< Job 36 >
1 Nagtultuloy ni Elihu ket kinunana,
Elihu also continued, and said,
2 “Palubosannak pay nga agsao iti ababa, ket ipakitak kenka ti maysa a banag gapu ta adda pay bassit nga ibagak a mangikanawa iti Dios.
“Bear with me a little, and I will show you; for I still have something to say on God’s behalf.
3 Ibingayko ti pannakaammok manipud iti adayo a lugar; bigbigek a ti kinalinteg ket naggapu iti Namarsua kaniak.
I will get my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
4 Ta pudno, saan a pumalso dagiti sasaok; kaduam ti maysa a nataengan iti pannakaammo.
For truly my words are not false. One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.
5 Kitaem, mannakabalin ti Dios, ken awan ti um-umsienna; maawatanna amin a banbanag.
“Behold, God is mighty, and does not despise anyone. He is mighty in strength of understanding.
6 Saanna nga an-annadan ti biag dagiti nadangkes a tattao ngem ketdi ar-aramidenna iti umno para kadagiti agsagsagaba.
He does not preserve the life of the wicked, but gives justice to the afflicted.
7 Saanna nga ik-ikaten ti panagkitana manipud kadagiti nalinteg a tattao ngem ketdi isaadna ida kadagiti trono a kasla kadagiti ari iti agnanayon, ket maitag-ayda.
He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne, he sets them forever, and they are exalted.
8 No, kas pangarigan, mabaludda, no mapalab-uganda iti tali ti panagsagaba,
If they are bound in fetters, and are taken in the cords of afflictions,
9 ket ipakpakitana kadakuada ti inaramidda—dagiti naglabsinganda ken ti panagtignayda a sitatangsit.
then he shows them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
10 Luklukatanna pay dagiti lapayagda kadagiti bilbilinna, ken bilbilininenna ida a tumallikod manipud iti panagaramid iti basol.
He also opens their ears to instruction, and commands that they return from iniquity.
11 No dumngegda kenkuana ken dayawenda isuna, gugurendanto dagiti aldawda iti kinarang-ay, dagiti tawtawenda iti pannakapnek.
If they listen and serve him, they will spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
12 Nupay kasta, no saanda a dumngeg, mapapatayda babaen iti kampilan; mataydanto gapu ta awan ti pannakaammoda.
But if they do not listen, they will perish by the sword; they will die without knowledge.
13 Dagiti awan iti dios ti pusoda ket mapenpen dagiti pungtotda; saanda a dumawat iti tulong uray no itali ida ti Dios.
“But those who are godless in heart lay up anger. They do not cry for help when he binds them.
14 Matayda iti kinaagtutuboda; agpatingga dagiti bibiagda kadagiti balangkantis.
They die in youth. Their life perishes among the unclean.
15 Is-ispalen ti Dios dagiti tattao nga agrigrigat babaen iti pannakaparparigatda; luklukatanna dagiti lapayagda babaen iti pannakaidadanesda.
He delivers the afflicted by their affliction, and opens their ear in oppression.
16 Pudno, kayatnaka nga ilung-aw iti rigat nga agturong iti nalawa a lugar nga awan iti rigat ken iti lugar a mapno ti lamisaanmo iti taraon na napnoan iti taba.
Yes, he would have allured you out of distress, into a wide place, where there is no restriction. That which is set on your table would be full of fatness.
17 Ngem napnoanka iti pammabasol kadagiti nadangkes a tattao; tinengngelnaka ti pannakaukom ken hustisia.
“But you are full of the judgment of the wicked. Judgment and justice take hold of you.
18 Saanmo nga ipalubos nga allilawennaka ti kinabaknang; saanmo nga ipalubos a ti dakkel a gatad ti pasoksok ti mangibaw-ing kenka manipud iti hustisia.
Do not let riches entice you to wrath, neither let the great size of a bribe turn you aside.
19 Adda kadi ti pagsayaatan a maitedna kenka ti kinabaknangmo, tapno saanka nga agrigat, wenno matulongannaka kadi ti amin a pigsam?
Would your wealth sustain you in distress, or all the might of your strength?
20 Saanmo a tarigagayan ti rabii nga agaramid iti basol kadagiti dadduma, no napapanaw dagiti tattao iti lugarda.
Do not desire the night, when people are cut off in their place.
21 Agannadka a saanka nga agsubli iti pannagbasol gapu ta masusuotka babaen iti panagsagaba tapno maiyadayoka manipud iti panagbasol.
Take heed, do not regard iniquity; for you have chosen this rather than affliction.
22 Kitaem, naitag-ay ti Dios iti pannakabalinna; siasino ti manursuro a kas kenkuana?
Behold, God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?
23 Siasino iti nangisuro kenkuana maipanggep iti wagasna? Siasino ti makaibaga kenkuana, 'Saan a nalinteg ti inaramidmo?'
Who has prescribed his way for him? Or who can say, ‘You have committed unrighteousness’?
24 Laglagipem a dayawen dagiti aramidna, nga inkanta dagiti tattao.
“Remember that you magnify his work, about which men have sung.
25 Nakita amin a tattao dagidiay nga aramid, ngem makitada laeng dagidiay nga aramid manipud iti adayo.
All men have looked on it. Man sees it afar off.
26 Kitaem, naindaklan ti Dios, ngem saantayo unay a maawatan isuna; saan a mabilang ti tawtawenna.
Behold, God is great, and we do not know him. The number of his years is unsearchable.
27 Ta ipangpangatona dagiti tedted ti danum nga agbalin a tudo manipud iti alingasawna,
For he draws up the drops of water, which distill in rain from his vapor,
28 nga aglaplapusanan nga ibukbukbok ken itintinnag dagiti ulep iti sangkataoan.
which the skies pour down and which drop on man abundantly.
29 Pudno, maawatan kadi ti siasinoman ti kinalawa dagiti ul-ulep ken dagiti gurruod manipud kadagiti toldana?
Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds and the thunderings of his pavilion?
30 Kitaem, ipalpalikmotna ti kimatna iti bagina; kalkalubanna ti taaw iti kinasipnget.
Behold, he spreads his light around him. He covers the bottom of the sea.
31 Iti daytoy a wagas pakpakanenna dagiti tattao ken mangmangted iti aglaplapusanan a taraon.
For by these he judges the people. He gives food in abundance.
32 Kalkalubanna kadagiti imana dagiti kimat aginggana nga ibaonna dagitoy a tiroenda dagiti puntada.
He covers his hands with the lightning, and commands it to strike the mark.
33 Dagiti daranudorda ti mangibagbaga kadagiti tattao nga adda iti paumay a bagyo; ammo met ti ayup ti panagsangpetna.
Its noise tells about him, and the livestock also, concerning the storm that comes up.
