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?
"Isn't a man forced to labor on earth? Aren't his days like the days of a hired hand?
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 who earnestly desires the shadow, as a hireling who looks for his wages,
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 misery, 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?' I toss and turn until 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 closes up, and breaks out afresh.
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.
Oh remember that my life is a breath. My 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 who sees me shall see me no more. Your eyes shall be on me, but I shall not be.
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 vanishes away, so he who goes down to Sheol 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 keep silent. 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 sea monster, that you put a guard 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 you scare me with dreams, and terrify me through visions:
15 tapno piliek iti mabekkel ken matay ngem ti mangaywan kadagiti tultulangko.
so that 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 loathe my life. I do not want to live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
17 Ania aya ti tao a nasken nga ipangagmo isuna, a panpanunutem isuna,
What is man, that you should magnify him, that you should set your mind on him,
18 a sipsiputam isuna iti tunggal agsapa, ken susuotem iti tunggal kanito?
that you should visit him every morning, and test 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 will you not look away from me, nor leave me alone until 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?
If I have sinned, what do I do to you, you watcher of men? Why have you set me as a mark for you, 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.”
Why do you not pardon my disobedience, and take away my iniquity? For now shall I lie down in the dust. You will seek me diligently, but I shall not be."
