Yoube 7
1 Osobo bagade dunu ea esalusu da sesesu dadi gagui dunu ea hawa: hamosu defele amola udigili gasa bagade hawa: hamosu agoane.
“Isn't life for human beings like serving a sentence of hard labor? Don't their days pass like those of a hired laborer?
2 Ea esalusu da udigili hawa: hamosu dunu amo da anegagima: ne, ifa ougiha esalumusa: hanai gala. Ea esalusu da hamosu dunu amo da ea bidi lama: ne, hanaiwane ouesalebe ba: sa.
Like some slave longing for a bit of shade, like a hired hand anxiously waiting for pay day,
3 Oubi uduli, eno uduli, na da udigili se nabawane esala. Na bu esaloma: ne da bai hame gala. Gasili asili bu eno gasili, na da da: i dioi fawane ba: sa.
I've been given months of emptiness and nights of misery.
4 Na da golai be sidagane esala. Gasi huluane na da sidagane gilala, soge hedolo hadigima: ne dawa: lala.
When I go to bed I ask, ‘When shall I get up?’ But the night goes on and on, and I toss and turn until dawn.
5 Na da: i da fioso amoga nabai. Na da: i da aiya heheya: amoga dedeboi dagoi. Na aiya amoga guhi da daha.
My body is covered with maggots and caked in dirt; my skin is cracked, with oozing sores.
6 Na da hobea misunu dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: lusu hamedene, eso da hedolowane hehenasa.
My days pass quicker than a weaver's shuttle and they come to an end without hope.
7 Gode! Mae gogolema! Na esalusu da mifo lai afadafa fawane agoai gala. Na hahawane hou da fisi dagoi.
Remember that my life is just a breath; I will not see happiness again.
8 Dia da wahadafa na ba: sa. Be hobea bu hamedafa ba: mu. Dia na hogosea, na da asi dagoi ba: mu.
Those watching me won't see me anymore; your eyes will be looking for me, but I will be gone.
When a cloud disappears, it's gone, just as anyone who goes down to Sheol does not come back up. (Sheol h7585)
10 Mu mobi da ba: lalu, hedolowane gilasi dagoi ba: sa. Amo defele, ninia osobo bagade dunu da bogosea, hame buhagisa. Nini dawa: su dunu, ilia da nini hedolo gogolesa. (Sheol h7585)
They will never return home, and the people they knew will forget them.
11 Hame mabu! Na da hamedafa ouiya: mu! Na da ougi amola gia: i bagade gala. Na da sia: mu!
So, no, I won't hold my tongue—I will speak in the agony of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12 Gode! Dia da abuliba: le na sosodo aligisala: ? Na da wayabo bagade wadela: i ohe bagade, Dia da dawa: sala: ?
Am I the sea or a sea monster that you have to guard me?
13 Na da helefimusa: diala be golamu hamedei. Na da na se nabasu fisima: ne, logo hogosa.
If I tell myself, ‘I'll feel better if I lie down in my bed,’ or ‘it will help me to lie down on my couch,’
14 Be Dia da na beda: ma: ne simasia olelesa. Dia da na esala ba: la: lusu amola wadela: i simasia ba: su nama iasisa.
then you scare me so much with dreams and terrify me with visions
15 Amaiba: le, na da na da: i ganodini bu esalumu higasa. Dunu eno da na galogoa gaguli, na fane legemu da defea gala.
that I would rather be strangled—I would rather die than become just a bag of bones.
16 Na da yolesimu galebe. Na da esalumu higasa. Dia na yolesima! Na esalusu da bai hamedafa gala.
I hate my life! I know I won't live long. Leave me alone because my life is just a breath.
17 Dia abuliba: le osobo bagade dunu da mimogoayale dawa: sala: ? Dia abuliba: le ilia hamobe sosodolalala: ?
Why are human beings so important to you; why are you so concerned about them
18 Dia da hahabe huluane ili abodelala. Dia da mae fisili ilima adoba: lala.
that you inspect them every morning and test them every moment? Won't you ever stop staring at me?
19 Na defo hano ni da: gima: ne, Di da nama sosodobe fonobahadi yolesimu da defea gala.
Won't you ever leave me alone long enough to catch my breath?
20 Di da nama se iasu diasu ouligisu dunu agoai gala. Na wadela: i hou da Dima se iahabela: ? Dia da abuliba: le, dimaga: su adoba: ma: ne, nama dadiga dimaga: sala: ? Na da Dima dioi bagade gaguli ahoabe liligila: ?
What have I done wrong? What have I done to you, Watcher of Humanity? Why have you made me your target, so that I'm a burden even to myself?
21 Dia da na wadela: i hou hamedafa gogolema: ne olofoma: bela: ? Dia da na wadela: i hamobe amo gogolema: ne olofomu hamedei ba: sala: ? Na da hedolowane bogole, uli dogoi ganodini sali ba: mu. Amola, Dia na hogole ba: sea, na da asi dagoi ba: mu.”
If so why don't you pardon my sins, and take away my guilt? Right now I'm going to lie down in the dust, and though you will look for me, I will be gone.”
