Yoube 14
1 Nini huluane da gasa hamedei amola hahani agoane lalelegei. Ninia esalusu da dunumuni amola amo ganodini bidi hamosu da defele hamosa.
As for man, the son of woman, his days are short and full of trouble.
2 Nini da sogea heda: be defele hedolo heda: le, bu hedolo duginidaha, amola nini da baba gala: be defele fonobahadi ba: lu, bu hedolo geasa.
He comes out like a flower, and is cut down: he goes in flight like a shade, and is never seen again.
3 Gode! Na da hamedeiba: le, Dia na ba: ma: bela: ? Di da nama adoba: ma: ne fofada: ma: bela: ?
Is it on such a one as this that your eyes are fixed, with the purpose of judging him?
4 Ninia osobo bagade dunu da ledo bagade gala. Fofoloi liligi da ninima gadili masunu hamedei.
If only a clean thing might come out of an unclean! But it is not possible.
5 Gode! Di da ninia esalumu ode amola oubi amo ninia hame lalelegei esoga ilegesa. Di da amo ilegeiba: le, bu afadenemu da hamedeidafa.
If his days are ordered, and you have knowledge of the number of his months, having given him a fixed limit past which he may not go;
6 Ninima sosodobe yolesima! Nini yolesima! Ninia da se nabawane esala. Be ninia da fonobahadi hahawane esaloma: ne, Di nini yolesima!
Let your eyes be turned away from him, and take your hand from him, so that he may have pleasure at the end of his day, like a servant working for payment.
7 Ifa daou da dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: su gala. E da abi dagoi be e da bu gahegini lula dada: sa.
For there is hope of a tree; if it is cut down, it will come to life again, and its branches will not come to an end.
8 Osobo hagudu, ifa ea daou amola difi da nuisa.
Though its root may be old in the earth, and its cut-off end may be dead in the dust;
9 Be hano da dialebeba: le bu gahegini ulu heda: sa.
Still, at the smell of water, it will make buds, and put out branches like a young plant.
10 Be dunu da bogosea, e da fisi dagoi ba: sa. E da bogosea, habidili ba: ma: bela: ?
But man comes to his death and is gone: he gives up his spirit, and where is he?
11 Amo da hano dalu yolebe, amola hano wayabo habe, amo defele,
The waters go from a pool, and a river becomes waste and dry;
12 dunu da bogosea, hamedafa wa: legadosa. Mu da mae mugululi dialeawane, ilia da hamedafa wa: legadomu amola ilia golai da hame nedigimu.
So man goes down to his last resting-place and comes not again: till the heavens come to an end, they will not be awake or come out of their sleep.
13 Di da na bogoi dunu ilia sogebi amoga wamolegemu, na da hanai gala. Na da wamolegei dialea, Dia ougi da gumisia fawane, Dia na bu dawa: ma: ne eso ilegema. (Sheol h7585)
If only you would keep me safe in the underworld, putting me in a secret place till your wrath is past, giving me a fixed time when I might come to your memory again! (Sheol h7585)
14 Dunu afae da bogosea, e da bu uhini misa: bela: ? Hame mabu! Be na da amo bidi hamosu dagoma: ne, amola hahawane eso bu misa: ne, na da ouesalumu.
If death takes a man, will he come to life again? All the days of my trouble I would be waiting, till the time came for me to be free.
15 Amasea, Di da nama wele sia: sea, na da dabe adole imunu. Amola Di da na (Dia hamoi liligi) hahawane ba: mu.
At the sound of your voice I would give an answer, and you would have a desire for the work of your hands.
16 Amasea, Di da na osa: le gaga ahoabe huluane ba: mu. Be Di da na wadela: le hamobe hame abodelalumu.
For now my steps are numbered by you, and my sin is not overlooked.
17 Di da na wadela: i hou huluanedafa gogolema: ne olofomu.
My wrongdoing is corded up in a bag, and my sin is shut up safe.
18 Eso da misunu amoga goumi da mugululi sa: imu, amola gasa bagade gafulu da agele sa: imu.
But truly a mountain falling comes to dust, and a rock is moved from its place;
19 Hano da magufu dogosa, amola gibu bagade da osobo dogone fasisa. Amo defele, Di da ninia dafawane esaloma: beyale dawa: su gugunufinisisa.
The stones are crushed small by the force of the waters; the dust of the earth is washed away by their overflowing: and so you put an end to the hope of man.
20 Di da Dia gasaga osobo bagade dunu banenesili, e bu hamedafa misa: ne, sefasisa. E da bogobeba: le, odagi momogosa.
You overcome him for ever, and he is gone; his face is changed in death, and you send him away.
21 Eno dunu da ea manoma nodosa. Be e da amo hou hame dawa: sa. Amola ea mano da gogosiasu ba: sea, Dia da ema hame adosa.
His sons come to honour, and he has no knowledge of it; they are made low, but he is not conscious of it.
22 E da ea da: i hodo se fawane naba. Amola ea asigi dawa: su da: i dioi fawane naba.
Only his flesh still has pain, and his soul is sad.
