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 men who are younger than I am make fun of me— men whose fathers I greatly despised, with the result that I would not even have allowed them to help my dogs guard my sheep.
2 Pudno, ti kinapigsa dagiti ima ti amada, kasano koma a natulongandak - dagiti lallaki a ti kinapigsa ti kinalakayda ket napukawen?
They were men who were old and (weak/worn out); so (what could I gain from them working for me?/I would have gained nothing from them working for me.) [RHQ]
3 Narapisda gapu iti kinapanglaw ken bisin; nagkibkibda iti namaga a daga idiay kasipngetan ti let-ang ken iti disso nga awan matagtagitaona.
They were very poor and hungry, with the result that they chewed on roots [at night] in dry and desolate places.
4 Nagpag-utda kadagiti naraboy a mulmula; dagiti ramut ti buyboy ti nagbalin a taraonda.
They pulled up plants in the desert [and ate them] and warmed themselves by [burning] the roots of broom trees.
5 Napapanawda manipud kadagiti tattao a nangpukkaw kadakuada, a kasla iti panangpukkaw iti maysa a tao iti agtatakaw.
Everyone shouted at them as though they were thieves and expelled them [from their areas].
6 Isu a nagnaedda kadagiti tanap nga asideg iti karayan, kadagiti rukib ken kadagiti dadakkel a bato.
They were forced to live in caves in the hills, in holes in the ground, and in the sides of cliffs.
7 Aggaraigida a kasla kadagiti asno iti nagbabaetan dagiti naraboy a mulmula; naguummongda iti sirok dagiti narabuy a mulmula.
In the bushes they howled [like animals because they were hungry], and they huddled together under thornbushes.
8 Kaputotan ida dagiti maag, wen, dagiti awan serserbina a tattao; napapanawda iti daga babaen kadagiti saplit.
They were people without good sense, whose names no one knows; they have been expelled from the land [where they were born].
9 Ngem ita, pinagbalindak dagiti annakda a lallaki a pakasaritaan para iti kanta ti panglais; pudno, maysaak itan a paga-angawan kadakuada.
“And now their [children] sing songs to make fun of me. They tell jokes about me.
10 Karuroddak ken ad-adaywandak; kanayonda a tuptupraan ti rupak.
They are disgusted with me, and they [usually] stay away from me, [but when they see me, ] they are happy to spit in my face.
11 Ta pinugsat ti Dios ti tali ti panak ket pinarigatnak, ken isu a napukaw amin ti panagteppel dagitoy a tattao iti sangoanak.
Because [it is as though] [MET] God has cut my bowstring, [he has caused me to be unable to defend myself, ] and he has humbled me, and my enemies have done to me whatever they wanted.
12 Iti makannawan nga imak ken tumakder dagiti naranggas a tattao; pappapanawendak ken igabsuonda kaniak dagiti wagas ti panangdadaelda.
(Gangs/Groups of violent youths) attack me and force me to run away; they prepare to destroy me.
13 Daddadaelenda ti dalanko; iyas-asidegda ti didigra kaniak, lallaki nga awan ti uray maysa a manganawa kadakuada.
They prevent me from escaping, and they [do] not [need] anyone to help them (OR, there is no one to help me).
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.
[It is as though I am a city wall and] [SIM] they have broken through the wall, and they have come crashing down on me.
15 Ti buteng ti nanglapunos kaniak; naipanaw ti dayawko a kasla intayab ti angin; napukaw ti kinarang-ayko a kasla ulep.
I am very terrified; My dignity/honor has been taken away as though [SIM] [it has been] blown away by the wind, and my prosperity has disappeared like [SIM] clouds disappear.
16 Ita, maibukbukbok ti biagko manipud iti kaunggak; dagiti aldaw ti panagsagsagaba ti nangtengngel kaniak.
“And now I [SYN] am about to die [IDM]; I suffer every day.
17 Iti rabii, agut-ot dagiti tulangko; saan a sumardeng ti ut-ot a kasla mangkibkibkib kaniak.
My bones ache during the night, and the pain that torments me never stops.
18 Ginammatan ti kinapigsa ti Dios ti pagan-anayko; naiputipot daytoy kaniak a kasla iti kwelyo ti nagayad a pagan-anayko.
[It is as though God] seizes my clothes and chokes me with the collar of my coat.
19 Impalladawnak iti kapitakan; nagbalinak a kasla tapok ken dapu.
He has thrown me into the mud; I am [not worth anything more than] dust and ashes.
20 Immasugak kenka, O Dios, ngem dinak sungsungbatan; timmakderak, ket kimmitaka laeng kaniak.
“I cry out to God, but he does not answer/help me; I stand up [and pray], but he does not pay any attention.
21 Nagbaliwkan ket nagbalinka a naulpit kaniak; babaen iti bileg ti imam, pinarigatnak.
He acts very cruelly toward me; with all of his power [MTY] he causes me to suffer.
22 Impangatonak iti angin ket impallatoknak daytoy; dinadaelnak iti bagio.
He [allows] the wind to lift me up and blow me away, and he tosses me up and down in a violent storm.
23 Ta ammok nga ipannakto iti patay, ti balay a nakaitudingan ti amin a sibibiag.
I know that he will cause me to die, which is what happens to everyone [MTY] who is alive.
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?
“When people experience disasters, and they sit on a pile of ruins and cry out for help, others surely [RHQ] reach out their hand to help them.
25 Saanak kadi a nagsangit para kenkuana a mariribukan? Saanak kadi a nagladingit para iti agkasapulan a tao?
[That is what I did previously]. I wept for people who were experiencing troubles, and I felt sorry for poor/needy people.
26 Idi nagbirukak ti naimbag, ket dakes ti dimteng; idi nagurayak iti lawag, kinasipnget ketdi ti dimteng.
But when I expected good things [to happen to me], evil things happened; when I waited for light/happiness, all I experienced was darkness/unhappiness [MET].
27 Mariribukan ti pusok ken saan nga agtalna; dimteng kaniak dagiti aldaw ti pannakaparigat.
I am very distressed [IDM], all the time; I suffer every day.
28 Ngimmisiten ti kudilko ngem saan a gapu iti init; nagtakderak iti taripnong ket dimmawatak iti tulong.
I go about very discouraged; I stand up and plead for people to help me.
29 Kakabsatdak dagiti atap nga aso a kadua dagiti kullaaw.
My wailing sounds as sad as [MET] the cries of jackals/foxes and ostriches.
30 Nangisit ti kudilko ken agregregda manipud iti bagik; kasla napuoran dagiti tulangko gapu iti pudot.
My skin has become dark/black and is peeling off, and I have a fever [which causes my body to feel like it is] burning.
31 Ngarud, ti arpak ket nakatono kadagiti kanta a pangladingit, ti plautak a para iti panagkanta dagiti agdungdung-aw.
Previously, I played joyful music on my harp and with my flute, but now I play only the sad music of those who mourn.”
