Job 7
1 “People need to work hard on this earth, like soldiers do; all during the time that we are alive, we work hard [RHQ], like laborers/servants do.
Osobo bagade dunu ea esalusu da sesesu dadi gagui dunu ea hawa: hamosu defele amola udigili gasa bagade hawa: hamosu agoane.
2 We are like [SIM] slaves who keep wanting to be in the cool shade, and we are like [SIM] workers who are waiting to be paid.
Ea esalusu da udigili hawa: hamosu dunu amo da anegagima: ne, ifa ougiha esalumusa: hanai gala. Ea esalusu da hamosu dunu amo da ea bidi lama: ne, hanaiwane ouesalebe ba: sa.
3 God has given me many months [in which I think that it is] useless [to remain alive]; he has allotted/given to me many nights during which I feel miserable.
Oubi uduli, eno uduli, na da udigili se nabawane esala. Na bu esaloma: ne da bai hame gala. Gasili asili bu eno gasili, na da da: i dioi fawane ba: sa.
4 When I lie down [at night] I say, ‘How long will it be until morning?’ But nights are long, and I (toss/turn over and over) [on my bed] until dawn.
Na da golai be sidagane esala. Gasi huluane na da sidagane gilala, soge hedolo hadigima: ne dawa: lala.
5 My body is covered with maggots and scabs; pus oozes out of my open sores.
Na da: i da fioso amoga nabai. Na da: i da aiya heheya: amoga dedeboi dagoi. Na aiya amoga guhi da daha.
6 My days pass as quickly as a weaver’s (shuttle/stick that takes the thread back and forth), and they end without my confidently expecting [that things will be better the next day].
Na da hobea misunu dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: lusu hamedene, eso da hedolowane hehenasa.
7 God, do not forget that my life is [as short as] a breath [MET]; I [think that] I [SYN] will never again be happy.
Gode! Mae gogolema! Na esalusu da mifo lai afadafa fawane agoai gala. Na hahawane hou da fisi dagoi.
8 God, you [SYN] see me now, but [some day] you will not see me any more. You will search for me, but I will be gone [because I will be dead].
Dia da wahadafa na ba: sa. Be hobea bu hamedafa ba: mu. Dia na hogosea, na da asi dagoi ba: mu.
10 they never return to their houses, and people among whom they lived do not remember them any more.
Mu mobi da ba: lalu, hedolowane gilasi dagoi ba: sa. Amo defele, ninia osobo bagade dunu da bogosea, hame buhagisa. Nini dawa: su dunu, ilia da nini hedolo gogolesa. (Sheol h7585)
11 So, I will not be silent; while I am suffering I will speak; I will complain [to God about what has happened to me] because I [SYN] am very angry.
Hame mabu! Na da hamedafa ouiya: mu! Na da ougi amola gia: i bagade gala. Na da sia: mu!
12 [God, ] why do you watch closely what I am doing? [Do you think that] I am a [dangerous] sea monster?
Gode! Dia da abuliba: le na sosodo aligisala: ? Na da wayabo bagade wadela: i ohe bagade, Dia da dawa: sala: ?
13 When [I lie down at night, ] I think, ‘I will be comforted here on my bed; my pain will be less while I am sleeping.’
Na da helefimusa: diala be golamu hamedei. Na da na se nabasu fisima: ne, logo hogosa.
14 But then you give me dreams that cause me to be afraid; you give me visions that terrify me,
Be Dia da na beda: ma: ne simasia olelesa. Dia da na esala ba: la: lusu amola wadela: i simasia ba: su nama iasisa.
15 with the result that I would prefer to be strangled to death than to continue to [be alive] being only a bunch of bones.
Amaiba: le, na da na da: i ganodini bu esalumu higasa. Dunu eno da na galogoa gaguli, na fane legemu da defea gala.
16 I detest continuing to be alive; I do not want to live for many years [HYP]. Allow me to be alone, [because I will be alive] for only a very short remaining time [HYP].
Na da yolesimu galebe. Na da esalumu higasa. Dia na yolesima! Na esalusu da bai hamedafa gala.
17 “We human beings are not [very important]; so, why do you pay a lot of attention to us [DOU]?
Dia abuliba: le osobo bagade dunu da mimogoayale dawa: sala: ? Dia abuliba: le ilia hamobe sosodolalala: ?
18 You look at us every morning [to see what we are doing], and examine us every moment [to see if we are doing what is right].
Dia da hahabe huluane ili abodelala. Dia da mae fisili ilima adoba: lala.
19 (When will you stop looking at me and leave me alone [for a little time], long enough to swallow my spit?/Please stop looking at me and leave me alone [for a little time], long enough to swallow my spit.) [RHQ]
Na defo hano ni da: gima: ne, Di da nama sosodobe fonobahadi yolesimu da defea gala.
20 [Why do] you watch me constantly? If I sin, that certainly does not harm you! Why have you set me up like a target to shoot at? Do you consider me to be a heavy load that you are forced to carry?
Di da nama se iasu diasu ouligisu dunu agoai gala. Na wadela: i hou da Dima se iahabela: ? Dia da abuliba: le, dimaga: su adoba: ma: ne, nama dadiga dimaga: sala: ? Na da Dima dioi bagade gaguli ahoabe liligila: ?
21 [If I have sinned, ] are you not able to forgive me for my sins— the things that I have done that are wrong? Soon I will lie in my grave; you will search for me, but [you will not find me because] I will be [dead and] gone.”
Dia da na wadela: i hou hamedafa gogolema: ne olofoma: bela: ? Dia da na wadela: i hamobe amo gogolema: ne olofomu hamedei ba: sala: ? Na da hedolowane bogole, uli dogoi ganodini sali ba: mu. Amola, Dia na hogole ba: sea, na da asi dagoi ba: mu.”
