Jovu 7
1 Vahe'mofo nomani'zamo'a ama mopafina amuho nehie. Hagi nomani zantimo'a, vahe'mo'ma amuhoma huno zago eri'zama eriankna huno tusi amuho nehie.
Has not man his ordered time of trouble on the earth? and are not his days like the days of a servant working for payment?
2 Nagafare nomani'zantimo'a kazokzo eri'za vahe'mo'za zagefi eri'za e'neri'za tonaku hakrazankna nehigeno, eri'za vahe'mo'za mizazmi e'ori'ne'za miza zimigu avega ante'za manizanknara nehie.
As a servant desiring the shades of evening, and a workman looking for his payment:
3 E'ina hu'negu Anumzamo'a natrege'na rama'a ikampina knare osu nomani'zana mani'na ne-e'na maka kenagera narimpagna nehu'na nasu zampinena mani'na neoe.
So I have for my heritage months of pain to no purpose, and nights of weariness are given to me.
4 Hagi kenage'ma mase'ne'na, inankna huno ame huno masa hugahie ha hu'na mase rukrahe rukrahe hu'noe. Hianagi ana hanimo'a, ame hunora masa huno kora otu'ne.
When I go to my bed, I say, When will it be time to get up? but the night is long, and I am turning from side to side till morning light.
5 Hagi navufafina kanimo'a nehigeno namu rifamo'a hantohanto hu'negeno hagege huno hananahanunu hu'ne. Ana nehigeno namumo'a navufafina pro nehigeno avo'mo'a ana namuntamimpintira tusi'za hu'ne.
My flesh is covered with worms and dust; my skin gets hard and then is cracked again.
6 Hagi knama mani'na oanknamo'a ame huno evuevu nehuno, kukenama nehatia nekazamo'ma ame huno'ma kukenafima marerino atiramino'ma nehiaza huno enevige'na, knamaregahue hu'na ontahi'noe.
My days go quicker than the cloth-worker's thread, and come to an end without hope.
7 Anumzamoka kagera okanio, nasimu'ma eri'na mani'zamo'a asimu'ma anteankna higeno knare muse zana mago'ane onkegahue.
O, keep in mind that my life is wind: my eye will never again see good.
8 Menima nenagaza vahe'mo'za zazakna onagegosaze. Nagrikura hakegahazanagi, nagra omani ko' vugahue.
The eye of him who sees me will see me no longer: your eyes will be looking for me, but I will be gone.
9 Hampoma kiteno'ma kiragama hiankna hu'za fri'za fri vahe kumapima vanaza vahe'mo'za ome fanane hugahaze. (Sheol h7585)
A cloud comes to an end and is gone; so he who goes down into the underworld comes not up again. (Sheol h7585)
10 Hagi mago'anena noma'arega ome'nige'za, vahe'mo'za onkegahaze.
He will not come back to his house, and his place will have no more knowledge of him.
11 E'ina hu'negu nagra nagira hamunki'na omanigosuanki, nagu'afima me'nea nata zana huama nehu'na, narimpa haviza hu'zana huama hugahue.
So I will not keep my mouth shut; I will let the words come from it in the pain of my spirit, my soul will make a bitter outcry.
12 Nagra hageri mani'nena, hagerimpi tusi zaga mani'nogenka kegava hunantetenka mani'nano?
Am I a sea, or a sea-beast, that you put a watch over me?
13 Hianagi nagrama antahuana tafe'niare'ma masenua zamo'a nazeri knare nehanigeno, navu'ma mase'zamo narimpa knama hu'na ke hakarema nehuazana eritregahie hu'na nagesa antahi'noe.
When I say, In my bed I will have comfort, there I will get rest from my disease;
14 Hianagi ava'nanifina nazeri nagogonefenka, avanagna zampina nazeri koro hane.
Then you send dreams to me, and visions of fear;
15 E'ina higu nata e'ori snuanki nanankena nazeri porari hanage'na fri'neno.
So that a hard death seems better to my soul than my pains.
16 Nasimu'ma eri'na mani'zankura tusiza huno navresra hianki, natrege'na zazatera mani'na ova'neno.
I have no desire for life, I would not be living for ever! Keep away from me, for my days are as a breath.
17 Vahera nankna zaga mani'nonkenka, hakare zupa vahe'motagura kagesa are'arerara nehane?
What is man, that you have made him great, and that your attention is fixed on him,
18 Nagafare Kagra mika nanterane, mika knama enevigenka ame hunka rerahenka ketere nehane?
And that your hand is on him every morning, and that you are testing him every minute?
19 Kagra amnerega kavua keamne hunka negenka, osi'a kna natresanke'na nagrena nakrigahufi?
How long will it be before your eyes are turned away from me, so that I may have a minute's breathing-space?
20 Maka vahete'ma kavuma antenka negana ne'moka, kagri kavure'ma nagra kumi'ma hu'ne'nuana, na'a kumi hu'nogenka ke'nane? Nagafare kagra kavua nagritera antetenka mani'nane?
If I have done wrong, what have I done to you, O keeper of men? why have you made me a mark for your blows, so that I am a weariness to myself?
21 Nahigenka Kagra kumi'ni'a atre nonantenka, kefo avu'ava zani'a eri notrane? Na'ankure nagra kofa hu'na fri'na kugusopafina mase'nugenka nagrikura hakegahananagi, nagra ko vanugenka onagegosane.
And why do you not take away my sin, and let my wrongdoing be ended? for now I go down to the dust, and you will be searching for me with care, but I will be gone.
