< Job 14 >
1 A human being born of a woman [is] short of days and surfeited of turmoil.
Life is short and full of trouble,
2 Like a flower he comes forth and he withered and he fled like shadow and not he remains.
like a flower that blooms and withers, like a passing shadow that soon disappears.
3 Indeed? on this do you open eyes your and me do you bring? in judgment with yourself.
Do you even notice me, God, and why do you have to drag me to court?
4 Who? will he make a clean [thing] from an unclean [thing] not one [person].
Who can bring something clean of what is unclean? No one.
5 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.
You have determined how long we shall live—the number of months, a time limit on our lives.
6 Look away from on him so he may cease until he takes pleasure in like a hired laborer day his.
So leave us alone and give us some peace—so like a laborer we could enjoy a few hours of rest at the end of the day.
7 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.
Even a tree that's cut down has the hope of sprouting again, of sending up shoots and continuing to live.
8 Though it will grow old in the ground root its and in the dust it will die stump its.
Even though its roots grow old in the earth, and its stump dies in the ground,
9 From [the] scent of water it will show buds and it will produce shoot[s] like a plant.
just a trickle of water will make it bud and grow branches like a young plant.
10 And a man he dies and he was weak and he expired a person and where [is]? he.
But human beings die, their strength dwindles away; they perish, and where are they then?
11 They disappear waters from [the] sea and a river it dries up and it is dry.
Like water evaporating from a lake and a river that dries up and disappears,
12 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.
so human beings lie down and don't get up again. Until the heavens cease to exist they will not awake from their sleep.
13 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 )
I wish you would hide me in Sheol; conceal me there until your anger is gone. Set a definite time for me there, and remember me! (Sheol )
14 If he will die a man ¿ will he live all [the] days of service my I will wait until comes relief my.
Will the dead live again? Then I would have hope through all my time of trouble until my release comes.
15 You will call and I I will answer you for [the] work of hands your you will long.
You would call and I would answer you; you would long for me, the being that you made.
16 For now steps my you will count not you will watch over sin my.
Then you would look after me and wouldn't be watching me to see if I sinned.
17 [will be] sealed up In a bag transgression my and you have smeared over iniquity my.
My sins would be sealed up in a bag and you would cover my guilt.
18 And but a mountain [is] falling it crumbles away and a rock it moves from place its.
But just as the mountains crumble and fall, and the rocks tumble down;
19 Stones - they rub away waters it washes off overflowings its [the] dust of [the] earth and [the] hope of humankind you destroy.
as water wears away the stones, as floods wash away the soil, so you destroy the hope people have.
20 You overpower him to perpetuity and he went [you are] changing face his and you sent away him.
You continually overpower them and they pass away; you distort their faces in death and send them away.
21 They are honored sons his and not he knows and they may be insignificant and not he perceives it.
Their children may become important or fall from their positions, but they don't know or see any of this.
22 Only own flesh his on himself it is in pain and self his on himself it mourns.
As people die they only know their own pain and are sad for themselves.”
