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.

Is not the life of man upon earth a state of trial? and his existence as that of a hireling by the day?

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.

Or as a servant that fears his master, and one who has grasped a shadow? or as a hireling waiting for his pay?

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 have I also endured months of vanity, and nights of pain have been appointed 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.

Whenever I lie down, I say, When [will it be] day? and whenever I rise up, again [I say] when [will it be] evening? and I am full of pains from evening to morning.

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.

And my body is covered with loathsome worms; and I waste away, scraping off clods of dust from my eruption.

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.

And my life is lighter than a word, and has perished in vain hope.

7 Anumzamoka kagera okanio, nasimu'ma eri'na mani'zamo'a asimu'ma anteankna higeno knare muse zana mago'ane onkegahue.

Remember then that my life is breath, and mine eye shalt not yet again see good.

8 Menima nenagaza vahe'mo'za zazakna onagegosaze. Nagrikura hakegahazanagi, nagra omani ko' vugahue.

The eye of him that sees me shall not see me [again]: thine eyes are upon me, and I am no more.

9 Hampoma kiteno'ma kiragama hiankna hu'za fri'za fri vahe kumapima vanaza vahe'mo'za ome fanane hugahaze. (Sheol h7585)

[I am] as a cloud that is cleared away from the sky: for if a man go down to the grave, he shall not come up again: (Sheol h7585)

10 Hagi mago'anena noma'arega ome'nige'za, vahe'mo'za onkegahaze.

and he shall surely not return to his own house, neither shall his place know him any more.

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.

Then neither will I refrain my mouth: I will speak being in distress; being in anguish I will disclose the bitterness of my soul.

12 Nagra hageri mani'nena, hagerimpi tusi zaga mani'nogenka kegava hunantetenka mani'nano?

Am I a sea, or a serpent, that thou hast set 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.

I said that my bed should comfort me, and I would privately counsel with myself on my couch.

14 Hianagi ava'nanifina nazeri nagogonefenka, avanagna zampina nazeri koro hane.

Thou scarest me with dreams, and dost terrify me with visions.

15 E'ina higu nata e'ori snuanki nanankena nazeri porari hanage'na fri'neno.

Thou wilt separate life from my spirit; and yet [keep] my bones from death.

16 Nasimu'ma eri'na mani'zankura tusiza huno navresra hianki, natrege'na zazatera mani'na ova'neno.

For I shall not live for ever, that I should patiently endure: depart from me, for my life [is] vain.

17 Vahera nankna zaga mani'nonkenka, hakare zupa vahe'motagura kagesa are'arerara nehane?

For what is man, that thou hast magnified him? or that thou givest heed to him?

18 Nagafare Kagra mika nanterane, mika knama enevigenka ame hunka rerahenka ketere nehane?

Wilt thou visit him till the morning, and judge him till [the time of] rest?

19 Kagra amnerega kavua keamne hunka negenka, osi'a kna natresanke'na nagrena nakrigahufi?

How long dost thou not let me alone, nor let me go, until I shall swallow down my spittle?

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 sinned, what shall I be able to do, O thou that understandest the mind of men? why hast thou made me as thine accuser, and [why] am I a burden to thee?

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.

Why hast thou not forgotten my iniquity, and purged my sin? but now I shall depart to the earth; and in the morning I am no more.
