hands be unto me, over whom old age hath passed fruitlessly?
3 Narapisda gapu iti kinapanglaw ken bisin; nagkibkibda iti namaga a daga idiay kasipngetan ti let-ang ken iti disso nga awan matagtagitaona.
Who suffer for want and famine in solitude; who flee into the wilderness [where all is] darkness, ruin, and desolation;
4 Nagpag-utda kadagiti naraboy a mulmula; dagiti ramut ti buyboy ti nagbalin a taraonda.
Who crop off mallows by the bushes, and have broom-bush roots as their bread;
5 Napapanawda manipud kadagiti tattao a nangpukkaw kadakuada, a kasla iti panangpukkaw iti maysa a tao iti agtatakaw.
Who are driven forth from among [men], who are shouted after as though they were thieves,
6 Isu a nagnaedda kadagiti tanap nga asideg iti karayan, kadagiti rukib ken kadagiti dadakkel a bato.
To dwell in the caverns of the valleys, in holes of the earth, and on naked cliffs.
7 Aggaraigida a kasla kadagiti asno iti nagbabaetan dagiti naraboy a mulmula; naguummongda iti sirok dagiti narabuy a mulmula.
Among the bushes they shriek; under briers they are huddled together,
8 Kaputotan ida dagiti maag, wen, dagiti awan serserbina a tattao; napapanawda iti daga babaen kadagiti saplit.
The children of the worthless, yea, the children of the nameless, who were outcasts from the land.
9 Ngem ita, pinagbalindak dagiti annakda a lallaki a pakasaritaan para iti kanta ti panglais; pudno, maysaak itan a paga-angawan kadakuada.
But now I am become their song, and I am become a byword unto them.
10 Karuroddak ken ad-adaywandak; kanayonda a tuptupraan ti rupak.
They loathe me, they keep themselves far from me, and from my face they withhold not their spittle.
11 Ta pinugsat ti Dios ti tali ti panak ket pinarigatnak, ken isu a napukaw amin ti panagteppel dagitoy a tattao iti sangoanak.
Because he hath loosened the cord of my bow, and afflicted me, they have also cast off the bridle before me.
12 Iti makannawan nga imak ken tumakder dagiti naranggas a tattao; pappapanawendak ken igabsuonda kaniak dagiti wagas ti panangdadaelda.
Against my right hand rise up this swarm of worthless youths: they push away my feet, and they level against me their calamity-bringing paths.
13 Daddadaelenda ti dalanko; iyas-asidegda ti didigra kaniak, lallaki nga awan ti uray maysa a manganawa kadakuada.
They destroy my footpath, they help forward my downfall, without any one to aid them.
14 Umaydak darupen a kasla maysa nga armada manipud iti nalawa nga abot iti pader ti siudad; itulidda dagiti bagbagida kaniak iti katingngaan ti pannakadadael.
As [through] a broad breach they come: amidst a loud noise they rolled themselves along.
15 Ti buteng ti nanglapunos kaniak; naipanaw ti dayawko a kasla intayab ti angin; napukaw ti kinarang-ayko a kasla ulep.
Terrors have turned their face against me; they chase like the wind my glory: and like a cloud is my happiness passed away.
16 Ita, maibukbukbok ti biagko manipud iti kaunggak; dagiti aldaw ti panagsagsagaba ti nangtengngel kaniak.
And now my soul is poured out over me; the days of affliction have seized on me;
17 Iti rabii, agut-ot dagiti tulangko; saan a sumardeng ti ut-ot a kasla mangkibkibkib kaniak.
All night it holloweth out my bones out of my body; and my pursuers take no rest.
18 Ginammatan ti kinapigsa ti Dios ti pagan-anayko; naiputipot daytoy kaniak a kasla iti kwelyo ti nagayad a pagan-anayko.
Through the Almlghty's power is my garment made unknown: like the opening of my coat hath he enclosed me.
19 Impalladawnak iti kapitakan; nagbalinak a kasla tapok ken dapu.
He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.
20 Immasugak kenka, O Dios, ngem dinak sungsungbatan; timmakderak, ket kimmitaka laeng kaniak.
I cry aloud unto thee, but thou answerest me not: I stand up, and thou fixest thy regard against me.
21 Nagbaliwkan ket nagbalinka a naulpit kaniak; babaen iti bileg ti imam, pinarigatnak.
Thou art changed into a cruel master toward me: with the strength of thy hand thou assailest me.
22 Impangatonak iti angin ket impallatoknak daytoy; dinadaelnak iti bagio.
Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to pass away, and dissolvest in me all wise counsel.
23 Ta ammok nga ipannakto iti patay, ti balay a nakaitudingan ti amin a sibibiag.
For I know that thou wilt bring me back to death, and to the house of assembly for all the living.
24 Nupay kasta, awan kadi ti tao a mangiyunnat iti imana a dumawat iti tulong no matinnag isuna? Awan kadi ti mariribukan a tao a dumawat iti tulong?
But doth not a man stretch out his hand among ruins? or doth one not cry out therefrom [for help] when he meeteth his downfall?
25 Saanak kadi a nagsangit para kenkuana a mariribukan? Saanak kadi a nagladingit para iti agkasapulan a tao?
Did I not weep for him that was hard pressed by misfortune? was not my soul grieved for the needy?
26 Idi nagbirukak ti naimbag, ket dakes ti dimteng; idi nagurayak iti lawag, kinasipnget ketdi ti dimteng.
That I hoped for good, but there came evil; and I waited for light, and there came darkness!
27 Mariribukan ti pusok ken saan nga agtalna; dimteng kaniak dagiti aldaw ti pannakaparigat.
My bowels heave, and rest not: the days of affliction have overcome me.
28 Ngimmisiten ti kudilko ngem saan a gapu iti init; nagtakderak iti taripnong ket dimmawatak iti tulong.
I walk about mournfully without sunlight: when I rise up, in the assembly, I cry with pain.
29 Kakabsatdak dagiti atap nga aso a kadua dagiti kullaaw.
I am a brother to [howling] monsters, and a companion to ostriches.
30 Nangisit ti kudilko ken agregregda manipud iti bagik; kasla napuoran dagiti tulangko gapu iti pudot.
My skin hangeth down black from me, and my bones are burnt from heat.
31 Ngarud, ti arpak ket nakatono kadagiti kanta a pangladingit, ti plautak a para iti panagkanta dagiti agdungdung-aw.
And thus is changed to mourning my harp, and my pipe to the sound of weeping.
