Job 31

1 Nakitulagak kadagiti matak; kasano ngarud ti rumbeng a panangmatmatko nga addaan tarigagay iti maysa a birhen?

I reached an agreement with my eyes, that I would not so much as think about a virgin.

2 Ta ania ti paset manipud iti Dios idiay ngato, ti tawid manipud iti Mannakabalin amin nga adda idiay ngato?

For what portion should God from above hold for me, and what inheritance should the Almighty from on high keep?

3 Ipagarupko idi a ti kalamidad ket para kadagiti saan a nalinteg a tattao, ken ti didigra ket para kadagiti agar-aramid iti kinadangkes.

Is not destruction held for the wicked and repudiation kept for those who work injustice?

4 Saan kadi a makitkita ti Dios dagiti wagasko ken saanna kadi a mabilang dagiti amin nga addangko?

Does he not examine my ways and number all my steps?

5 No nagnaak iti kinaulbod, no nagdardaras ti sakak a mangallilaw,

If I have walked in vanity, or if my foot has hurried towards deceitfulness,

6 (maitimbangak koma iti husto tapno maammoan ti Dios ti kinapudnok)

let him weigh me in a just balance, and let God know my simplicity.

7 no ti addangko ket simmiasi manipud iti nalinteg a dalan, no sinurot ti pusok dagiti matak, no adda kimmapet a mansa iti kinarugit kadagiti imak,

If my steps have turned aside from the way, or if my heart has followed my eyes, or if a blemish has clung to my hands,

8 ngarud, agmulaak koma ket maipakan koma iti sabali; pudno, maparut koma dagiti apit iti talonko.

then may I sow, and let another consume, and let my offspring be eradicated.

9 No naguyugoy ti pusok iti sabali a babai, no naglemmengak a naguray iti likod ti ridaw ti kaarubak para iti asawana,

If my heart has been deceived over a woman, or if I have waited in ambush at my friend’s door,

10 aggiling koma ngarud ti asawak iti trigo para iti sabali a lalaki ken makikaidda koma ti sabali a lalaki kenkuana.

then let my wife be the harlot of another, and let other men lean over her.

11 Ta nakaam-amak dayta nga aramid; pudno, aramid dayta a madusa babaen kadagiti ukom.

For this is a crime and a very great injustice.

12 Ta dayta ket apuy a mangikisap iti amin a banag para iti sheol ken manguram kadagiti amin nga apitko.

It is a fire devouring all the way to perdition, and it roots out all that springs forth.

13 No saanko nga inkaskaso ti asug iti hustisia dagiti adipenko a lallaki wenno babbai idi nakisinnupiatda kaniak,

If I have despised being subject to judgment with my servant or my maid, when they had any complaint against me,

14 ania ngarud ti aramidek inton tumakder ti Dios a mangpabasol kaniak? Inton umay isuna a mangukom kaniak, kasanoakto a sumungbat kenkuana?

then what will I do when God rises to judge, and, when he inquires, how will I respond to him?

15 Saan kadi a ti nangaramid kaniak iti aanakan ti inak ket isu met ti nangaramid kadakuada? Saan kadi nga isuna met laeng iti nangsukog kadatayo amin iti aanakan ti inatayo?

Is not he who created me in the womb, also he who labored to make him? And did not one and the same form me in the womb?

16 No nilappedak dagiti nakurapay a tattao manipud iti tarigagayda wenno no pinaglidemko ti mata ti balo iti panagsangsangitna

If I have denied the poor what they wanted and have made the eyes of the widow wait;

17 wenno no kinnanko a sisiak ti taraonko ken saanko a pinalubusan a mangan met dagiti ulila—

if I have eaten my morsel of food alone, while orphans have not eaten from it;

18 (ngem, manipud iti kinaubingko kaduak a dimmakkel ti ulila a kas addaan iti ama ken tinarabayko ti inana, maysa a balo manipud iti aanakan ti bukodko nga ina) —

(for from my infancy mercy grew with me, and it came out with me from my mother’s womb; )

19 no nakakitaak ti maysa a napukaw ta awan pagan-anayna, wenno no nakakitaak iti tao nga agkasapulan nga awan pagan-anayna;

if I have looked down on him who was perishing because he had no clothing and the poor without any covering,

20 no saannak a binendisionan ti pusona gapu ta saan isuna a napudotan iti lupot a nagtaud iti buok ti karnerok,

if his sides have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

21 no ingngatok dagiti imak a maibusor kadagiti ulila gapu ta nakitak ti tulongko iti ruangan ti siudad—

if I have lifted up my hand over an orphan, even when it might seem to me that I have the advantage over him at the gate;

22 ket malip-ak koma ti abagak manipud iti nagsuopanna ken matukkol koma ti takkiagko manipud iti nagsaepanna.

then may my shoulder fall from its joint, and may my arm, with all its bones, be broken.

23 Ta nakabutbuteng kaniak ti didigra a naggapu iti Dios; gapu iti kinatan-okna, awan ti maaramidko kadagitoy a banbanag,

For I have always feared God, like waves flowing over me, whose weight I was unable to bear.

24 No pinagbalinko a namnamak ti balitok ken no kinunak iti nasayaat a balitok, “Sika ti pagtaltalkak';

If I have considered gold to be my strength, or if I have called purified gold ‘my Trust;’

25 no nagrag-oak gapu ta adu ti kinabaknangko, gapu ta adu ti natagikua ti imak a sanikua.

if I have rejoiced over my great success, and over the many things my hand has obtained;

26 no nakitak ti init idi nagraniag, wenno ti bulan a magmagna iti lawagna,

if I gazed upon the sun when it shined and the moon advancing brightly,

27 ken no sililimed a naguyugoy ti pusok, tapno agkak dagiti imak nga agrukbab kadakuada—

so that my heart rejoiced in secret and I kissed my hand with my mouth,

28 aramidto met daytoy a maikkan ti pannusa babaen kadagiti ukom, ta inlibakko ti Dios nga adda idiay ngato.

which is a very great iniquity and a denial against the most high God;

29 No nagrag-oak iti pannakadadael ti siasinoman a nanggura kaniak wenno kinabblaawak ti bagik no didigra ti nangkamakam kenkuana—

if I have been glad at the ruin of him who hated me and have exulted that evil found him,

30 (pudno, saanko nga impalubos nga agbasol ti ngiwatko babaen ti panangdawatko iti biagna a mailunod)

for I have not been given my throat to sin by asking for a curse on his soul;

31 no saan a pulos a kinuna dagiti lallaki iti toldak, 'Siasino ti makasarak iti tao a saan a napnek iti taraon ni Job?'

if the men around my tabernacle have not said: “He might give us some of his food, so that we will be filled,”

32 (saan a pulos a kasapulan nga agnaed ti ganggannaet iti kalsada ti siudad; ngem ketdi, kanayonko nga ilukat dagiti ruanganko para kadagiti agdaldaliasat)

for the foreigner did not remain at the door, my door was open to the traveler;

33 no, kas kadagiti tattao, inlemmengko dagiti basolko babaen iti panangilemmeng iti basolko iti uneg ti tunikak—

if, as man does, I have hidden my sin and have concealed my iniquity in my bosom;

34 gapu ta nagbutengak kadagiti adu a tattao, gapu ta ti panangtagibassit dagiti pamilya ti nangbuteng kaniak isu a nagulimekak ken saanak a rimmuar iti balayko.

if I became frightened by an excessive crowd, and the disrespect of close relatives alarmed me, so that I would much rather have remained silent or have gone out the door;

35 O, no adda laeng koma dumngeg kaniak! Adtoy, daytoy ti pirmak; sungbatannak koma ti Mannakabalin amin! No adda laeng koma kaniak ti darum nga insurat dagiti kabusorko!

then, would he grant me a hearing, so that the Almighty would listen to my desire, and he who judges would himself write a book,

36 Awan duadua a silulukat nga ibaklayko daytoy iti abagak; ikabilko iti ulok a kasla maysa a korona.

which I would then carry on my shoulder and wrap around me like a crown?

37 Ipakaammok kenkuana ti bilang dagiti addangko; kas natalek a prinsipe, mapanak kenkuana.

With each of my steps, I would pronounce and offer it, as if to a prince.

38 No umkis ti dagak maibusor kaniak, ken agsangit dagiti guritna,

So, if my land cries out against me, and if its furrows weep with it,

39 no kinnanko dagiti apitna a saanko a binayadan daytoy wenno pinukawko ti biag dagiti akinkukua,

if I have used its fruits for nothing but money and have afflicted the souls of its tillers,

40 ket agtubo koma ngarud dagiti siit imbes a trigo ken ruruot imbes a sebada.” Nalpasen dagiti sasao ni Job.

then, may thistles spring forth for me instead of grain, and thorns instead of barley. (This ended the words of Job.)
