Job 8
1 Kalpasanna, simmungbat ni Bildad a Suhita ket kinunana,
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and saide,
2 “Kasano pay kabayag nga ibagam dagitoy a banbanag? Kasano pay kabayag a dagiti sasao ti ngiwatmo ket agbalin a napigsa nga angin?
Howe long wilt thou talke of these things? and howe long shall the wordes of thy mouth be as a mightie winde?
3 Ballikugen kadi ti Dios ti hustisia? Ballikugen kadi ti Mannakabalin amin ti kinalinteg?
Doeth God peruert iudgement? or doeth the Almightie subuert iustice?
4 Nagbasol dagiti annakmo kenkuana, ammomi daytoy, ta impaimana ida kadagiti basbasolda.
If thy sonnes haue sinned against him, and he hath sent them into the place of their iniquitie,
5 Ngem kas pangarigan a sipapasnekka a nangbirok iti Dios ken indatagmo dagiti kiddawmo iti Mannakabalin amin.
Yet if thou wilt early seeke vnto God, and pray to the Almightie,
6 Kas pangarigan nasin-aw ken nalintegka; ket awan duadua nga agtignay isuna para kenka ken gun-gonaannaka iti pagtaengan a pudno a kukuam.
If thou be pure and vpright, then surely hee will awake vp vnto thee, and he wil make the habitation of thy righteousnesse prosperous.
7 Uray no bassit ti nagrugiam, nasaysayaatto latta ti maudi a kasasaadmo.
And though thy beginning be small, yet thy latter ende shall greatly encrease.
8 Ta agpakpakaasiak kenka, nga agpalutpotka, maipanggep iti napalabas a panawen; usarem ti bagim a mangadal kadagiti naduktalan dagiti kapuonantayo.
Inquire therefore, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thy selfe to search of their fathers.
9 (Naiyanaktayo laeng idi kalman ken awan iti ammotayo gapu ta anniniwan dagiti aldawtayo iti daga).
(For we are but of yesterday, and are ignorant: for our dayes vpon earth are but a shadowe)
10 Saandaka kadi nga isuro wenno ibaga kenka? Saanda kadi nga agsao manipud kadagiti pusoda?
Shall not they teach thee and tell thee, and vtter the wordes of their heart?
11 Dumakkel kadi ti badobadok no awan ti lubnak? Dumakkel kadi ti runo no awan ti danum?
Can a rush grow without myre? or can ye grasse growe without water?
12 Kabayatan a nalangtoda pay ken saanda pay a napukan, malaylayda sakbay kadagiti sabali a mula.
Though it were in greene and not cutte downe, yet shall it wither before any other herbe.
13 Kasta met laeng dagiti dalan dagiti amin a manglipat iti Dios, mapukawto ti namnama dagiti tattao nga awan ti diosna-
So are the paths of al that forget God, and the hypocrites hope shall perish.
14 dagiti addaan iti kinatalged a madadael, ken dagidiay kas karasi ti saput ti lawalawa ti talekna.
His confidence also shalbe cut off, and his trust shalbe as the house of a spyder.
15 Agsadag ti kasta a tao iti balayna, ngem saan a tumakder daytoy; kumpet isuna iti daytoy, ngem saan daytoy nga agpaut.
He shall leane vpon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall holde him fast by it, yet shall it not endure.
16 Berde isuna iti sirok ti init, ket agtubo dagiti saringitna iti entero a minuyonganna.
The tree is greene before the sunne, and the branches spread ouer the garden thereof.
17 Balkuten dagiti ramutna dagiti gabsuon ti bato; agbirok dagitoy iti nasayaat a lugar kadagiti kabatbatoan.
The rootes thereof are wrapped about the fountaine, and are folden about ye house of stones.
18 Ngem no madadael daytoy a tao iti lugarna, ket ilibakto dayta a lugar isuna ket kunana, 'Saanka a pulos a nakita.'
If any plucke it from his place, and it denie, saying, I haue not seene thee,
19 Kitaem, daytoy ti “rag-o” ti kababalin iti kasta a tao; agtubo dagiti sabali a mula iti isu met laeng a daga iti lugarna.
Beholde, it will reioyce by this meanes, that it may growe in another molde.
20 Kitaem, saanto a papanawen ti Dios ti awan basolna a tao; wenno saanna nga alaen ti ima dagiti managdakdakes.
Behold, God will not cast away an vpright man, neither will he take the wicked by the hand,
21 Ngem punnoennanto ti ngiwatmo iti katkatawa, dagiti bibigmo iti pukpukkaw.
Till he haue filled thy mouth with laughter, and thy lippes with ioy.
22 Makawesanto iti pannakaibabain dagiti manggurgura kenka; awanton ti tolda dagiti nadangkes.”
They that hate thee, shall be clothed with shame, and the dwelling of the wicked shall not remaine.
