Job 40
1 Intuloy ni Yahweh ti nakisarita kenni Job; kinunana;
And the LORD said to Job:
2 “Rumbeng kadi a ti siasinoman nga agtarigagay a mangbabalaw ket padasenna nga aturen ti Mannakabalin-amin? Ti makisinsinnupiat iti Dios, bay-am isuna a sumungbat.”
“Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who argues with God give an answer.”
3 Ket simmungbat ni Job kenni Yahweh ket kinunana,
Then Job answered the LORD:
4 “Kitaem, awan ti pategko; kasanoka a masungbatan? Iyappotko ti imak iti ngiwatko.
“Behold, I am insignificant. How can I reply to You? I place my hand over my mouth.
5 Nagsaoak iti naminsan, ket saanakon a sumungbat; kinapudnona, namindua, ngem saankon nga ituloy pay.”
I have spoken once, but I have no answer— twice, but I have nothing to add.”
6 Kalpasanna, simmungbat ni Yahweh kenni Job manipud iti nadawel a bagio, kinunana,
Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
7 “Ita barikesam dagiti lumom a kas maysa a lalaki, ta agsaludsodak kenka, ket masapul a sungbatannak.
“Now brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall inform Me.
8 Pudno kadi nga ibagam a saanak a nalinteg? Pabasolennak kadi tapno maibagam a hustoka?
Would you really annul My justice? Would you condemn Me to justify yourself?
9 Addaanka kadi iti takiag a kas iti Dios? Mapaggurruodmo kadi babaen iti timek a kas kekuana?
Do you have an arm like God’s? Can you thunder with a voice like His?
10 Ita, agkaweska iti kinadayag ken kinatakneng; arkosam ta bagim iti dayaw ken kinatan-ok.
Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor, and clothe yourself with honor and glory.
11 Iwarasmo ti nalabes a pungtotmo; kitaem ti tunggal maysa a napalangguad ket ipababam isuna.
Unleash the fury of your wrath; look on every proud man and bring him low.
12 Kitaem ti tunggal maysa a napalangguad ket ipababam isuna; ipayatmo dagiti nadangkes a tattao iti pagtaktakderanda.
Look on every proud man and humble him; trample the wicked where they stand.
13 Ikalim ida a sangsangkamaysa iti daga; ibaludmo dagiti rupada iti nalimed a disso.
Bury them together in the dust; imprison them in the grave.
14 Ket, bigbigekto met a kabaelannaka nga isalakan ti bukodmo a makannawan nga ima.
Then I will confess to you that your own right hand can save you.
15 Kitaem ita ti behemot, a pinarsuak a kas ti panangparsuak kenka; mangmangan daytoy iti ruot a kas iti baka.
Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you. He feeds on grass like an ox.
16 Ita kitaem, ti pigsana ket adda kadagiti lumona; ti bilegna ket adda iti piskel ti tianna.
See the strength of his loins and the power in the muscles of his belly.
17 Ikutkutina ti ipusna a kas iti maysa a sedro, nagsisilpo dagiti piskel ti luppona.
His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are tightly knit.
18 Dagiti tulangna ket kasla kadagiti tubo a bronse; dagiti gurongna ket kasla kadagiti bareta a landok.
His bones are tubes of bronze; his limbs are rods of iron.
19 Isuna ti pangulo dagiti pinarsua ti Dios. Ti Dios laeng, a nagparsua kenkuana, ti makaparmek kenkuana.
He is the foremost of God’s works; only his Maker can draw the sword against him.
20 Ta ipapaayan isuna dagiti turod iti taraon; agay-ayam iti asideg dagiti narungsot nga ayup.
The hills yield him their produce, while all the beasts of the field play nearby.
21 Agid-idda isuna iti sirok dagiti mula a lotus iti salinong dagiti runo, kadagiti ban-aw.
He lies under the lotus plants, hidden among the reeds of the marsh.
22 Linlinungan isuna dagiti mula a lotus; adda iti aglawlawna dagiti kayo a karawawe kadagiti waig.
The lotus plants conceal him in their shade; the willows of the brook surround him.
23 Kitaem, no layusen dagiti ti karayan ti pantarna, saan isuna nga agbuteng; natalek isuna, uray no dumakkel ti danum ti karayan Jordan aggingga iti sungona.
Though the river rages, Behemoth is unafraid; he remains secure, though the Jordan surges to his mouth.
24 Adda kadi makatiliw kenkuana babaen iti kawit, wenno mangtaldeng iti agongna babaen iti silo?
Can anyone capture him as he looks on, or pierce his nose with a snare?
