Job 17
1 “My (life/time to live) is almost ended; I have no strength left; my grave is waiting for me.
Na esalusu fisimu eso da gadenesa. Na mifo heda: mu da gadenenewane gogolei. Na da liligi eno hamomu da hamedei, bogomusa: fawane esala.
2 Those who are around me are making fun of me; I [SYN] watch them while they (taunt/make fun of) me.”
Na da ba: lala. Dunu huluane da na ha: giwane habosesesa.
3 “God, [it is as though I am in prison; ] please pay the money in order that I may be released, because there is certainly no one else who will help me.
Gode! Na da dafawane sia: sa! Na sia: nabima! Na sia: be fuligala: su dunu eno da hame.
4 You have prevented my friends from understanding [what is true about me]; do not allow them to triumph over me, [saying that I have done things that are wrong].
Di da eno dunu ilia asigi dawa: su gogolelesibiba: le, ilia moloidafa hou hame dawa: Ilia da na mae hasalima: ne, ilia logo Dia hedofama.
5 [Our ancestors often said, ‘It often happens that] when someone betrays his friends in order to get some of their property, it is that person’s children who will be punished for it;’ [so I desire/hope that will be true of these friends of mine who are lying about me].
Musa: malasu sia: amogai dunu afae da muni lamusa: , ea na: iyado hohonoi. Amola ea hamobeba: le, ea mano huluane da se nabi.
6 “But now people use that saying of our ancestors when they talk about me; they spit in my face [to insult me].
Amola wali, dunu ilia amo malasu defele, na hamoi ilia sia: sa. Ilia da misini, na odagia defo adugagala: sa.
7 (My sight has become dim/I cannot see well) because I am extremely sad, and my arms and legs are [very thin, with the result that they almost do not cast] [MET] a shadow.
Na da da: i dioiba: le, na si da wadela: mu gadenesa. Na lobo amola emo da geloga: le, baba agoai ba: sa.
8 Those who [say that they] are good/righteous are shocked [when they see what has happened to me], and people who [say that they] (are innocent/have not done anything that is wrong) say that I am wicked/godless and should be punished.
Dunu mogili, ilia hou da moloidafa ilisu sia: sa, amo ilia na hou ba: beba: le fofogadigisa. Ilia da na da Gode Ea hou hamedafa dawa: sia: sa.
9 Those who [claim that they] are righteous will continue to do what [they think] is right, and those [who say] they have not sinned will continue to become stronger.
Dunu amo da ilia hou da noga: idafa ilisu sia: sa, ilia amola da na Gode Ea hou hame dawa: sia: sa. Amola ilia dawa: i da dafawane ilia dawa: sa.
10 “But even if all of those people came [and stood in front of me], I would not find anyone among them who is wise.
Be ilia huluane da na midadi misini aliligisia ganiaba, na da iliga dunu afae bagade dawa: su galebe hamedafa ba: la: loba.
11 My (life/time to live) is almost ended; I have not been able to do the things that I confidently expected to do; [I have not been able to accomplish] anything that I [SYN] desired.
Na hamomu eso da baligi dagoi. Na hamomusa: ilegei da bugi. Na hobea misunu hou dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: su da fisi dagoi.
12 My friends do not know when it is night and when it is day; when it is night, they claim that it is daylight; when it is becoming dark, they claim it is becoming light.
Be na na: iyado dunu ilia da gasi amo da hadigi sia: sa. Ilia da hadigi da gadenei sia: sa. Be na dawa: , na da gasi ganodini esala.
13 If my home will be the place where dead people are, where will I sleep in the darkness? (Sheol h7585)
Nama hobea misunu dafawane hamoma: beyale hou dawa: be da bogosu soge fawane dawa: sa. Amogawi na gasi ganodini dialumu. (Sheol h7585)
14 I may say to the grave, ‘You will be [like] a father to me,’ and say to the maggots [that will eat my body], ‘You will be [like] a mother or younger sisters to me [because you will be where I will always be].’
Na da bogoi uli dogoi amoma na da na ada dio asulimu. Amola daba: amo da na da: i nabe, amoma, “Na ame amola na dalusi,” na da sia: mu.
15 But if I say those things, (will there be anything good that I can confidently expect to happen to me?/there will be nothing good that I can confidently expect to happen to me.) [RHQ] (Is there anyone who knows anything good that I can expect when I am in the grave?/No one knows anything good that I can expect when I am in the grave.) [RHQ]
Na hobea misunu hou dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: su da habidili ganabela: ? Nowa da amo ba: sala: ?
16 After I descend to the place where the dead are, (will I be able to confidently expect anything good there?/I certainly will not be able to confidently expect anything good there.) [RHQ] [It will be as though] [RHQ] I and the things I hope for will descend with me into the dust [where the dead are].” (Sheol h7585)
Na da bogoi dunu ilia sogega gudu dasea, hobea misunu hou hahawane hamoma: beyale dawa: su da na gilisili hame masunu.” (Sheol h7585)
