< Job 14 >
1 As for man, the son of woman, his days are short and full of trouble.
A human being born of a woman [is] short of days and surfeited of turmoil.
2 He comes out like a flower, and is cut down: he goes in flight like a shade, and is never seen again.
Like a flower he comes forth and he withered and he fled like shadow and not he remains.
3 Is it on such a one as this that your eyes are fixed, with the purpose of judging him?
Indeed? on this do you open eyes your and me do you bring? in judgment with yourself.
4 If only a clean thing might come out of an unclean! But it is not possible.
Who? will he make a clean [thing] from an unclean [thing] not one [person].
5 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;
If [are] determined - days his [the] number of months his [is] with you (limits his *Q(K)*) you have appointed and not he will pass.
6 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.
Look away from on him so he may cease until he takes pleasure in like a hired laborer day his.
7 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.
For there for a tree [is] hope if it will be cut down and again it will sprout afresh and young shoot[s] its not it will fail.
8 Though its root may be old in the earth, and its cut-off end may be dead in the dust;
Though it will grow old in the ground root its and in the dust it will die stump its.
9 Still, at the smell of water, it will make buds, and put out branches like a young plant.
From [the] scent of water it will show buds and it will produce shoot[s] like a plant.
10 But man comes to his death and is gone: he gives up his spirit, and where is he?
And a man he dies and he was weak and he expired a person and where [is]? he.
11 The waters go from a pool, and a river becomes waste and dry;
They disappear waters from [the] sea and a river it dries up and it is dry.
12 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.
And a person he lies down and not he will arise until [is] not heaven not they will awake and not they will be roused from sleep their.
13 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 )
Who? will he give - in Sheol you will hide me you will conceal me until turns back anger your you will set for me a limit and you will remember me. (Sheol )
14 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.
If he will die a man ¿ will he live all [the] days of service my I will wait until comes relief my.
15 At the sound of your voice I would give an answer, and you would have a desire for the work of your hands.
You will call and I I will answer you for [the] work of hands your you will long.
16 For now my steps are numbered by you, and my sin is not overlooked.
For now steps my you will count not you will watch over sin my.
17 My wrongdoing is corded up in a bag, and my sin is shut up safe.
[will be] sealed up In a bag transgression my and you have smeared over iniquity my.
18 But truly a mountain falling comes to dust, and a rock is moved from its place;
And but a mountain [is] falling it crumbles away and a rock it moves from place its.
19 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.
Stones - they rub away waters it washes off overflowings its [the] dust of [the] earth and [the] hope of humankind you destroy.
20 You overcome him for ever, and he is gone; his face is changed in death, and you send him away.
You overpower him to perpetuity and he went [you are] changing face his and you sent away him.
21 His sons come to honour, and he has no knowledge of it; they are made low, but he is not conscious of it.
They are honored sons his and not he knows and they may be insignificant and not he perceives it.
22 Only his flesh still has pain, and his soul is sad.
Only own flesh his on himself it is in pain and self his on himself it mourns.
