Job 7
1 “Is there not warfare to man on earth? And his days as the days of a hired worker?
“Moul lun mwet uh oana sie mwet mweun su akkohsyeyuk ye ma sap upa nu sel — Oana moul lun sie mwet ma kemkatu ke oru orekma toasr lun pao,
2 As a servant desires the shadow, And as a hired worker expects his wage,
Oana sie mwet foko su kena mongla in acn lul uh; Ac oana sie mwet orekma su soano pacl in eis molin orekma lal.
3 So I have been caused to inherit months of vanity, And they numbered nights of misery to me.
Malem nu ke malem, wanginna sripa nga in moul; Ac fong nu ke fong nga asor na.
4 If I lay down, then I have said, When do I rise, And evening has been measured? And I have been full of tossings until dawn.
Ke nga ona in motulla, pacl uh arulana sumui; Nga oanna pikpik fong fon se ac kena in tari lenelik.
5 My flesh has been clothed [with] worms, And a clod of dust, My skin has been shriveled and is loathsome,
Monuk sessesla ke wet; Afla ke kolo keke; Ac sroano koluk sororla ke faf keik uh.
6 My days swifter than a loom, And they are consumed without hope.
Len luk uh somla ac wangin finsrak kac, Ac fahsr la uh mui liki kutap lun sie mwet tatu nwek.
7 Remember that my life [is] a breath, My eye does not turn back to see good.
“O God, esam lah moul luk uh oana sie mong, Ac wanginla tari pwar luk.
8 The eye of my beholder does not behold me. Your eyes [are] on me—and I am not.
Kom liyeyu inge, tusruktu kom ac fah tia sifil liyeyu tok. Kom fin ac sukyu, tuh nga nu somla tari.
9 A cloud has been consumed, and it goes, So he who is going down to Sheol does not come up. (Sheol h7585)
Oana sie pukunyeng ac sarla ac wanginla, Ouinge sie mwet misa fah tiana sifil foloko; (Sheol h7585)
10 He does not turn to his house again, Nor does his place discern him again.
Mwet nukewa ma etal meet ah, ac tia sifil esamul.
11 Also I do not withhold my mouth—I speak in the distress of my spirit, I talk in the bitterness of my soul.
Ke ma inge, nga tia ku in tila kaskas! Nga kasrkusrak ac mwen insiuk. Enenu na nga in fahkla nunak luk uh.
12 Am I a sea [monster], or a dragon, That You set a watch over me?
“Efu ku kom sap in taranyuk nga? Mea, kom nunku mu nga pa soko ma sulallal in meoa uh?
13 When I said, My bed comforts me, In my talking He takes away my couch.
Nga ona ac srike ngan mongla; Nga sukok ma in lusrongla ngal keik uh.
14 And You have frightened me with dreams, And You terrify me from visions,
A kom — kom aksangengyeyu ke mweme; Ac supwama aruruma ac mweme na koluk
15 And my soul chooses strangling, Death rather than my bones.
Nwe ke na apkuran ngan ke in isasu kwawuk ngan misa, Liki nga in muta in mano keok se inge.
16 I have wasted away—I do not live for all time. Cease from me, for my days [are] vanity.
Nga fuhleak finsrak luk; nga totola ke moul muta uh. Tari fahla likiyu; wanginla sripen moul luk.
17 What [is] man that You magnify him? And that You set Your heart to him?
“Efu ku kom oru mu yohk sripen mwet uh nu sum? Efu ku kom lohang nu ke ma el oru uh?
18 And inspect him in the mornings, [And] in the evenings try him?
Kom tonel ke lotutang nukewa Ac srikal ke minit nukewa.
19 How long do You not look from me? You do not desist until I swallow my spittle.
Mea, kom tia ku in ngetla likiyu ke kitin pacl Ngan ku in ukumya sronin oalik?
20 I have sinned, what do I do to You, O watcher of man? Why have You set me for a mark to You, And I am for a burden to myself—and what?
Ya kom keok ke ma koluk luk, kom su liyaung mwet kapir? Efu ku kom tungalyu oana in sie mwe akoalel lom? Mea, nga mwe toasr se na lom?
21 You do not take away my transgression, And [do not] cause my iniquity to pass away, Because now, I lie down in dust, And You have sought me—and I am not!”
Mea, kom ac tiana nunak munas nu sik ke ma koluk luk nwe tok? Kom tiana ku in tulala ma sufal nga orala uh? Nga akuranna misa, pukpuki, Ac kom ac sukyu tuh na nga wanginla.”
