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 to 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 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 that hath seen me shall see me no more: thy 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 restrain 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 always: 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 thy 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 look away from me, nor let me alone till 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 shall I do to 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 my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
