Job 14
1 “We humans are very frail. We live only a short time, and we experience a lot of trouble.
Nini huluane da gasa hamedei amola hahani agoane lalelegei. Ninia esalusu da dunumuni amola amo ganodini bidi hamosu da defele hamosa.
2 We disappear quickly, like flowers that grow from the ground quickly and then wither and die [SIM]. We are like shadows that disappear [when the sun stops shining].
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.
3 [Yahweh, ] why do you keep watching me [to see if I am doing something that is wrong] [RHQ]? Are you wanting to take me to court to judge me?
Gode! Na da hamedeiba: le, Dia na ba: ma: bela: ? Di da nama adoba: ma: ne fofada: ma: bela: ?
4 People are sinners from the time when they are born; who can cause them to be sinless? No one [RHQ]!
Ninia osobo bagade dunu da ledo bagade gala. Fofoloi liligi da ninima gadili masunu hamedei.
5 You have decided how long our lives will be. You have decided how many months we will live, and we cannot live more months than the (limit/number of months) that you have decided.
Gode! Di da ninia esalumu ode amola oubi amo ninia hame lalelegei esoga ilegesa. Di da amo ilegeiba: le, bu afadenemu da hamedeidafa.
6 So please stop examining us, and allow us to be alone, until/while we finish our time [here on earth], like a man finishes his work [at the end of the day].
Ninima sosodobe yolesima! Nini yolesima! Ninia da se nabawane esala. Be ninia da fonobahadi hahawane esaloma: ne, Di nini yolesima!
7 If someone cuts a tree down, we hope that it will sprout again and grow new branches.
Ifa daou da dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: su gala. E da abi dagoi be e da bu gahegini lula dada: sa.
8 Its roots in the ground may be very old, and its stump may decay,
Osobo hagudu, ifa ea daou amola difi da nuisa.
9 but if some water falls on it, it may bud/sprout and send up shoots like a young plant.
Be hano da dialebeba: le bu gahegini ulu heda: sa.
10 But when we people lose all our strength and die, we stop breathing and then we are gone [forever].
Be dunu da bogosea, e da fisi dagoi ba: sa. E da bogosea, habidili ba: ma: bela: ?
11 Just like water evaporates from the ocean, or like a riverbed dries up,
Amo da hano dalu yolebe, amola hano wayabo habe, amo defele,
12 people [lie down and die and] do not get up again. Until the heavens disappear, people who die [EUP] do not wake up, and no one can wake them up.
dunu da bogosea, hamedafa wa: legadosa. Mu da mae mugululi dialeawane, ilia da hamedafa wa: legadomu amola ilia golai da hame nedigimu.
13 [“Yahweh, ] I wish that you would put me safely in the place of the dead and forget about me until you are no longer angry with me. I wish that you would decide how much time I would spend there, and then remember [that] I [am there]. (Sheol h7585)
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)
14 When we humans die, we will certainly not live again [RHQ]. If [I knew that] we would live again, I would wait patiently, and I would wait for you to release me [from my sufferings].
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.
15 You would call me, and I would answer. You would be eager to see me, one of the creatures that you had made.
Amasea, Di da nama wele sia: sea, na da dabe adole imunu. Amola Di da na (Dia hamoi liligi) hahawane ba: mu.
16 You would take care of [MET] me, instead of watching me to see if I would sin.
Amasea, Di da na osa: le gaga ahoabe huluane ba: mu. Be Di da na wadela: le hamobe hame abodelalumu.
17 [It is as though the record of] my sins would be sealed in a small bag, and you would cover them up.
Di da na wadela: i hou huluanedafa gogolema: ne olofomu.
18 “But, just like mountains crumble and rocks fall down from a cliff,
Eso da misunu amoga goumi da mugululi sa: imu, amola gasa bagade gafulu da agele sa: imu.
19 and just like water slowly wears away the stones, and just like floods wash away soil, [you eventually destroy us]; you do not allow us to continue to (hope/confidently expect) [that we will keep on living].
Hano da magufu dogosa, amola gibu bagade da osobo dogone fasisa. Amo defele, Di da ninia dafawane esaloma: beyale dawa: su gugunufinisisa.
20 You always defeat us, and then we die [EUP]. You cause our faces to look ugly after we die, and you send us away.
Di da Dia gasaga osobo bagade dunu banenesili, e bu hamedafa misa: ne, sefasisa. E da bogobeba: le, odagi momogosa.
21 [When we die] we do not know if our sons will grow up and [do things that will cause them to] be honored. And if they become disgraced, we do not see that, [either].
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.
22 We will feel our own pains; we will not feel anything else; we will be sorry for ourselves, not for anyone else.”
E da ea da: i hodo se fawane naba. Amola ea asigi dawa: su da: i dioi fawane naba.
