Job 6
1 Ket simmungbat ni Job ket kinunana,
Then Job answered and said,
2 “O, no maitimbang laeng ti ladingitko; no maiparabaw laeng iti timbangan dagiti didigrak!
Oh that my vexation were but weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!
3 Ta ita, mabalin a nadagdagsen daytoy ngem kadagiti darat kadagiti baybay. Dayta ti makagapo a nagubsang dagiti sasaok.
For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas: therefore have my words been rash.
4 Ta adda kaniak dagiti pana ti Mannakabalin amin, umin-inom ti espirituk iti sabidong; inyurnos dagiti didigra ti Dios dagiti bagbagida nga agsasaruno a maibusor kaniak.
For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof my spirit drinketh up: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
5 Aguga kadi ti atap nga asno no adda ruotna? Wenno agemmak kadi iti bisinna ti baka no adda taraonna?
Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?
6 Mabalin kadi a kanen ti natamnay nga awan asinna? Wenno adda kadi ti aniaman a ramanna ti puraw iti itlog?
Can that which hath no savour be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
7 Agkedkedak a mangsagid kadagitoy; kasla makarimon a taraon dagitoy kaniak.
My soul refuseth to touch [them]; they are as loathsome meat to me.
8 O, a maadda koma kaniak ti kiddawko; o, patgan koma ti Dios ti banag a tartarigagayak:
Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant [me] the thing that I long for.
9 a makaay-ayo koma iti Dios a rumekennak a mammaminsan, a palukayanna koma dagiti imana ket putdennakon manipud iti daytoy a biag!
Even that it would please God to crush me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
10 Daytoy latta koman ti mangliwliwa kaniak- uray no agrag-oak iti ut-ot a saan a makiskissayan: a saanko nga inlibak dagiti sasao ti Nasantoan.
Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would exult in pain that spareth not: for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
11 Ania ti pigsak, a nasken a padasek iti aguray? Ania ti paggibusak, a nasken a paatiddugek ti biagko?
What is my strength, that I should wait? and what is mine end, at I should be patient?
12 Ti kadi pigsak ket pigsa dagiti bato? Wenno naaramid kadi iti bronse ti lasagko?
Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
13 Pudno kadi a saanko a matulungan ti bagik, ken naikkaten kaniak ti kinasirib?
Is it not that I have no help in me, and that effectual working is driven quite from me?
14 Iti tao a dandanin matalimudaw, rumbeng nga ipakita dagiti gayyemna ti kinapudno; uray kenkuana a nanglaksid iti panagbuteng iti Mannakabalin amin.
To him that is ready to faint kindness [should be shewed] from his friend; even to him that forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
15 Ngem nagbalin a napudno kaniak dagiti kakabsatko a kas iti nagayusan ti waig iti disierto, kasla dalan ti danum a mamagaan,
My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, as the channel of brooks that pass away;
16 a limmibeg gapu iti panangkalob ti yelo kadagitoy, ken gapu kadagiti niebe nga aglemlemmeng kadagitoy.
Which are black by reason of the ice, [and] wherein the snow hideth itself:
17 Inton marunawda, mapukawda; inton pumudot, marunawda iti ayanda.
What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
18 Sumiasi dagiti bunggoy dagiti agdaldaliasat iti dalanda nga agbirok iti danum; agalla-allada iti langalang a daga ket kalpasanna mapukawda.
The caravans [that travel] by the way of them turn aside; they go up into the waste, and perish.
19 Nagbirok sadiay dagiti bunggoy dagiti agdaldaliasat a naggapu idiay Tema, kabayatan a nangnamnama kadakuada dagiti bunggoy ti Saba.
The caravans of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
20 Naupayda gapu ta mamatida a makabirokda iti danum; Napanda sadiay, ngem naallilawda.
They were ashamed because they had hoped; they came thither, and were confounded.
21 Ta ita dakayo a gagayyemko ket awan serserbiyo kaniak; nakitayo ti nakaam-amak a kasasaadko ket nagbutengkayo.
For now ye are nothing; ye see a terror, and are afraid.
22 Imbagak kadi kadakayo, 'Ikkandak iti maysa a banag? Wenno, 'Mangidiayakayo iti sagut kaniak manipud kadagiti kinabaknangyo?
Did I say, Give unto me? or, offer a present for me of your substance?
23 Wenno, 'Isalakandak manipud iti ima dagiti kabusorko? Wenno, 'Sakaendak manipud kadagiti ima dagiti mangidaddadanes kaniak?’
Or, Deliver me from the adversary’s hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors?
24 Isurodak, ket agulimekak, ipakaawatyo kaniak dagiti nagbiddutak.
Teach me, and I will hold my peace: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
25 Anian a nagsakit dagiti napudno a sasao! Ngem dagiti panagrasrasonyo, kasano a mababalawdak?
How forcible are words of uprightness! but what doth your arguing reprove?
26 Panggepyo kadi a saan nga ikankano dagiti sasaok, tratratoenyo kadi dagiti sasao ti maup-upay a tao a kasla angin?
Do ye imagine to reprove words? seeing that the speeches of one that is desperate are as wind.
27 Pudno, paggiginnasatanyo ti ulila nga ubing, ken makitinnawarkayo kadagiti gagayyemyo a kasla tagilako.
Yea, ye would cast [lots] upon the fatherless, and make merchandise of your friend.
28 Ita ngarud, pangngaasiyo ta kitaendak, ta awan duadau a saanak nga agulbod iti rupayo.
Now therefore be pleased to look upon me; for surely I shall not lie to your face.
29 Agtalnakayo, agpakpakaasiak kadakayo; awan koma iti kinakillo kadakayo; Pudno, agtalnakayo, ta nalintegak.
Return, I pray you, let there be no injustice; yea, return again, my cause is righteous.
30 Adda kadi kinadakes iti dilak? Saan kadi a madlaw ti ngiwatko dagiti mapagduadua-an a banbanag?
Is there injustice on my tongue? cannot my taste discern mischievous things?
