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.”
Job 7
King James Version
7 Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?
2 As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:
3 So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
4 When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.
5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.
6 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.
7 O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.
8 The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.
9 As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.
10 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.
11 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12 Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?
13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaints;
14 Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:
15 So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life.
16 I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.
17 What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?
18 And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?
19 How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
20 I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?
21 And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
Job 7
New King James Version
Job: My Suffering Is Comfortless
7 “Is there not (A)a time of hard service for man on earth?
Are not his days also like the days of a hired man?
2 Like a servant who [a]earnestly desires the shade,
And like a hired man who eagerly looks for his wages,
3 So I have been allotted (B)months of futility,
And wearisome nights have been appointed to me.
4 (C)When I lie down, I say, ‘When shall I arise,
And the night be ended?’
For I have had my fill of tossing till dawn.
5 My flesh is (D)caked with worms and dust,
My skin is cracked and breaks out afresh.
6 “My(E) days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,
And are spent without hope.
7 Oh, remember that (F)my life is a breath!
My eye will never again see good.
8 (G)The eye of him who sees me will see me no more;
While your eyes are upon me, I shall no longer be.
9 As the cloud disappears and vanishes away,
So (H)he who goes down to the grave does not come up.
10 He shall never return to his house,
(I)Nor shall his place know him anymore.
11 “Therefore I will (J)not restrain my mouth;
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;
I will (K)complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12 Am I a sea, or a sea serpent,
That You set a guard over me?
13 (L)When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me,
My couch will ease my complaint,’
14 Then You scare me with dreams
And terrify me with visions,
15 So that my soul chooses strangling
And death rather than [b]my body.
16 (M)I loathe my life;
I would not live forever.
(N)Let me alone,
For (O)my days are but [c]a breath.
17 “What(P) is man, that You should exalt him,
That You should set Your heart on him,
18 That You should [d]visit him every morning,
And test him every moment?
19 How long?
Will You not look away from me,
And let me alone till I swallow my saliva?
20 Have I sinned?
What have I done to You, (Q)O watcher of men?
Why (R)have You set me as Your target,
So that I am a burden [e]to myself?
21 Why then do You not pardon my transgression,
And take away my iniquity?
For now I will lie down in the dust,
And You will seek me diligently,
But I will no longer be.”
