Job 7
Legacy Standard Bible
7 “[a]Is not man (A)conscripted to labor on earth,
And are not his days like the days of (B)a hired man?
2 As a slave who pants for the shade,
And as a hired man who eagerly hopes for his wages,
3 So am I apportioned months of worthlessness,
And (C)nights of trouble are appointed me.
4 If I (D)lie down I say,
‘When shall I arise?’
But the twilight continues,
And I am saturated with tossing until dawn.
5 My (E)flesh is clothed with worms and a crust of dirt;
My skin scabs over and flows out again.
6 My days are (F)swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,
And come to an end (G)without hope.
7 “Remember that my life (H)is but wind;
My eye will (I)not again see good.
8 The (J)eye of him who sees me will behold me no longer;
Your eyes will be on me, but (K)I will not be.
9 A (L)cloud vanishes, and it is gone,
So (M)he who goes down to (N)Sheol does not come up.
10 He will not return again to his house,
Nor will (O)his place recognize him anymore.
11 “Indeed (P)I will not hold back my mouth;
I will speak in the distress of my spirit;
I will muse on the bitterness of my soul.
12 Am I the sea or (Q)the sea monster,
That You set a guard over me?
13 If I say, ‘(R)My bed will comfort me;
My couch will [b]ease my bitter musing,’
14 Then You frighten me with dreams
And terrify me by visions,
15 So that my soul would choose suffocation,
Death rather than my [c]pains.
16 I have (S)rejected everything; I will not live forever.
Leave me alone, (T)for my days are but a breath.
17 (U)What is man that You magnify him,
And that You set Your heart on him,
18 That (V)You [d]examine him every morning
And test him every moment?
19 [e](W)Will You never turn Your gaze away from me,
Nor let me alone until I swallow my spit?
20 (X)Have I sinned? What have I done to You,
O (Y)watcher of men?
Why have You set me as Your target,
So that I am a burden to myself?
21 Why then (Z)do You not forgive my transgression
And take away my iniquity?
For now I will (AA)lie down in the dust;
And You will seek me earnestly, (AB)but I will not be.”
Yobu 7
Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
7 (A)“Ebiseera by’omuntu ku nsi, tebyagerebwa?
Ennaku ze tezaagerebwa nga ez’omupakasi?
2 (B)Ng’omuddu eyeegomba ekisiikirize okujja,
ng’omupakasi bwe yeesunga empeera ye;
3 (C)bwe ntyo bwe nnaweebwa emyezi egy’okubonaabona,
ebiro ebyokutegana bwe byangererwa.
4 (D)Bwe ngalamira neebake, njogera nti, ‘Ndiyimuka ddi, ekiro kinaakoma ddi?’
Nga nzijudde okukulungutana okutuusa obudde lwe bukya.
5 (E)Omubiri gwange gujjudde envunyu n’ebikakampa,
n’olususu lwange lukutusekutuse era lulabika bubi.
6 (F)“Ennaku zange zidduka okusinga ekyuma ky’omulusi w’engoye bw’atambuza ky’alusisa engoye ze;
era zikoma awatali ssuubi.
7 (G)Ojjukira Ayi Katonda, nti obulamu bwange tebuliimu, wabula mukka bukka,
amaaso gange tegaliddayo kulaba bulungi.
8 (H)Eriiso ly’oyo eryali lindabyeko teririddayo kundaba;
amaaso gammwe galinnoonya, naye nga sikyaliwo.
9 (I)Nga ekire bwe kibulawo ne kigenda,
bw’atyo n’aziikwa mu ntaana talivaayo.
10 (J)Taliddayo mu nnyumba ye,
amaka ge tegaliddayo kumumanya nate.
11 (K)Noolwekyo sijja kuziyiza kamwa kange, nzija kwogera okulumwa kw’omutima gwange;
nzija kwemulugunyiza mu bulumi bw’emmeeme yange.
12 (L)Ndi nnyanja oba ndi lukwata ow’omu buziba,
olyoke onkuume?
13 (M)Bwe ndowooza nti, obuliri bwange bunampa ku mirembe,
ekiriri kyange kinakendeeza ku kulumwa kwange;
14 (N)n’olyoka ontiisa n’ebirooto
era n’onkanga okuyita mu kwolesebwa.
15 (O)Emmeeme yange ne yeegomba okwetuga,
nfe okusinga okuba omulamu.
16 (P)Sikyeyagala, neetamiddwa. Sijja kubeera mulamu emirembe gyonna.
Ndeka; kubanga ennaku zange butaliimu.
17 (Q)Omuntu kye ki ggwe okumugulumiza,
n’omulowoozaako?
18 (R)Bw’otyo n’omwekebejja buli makya,
n’omugezesa buli kaseera?
19 (S)Olituusa ddi nga tonvuddeeko
n’ondeka ne mmira ku malusu?
20 (T)Nyonoonye;
kiki kye nakukola, ggwe omukuumi w’abantu?
Lwaki onfudde nga akabonero ak’obulabe gy’oli,
ne neefuukira omugugu?
21 (U)Era lwaki tosonyiwa kwonoona kwange,
n’oggyawo obutali butuukirivu bwange?
Kubanga kaakano nzija kwebaka mu ntaana;
era ojja kunnoonya ku makya naye naaba sikyaliwo.”
