Job Speaks of Life’s Woes
14 “Man who is born of woman
Is of few days and (A)full of [a]trouble.
2 (B)He comes forth like a flower and fades away;
He flees like a shadow and does not continue.
3 And (C)do You open Your eyes on such a one,
And (D)bring [b]me to judgment with Yourself?
4 Who (E)can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
No one!
5 (F)Since his days are determined,
The number of his months is with You;
You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass.
6 (G)Look away from him that he may [c]rest,
Till (H)like a hired man he finishes his day.
7 “For there is hope for a tree,
If it is cut down, that it will sprout again,
And that its tender shoots will not cease.
8 Though its root may grow old in the earth,
And its stump may die in the ground,
9 Yet at the scent of water it will bud
And bring forth branches like a plant.
10 But man dies and [d]is laid away;
Indeed he [e]breathes his last
And where is (I)he?
11 As water disappears from the sea,
And a river becomes parched and dries up,
12 So man lies down and does not rise.
(J)Till the heavens are no more,
They will not awake
Nor be roused from their sleep.
13 “Oh, that You would hide me in the grave,
That You would conceal me until Your wrath is past,
That You would appoint me a set time, and remember me!
14 If a man dies, shall he live again?
All the days of my hard service (K)I will wait,
Till my change comes.
15 (L)You shall call, and I will answer You;
You shall desire the work of Your hands.
16 For now (M)You number my steps,
But do not watch over my sin.
17 (N)My transgression is sealed up in a bag,
And You [f]cover my iniquity.
18 “But as a mountain falls and crumbles away,
And as a rock is moved from its place;
19 As water wears away stones,
And as torrents wash away the soil of the earth;
So You destroy the hope of man.
20 You prevail forever against him, and he passes on;
You change his countenance and send him away.
21 His sons come to honor, and (O)he does not know it;
They are brought low, and he does not perceive it.
22 But his flesh will be in pain over it,
And his soul will mourn over it.”

Job 14
New International Version
14 “Mortals, born of woman,(A)
are of few days(B) and full of trouble.(C)
2 They spring up like flowers(D) and wither away;(E)
like fleeting shadows,(F) they do not endure.(G)
3 Do you fix your eye on them?(H)
Will you bring them[a] before you for judgment?(I)
4 Who can bring what is pure(J) from the impure?(K)
No one!(L)
5 A person’s days are determined;(M)
you have decreed the number of his months(N)
and have set limits he cannot exceed.(O)
6 So look away from him and let him alone,(P)
till he has put in his time like a hired laborer.(Q)
7 “At least there is hope for a tree:(R)
If it is cut down, it will sprout again,
and its new shoots(S) will not fail.(T)
8 Its roots may grow old in the ground
and its stump(U) die in the soil,
9 yet at the scent of water(V) it will bud
and put forth shoots like a plant.(W)
10 But a man dies and is laid low;(X)
he breathes his last and is no more.(Y)
11 As the water of a lake dries up
or a riverbed becomes parched and dry,(Z)
12 so he lies down and does not rise;(AA)
till the heavens are no more,(AB) people will not awake
or be roused from their sleep.(AC)
13 “If only you would hide me in the grave(AD)
and conceal me till your anger has passed!(AE)
If only you would set me a time
and then remember(AF) me!(AG)
14 If someone dies, will they live again?
All the days of my hard service(AH)
I will wait for my renewal[b](AI) to come.
15 You will call and I will answer you;(AJ)
you will long for the creature your hands have made.(AK)
16 Surely then you will count my steps(AL)
but not keep track of my sin.(AM)
17 My offenses will be sealed(AN) up in a bag;(AO)
you will cover over my sin.(AP)
18 “But as a mountain erodes and crumbles(AQ)
and as a rock is moved from its place,(AR)
19 as water wears away stones
and torrents(AS) wash away the soil,(AT)
so you destroy a person’s hope.(AU)
20 You overpower them once for all, and they are gone;(AV)
you change their countenance and send them away.(AW)
21 If their children are honored, they do not know it;
if their offspring are brought low, they do not see it.(AX)
22 They feel but the pain of their own bodies(AY)
and mourn only for themselves.(AZ)”
Job 14
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Job 14
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
14 “Mubo rag kinabuhi ang tawo ug puno kini sa kalisod. 2 Sama kini sa bulak nga mobukhad ug malaya ra dayon; sama sa anino nga dali rang mahanaw. 3 Nan, nganong ginabantayan mo man gayod ang tawo, Ginoo? Dad-on mo ba siya[a] sa imong atubangan aron hukman? 4 May tawo bang makakinabuhi nga hinlo gayod? Wala! Kay ang tanan, natawo nga mahugaw. 5 Gitakda mo na kon unsa kataas ang kinabuhi sa tawo. Ug dili siya makalapas sa panahon nga gitagal mo kaniya. 6 Busa ayaw na lang lisod-lisora ang tawo. Pasagdi na lang siya aron makapahulay sama sa usa ka trabahante inigkahuman niya sa iyang buluhaton.
7 “Kon putlon ang usa ka kahoy, may purohan pa nga manalingsing kini ug mananga pag-usab. 8 Bisag dugay na ang gamot niini diha sa yuta ug nadunot na ang tuod, 9 kon matubigan, manalingsing pa kini sama sa usa ka bag-o nga tanom. 10 Apan kon ang tawo mamatay, mawala na ang tanan niyang kusog. Pagkabugto sa iyang gininhawa, mao na kana ang iyang kataposan. 11 Sama sa paghunas sa dagat ug paghubas sa suba, 12 ang tawo mamatay, ug dili na mobangon o makamata pa sa iyang pagkatulog hangtod mahanaw ang kalangitan.
13 “Ginoo, hinaut unta nga tagoan mo na lang ako sa dapit sa mga patay hangtod nga mawala ang imong kasuko, ug magtakda ka ug panahon nga hinumdoman mo ako. 14 Kon mamatay ang tawo mabuhi pa ba siya pag-usab? Kon ingon niana, agwantahon ko ang tibuok nga panahon sa akong pag-antos hangtod moabot ang panahon nga matapos kini. 15 Sa panahon nga manawag ka kanako, Ginoo, motubag ako. Handomon mo ako nga imong binuhat. 16 Nianang higayona bantayan mo ang akong mga binuhatan, apan dili mo na hinumdoman pa ang akong sala. 17 Sama ra nga isulod mo kini sa buyot aron matago ug dili mo na makita pa. 18 Apan maingon nga mangatumpag ang mga bukid ug mangahulog ang mga bato, 19 ug maingon usab nga mahilis ang mga bato sa sigeng pag-ilig sa tubig ug makabkab ang yuta tungod sa makusog nga ulan, ginaguba mo ang paglaom sa tawo. 20 Pildihon mo ang tawo kanunay ug mamatay siya, ug usbon mo ang iyang hitsura kon motaliwan na siya. 21 Dili na siya masayod kon gipasidunggan ba o gipakaubos ang iyang mga anak. 22 Ang iya lang mabati mao ang iyang kaugalingong kasakit ug kasubo.”
