Job 7

1 Adda kadi ti saan a narigat a trabaho para iti tunggal tao iti daga? Saan kadi a dagiti al-aldawna ket kas ti al-aldaw ti natangdanan a tao?

[Is there] not an appointed time to man upon earth? [are not] his days also like the days of an hireling?

2 Kas ti tagabu a sigagagar nga agtarigagay iti anniniwan ti rabii, kas iti natangdanan a tao a mangur-uray iti tangdanna-

As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for [the reward of] his work:

3 isu a naaramidak a mangibtur kadagiti bulbulan ti kinakakaasi; naikkanak kadagiti rabii a napnoan iti riribuk.

So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.

4 No agiddaak, kunak iti bagik, 'Kaanoak a bumangon ken kaano nga agleppas ti rabii?’ Alimbasagennak agingga iti pumarbangon.

When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.

5 Nakawesan ti lasagko kadagiti igges ken napuskol a kabkab; timmangken dagiti sugat iti kudilko, ken kalpasanna bumtak, ket agnana.

My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.

6 Naparpartak dagiti al-aldawko ngem ti barkilia iti uma-abel; aglabas dagitoy nga awanan iti namnama.

My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.

7 Panunotem O Dios a ti biagko ket anges laeng; awanen ti nasayaat a makita ti matak.

O remember that my life [is] wind: mine eye shall no more see good.

8 Ti mata ti Dios, a kumitkita kaniak, saannakton a makita; kitaennakto dagiti mata ti Dios, ngem awanakto.

The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no [more: ] thine eyes [are] upon me, and I [am] not.

9 Kas iti ulep a marunaw ken agpukaw, kasta met a ti bumaba iti sheol ket saanton a maka-subli pay. (Sheol h7585)

[As] the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no [more]. (Sheol h7585)

10 Saanton a makasubli isuna iti balayna; uray ti lugarna ket saandanton nga am-ammo isuna.

He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.

11 Ngarud, saanko a lapdan ti ngiwatko; agsaoak iti ladingit ti espirituk; agreklamoak iti kinasaem ti kararuak.

Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

12 Siak kadi ti baybay wenno ti pagbutbutngan iti baybay a nangisaadka iti mangbantay kaniak?

[Am] I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?

13 Inton kunak, 'Liwliwaennak ti pagiddaak, ken pabang-aran ti papagko ti un-unoyko,'

When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;

14 ket butbutngennak babaen iti tagtagainep ken butbutngennak babaen kadagiti sirmata,

Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:

15 tapno piliek iti mabekkel ken matay ngem ti mangaywan kadagiti tultulangko.

So that my soul chooseth strangling, [and] death rather than my life.

16 Kagurak ti biagko; saanko a tarigagayan ti kanayon nga agbiag; bay-annak nga agmaymaysa ta awan serserbi dagiti al-aldawko.

I loathe [it; ] I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days [are] vanity.

17 Ania aya ti tao a nasken nga ipangagmo isuna, a panpanunutem isuna,

What [is] man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?

18 a sipsiputam isuna iti tunggal agsapa, ken susuotem iti tunggal kanito?

And [that] thou shouldest visit him every morning, [and] try him every moment?

19 Kasano pay kabayag sakbay nga iyadayom ti panagkitam kaniak, sakbay a palubosannak nga agmaymaysa iti apag biit a mangtilmon iti bukodko a katay?

How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?

20 Uray no nagbasolak, ania koma ti maaramidanna kenka dayta, sika a mangbuybuya kadagiti tattao? Apay a siak ti punteriam, tapno agbalinak a dadagsen kenka?

I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?

21 Apay a saanmo a pakawanen ti naglabsingak ken ikkaten ti kinadakesko? Ta ita agiddaakon iti tapok; birukennakto iti kasta unay, ngem awanakton.”

And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I [shall] not [be].
