Ījaba 7
1 Vai cilvēkam nav karš virs zemes, un vai viņa dienas nav kā algādža dienas?
Is not the life of man upon earth a state of trial? and his existence as that of a hireling by the day?
2 Tā kā kalps ilgojās pēc ēnas un kā algādzis gaida uz savu algu,
Or as a servant that fears his master, and one who has grasped a shadow? or as a hireling waiting for his pay?
3 Tāpat man nākuši daudz bēdīgi mēneši, un grūtas naktis man ir piešķirtas.
So have I also endured months of vanity, and nights of pain have been appointed me.
4 Kad apguļos, tad es saku: kad atkal celšos? un vakars vilcinājās, un es apnīkstu mētāties gultā līdz gaismai.
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 Mana miesa ir apsegta ar tārpiem un vātīm, mana āda sadzīst un čūlo atkal.
And my body is covered with loathsome worms; and I waste away, scraping off clods of dust from my eruption.
6 Manas dienas ir ātrākas nekā vēvera (audēja) spole un beidzās bez nekādas cerības.
And my life is lighter than a word, and has perished in vain hope.
7 Piemini, ka mana dzīvība ir vējš un mana acs labuma vairs neredzēs.
Remember then that my life is breath, and mine eye shall not yet again see good.
8 Acs, kas nu mani redz, manis vairs neredzēs. Tavas acis uz mani skatās, un es vairs neesmu.
The eye of him that sees me shall not see me [again]: your eyes are upon me, and I am no more.
[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 Viņš neatgriezīsies atkal savā namā, un viņa vieta viņu vairs nepazīs.
and he shall surely not return to his own house, neither shall his place know him any more.
11 Tā tad es savu muti neturēšu, es runāšu savās sirds bēdās, es žēlošos savā sirdsrūgtumā.
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 Vai tad es esmu kā jūra, vai kā liela jūras zivs, ka tu ap mani noliec vakti?
Am I a sea, or a serpent, that you have set a watch over me?
13 Kad es saku: mana gulta man iepriecinās, manas cisas atvieglinās manas vaimanas,
I said that my bed should comfort me, and I would privately counsel with myself on my couch.
14 Tad Tu mani izbiedē ar sapņiem, un caur parādīšanām Tu mani iztrūcini,
You scare me with dreams, and do terrify me with visions.
15 Tā ka mana dvēsele vēlās būt nožņaugta, labāki mirt nekā tā izģinst.
You will separate life from my spirit; and yet [keep] my bones from death.
16 Es esmu apnicis, man netīk mūžam dzīvot; atstājies jel no manis, jo manas dienas ir kā nekas.
For I shall not live for ever, that I should patiently endure: depart from me, for my life [is] vain.
17 Kas ir cilvēks, ka Tu viņu tik augsti turi un ka Tu viņu lieci vērā,
For what is man, that you have magnified him? or that you give heed to him?
18 Un viņu piemeklē ik rītu, viņu pārbaudi ik acumirkli,
Will you visit him till the morning, and judge him till [the time of] rest?
19 Ka Tu nemaz no manis neatstājies un mani nepameti, ne siekalas ierīt?
How long do you not let me alone, nor let me go, until I shall swallow down my spittle?
20 Ja esmu grēkojis, ko es Tev darīšu, Tu cilvēku sargs? Kāpēc Tu mani esi licis Sev par mērķi, ka es sev pašam palicis par nastu?
If I have sinned, what shall I be able to do, O you that understand the mind of men? why have you made me as your accuser, and [why] am I a burden to you?
21 Un kāpēc Tu manus pārkāpumus nepiedod un neatņem manu noziegumu? Jo nu es apgulšos pīšļos, un kad Tu mani meklēsi, tad manis vairs nebūs.
Why have you not forgotten my iniquity, and purged my sin? but now I shall depart to the earth; and in the morning I am no more.
