Job 34
1 Intuloy pay ni Elihu ti nagsao:
Furthermore Elihu responded, and said: —
2 “Dumngegkayo iti sasaok, dakayo a masisirib a lallaki; dumngegkayo kaniak dakayo nga addaan pannakaamo.
Hear, ye wise men, my words, and, ye who know, give ear unto me;
3 Ta mangngeg ti lapayag ti sasao a kas iti dila a ramananna ti taraon.
For, the ear, trieth words, as, the palate, tasteth in eating.
4 Pilientayo ti nalinteg para iti bagitayo: sukimatentayo ti pagsayaatan ti bagbagitayo.
What is right, let us choose for ourselves, Let us know, among ourselves, what is good;
5 Ta kinuna ti Job, 'Nalintegak, ngem inikkat ti Dios ti kalintegak.
For Job hath said—I am righteous, But, GOD, hath turned away my right;
6 Malaksid kadagiti kalintegak, naibilangak nga ulbod. Saan a maagasan ti sugatko, uray awan basolko.'
Concerning mine own right, shall I tell a falsehood? Incurable is my disease—not for any transgression.
7 Ania a kita ti tao ti kasla kenni Job a nanginom iti pannakalais a kasla danum,
What man is like Job? He drinketh in scoffing like water;
8 a makikadkadua kadagiti agar-aramid iti dakes, ken makikuykuyog kadagiti nadangkes a tattao?
And is on the way to keep company, with the workers of iniquity, and to walk with lawless men.
9 Ta kinunana, 'Awan ti serbina iti maysa a tao iti panagar-aramid iti pagayatan ti Dios.'
For he hath said, It profiteth not a man, when, his good pleasure, is with God.
10 Isu a dumngegkayo kaniak, dakayo a tattao a makaawat: adayo nga agaramid ti Dios iti kinadangkes; adayo nga agaramid ti Mannakabalin amin iti basol.
Wherefore, ye men of mind, hearken unto me, —Far be it, that, GOD, should be lawless, or, the Almighty, be perverse!
11 Ta baybayadanna ti trabaho ti maysa a tao; gungunnaanna ti tunggal tao a kas maiyannurot kadagiti bukodna a wagas.
For, what any son of earth doeth, he repayeth him, and, according to every man’s course, he causeth him to find.
12 Pudno, awan ti ar-aramiden ti Dios a kinadangkes, wenno saan a balballikugen ti Mannakabalin amin ti hustisia.
Nay, verily, GOD, will not condemn unjustly, —nor, the Almighty, pervert justice.
13 Siasino ti nangisaad kenkuana nga agturay iti daga? Siasino ti nangikabil iti lubong iti turayna?
Who set him in charge of the earth? Or who appointed [him] the whole world?
14 No ti amin a panpanunotenna ket para laeng kenkuana, ken no ibabawina ti espirituna ken angesna,
If he should set against him his heart, His spirit and his inspiration, unto himself he should withdraw.
15 ket mapukaw amin a lasag; agsubli manen ti sangkataoan iti tapok.
All flesh together, would cease to breathe, and, the earth-born, unto dust, would return.
16 No ita ket addaanka ti pannakaawat, denggem daytoy; alingagem dagiti sasaok.
If then [thou hast] understanding, hear this, Give thou ear to the teaching of my words: —
17 Makaituray kadi ti maysa a tao a gumugura iti hustisia? Pabasulem kadi ti Dios a nalinteg ken nabileg?
Shall, the very hater of right, control? Or, the just—the mighty one, wilt thou condemn?
18 Ti Dios a nangibaga iti maysa nga ari, 'Managbasolka,' wenno mangibaga kadagiti natakneng, 'Nadangkeskayo'?
Doth one say to a king, Abandoned one! Or, Lawless one! unto nobles?
19 Ti Dios a saan a mangidumduma kadagiti papangulo ken saanna a bigbigen a nangatngato dagiti nababaknang a tattao ngem kadagiti nakurapay, ta inaramid ida amin ti imana.
For he hath shewn no respect of persons unto princes, neither hath he recognised the rich rather than the poor? For, the work of his hands, are they all.
20 Mataydanto iti apagdarikmat; masinganto dagiti tattao iti tengnga iti rabii ket mataydanto; maikkatto dagiti nabibileg a tattao, ngem saan a babaen kadagiti ima iti tao.
In a moment, they die, even in the middle of the night, —A people are convulsed when they pass away, A mighty one is removed, without hand;
21 Ta dagiti mata ti Dios ket adda kadagiti wagas ti maysa a tao; makitkitana amin nga addangna.
For, his eyes, are on the ways of a man, and, all his footsteps, he beholdeth, —
22 Awan ti kinasipnget, awan ti nasipnget a mabalin a paglemmengan dagiti agar-aramid iti dakes.
No darkness, and no death-shade, where the workers of iniquity may hide.
23 Ta saanen a kasapulan a sukimaten pay ti Dios ti tao; saanen a kasapulan a a mapan ti siasinoman a tao iti sangoananna para iti pannakaukom.
For, unto no man, doth he appoint a repetition, —in going unto GOD in judgment;
24 Pirsapirsayenna dagiti mabigbigbig a tattao gapu kadagiti aramidda a saanen a kasapulan pay iti nainget a panangsukimat; isublina dagiti dadduma kadagiti bukodda a lugar.
He shattereth mighty ones unsearchably, and setteth up others in their stead:
25 Iti daytoy a wagas, ammonan dagiti naaramidda; ibellengna dagitoy a tattao iti rabii, nadadaeldan.
Therefore, he observeth their works, —and overturneth [them] in a night, and they are crushed;
26 Iti imatang dagiti dadduma a tattao, papatayenna ida gapu kadagiti nadangkes nga aramidda a kasla kadagiti kriminal
In the place of lawless men, hath he chastised them, in presence of beholders.
27 gapu ta simminada manipud kenkuana ken saanda a binigbig ti uray maysa kadagiti wagasna.
Forasmuch, as they turned from following him, and, none of his ways, did they teach;
28 Iti daytoy a wagas, naipangngegda kenkuana dagiti asug dagiti napanglaw a tattao, nangngegna dagiti asug dagiti marigrigatan a tattao.
Causing to reach him the outcry of the poor, Yea, the outcry of the oppressed, he heareth.
29 No agul-ulimek isuna, siasino ti makababalaw kenkuana? No ilingedna ti rupana, siasino ti makadlaw kenkuana? Iturturayanna ti entero a nasion ken dagiti tattao,
When, he, giveth quiet, who then shall condemn? And, when he hideth [his] face, who then shall sing of him? whether unto a nation or unto mankind altogether,
30 tapno saan a makapagturay ti tao nga awan diosna, tapno awan iti makadangran kadagiti tattao.
That impious men may not reign, nor be ensnarers of the people.
31 Kaspangarigan adda ti agibaga iti Dios, 'Pudno a nagbasolak, ngem saanakon a pulos nga agaramid iti basol;
For, unto GOD, hath one [ever] said—I have borne punishment, I will not be perverse;
32 isurom kaniak dagiti saanko a makitkita; nagbasolak, ngem saankonton a pulos nga aramiden daytoy.'
What I see not, do, thou, shew me, If, perverseness, I have wrought, I will do it no more?
33 Ti panagkunam kadi ket dusaen ti Dios ti basol dayta a tao, agsipud ta saanmo a kayat ti ar-aramiden ti Dios? Masapul a sika ti agpili, saan a siak. Ibagam ngarud ti ammom.
According to thy mind, must he requite it, that thou hast refused? For, thou, must choose, and not, I, What then thou knowest, speak!
34 Ibaganto kaniak dagiti tattao a mannakaawat—pudno, ibaganto ti tunggal masirib a makangkangngeg kaniak,
The men of mind, will say to me, yea any wise man hearkening unto me: —
35 'Agsasao ni Job iti awan kaes-eskanna; dagiti sasaona ket minamaag.
Job, without knowledge, doth speak, and, his words, are not with discretion.
36 No laeng koma ta maisaklang ni Job iti pangukoman ket maibaga amin dagiti kababassitan a banag iti kasasaadna gapu iti panagsasaona a kasla nadangkes a tattao.
Would that Job might be tested to the uttermost, for replying with the men of iniquity:
37 Ta naynayunanna ti basolna iti panagsukir; ipalpalakpakna dagiti imana a manglalais iti nagtetengngaantayo; agipenpenpen isuna kadagiti sasao a maibusor iti Dios.”
For he addeth—unto his sin—rebellion, In our midst, he clappeth his hands, and multiplieth his sayings against GOD.
