Jovu 14

1 Hagi a'nemo'zama vahe'ma kasezmantege'za osi'a kna nemani'za rama'a knazampina unefraze.

As for man, the son of woman, his days are short and full of trouble.

2 Trazamo amosre ahenteteno, ame huno friankna vahe'mota nehune. Huge zagemo hanatino remsa higeno amema'amo ame huno fore huteno, ame huno fanane hiankna nehune.

He comes out like a flower, and is cut down: he goes in flight like a shade, and is never seen again.

3 Hagi Kagra e'inahu vahete kavua antenka ketenka mani'nano? Kagra e'inahu vahe zamavarenka keaga huzmantenka refkoa hunezmantano?

Is it on such a one as this that your eyes are fixed, with the purpose of judging him?

4 Hagi agruma osu vahera, iza azeri agru hugara hu'ne? I'o mago'mo'a anara osutfa hugahie.

If only a clean thing might come out of an unclean! But it is not possible.

5 Hagi manita vanuna kna Kagra antahinka kenka hu'nane. Tagra nama'a ika manita vugahune, Kagra antahinka kenka hu'nanankinka, ko e'inahu kna'afi manigahaze hunka hunte'nanankino, mago vahe'mo'a agra'ama manino'ma vania kna'a azeri za'zara huno omanigahie.

If his days are ordered, and you have knowledge of the number of his months, having given him a fixed limit past which he may not go;

6 E'ina hu'negu amnerega kavua antenka negenka, natrege'na mani'ne'na zago eri'za eneri'za vahe'mo'zama nehazaza hu'na manisua kna'afina eri'zana e'neri'na musenkasea ha'neno.

Let your eyes be turned away from him, and take your hand from him, so that he may have pleasure at the end of his day, like a servant working for payment.

7 Na'ankure zafama antagima atrazage'za, ete hagegahune hu'za amuhara nehazanki'za kasefa agata hage'za azankunatmina omere emere hugahaze.

For there is hope of a tree; if it is cut down, it will come to life again, and its branches will not come to an end.

8 Hagi ana zafamofo arafu'namo'a ome ra huno osaparesingeno, agafa'amo'a hagege huno mopafina kasrigahie.

Though its root may be old in the earth, and its cut-off end may be dead in the dust;

9 Hianagi mopafina tima me'nenigeno'a ana zafamo'a ete agata hageno, kasefa zafagna huno hageno marerigahie.

Still, at the smell of water, it will make buds, and put out branches like a young plant.

10 Hianagi vahe'ma frigeno'a hankaveamo'a vaganeregeno, atumparega ra asimu'ma anteteno nefrie.

But man comes to his death and is gone: he gives up his spirit, and where is he?

11 Hagi hagerimpima zagema rentegeno'ma amuho huno amu'ma mareriankna nehuno, ra zagema regeno'ma tiramo'ma taneankna huno,

The waters go from a pool, and a river becomes waste and dry;

12 vahe'mo'a frino manigasa hu'nenigeno monamo'a vagaregahie.

So man goes down to his last resting-place and comes not again: till the heavens come to an end, they will not be awake or come out of their sleep.

13 Hanki matipima fraki nantenka kagekani nantenankeno karimpa ahe'zamo'ma evunagateresiana knare hisine. Hianagi ete nagri'ma antahi namisana kna, mago kna huhamprinanto. (Sheol h7585)

If only you would keep me safe in the underworld, putting me in a secret place till your wrath is past, giving me a fixed time when I might come to your memory again! (Sheol h7585)

14 Hagi fri'ne'nia vahe'mo'a ete otinora manigahifi? Hagi e'inahu zama me'nenige'na, maraguzamati'na vanua knafina frizampinti'ma nazeri oti'nia zankura amuhara hu'na vugahue.

If death takes a man, will he come to life again? All the days of my trouble I would be waiting, till the time came for me to be free.

15 Hagi Kagra nagriku'ma kema hananke'na kenona hunegantenugenka, Kagraka'a kazanuti'ma tro'ma hunte'nana vahe'mo'nagura tusiza hunka antahintahia hugahane.

At the sound of your voice I would give an answer, and you would have a desire for the work of your hands.

16 Na'ankure menina nagama rerakaure'nama kama vanoma nehuazana negananki, kumi'ma huazamofona ohamprio.

For now my steps are numbered by you, and my sin is not overlooked.

17 Hagi e'ina nehunka kefo navu'nava zana kupi eririnka anaki nentenka kumi'ni'a refitesane.

My wrongdoing is corded up in a bag, and my sin is shut up safe.

18 Hianagi agonamo ankariseno eramianka nehigeno, mehimpinti havemo atamana huramiankna nehigeno,

But truly a mountain falling comes to dust, and a rock is moved from its place;

19 tima hageno havea erino eviankna nehanigeno, tima hageno mopa erino viankna hunka vahe'mo'ma maniso'ema hunaku'ma amuha'ma nehiazana eri haviza nehane.

The stones are crushed small by the force of the waters; the dust of the earth is washed away by their overflowing: and so you put an end to the hope of man.

20 Kagra hankavetinka maka knafina zamazeri zamagatere vava nehanke'za fanane nehazagenka, zamavufaga eri ruzahu hutenka huzmantanke'za friza nevaze.

You overcome him for ever, and he is gone; his face is changed in death, and you send him away.

21 Hagi ana vahe'mokizmi mofavreramimo'za zamagi me'nea vahe mani'nazanagi, zamagra e'i ana zana antahi'za ke'za osu'naze. Hagi zamazeri fenkamima atresniana antahi'za ke'za osugahaze.

His sons come to honour, and he has no knowledge of it; they are made low, but he is not conscious of it.

22 Zamagrira zamavufagafintira zamata negrige'za zamatagura nehu'za zamagra zamavufagura zavira netaze.

Only his flesh still has pain, and his soul is sad.
