4 G3754 For G2588 [²their heart G1473 G2928 ¹you hid] G575 from G5428 intellect; G1223 on account of G3778 this, G3766.2 in no way G5312 shall you exalt them . G1473

5 G3588 G3310 [³in portion G312 ¹He shall announce G2549 ²evils]; G3788 and eyes G1161 G1909 upon G5207 sons G5080 were melted away.

6 G5087 But you appointed G1161 G1473 me G2362.2 for a common topic G1722 among G1484 the nations, G1071 [³as laughter G1161 ¹and G1473 ⁴for them G576 ²I resulted].

13 G1437 For if G1063 G5278 I remain, G86 Hades G1473 is my G3588 G3624 house; G1722 and in G1161 G1105 dimness G4766 I will make G1473 my G3588 G4765.7 strewn bed.

3 H7760 [H8798] Lay down H6148 [H8798] now, put me in a surety H8628 [H8735] with thee; who is he that will strike H3027 hands with me?

4 H6845 [H8804] For thou hast hid H3820 their heart H7922 from understanding: H7311 [H8787] therefore shalt thou not exalt them.

5 H5046 [H8686] He that speaketh H2506 flattery H7453 to his friends, H5869 even the eyes H1121 of his sons H3615 [H8799] shall fail.

12 H7760 [H8799] They change H3915 the night H3117 into day: H216 the light H7138 is short H6440 because H2822 of darkness.

13 H6960 [H8762] If I wait, H7585 the grave H1004 is my house: H7502 [H8765] I have made H3326 my bed H2822 in the darkness.

14 H7121 [H8804] I have said H7845 to the pit, H1 Thou art my father: H7415 to the worm, H517 Thou art my mother, H269 and my sister.

15 H645 And where is now H8615 my hope? H8615 as for my hope, H7789 [H8799] who shall see it?

16 H3381 [H8799] They shall go down H905 to the bars H7585 of the grave, H5183 when our rest H3162 together H6083 is in the dust.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ My spirit is broken, my days are cut short, the grave is ready for me. ² Yet truly those that mock are with me, and on their offendings must my eye rest. ³ And thou, Creator! attend, I pray thee, be my surety with thyself: who else is there that would strike hands with me? ⁴ For thou hast concealed their heart against intelligence: therefore art thou not exalted through them. ⁵ Every one of them speaketh deceptively to his friends: may also the eyes of his children fail. ⁶ And he hath placed me here as a by-word unto nations; and I become openly as a place of abomination. ⁷ Therefore is my eye dim from vexation, and my limbs are all of them like a shadow. ⁸ Upright men must be astonished at this, and the innocent must arouse himself against the hypocrite. ⁹ Yet will the righteous hold firmly on to his way; and he that is clean of hands will acquire additional strength. ¹⁰ But all of you, do only return, and come but to me: and yet I shall not find among you one wise man. ¹¹ My days are past, my resolves are broken off, even the thoughts—the possessions of my heart. ¹² These would change the night into day, the light as near in the presence of darkness.— ¹³ When I hope for the nether world as my house; in the darkness have I spread my couch; ¹⁴ When I call to corruption, Thou art my father: Thou art my mother, and my sister, to the worms. ¹⁵ Ay, where is then my hope? as for my hope, who will see it fulfilled? ¹⁶ Let then my limbs sink down to the nether world: truly in the dust alone there is rest for all.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ My spirit hath been destroyed, My days extinguished—graves are for me. ² If not—mockeries are with me. And in their provocations mine eye lodgeth. ³ Place, I pray Thee, my pledge with Thee; Who is he that striketh hand with me? ⁴ For their heart Thou hast hidden From understanding, Therefore Thou dost not exalt them. ⁵ For a portion he sheweth friendship, And the eyes of his sons are consumed. ⁶ And he set me up for a proverb of the peoples, And a wonder before them I am. ⁷ And dim from sorrow is mine eye, And my members as a shadow all of them. ⁸ Astonished are the upright at this, And the innocent against the profane Stirreth himself up. ⁹ And the righteous layeth hold on his way, And the clean of hands addeth strength, And—dumb are they all.
¹⁰ Return, and come in, I pray you, And I find not among you a wise man. ¹¹ My days have passed by, My devices have been broken off, The possessions of my heart! ¹² Night for day they appoint, Light is near because of darkness. ¹³ If I wait—Sheol is my house, In darkness I have spread out my couch. ¹⁴ To corruption I have called: —`Thou art my father.' `My mother' and `my sister' —to the worm. ¹⁵ And where is now my hope?

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ Je péris emporté par une tempête; j’aspire à la tombe et je n’y puis arriver. ² Je péris dans mon affliction; et vous, Seigneur, qu’avez-vous fait? ³ Des étrangers m’ont enlevé mes richesses: Quel est cet homme? qu’il soit enchaîné par ma main. ⁴ Vous avez rendu leur cœur inaccessible à la raison; gardez-vous de les glorifier. ⁵ Cet homme n’a rien à dire à ses amis que des méchancetés; et ses yeux ont fondu en larmes à cause de ses fils. ⁶ O mon Dieu, vous avez fait de moi la fable des nations; je suis devenu pour elles un objet de risée. ⁷ La colère alors a séché mes pleurs, et j’ai été vivement assiégé de toutes parts. ⁸ Les gens sincères à cause de moi sont saisis de surprise, ils s’écrient: Puisse le juste s’élever au-dessus du méchant! ⁹ Que le fidèle persévère dans sa voie, que l’homme dont les mains sont pures prenne courage. ¹⁰ ¶ Et vous tous approchez, écoutez-moi, je ne trouver point la vérité en vous. ¹¹ J’ai passé mes jours à murmurer, et toutes les parties de mon cœur ont été déchirées. ¹² J’ai confondu la nuit avec le jour; la lumière avec l’obscurité. ¹³ Tout ce que j’ai à attendre, c’est la terre pour demeure; ma couche est déjà étendue dans les ténèbres. ¹⁴ J’ai surnommé la mort mon père; ma mère et ma sœur, c’est la pourriture. ¹⁵ Où est donc mon espoir? quels sont les biens que je verrai? ¹⁶ Est-ce que mon espoir et mes biens descendront avec moi sous la terre? Est-ce que nous serons placés ensemble dans le sépulcre?

DarbyFR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹
Mon souffle est corrompu, mes jours s'éteignent: pour moi sont les sépulcres! ² Les moqueurs ne sont-ils pas autour de moi, et mes yeux ne demeurent-ils pas au milieu de leurs insultes? ³ Dépose, je te prie, un gage; cautionne-moi auprès de toi-même: qui donc frappera dans ma main? ⁴ Car tu as fermé leur coeur à l'intelligence; c'est pourquoi tu ne les élèveras pas. ⁵ Celui qui trahit ses amis pour qu'ils soient pillés, les yeux de ses fils seront consumés. ⁶ Et il a fait de moi un proverbe des peuples, et je suis devenu un homme auquel on crache au visage. ⁷ Mon oeil est terni par le chagrin, et mes membres sont tous comme une ombre. ⁸ Les hommes droits en seront étonnés, et l'innocent s'élèvera contre l'impie; ⁹ Mais le juste tiendra ferme dans sa voie, et celui qui a les mains pures croîtra en force. ¹⁰
Mais quant à vous tous, revenez encore, je vous prie; mais je ne trouverai pas un sage parmi vous. ¹¹ Mes jours sont passés, mes desseins sont frustrés, -les plans chéris de mon coeur. ¹² Ils font de la nuit le jour, la lumière proche en présence des ténèbres; ¹³ Si j'espère, le shéol est ma maison, j'étends mon lit dans les ténèbres; ¹⁴ Je crie à la fosse: Tu es mon père! aux vers: Ma mère et ma soeur! ¹⁵ Où donc est mon espoir? Et mon espoir, qui le verra? ¹⁶ Il descendra vers les barres du shéol, lorsque ensemble nous aurons du repos dans la poussière.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Mes esprits se dissipent, mes jours vont être éteints, le sépulcre m'attend. ² Certes il n'y a que des moqueurs auprès de moi, et mon oeil veille toute la nuit dans les chagrins qu'ils me font. ³ Donne-moi, je te prie, donne-moi une caution auprès de toi; mais qui est-ce qui me touchera dans la main ? ⁴ Car tu as caché à leur coeur l'intelligence, c'est pourquoi tu ne les élèveras point. ⁵ Et les yeux même des enfants de celui qui parle avec flatterie à ses intimes amis, seront consumés. ⁶ Il m'a mis pour être la fable des peuples, et je suis comme un tambour devant eux. ⁷ Mon oeil est terni de dépit, et tous les membres de mon corps sont comme une ombre. ⁸ Les hommes droits seront étonnés de ceci, et l'innocence se réveillera contre l'hypocrite. ⁹ Toutefois le juste se tiendra ferme dans sa voie, et celui qui a les mains nettes, se renforcera. ¹⁰ Retournez donc vous tous, et revenez, je vous prie; car je ne trouve point de sage entre vous. ¹¹ Mes jours sont passés, mes desseins sont rompus, et les pensées de mon coeur sont dissipées. ¹² On me change la nuit en jour, et on fait que la lumière se trouve proche des ténèbres. ¹³ Certes je n'ai plus à attendre que le sépulcre, qui va être ma maison; j'ai dressé mon lit dans les ténèbres. ¹⁴ J'ai crié à la fosse : tu es mon père; et aux vers : vous êtes ma mère et ma soeur. ¹⁵ Et où seront les choses que j'ai attendues, et qui est-ce qui verra ces choses qui ont été le sujet de mon attente ? ¹⁶ Elles descendront au fond du sépulcre; certes elles reposeront ensemble avec moi dans la poussière.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Mon souffle se perd, Mes jours s'éteignent, Le sépulcre m'attend. ² Je suis environné de moqueurs, Et mon oeil doit contempler leurs insultes. ³ Sois auprès de toi-même ma caution; Autrement, qui répondrait pour moi? ⁴ Car tu as fermé leur coeur à l'intelligence; Aussi ne les laisseras-tu pas triompher. ⁵ On invite ses amis au partage du butin, Et l'on a des enfants dont les yeux se consument. ⁶ Il m'a rendu la fable des peuples, Et ma personne est un objet de mépris. ⁷ Mon oeil est obscurci par la douleur; Tous mes membres sont comme une ombre. ⁸ Les hommes droits en sont stupéfaits, Et l'innocent se soulève contre l'impie. ⁹ Le juste néanmoins demeure ferme dans sa voie, Celui qui a les mains pures se fortifie de plus en plus. ¹⁰ Mais vous tous, revenez à vos mêmes discours, Et je ne trouverai pas un sage parmi vous. ¹¹ Quoi! mes jours sont passés, mes projets sont anéantis, Les projets qui remplissaient mon coeur... ¹² Et ils prétendent que la nuit c'est le jour, Que la lumière est proche quand les ténèbres sont là! ¹³ C'est le séjour des morts que j'attends pour demeure, C'est dans les ténèbres que je dresserai ma couche; ¹⁴ Je crie à la fosse: Tu es mon père! Et aux vers: Vous êtes ma mère et ma soeur! ¹⁵ Mon espérance, où donc est-elle? Mon espérance, qui peut la voir? ¹⁶ Elle descendra vers les portes du séjour des morts, Quand nous irons ensemble reposer dans la poussière.

Syri im ndalet mbi fyerjet e tyre. ³ Më jep, pra, një peng pranë teje, përndryshe kush do të më shtrëngonte dorën si garant? ⁴ Nga që i ke penguar mendjet e tyre të kuptojnë, prandaj nuk do t'i bësh të triumfojnë. ⁵ Kush i tradhton miqtë deri sa t'i grabisë, ka për t'i parë më pak sytë e fëmijëve të tij. ⁶ Por unë prej tij jam bërë gazi i popujve dhe jam katandisur në një njeri të cilin e pështyjnë në fytyrë. ⁷ Syri më erret për shkak të dhembjes dhe tërë gjymtyrët e mia nuk janë veçse hije. ⁸ Njerëzit e drejtë habiten nga kjo, dhe i pafajmi ngrihet kundër të pabesit. ⁹ Megjithatë i drejti mbetet i lidhur fort me rrugën e tij, dhe ai që i ka duart e pastra fortësohet gjithnjë e më tepër. ¹⁰ Sa për ju të gjithë, kthehuni, ejani, pra, sepse midis jush nuk po gjej asnjë njeri të urtë. ¹¹ Ditët e mia shkuan dhe planet e mia u prishën, pikërisht ato dëshira që unë ushqeja në zemër. ¹² Ata e ndërrojnë natën në ditë, "drita është afër", thonë, për shkak të errësirës. ¹³ Në rast se e pres Sheolin si shtëpinë time në rast se e shtrij shtrojen time në terr, ¹⁴ në rast se i them vendvarrit: "Ti je ati im", dhe krimbave: "Jeni nëna ime dhe motra ime", ¹⁵ ku është, pra, shpresa ime? Kush mund të dallojë ndonjë shpresë për mua? ¹⁶ A do të zbres vallë në portat e Sheolit, kur do të gjejmë bashkë prehje në pluhur?".

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Дыхание мое ослабело; дни мои угасают; гробы предо мною. ² Если бы не насмешки их, то и среди споров их око мое пребывало бы спокойно. ³ Заступись, поручись Сам за меня пред Собою! иначе кто поручится за меня? ⁴ Ибо Ты закрыл сердце их от разумения, и потому не дашь восторжествовать им . ⁵ Кто обрекает друзей своих в добычу, у детей того глаза истают. ⁶ Он поставил меня притчею для народа и посмешищем для него. ⁷ Помутилось от горести око мое, и все члены мои, как тень. ⁸ Изумятся о сем праведные, и невинный вознегодует на лицемера. ⁹ Но праведник будет крепко держаться пути своего, и чистый руками будет больше и больше утверждаться. ¹⁰ Выслушайте, все вы, и подойдите; не найду я мудрого между вами. ¹¹ Дни мои прошли; думы мои – достояние сердца моего – разбиты. ¹² А они ночь хотят превратить в день, свет приблизить к лицу тьмы. ¹³ Если бы я и ожидать стал, то преисподняя – дом мой; во тьме постелю я постель мою; ¹⁴ гробу скажу: ты отец мой, червю: ты мать моя и сестра моя. ¹⁵ Где же после этого надежда моя? и ожидаемое мною кто увидит? ¹⁶ В преисподнюю сойдет она и будет покоиться со мною в прахе.

Arabic⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ روحي تلفت. ايامي انطفأت. انما القبور لي ² لولا المخاتلون عندي وعيني تبيت على مشاجراتهم. ³ كن ضامني عند نفسك. من هو الذي يصفق يدي. ⁴ لانك منعت قلبهم عن الفطنة. لاجل ذلك لا ترفعهم. ⁵ الذي يسلم الاصحاب للسلب تتلف عيون بنيه. ⁶ اوقفني مثلا للشعوب وصرت للبصق في الوجه. ⁷ كلت عيني من الحزن واعضائي كلها كالظل. ⁸ يتعجب المستقيمون من هذا والبريء ينتهض على الفاجر. ⁹ اما الصدّيق فيستمسك بطريقه والطاهر اليدين يزداد قوة ¹⁰ ولكن ارجعوا كلكم وتعالوا فلا اجد فيكم حكيما. ¹¹ ايامي قد عبرت. مقاصدي إرث قلبي قد انتزعت. ¹² يجعلون الليل نهارا نورا قريبا للظلمة. ¹³ اذا رجوت الهاوية بيتا لي وفي الظلام مهدت فراشي ¹⁴ وقلت للقبر انت ابي وللدود انت امي واختي ¹⁵ فاين اذا آمالي. آمالي. من يعاينها. ¹⁶ تهبط الى مغاليق الهاوية اذ ترتاح معا في التراب

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Духът ми съкрушен е, гаснат дните ми, за мене вече гробища остават. ² Присмиватели около мен не са ли, не почива ли окото ми на техните обиди? ³ Определи ми сега поръчител пред Себе Си; кой друг би ми подал ръка? ⁴ Защото си скрил сърцето им от разум — затова и няма да ги възвисиш. ⁵ Който приятели предава на грабеж, очите на децата му ще чезнат. ⁶ Той ме е поставил за поговорка на хората и аз станах за заплюване в лицето. ⁷ Окото ми се помрачи от скръб и всичките ми части станаха като сянка. ⁸ Правдивите ще се ужасят на това и невинният ще се възмущава против лицемера. ⁹ А праведният ще се държи за пътя си и който е с чисти ръце, ще става все по-силен. ¹⁰ Но вие всички, върнете се и елате; и един мъдър няма да намеря между вас. ¹¹ Дните ми преминаха; пресякоха се намеренията ми, желанията на сърцето ми. ¹² Нощта направиха на ден и светлината близо е при мрака. ¹³ Ако чакам, жилището ми Шеол е, леглото си постлах във мрака. ¹⁴ Към гроба викам: Ти си ми баща! — към червея: Ти — майка ми, сестра ми! ¹⁵ Къде тогава е надеждата ми? Надеждата ми кой ще види? ¹⁶ Тя ще слезе в самотата на Шеол, когато заедно в пръстта покой намерим.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Daha mi nestaje, gasnu moji dani i za mene već se skupljaju grobari. ² Rugači su evo mene dohvatili, od uvreda oka sklopiti ne mogu. ³ Stoga me zaštiti i budi mi jamcem kad mi nitko u dlan neće da udari. ⁴ Jer, srca si njina lišio razuma i dopustiti im nećeš da opstanu. ⁵ K'o taj što imanje dijeli drugovima, a djeci njegovoj dotle oči gasnu, ⁶ narodima svim sam na ruglo postao, onaj kom u lice svatko pljunut' može. ⁷ Od tuge vid mi se muti u očima, poput sjene moji udovi postaju. ⁸ Začudit će se zbog toga pravednici, na bezbožnika će planuti čestiti; ⁹ neporočni će na svom ustrajat' putu, čovjek čistih ruku ojačat će još više. ¹⁰ Hajde, svi vi, nećete li opet počet', tÓa među vama ja mudra ne nalazim! ¹¹ Minuli su dani, propale zamisli, želje srca moga izjalovile se. ¹² 'U noći najcrnjoj, dan se približava; blizu je već svjetlo što tminu izgoni.' ¹³ A meni je nada otići u Šeol i prostrijeti sebi ležaj u mrklini. ¹⁴ Dovikujem grobu: 'Oče moj rođeni!' a crve pozdravljam: 'Mati moja, sestro!' ¹⁵ Ali gdje za mene ima jošte nade? Sreću moju tko će ikada vidjeti? ¹⁶ Hoće li u Šeol ona sa mnom sići da u prahu zajedno otpočinemo?"

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Dýchání mé ruší se, dnové moji hynou, hrobu blízký jsem. ² Jistě posměvači jsou u mne, a pro jejich mne kormoucení nepřichází ani sen na oči mé. ³ Postav mi, prosím, rukojmě za sebe; kdo jest ten, nechť mi na to ruky podá. ⁴ Nebo srdce jejich přikryl jsi, aby nerozuměli, a protož jich nepovýšíš. ⁵ Kdož pochlebuje bližním, oči synů jeho zhynou. ⁶ Jistě vystavil mne za přísloví lidem, a za divadlo všechněm, ⁷ Tak že pro žalost pošly oči mé, a oudové moji všickni stínu jsou podobni. ⁸ Užasnouť se nad tím upřímí, a však nevinný proti pokrytci vždy se zsilovati bude. ⁹ Přídržeti se bude, pravím, spravedlivý cesty své, a ten, jenž jest čistých rukou, posilní se více. ¹⁰ Tolikéž i vy všickni obraťte se, a poďte, prosím; neboť nenacházím mezi vámi moudrého. ¹¹ Dnové moji pomíjejí, myšlení má mizejí, přemyšlování, pravím, srdce mého. ¹² Noc mi obracejí v den, a světla denního ukracují pro přítomnost temností. ¹³ Abych pak čeho i očekával, hrob bude dům můj, ve tmě usteli ložce své. ¹⁴ Jámu nazovu otcem svým, matkou pak a sestrou svou červy. ¹⁵ Kdež jest tedy očekávání mé? A kdo to, čím bych se troštoval, spatří? ¹⁶ Do skrýší hrobu sstoupí, poněvadž jest všechněm v prachu země odpočívati.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Min Aand er brudt, mine Dage ere udslukkede, Gravene vente mig. ² Er der ikke Spot omkring mig, og maa mit Øje ikke dvæle ved deres Genstridighed? ³ Kære, stil mig Borgen hos dig, lov for mig; hvo er der ellers, der giver mig Haandslag? ⁴ Thi du har lukket deres Hjerte for Indsigt, derfor skal du ikke ophøje dem. ⁵ Man byder Venner ud til Bytte, og deres Børns Øjne hentæres. ⁶ Men han har stillet mig til at være et Ordsprog iblandt Folkene, og jeg er bleven som den, man spytter i Ansigtet. ⁷ Derfor er mit Øje mørkt af Harm, og alle mine Lemmer ere som en Skygge. ⁸ For sligt maa de oprigtige forskrækkes, og den uskyldige harmes over den vanhellige. ⁹ Dog holder den retfærdige fast ved sin Vej, og den, som har rene Hænder, faar mere Styrke. ¹⁰ Men I, kommer kun alle frem igen, og jeg vil dog ikke finde en viis iblandt eder. ¹¹ Mine Dage ere gangne forbi; oprykkede ere mine Tanker, hvilke mit Hjerte besad. ¹² De gøre Nat til Dag; og Lyset skal være nær, naar Mørket kommer. ¹³ Dersom jeg end forventer noget, da er det Graven som min Bolig; jeg har redet mit Leje i Mørket. ¹⁴ Jeg har raabt til Graven: Du er min Fader! til Ormen: Min Moder og min Søster! ¹⁵ Hvor skulde da min Forventelse være? ja min Forventelse - hvo skuer den? ¹⁶ Den skal nedfare til Gravens Porte, naar der tilmed bliver Ro i Støvet.

CUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 我的心靈消耗，我的日子滅盡；墳墓為我預備好了。 ² 真有戲笑我的在我這裡，我眼常見他們惹動我。 ³ 願主拿憑據給我，自己為我作保。在你以外誰肯與我擊掌呢？ ⁴ 因你使他們心不明理，所以你必不高舉他們。 ⁵ 控告他的朋友、以朋友為可搶奪的，連他兒女的眼睛也要失明。 ⁶ 神使我作了民中的笑談；他們也吐唾沫在我臉上。 ⁷ 我的眼睛因憂愁昏花；我的百體好像影兒。 ⁸ 正直人因此必驚奇；無辜的人要興起攻擊不敬虔之輩。 ⁹ 然而，義人要持守所行的道；手潔的人要力上加力。 ¹⁰ 至於你們眾人，可以再來辯論罷！你們中間，我找不著一個智慧人。 ¹¹ 我的日子已經過了；我的謀算、我心所想望的已經斷絕。 ¹² 他們以黑夜為白晝，說：亮光近乎黑暗。 ¹³ 我若盼望陰間為我的房屋，若下榻在黑暗中， ¹⁴ 若對朽壞說：你是我的父；對蟲說：你是我的母親姊妹； ¹⁵ 這樣，我的指望在那裡呢？我所指望的誰能看見呢？ ¹⁶ 等到安息在塵土中，這指望必下到陰間的門閂那裡了。

Namun aku tahu dalam hatiku bahwa tetap gelaplah keadaanku. ¹³ Hanya dunia mautlah yang kuharapkan, di sanalah aku akan tidur dalam kegelapan. ¹⁴ Kuburku kunamakan "Ayahku", dan cacing-cacing pemakan tubuhku kusebut "Ibu" dan "Saudara perempuanku". ¹⁵ Di manakah harapan bagiku; siapa melihat adanya bahagia untukku? ¹⁶ Apabila aku turun ke dunia orang mati, aku tidak mempunyai harapan lagi."

E l’occhio mio non dev’egli sopportare le loro provocazioni? ³ Deh! metti pegno, dammi sicurtà per piatir teco; Chi sarà colui che mi toccherà nella mano? ⁴ Perciocchè, quant’è a costoro, tu hai nascosto il senno al cuor loro, E però tu non li innalzerai. ⁵ Di chi parla fra gli amici per lusinga Anche gli occhi de’ figliuoli saranno consumati. ⁶ Egli mi ha posto per servir di proverbio a’ popoli, Ed io sono pubblicamente menato attorno in sul tamburo. ⁷ E l’occhio mio è tutto raggrinzato di sdegno, E tutte le mie membra son simili ad un’ombra. ⁸ Gli uomini diritti stupiranno di questo, E l’innocente se ne commoverà per cagion dell’ipocrita. ⁹ Ma pure il giusto si atterrà alla sua via, E colui ch’è puro di mani vie più si raffermerà. ¹⁰ Or ravvedetevi pure voi tutti, e poi venite; Non troverò io alcun savio fra voi? ¹¹ I miei giorni son passati via; I miei disegni, i proponimenti del mio cuore son rotti. ¹² La notte mi è cangiata in giorno, La luce è di presso seguita dalle tenebre. ¹³ Se io mi trattengo di speranza, il sepolcro sarà la mia casa, Io farò il mio letto nelle tenebre. ¹⁴ Già ho gridato alla fossa: Tu sei mio padre; Ed a’ vermini: Voi siete la madre, e la sorella mia. ¹⁵ Ed ove è ora la mia speranza? Sì, la mia speranza? chi la potrà vedere? ¹⁶ Le mie speranze scenderanno nel fondo del sepolcro; Conciossiachè il riposo di tutti ugualmente sia nella polvere.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Il mio soffio vitale si spenge, i miei giorni si estinguono, il sepolcro m’aspetta! ² Sono attorniato di schernitori e non posso chiuder occhio per via delle lor parole amare. ³ O Dio, da’ un pegno, sii tu il mio mallevadore presso di te; se no, chi metterà la sua nella mia mano? ⁴ Poiché tu hai chiuso il cuor di costoro alla ragione, e però non li farai trionfare. ⁵ Chi denunzia un amico sì che diventi preda altrui, vedrà venir meno gli occhi de’ suoi figli. ⁶ Egli m’ha reso la favola dei popoli, e son divenuto un essere a cui si sputa in faccia. ⁷ L’occhio mio si oscura pel dolore, tutte le mie membra non son più che un’ombra. ⁸ Gli uomini retti ne son colpiti di stupore, e l’innocente insorge contro l’empio; ⁹ ma il giusto si attiene saldo alla sua via, e chi ha le mani pure viepiù si fortifica. ¹⁰ Quanto a voi tutti, tornate pure, fatevi avanti, ma fra voi non troverò alcun savio. ¹¹ I miei giorni passano, i miei disegni, i disegni cari al mio cuore, sono distrutti, ¹² e costoro pretendon che la notte sia giorno, che la luce sia vicina, quando tutto è buio! ¹³ Se aspetto come casa mia il soggiorno de’ morti, se già mi son fatto il letto nelle tenebre, ¹⁴ se ormai dico al sepolcro "tu sei mio padre" e ai vermi: "siete mia madre e mia sorella", ¹⁵ dov’è dunque la mia speranza? questa speranza mia chi la può scorgere? ¹⁶ Essa scenderà alle porte del soggiorno de’ morti, quando nella polvere troverem riposo assieme".

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ “Mano kvėpavimas nusilpo, dienos trumpėja, kapai paruošti man. ² Mane apspito išjuokėjai, mano akys pavargo bežiūrėdamos į juos. ³ Tu pats laiduok už mane, nes kas kitas paduos man ranką? ⁴ Tu paslėpei supratimą nuo jų širdžių, todėl jų neišaukštinsi. ⁵ Kas pataikauja savo draugams, to vaikai nesidžiaugs laimikiu. ⁶ Jis padarė mane priežodžiu žmonėms, visi spjaudo man į veidą. ⁷ Mano akys aptemo nuo sielvarto, mano kūnas kaip šešėlis. ⁸ Teisieji pasibaisės tuo, o nekaltieji pakils prieš veidmainius. ⁹ Teisusis laikysis savo kelio, o tas, kurio rankos švarios, stiprės ir stiprės. ¹⁰ Ateikite jūs visi dar kartą, nes tarp jūsų nerandu nė vieno išmintingo. ¹¹ Mano dienos praėjo; sumanymai ir mano širdies siekiai sudužo. ¹² Jie naktį padarė diena, tačiau trūksta šviesos tamsoje. ¹³ Ko gi aš dar laukiu?

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Dech mój skażony jest; dni moje giną; groby mię czekają. ² Zaiste naśmiewcy są przy mnie, a w ich draźnieniu mieszka oko moje. ³ Staw mi, proszę, rękojmię za się. Któż jest ten? Niech mi na to da rękę. ⁴ Boś serce ich ukrył przed wyrozumieniem; przetoż ich nie wywyższysz. ⁵ Kto pochlebia przyjaciołom, oczy synów jego ustaną. ⁶ Wystawił mię zaiste na przypowieść ludziom, i jako śmiechowisko przed nimi. ⁷ Zaćmione jest dla żałości oko moje, a wszystkie myśli moje są jako cień. ⁸ Zdumieją się szczerzy nad tem; a niewinny przeciwko obłudnikowi powstanie. ⁹ Będzie się trzymał sprawiedliwy drogi swojej; a kto ma czyste ręce, przyczyni mocy. ¹⁰ Wy tedy wszyscy nawróćcie się, a pójdźcie, proszę; bo nie znajduję między wami mądrego. ¹¹ Dni moje przeminęły; myśli moje rozerwane są, to jest, zamysły serca mego. ¹² Noc mi się w dzień obraca; a światłość skraca się dla ciemości. ¹³ Jeźlibym czego oczekiwał, grób będzie domem moim, a w ciemnościach uścielę łoże moje. ¹⁴ Do dołu rzekę: Ojcem moim jesteś; a do robaków: Wy jesteście matką moją, i siostrą moją. ¹⁵ Bo gdzież teraz jest nadzieja moja? a oczekiwanie moje któż ogląda? ¹⁶ W głębię grobu zstąpię, ponieważ w prochu spólny odpoczynek wszystkich.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ O meu espírito está quebrantado, os meus dias se extinguem, a sepultura me está preparada! ² Deveras estou cercado de zombadores, e os meus olhos contemplam a sua provocação! ³ Dá-me, peço-te, um penhor, e sê o meu fiador para contigo; quem mais há que me dê a mão? ⁴ Porque aos seus corações encobriste o entendimento, pelo que não os exaltarás. ⁵ Quem entrega os seus amigos como presa, os olhos de seus filhos desfalecerão. ⁶ Mas a mim me pôs por motejo dos povos; tornei-me como aquele em cujo rosto se cospe. ⁷ De mágoa se escureceram os meus olhos, e todos os meus membros são como a sombra. ⁸ Os rectos pasmam disso, e o inocente se levanta contra o ímpio. ⁹ Contudo o justo prossegue no seu caminho e o que tem mãos puras vai crescendo em força. ¹⁰ Mas tornai vós todos, e vinde, e sábio nenhum acharei entre vós. ¹¹ Os meus dias passaram, malograram-se os meus propósitos, as aspirações do meu coração. ¹² Trocam a noite em dia; dizem que a luz está perto das trevas. ¹³ Se eu olhar o Seol como a minha casa, se nas trevas estender a minha cama, ¹⁴ se eu clamar à cova: Tu és meu pai; e aos vermes: Vós sois minha mãe e minha irmã; ¹⁵ onde está então a minha esperança? Sim, a minha esperança, quem a poderá ver? ¹⁶ Acaso descerá comigo até os ferrolhos do Seol? Descansaremos juntos no pó?

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Min ånd* er brutt, mine dager utslukket; bare graver har jeg for mig. {* livskraft.} ² Sannelig, spott omgir mig på alle kanter, og mitt øie må dvele ved deres trettekjære ferd. ³ Så sett nu et pant, gå i borgen for mig hos dig selv!

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Мій дух заламавсь, мої дні погасають, зостались мені самі гроби!... ² Дійсно, насмішки зо мною, й моє око в розгірченні їхнім ночує... ³ Поклади, дай заставу за мене Ти Сам, хто ж то той, що умову зо мною заб'є по руках? ⁴ Бо від розуміння закрив Ти їх серце тому не звеличуєш їх. ⁵ Він призначує ближніх на поділ, а очі синів його темніють, ⁶ Він поставив мене за прислів'я в народів, і став я таким, на якого плюють... ⁷ З безталання потемніло око моє, а всі члени мої як та тінь... ⁸ Праведники остовпіють на це, і невинний встає на безбожного. ⁹ І праведний буде держатись дороги своєї, а хто чисторукий побільшиться в силі. ¹⁰ Але всі ви повернетеся, і приходьте, та я не знаходжу між вами розумного... ¹¹ Мої дні проминули, порвалися думи мої, мого серця маєток, ¹² вони мені ніч обертають на день, наближують світло при темряві! ¹³ Якщо сподіваюсь, то тільки шеолу, як дому свого, в темноті постелю своє ложе... ¹⁴ До гробу я кличу: О батьку ти мій!
