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.
“Isn’t a man forced to labor on earth? Aren’t his days like the days of a hired hand?
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 who earnestly desires the shadow, as a hireling who looks for his wages,
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 am made to possess months of misery, wearisome nights are appointed 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 lie down, I say, ‘When will I arise, and the night be gone?’ I toss and turn until the dawning of the day.
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 clothed with worms and clods of dust. My skin closes up, and breaks out afresh.
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 are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.
7 Anumzamoka kagera okanio, nasimu'ma eri'na mani'zamo'a asimu'ma anteankna higeno knare muse zana mago'ane onkegahue.
Oh remember that my life is a breath. My eye will no more 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 more. Your eyes will be on me, but I will not be.
9 Hampoma kiteno'ma kiragama hiankna hu'za fri'za fri vahe kumapima vanaza vahe'mo'za ome fanane hugahaze. (Sheol h7585)
As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he who goes down to Sheol will come up no more. (Sheol h7585)
10 Hagi mago'anena noma'arega ome'nige'za, vahe'mo'za onkegahaze.
He will return no more to his house, neither will 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.
“Therefore I will not keep silent. I will speak in the anguish of my spirit. I will complain in 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 sea monster, that you put a guard 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, ‘My bed will comfort me. My couch will ease my complaint,’
14 Hianagi ava'nanifina nazeri nagogonefenka, avanagna zampina nazeri koro hane.
then you scare me with dreams and terrify me through visions,
15 E'ina higu nata e'ori snuanki nanankena nazeri porari hanage'na fri'neno.
so that my soul chooses strangling, death rather than my bones.
16 Nasimu'ma eri'na mani'zankura tusiza huno navresra hianki, natrege'na zazatera mani'na ova'neno.
I loathe my life. I don’t want to live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
17 Vahera nankna zaga mani'nonkenka, hakare zupa vahe'motagura kagesa are'arerara nehane?
What is man, that you should magnify him, that you should set your mind on him,
18 Nagafare Kagra mika nanterane, mika knama enevigenka ame hunka rerahenka ketere nehane?
that you should visit him every morning, and test him every moment?
19 Kagra amnerega kavua keamne hunka negenka, osi'a kna natresanke'na nagrena nakrigahufi?
How long will you not look away from me, nor leave me alone until I 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 do I do to you, you watcher of men? Why have you set me as a mark for you, so that I am a burden 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.
Why do you not pardon my disobedience, and take away my iniquity? For now will I lie down in the dust. You will seek me diligently, but I will not be.”
