< Ayubu 7 >
1 Je mtu hana kazi ngumu juu ya nchi? Je siku zake si kama siku za mwajiriwa?
Knyythod is lijf of man on erthe, and his daies ben as the daies of an hired man.
2 Kama mtumwa atamaniye sana kivuli cha jioni, kama mwajiriwa atafutaye ujira wake -
As an hert desireth schadowe, and as an hirede man abideth the ende of his werk;
3 hivyo nami nimeumbwa kuvumilia miezi ya taabu; Nami nimepewa taabu - zimeujaza usiku.
so and Y hadde voide monethis, and Y noumbrede trauailous niytes to me.
4 Hapo nilalapo chini, najiuliza mwenyewe, 'Lini nitatoka kitandani na lini usiku utatoweka?' Nimejawa na kujitupa huku na huko hadi mwanzo wa siku.
If Y schal slepe, Y schal seie, Whanne schal Y rise? and eft Y schal abide the euentid, and Y schal be fillid with sorewis `til to derknessis.
5 Mwili wangu umevikwa minyoo na madonda yenye vumbi; maumivu katika ngozi yangu yamekuwa magumu na kisha hutoweka na huendelea tena.
Mi fleisch is clothid with rot, and filthis of dust; my skyn driede vp, and is drawun togidere.
6 Siku zangu zinakimbia kuliko chombo cha kufumia; zinapita bila tumaini.
My daies passiden swiftliere thanne a web is kit doun `of a webstere; and tho daies ben wastid with outen ony hope.
7 Mungu, anakumbuka kwamba maisha yangu ni pumzi tu; jicho langu halitaona mema tena.
God, haue thou mynde, for my lijf is wynde, and myn iye schal not turne ayen, that it se goodis.
8 Jicho lake Mungu, huyo anionaye mimi, halitaniangalia tena; Macho ya Mungu yatanitazama, lakini sitakuwako.
Nethir the siyt of man schal biholde me; but thin iyen ben in me, and Y schal not `be in deedli lijf.
9 kama vile wingu liishavyo na kutoweka, hivyo wale waendao sheoli hawatarudi tena kabisa. (Sheol )
As a cloude is wastid, and passith, so he that goith doun to helle, schal not stie; (Sheol )
10 Yeye hatarudi tena nyumbani kwake, wala mahali pake hapatamtambua tena.
nether schal turne ayen more in to his hows, and his place schal no more knowe hym.
11 Kwa sababu hiyo sitakizuia kinywa changu; Nitasema juu ya maumivu makubwa ya roho yangu; Nitanung'unika juu ya uchungu wa nafsi yangu.
Wherfor and Y schal not spare my mouth; Y schal speke in the tribulacioun of my spirit, Y schal talke togidere with the bitternesse of my soule.
12 Je mimi ni bahari au kiumbe cha kutisha baharini hata ukaweka mlinzi juu yangu?
Whether Y am the see, ethir a whal, for thou hast cumpassid me with prisoun?
13 Hapo nisemapo, 'kitanda changu kitanifariji, na malazi yangu yatatuliza manung'uniko yangu,'
If Y seie, My bed schal coumfort me, and Y schal be releeuyd, spekynge with me in my bed;
14 halafu unitishapo kwa ndoto na kunitisha kwa maono,
thou schalt make me aferd bi dremys, and thou schalt schake me with `orrour, ethir hidousnesse, `bi siytis.
15 ili nichague kunyongwa na kufa kuliko kulinda mifupa yangu hii.
Wherfor my soule `chees hangyng, and my boonys cheesiden deth.
16 Ninayachukia kabisa maisha yangu; sitamani siku zote kuwa hai; usinisumbue maana siku zangu hazifai.
`Y dispeiride, now Y schal no more lyue; Lord, spare thou me, for my daies ben nouyt.
17 Je mtu ni nini hata ukatia bidii kwake, na ukaweka akili yako kwake,
What is a man, for thou `magnifiest hym? ether what settist thou thin herte toward hym?
18 na kumwangalia kila asubuhi, na kumjaribu kila mara?
Thou visitist hym eerly, and sudeynli thou preuest hym.
19 Je itachukuwa muda gani kabla hujaacha kuniangalia, wala kunisumbua muda wa kutosha kwaajili ya kumeza mate yangu?
Hou long sparist thou not me, nether suffrist me, that Y swolowe my spotele?
20 Hata kama nimefanya dhambi, itakusaidia nini, wewe ulindaye wanadamu? Kwa nini umenifanya shabaha yako, kiasi kwamba nimekuwa mzigo kwako?
Y haue synned; A! thou kepere of men, what schal Y do to thee? Whi hast thou set me contrarie to thee, and Y am maad greuouse to my silf?
21 Kwa nini hunisamehi makosa yangu na kuniondolea uovu wangu? kwa kuwa sasa nitalala mavumbini; na wewe utanitafuta kwa bidii, lakini sitakuwako.”
Whi doist thou not awei my sinne, and whi takist thou not awei my wickidnesse? Lo! now Y schal slepe in dust, and if thou sekist me eerli, Y schal not abide.
