ಯೋಬನು 7
Is there not a warfare to a mortal, upon earth? And, as the days of a hireling, are not his days?
As, a bondman, panteth for the shadow, and as, a hireling, longeth for his wage,
So, have I been made to inherit months of calamity, and, nights of weariness, have been appointed me.
4 ೪ ಮಲಗುವ ವೇಳೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾವಾಗ ಏಳುವೆನೋ ಅಂದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವೆನು; ರಾತ್ರಿಯು ಬೆಳೆಯುತ್ತಾ ಹೋಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಉದಯದವರೆಗೂ ಹೊರಹೊರಳಿ ಸಾಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.
As soon as I lie down, I say, When shall I arise? yet he lengtheneth out the evening, and I am wearied with tossings until the breeze of twilight.
My flesh is clothed with worms and a coating of dust, My skin, hath hardened, and then run afresh:
My days, are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and they are spent, without hope.
Remember thou, that, a wind, is my life, not again shall mine eye see blessing:
Nor shall see me—the eye that used to behold me, Thine eyes, are upon me, and I am not.
A cloud faileth, and is gone, So, he that descendeth to hades, shall not come up: (Sheol h7585)
He shall not return again to his house, and his own place shall be acquainted with him no more.
I also, cannot restrain my mouth, —I must speak, in the anguish of my spirit, I must find utterance, in the bitterness of my soul.
Am, I, a sea, or a sea-monster, —That thou shouldst set over me a watch?
When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall help to carry my complaint,
Then thou scarest me with dreams, and, by visions, dost thou terrify me:
So that my soul chooseth strangling, Death, rather than [these] my bones!
16 ೧೬ ನಾನು ಬೇಸರಗೊಂಡಿದ್ದೇನೆ, ಹೀಗೆ ನಿರಂತರ ಬದುಕುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಇಷ್ಟವಿಲ್ಲ. ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಬಿಟ್ಟುಬಿಡು; ನನ್ನ ದಿನಗಳು ಉಸಿರಿನಂತಿವೆ.
I am wasted away, Not, to times age-abiding, can I live, Let me alone, for, a breath, are my days.
What is a mortal, that thou shouldst nurture him? Or that thou shouldst fix upon him thy mind?
That thou shouldst inspect him morning by morning, moment by moment, shouldst test him?
19 ೧೯ ಇನ್ನೆಷ್ಟರವರೆಗೆ ನೀನು ನನ್ನ ಕಡೆಯಿಂದ ದೃಷ್ಟಿ ತಿರುಗಿಸದೆ ಇರುವಿ? ಉಗುಳನ್ನು ನುಂಗುವಷ್ಟು ಕಾಲವಾದರೂ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಬಿಡುವುದಿಲ್ಲವೇ?
How long wilt thou not look away from me? Wilt thou not let me alone, till I can swallow my spittle?
20 ೨೦ ಮನುಷ್ಯರ ಮೇಲೆ ಕಾವಲಿಡುವವನೇ, ನಾನು ಪಾಪ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದರೂ ನನ್ನ ಕೃತ್ಯದಿಂದ ನಿನಗೆ ಏನಾಯಿತು? ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಶಿಕ್ಷೆಗೆ ಗುರಿಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡದ್ದೇಕೆ? ನನಗೆ ನಾನೇ ಭಾರವಾಗಿದ್ದೇನೆ.
I have sinned, What can I do for thee, thou watcher of men? Wherefore hast thou set me as thine object of attack, or have I become, unto thee, a burden?
21 ೨೧ ನೀನು ನನ್ನ ಅಪರಾಧವನ್ನು ಕ್ಷಮಿಸಿ ನನ್ನ ದೋಷವನ್ನು ಏಕೆ ಪರಿಹರಿಸುವುದಿಲ್ಲ? ನಾನು ಈಗ ಮಣ್ಣಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಮಲಗಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವೆನು; ನೀನು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕುವಾಗ ನಾನು ಇಲ್ಲದೆ ಹೋಗಿರುವೆನು.
And why wilt thou not remove my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? For, now, in the dust, should I lie down, and thou shouldst seek me diligently, and I should not be.
