Ayubu 17
1 Moyo wangu umevunjika, siku zangu zimefupishwa, kaburi linaningojea.
Spirit my it is broken days my they are extinguished grave [belong] to me.
2 Hakika wenye mizaha wamenizunguka; macho yangu yamebaki kutazama uadui wao.
Not mockeries [are] with me and on rebelling they may it dwell eye my.
3 “Ee Mungu, nipe dhamana unayodai. Ni nani mwingine atakayeweka dhamana kwa ajili yangu?
Make! please stand surety for me with yourself who? that to hand my will he strike himself.
4 Umezifunga akili zao zisipate ufahamu, kwa hiyo hutawaacha wapate ushindi.
For heart their you have kept from understanding there-fore not you will exalt [them].
5 Kama mtu akiwashutumu rafiki zake ili apate ujira, macho ya watoto wake yatashindwa kuona.
For a share he tells friends and [the] eyes of children his they will fail.
6 “Mungu amenifanya kitu cha dhihaka kwa kila mtu, mtu ambaye watu humtemea mate usoni.
And he has set me to use a proverb peoples and a spitting to [the] face I am.
7 Macho yangu yamefifia kwa ajili ya majonzi; umbile langu lote ni kama kivuli.
And it has grown dim from grief eye my and members my [are] like shadow all of them.
8 Watu wanyofu wanatishwa na hili; watu wasio na hatia wanasimama dhidi ya wasiomcha Mungu.
They are appalled upright [people] on this and [the] innocent on [the] godless he will rouse himself.
9 Hata hivyo, waadilifu watazishika njia zao, nao wale wenye mikono safi wataendelea kupata nguvu.
And he may hold [the] righteous way his and [the] clean of hands he will increase strength.
10 “Lakini ninyi njooni, ninyi nyote, jaribuni tena! Sitampata mtu mwenye hekima miongoni mwenu.
And but all of them you will return and come please and not I will find among you a wise [person].
11 Siku zangu zimepita, mipango yangu imevunjika, vivyo hivyo shauku za moyo wangu.
Days my they have passed plans my they have been torn apart [the] wishes of heart my.
12 Watu hawa hufanya usiku kuwa mchana, kwenye giza wao husema, ‘Mwanga u karibu.’
Night into day they make light [is] near from before darkness.
13 Kama nyumba pekee ninayoitarajia ni kaburi, kama nikikitandika kitanda changu gizani, (Sheol h7585)
If I will hope for Sheol home my in the darkness I have spread out beds my. (Sheol h7585)
14 kama nikiuambia uharibifu, ‘Wewe u baba yangu,’ na kuliambia buu, ‘Wewe u mama yangu’ au ‘Dada yangu,’
To the pit I have called out [are] father my you O mother my and sister my to the maggot.
15 liko wapi basi tarajio langu? Ni nani awezaye kuona tarajio lolote kwa ajili yangu?
And where? then [is] hope my and hope my who? will he observe it.
