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 warfare to man on earth? And his days as the days of a hired worker?

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 desires the shadow, And as a hired worker expects his wage,

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

So I have been caused to inherit months of vanity, And they numbered nights of misery to me.

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

If I lay down, then I have said, When do I rise, And evening has been measured? And I have been full of tossings until dawn.

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

My flesh has been clothed [with] worms, And a clod of dust, My skin has been shriveled and is loathsome,

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

My days swifter than a loom, And they are consumed without hope.

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

Remember that my life [is] a breath, My eye does not turn back to see good.

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

The eye of my beholder does not behold me. Your eyes [are] on 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)

A cloud has been consumed, and it goes, So he who is going down to Sheol does not come up. (Sheol h7585)

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

He does not turn to his house again, Nor does his place discern him again.

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

Also I do not withhold my mouth—I speak in the distress of my spirit, I talk 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 [monster], or a dragon, That You set a watch over me?

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

When I said, My bed comforts me, In my talking He takes away my couch.

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

And You have frightened me with dreams, And You terrify me from visions,

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

And my soul chooses strangling, Death rather than my bones.

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

I have wasted away—I do not live for all time. Cease from me, for my days [are] vanity.

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

What [is] man that You magnify him? And that You set Your heart to him?

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

And inspect him in the mornings, [And] in the evenings try him?

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 do You not look from me? You do not desist until I swallow 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 do I do to You, O watcher of man? Why have You set me for a mark to You, And I am for a burden to myself—and what?

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

You do not take away my transgression, And [do not] cause my iniquity to pass away, Because now, I lie down in dust, And You have sought me—and I am not!”
