Job 14
1 A man is borun of a womman, and lyueth schort tyme, and is fillid with many wretchidnessis.
“Mwanadamu aliyezaliwa na mwanamke siku zake ni chache nazo zimejaa taabu.
2 Which goith out, and is defoulid as a flour; and fleeth as schadewe, and dwellith neuere perfitli in the same staat.
Huchanua kama ua kisha hunyauka; huwa kama kivuli kipitacho upesi, wala hadumu.
3 And gessist thou it worthi to opene thin iyen on siche a man; and to brynge hym in to doom with thee?
Je, unamwekea jicho lako mtu kama huyo? Je, utamleta mbele yako katika hukumu?
4 Who may make a man clene conseyued of vnclene seed? Whether not thou, which art aloone?
Ni nani awezaye kutoa kitu safi kutoka kitu najisi? Hakuna awezaye!
5 The daies of man ben schorte, the noumbre of his monethis is at thee; thou hast set, ethir ordeyned, hise termes, whiche moun not be passid.
Siku za mwanadamu zimewekewa mpaka; umekwisha kutangaza idadi ya miezi yake na kuweka mpaka ambao hawezi kuuvuka.
6 Therfor go thou awey fro hym a litil, `that is, bi withdrawyng of bodili lijf, that he haue reste; til the meede coueitid come, and his dai is as the dai of an hirid man.
Hivyo angalia mbali umwache, hadi awe amekamilisha muda wake kama mtu aliyeajiriwa.
7 A tree hath hope, if it is kit doun; and eft it wexith greene, and hise braunches spreden forth.
“Kwa maana lipo tumaini kwa mti; kama ukikatwa utachipuka tena, nayo machipukizi yake mapya hayatakoma.
8 If the roote therof is eeld in the erthe, and the stok therof is nyy deed in dust;
Mizizi yake yaweza kuchakaa ardhini na kisiki chake kufa udongoni,
9 it schal buriowne at the odour of watir, and it schal make heer, as whanne it was plauntid first.
lakini kwa kupata dalili ya maji utachipua na kutoa machipukizi kama mche.
10 But whanne a man is deed, and maad nakid, and wastid; Y preye, where is he?
Lakini mwanadamu hufa, na huo ndio mwisho wake; hutoa pumzi ya mwisho, naye hayuko tena!
11 As if watris goen awei fro the see, and a ryuer maad voide wexe drie,
Kama vile maji yatowekavyo katika bahari, au mkondo wa mto ukaushwavyo na kuwa mkavu,
12 so a man, whanne he hath slept, `that is, deed, he schal not rise ayen, til heuene be brokun, `that is, be maad newe; he schal not wake, nether he schal ryse togidere fro his sleep.
ndivyo mwanadamu alalavyo chini asiamke; hadi mbingu zitakapokuwa hazipo tena, wanadamu hawataamka au kuamshwa kutoka kwenye usingizi wao.
13 Who yiueth this to me, that thou defende me in helle, and that thou hide me, til thi greet veniaunce passe; and thou sette to me a tyme, in which thou haue mynde on me? (Sheol h7585)
“Laiti kama ungenificha kaburini, na kunisitiri hadi hasira yako ipite! Laiti ungeniwekea wakati, na kisha ukanikumbuka! (Sheol h7585)
14 Gessist thou, whethir a deed man schal lyue ayen? In alle the daies, in whiche Y holde knyythod, now Y abide, til my chaungyng come.
Je, kama mtu akifa, aweza kuishi tena? Siku zote za kazi zangu ngumu nitangojea kufanywa upya kwangu.
15 Thou schalt clepe me, and Y schal answere thee; thou schalt dresse the riyt half, `that is, blis, to the werk of thin hondis.
Utaniita nami nitakuitika; utakionea shauku kiumbe ambacho mikono yako ilikiumba.
16 Sotheli thou hast noumbrid my steppis; but spare thou my synnes.
Hakika ndipo utakapozihesabu hatua zangu, lakini hutazifuatia dhambi zangu.
17 Thou hast seelid as in a bagge my trespassis, but thou hast curid my wickidnesse.
Makosa yangu yatafungiwa kwa lakiri kwenye mfuko, nawe utazifunika dhambi zangu.
18 An hil fallynge droppith doun; and a rooche of stoon is borun ouer fro his place.
“Lakini kama mlima umomonyokavyo na kufikichika na kama vile mwamba uondolewavyo mahali pake,
19 Watris maken stoonys holowe, and the erthe is wastid litil and litil bi waischyng a wey of watir; and therfor thou schalt leese men in lijk maner.
kama maji yamalizavyo mawe, na mafuriko yachukuavyo udongo, ndivyo unavyoharibu tegemeo la mwanadamu.
20 Thou madist a man strong a litil, that he schulde passe with outen ende; thou schalt chaunge his face, and schalt sende hym out.
Humshinda mara moja kwa daima, naye hutoweka; waibadilisha sura yake na kumwondoa.
21 Whether hise sones ben noble, ether vnnoble, he schal not vndurstonde.
Kama wanawe wakipewa heshima, yeye hafahamu; kama wakidharauliwa, yeye haoni.
22 Netheles his fleisch, while he lyueth, schal haue sorewe, and his soule schal morne on hym silf.
Yeye hasikii kingine isipokuwa maumivu ya mwili wake mwenyewe, naye huomboleza kwa ajili yake mwenyewe.”
