  1 G4220 In either way G3780 [2not G3986.2 9a trial G1510.2.3 1is G3588 3the G979 4existence G444 5of man G1909 6upon G3588 7the G1093 8earth], G2532 and G5618 [2as G3407 4hireling G831.1 3 the daily G3588   G2222 1his life], G1473  
  2 G2228 or G5618 as G2324 an attendant G1165.1 in awe G3588   G2962 of his master, G1473   G2532 and G5177 attaining G4639 for shade; G2228 or G5618 as if G3411 a hireling G362 awaiting G3588   G3408 his wage? G1473  
  3 G3779 So G2504 I also G5278 waited G3376 months G2756 in vain; G3571 and nights G1161   G3601 of griefs G1325 [2given G1473 3to me G1510.2.6 1are].
  4 G1437 When G2837 I should go to bed, G3004 I say, G4219 When will it be G3588 the G2250 day? G5613 and G1161   G302 whenever G450 I rise up, G3825 again I say, G4219 When G2073 will it be evening? G4134 [3full G1161 1And G1096 2I am] G3601 of griefs, G575 from G2073 evening G2193 unto G4404 morning.
  5 G5445.4 [4is befouled G1161 1And G1473 2my G3588   G4983 3body] G1722 in G4549.1 rottenness G4663 of worms, G5080 and I melt away G1161   G1040.2 with clods G1093 of earth G575 [2of G2487.1 3pus G3587.4 1scraping].
  6 G3588 And G1161   G979 my existence G1473   G1510.2.3 is G1645 lighter than G2981 speech, G622 and has perished G1161   G1722 in G2756 vain G1680 hope.
  7 G3403 Remember G3767 then G3754 that G4151 my breath G1473   G3588   G2222 is life; G2532 and G3765 no longer G1880 shall [2return back G3788 1my eye] G1473   G1492 to behold G18 good.
  8 G3756 [4shall not look round about G4017   G3788 1 The eye G3708 2of the one seeing G1473 3me]; G3588   G3788 your eyes G1473   G1722 are on G1473 me, G2532 and G3765 I am not. G1510.2.1  
  9 G5618 I am as G3509 a cloud G599.6 being cleared away G575 from G3772 the heaven; G1437 for if G1063   G444 a man G2597 should go down G1519 into G86 Hades, G3765 no longer G3766.2 in any way G305 should he ascend;
  10 G3761 and neither G3766.2 in any way G1994 shall he return G1519 unto G3588   G2398 his own G3624 house, G3761 nor G3766.2 [3in any way G1921 1shall 4recognize G1473 5him G2089 6any more G3588   G5117 2his place]. G1473  
  11 G814.1 Nevertheless G3767 then, G3761 nor G1473 will I G5339 spare G3588   G4750 my mouth; G1473   G2980 I will speak G1722 [2in G318 3distress G1510.6 1being] G3588   G4151 of my spirit; G1473   G455 I will open G4088 the bitterness G5590 of my soul G1473   G4912 being held in.
  12 G4220 Is it that G2281 I am a sea G1510.2.1   G2228 or G1404 a dragon, G3754 that G2697.1 you delegated G1909 [2over G1473 3me G5438 1a guard]?
  13 G2036 I said G3754 that G3870 [2shall comfort G1473 3me G3588   G2825 1my bed], G1473   G399 and I shall offer G1161   G4314 to G1683 myself G2398 my own G3056 word G3588   G2845 in my bed. G1473  
  14 G1629 You frighten G1473 me G1798 with dreams, G2532 and G1722 with G3705 visions G1473 you strike terror in me. G2668.2  
  15 G525 You will dismiss G575 [2from G4151 3my spirit G1473   G3588   G5590 1my soul], G1473   G575 [3from G1161   G1161 1and G2288 4death G3588   G3747 2my bones]. G1473  
  16 G3756 [3not G1063 1For G1519 5into G3588 6the G165 7eon G2198 2I shall 4live], G2443 that G3114 I should patiently wait. G868 Depart G575 from G1473 me, G2756 [4 is empty G1063 1for G1473 2my G3588   G979 3livelihood]!
  17 G5100 For what G1063   G1510.2.3 is G444 man G3754 that G3170 you magnified G1473 him? G2228 or G3754 that G4337 you heed G3588 the G3563 mind G1519 in G1473 him?
  18 G2228 Or G1984 [2him a visit G1473   G4160 1will you make] G2193 until G4404 the morning; G2532 and G1519 [2for G372 3rest G1473 1shall you judge him]? G2919  
  19 G2193 For how long G5100   G3756 do you not allow G1439   G1473 me, G3761 nor G4290.2 let me go, G1473   G2193 until G302 whenever G2666 I should swallow down G3588   G4424.1 my spittle G1473   G1722 in G3601 grief?
  20 G1487 If G1473 I G264 sinned, G5100 how G1410 am I able G1473 [2against you G4238 1to act out], G3588 O one G1987 having knowledge of G3588 the G3563 mind G3588   G444 of men? G1302 Why did G5087 you establish G1473 me G2713.1 as your accuser, G1473   G1510.2.1 and I am G1161   G1909 [2unto G1473 3you G5413 1a load]?
  21 G2532 And G1302 why did G3756 you not appoint G4160   G3588   G458 of my lawlessness G1473   G3024 to forgetfulness, G2532 and for G2512 a cleansing G3588   G266 of my sin? G1473   G3568 But now G1161   G1519 into G1093 the earth G565 I shall go forth, G3719 [4for rising early G1161 1and G3765 3no longer G1510.2.1 2I am].

  1 H6635 Is there not an appointed time H582 to man H776 upon earth? H3117 are not his days H3117 also like the days H7916 of an hireling?
  2 H5650 As a servant H7602 [H8799] earnestly desireth H6738 the shadow, H7916 and as an hireling H6960 [H8762] looketh H6467 for the reward of his work:
  3 H5157 [H8717] So am I made to possess H3391 months H7723 of vanity, H5999 and wearisome H3915 nights H4487 [H8765] are appointed to me.
  4 H7901 [H8804] When I lie down, H559 [H8804] I say, H6965 [H8799] When shall I arise, H6153 and the night H4059 be gone? H7646 [H8804] and I am full H5076 of tossings to and fro H5399 to the dawning of the day.
  5 H1320 My flesh H3847 [H8804] is clothed H7415 with worms H1487 and clods H6083 of dust; H5785 my skin H7280 [H8804] is broken, H3988 [H8735] and become loathsome.
  6 H3117 My days H7043 [H8804] are swifter H708 than a weaver's shuttle, H3615 [H8799] and are spent H657 without H8615 hope.
  7 H2142 [H8798] O remember H2416 that my life H7307 is a spirit: H5869 my eye H7725 [H8799] shall no more H7200 [H8800] see H2896 good.
  8 H5869 The eye H7210 of him that hath seen H7789 [H8799] me shall see H5869 me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.
  9 H6051 As the cloud H3615 [H8804] is consumed H3212 [H8799] and vanisheth away: H3381 [H8802] so he that goeth down H7585 to the grave H5927 [H8799] shall come up no more.
  10 H7725 [H8799] He shall return H1004 no more to his house, H4725 neither shall his place H5234 [H8686] know him any more.
  11 H2820 [H8799] Therefore I will not restrain H6310 my mouth; H1696 [H8762] I will speak H6862 in the anguish H7307 of my spirit; H7878 [H8799] I will complain H4751 in the bitterness H5315 of my breath.
  12 H3220 Am I a sea, H8577 or a whale, H7760 [H8799] that thou settest H4929 a watch over me?
  13 H559 [H8804] When I say, H6210 My bed H5162 [H8762] shall comfort H4904 me, my couch H5375 [H8799] shall ease H7879 my complaint;
  14 H2865 [H8765] Then thou scarest H2472 me with dreams, H1204 [H8762] and terrifiest H2384 me through visions:
  15 H5315 So that my breath H977 [H8799] chooseth H4267 strangling, H4194 and death H6106 rather than my life.
  16 H3988 [H8804] I loathe H2421 [H8799] it; I would not live H5769 always: H2308 [H8798] let me alone; H3117 for my days H1892 are vanity.
  17 H582 What is man, H1431 [H8762] that thou shouldest magnify H7896 [H8799] him? and that thou shouldest set H3820 thine heart upon him?
  18 H6485 [H8799] And that thou shouldest visit H1242 him every morning, H974 [H8799] and try H7281 him every moment?
  19 H4100 How long H8159 [H8799] wilt thou not gaze away H7503 [H8686] from me, nor let me alone H1104 [H8800] till I swallow H7536 my spittle?
  20 H2398 [H8804] I have sinned; H6466 [H8799] what shall I do H5341 [H8802] to thee, O thou preserver H120 of men? H7760 [H8804] why hast thou set H4645 me as a mark H4853 against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?
  21 H5375 [H8799] And why dost thou not lift up H6588 my revolt, H5674 [H8686] and take away H5771 my perversity? H7901 [H8799] for now shall I sleep H6083 in the dust; H7836 [H8765] and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.

Coverdale(i) 1 Is not the life off ma vpon earth a very batayll? Are not his dayes, like the dayes of an hyred seruaunte? 2 For like as a bonde seruaunt desyreth the shadowe, and as an hyrelinge wolde fayne haue an ende of his worke: 3 Euen so haue I laboured whole monethes longe (but in vayne) and many a carefull night haue I tolde. 4 When I layed me downe to slepe, I sayde: O when shal I ryse? Agayne, I longed sore for the night. Thus am I full off sorowe, till it be darcke. 5 My flesh is clothed with wormes, fylthinesse and dust: my skynne is wythered, and crompled together: 6 my dayes passe ouer more spedely, the a weeuer can weeue out his webbe, and are gone, or I am awarre. 7 O remembre, that my life is but a wynde, ad that myne eye shal nomore se the pleasures 8 therof yee and that none other mans eye shall se me eny more. For yf thou fasten thine eyes vpon me, I come to naught like 9 as a cloude is cosumed and vanyshed awaye, euen so he that goeth downe to hell, commeth nomore vp, 10 ner turneth agayne in to his house, nether shall his place knowe him eny more. 11 Therfore I will not spare my mouth, but will speake in the trouble of my sprete, in ye bytternesse of my mynde will I talke. 12 Am I a see or a whalfysh, that thou kepest me so in preson? 13 When I thynke: my bedd shall comforte me, I shall haue some refresshinge by talkynge with myself vpon my couche: 14 The troublest thou me with dreames, ad makest me so afrayed thorow visions, 15 that my soule wyssheth rather to be hanged, and my bones to be deed. 16 I can se no remedy, I shall lyue nomore: O spare me then, for my dayes are but vayne 17 What is man, that thou hast him in soch reputacion, and settest so moch by him? 18 Thou takest diligent care for him, and sodely doest thou trye him. 19 Why goest thou not fro me, ner lettest me alone, so longe till I swalow downe my spetle? 20 I haue offended, what shal I do vnto ye, O thou preseruer off men? Why hast thou made me to stonde in thy waye, and am so heuy a burden vnto myself? 21 Why doest thou not forgeue me my synne? Wherfore takest thou not awaye my wickednesse? Beholde, now must I slepe in the dust: and yff thou sekest me tomorow in the mornynge, I shalbe gone.
MSTC(i) 1 Is not the life of man upon earth a very battle? Are not his days like the days of a hired servant? 2 For like as a bond servant desireth the shadow, and as a hireling would fain have an end of his work: 3 Even so have I laboured whole months long - but in vain - and many a careful night have I told. 4 When I laid me down to sleep, I said, 'O when shall I rise?' Again, I longed sore for the night. Thus am I full of sorrow, till it be dark. 5 My flesh is clothed with worms, filthiness and dust; my skin is withered, and crumpled together; 6 my days pass over more speedily than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope. 7 "O remember that my life is but a wind, and that mine eye shall no more see the pleasures thereof; 8 yea, and that none other man's eye shall see me anymore. 9 For if thou fasten thine eyes upon me, I come to naught like as a cloud is consumed and vanisheth away. Even so, he that goeth down to hell, cometh no more up, 10 nor turneth again into his house, neither shall his place know him any more. 11 Therefore I will not spare my mouth, but will speak in the trouble of my spirit; in that bitterness of my mind will I talk. 12 Am I a sea, or a whalefish, that thou keepest me so in prison? 13 When I think, 'My bed shall comfort me; I shall have some refreshing by talking to myself upon my couch,' 14 then troublest thou me with dreams - and makest me so afraid through visions 15 that my soul wisheth rather to be strangled, and my bones to be dead. 16 I can see no remedy. I shall live no more. O spare me then, for my days are but vain. 17 "What is man, that thou dost magnify him? And that thou settest thy heart upon him? 18 Thou visitest him early, and every day: and suddenly doest thou try him. 19 Why goest thou not from me, nor lettest me alone, so long till I swallow down my spittle? 20 I have offended; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? Why hast thou made me to stand in thy way, and am so heavy a burden unto myself? 21 Why dost thou not forgive my sin? Wherefore takest thou not away my wickedness? Behold, now must I sleep in the dust: And if thou seekest me tomorrow in the morning, I shall be gone."
Matthew(i) 1 Is not the lyfe of man vpon earth a verye batayl? Are not hys daies lyke the daies of an hired seruaunte? 2 For lyke as a bonde seruaunt desyreth the shadowe, and as an hyrelynge woulde fayne haue an ende of hys worcke: 3 Euen so haue I laboured whole monethes longe (but in vayne) and manye a carefull nyght haue I tolde. 4 When I layed me downe to slepe, I sayde: O when shall I ryse? Agayne, I longed sore for the night.

DouayRheims(i) 1 The life of man upon earth is a warfare, and his days are like the days of a hireling. 2 As a servant longeth for the shade, as the hireling looketh for the end of his work; 3 So I also have had empty months, and have numbered to myself wearisome nights. 4 If I lie down to sleep, I shall say: When shall I rise? and again, I shall look for the evening, and shall be filled with sorrows even till darkness. 5 My flesh is clothed with rottenness and the filth of dust; my skin is withered and drawn together. 6 My days have passed more swiftly than the web is cut by the weaver, and are consumed without any hope. 7 Remember that my life is but wind, and my eye shall not return to see good things. 8 Nor shall the sight of man behold me: thy eyes are upon me, and I shall be no more. 9 As a cloud is consumed, and passeth away: so he that shall go down to hell shall not come up. 10 Nor shall he return any more into his house, neither shall his place know him any more 11 Wherefore, I will not spare my month, I will speak in the affliction of my spirit: I will talk with the bitterness of my soul. 12 Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou hast inclosed me in a prison? 13 If I say: My bed shall comfort me, and I shall be relieved, speaking with myself on my couch: 14 Thou wilt frighten me with dreams, and terrify me with visions. 15 So that my soul rather chooseth hanging, and my bones death. 16 I have done with hope, I shall now live no longer: spare me, for my days are nothing. 17 What is a man, that thou shouldst magnify him or why dost thou set thy heart upon him? 18 Thou visitest him early in the morning, and thou provest him suddenly. 19 How long wilt thou not spare me, nor suffer me to swallow down my spittle? 20 I have sinned: what shall I do to thee, O keeper of men? why hast thou set me opposite to thee. and am I become burdensome to myself? 21 Why dost thou not remove my sin, and why dost thou not take away my iniquity?

Thomson(i) 1 Is not the life of man on the earth a state of trial, and his days like the days of a hireling? 2 Is he not like a servant, who in a shade is afraid of his lord? Or like a hireling waiting for his hire? 3 Just so have I waited months in vain, and wearisome nights have been doled out to me. 4 When I lay me down to rest, I say, When will it be day? And soon as I rise; I again say, When will it be evening? I am full of pains from evening till morning; 5 and my body swarms with the putrefaction of worms: and I moisten the clods of earth with the ichor of ulcers. 6 Though my life is swifter than a word; yet it is destroyed with vain hope. 7 Remember therefore that my life is but a breath; and that mine eyes shall never return again to see good. 8 The eye of him who seeth me now shall not see me again. Thine eyes are upon me and I am gone. 9 I am like a cloud swept clean away from the sky. For when a man goeth down to the mansion of the dead; 10 he can never reascend again; he can never return again to his own house; nor shall his place know him any more. 11 For this cause then I will not refrain my mouth: I will speak though I am in anguish: though distressed, I will unfold the bitterness of my soul. 12 Am I a sea or a dragon, that thou hast set a guard over me? 13 Did I say my bed will comfort me; I will converse with myself privately on my bed? 14 Thou terrifiest me with dreams and affrightest me with visions. 15 Wilt thou drive away my life from my spirit; and yet keep my bones from death? 16 For I am not to live forever, that I should bear patiently. Withdraw from me; for my life is vanity. 17 For what is man, that thou hast magnified him; or that thou payest attention to him? 18 Wilt thou keep a watch upon him till the morning. And judge him to the time of going to rest? 19 How long wilt thou not let me alone: nor let me go, that I may swallow my spittle? 20 If I have sinned what can I do? thou who knowest the hearts of men; why hast thou set me up as thy mark to shoot at? Am I indeed a burden to thee? 21 Why hast thou not made an oblivion of my transgression; or a purification for my sin? Now therefore let me depart into the earth: and when thou risest in the morning, I am no more.

Brenton(i) 1 Is not the life of man upon earth a state of trial? and his existence as that of a hireling by the day? 2 Or as a servant that fears his master, and one who has grasped a shadow? or as a hireling waiting for his pay? 3 So have I also endured months of vanity, and nights of pain have been appointed me. 4 Whenever I lie down, I say, When will it be day? and whenever I rise up, again I say when will it be evening? and I am full of pains from evening to morning. 5 And my body is covered with loathsome worms; and I waste away, scraping off clods of dust from my eruption. 6 And my life is lighter than a word, and has perished in vain hope. 7 Remember then that my life is breath, and mine eye shalt not yet again see good. 8 The eye of him that sees me shall not see me again: thine eyes are upon me, and I am no more. 9 I am as a cloud that is cleared away from the sky: for if a man go down to the grave, he shall not come up again: 10 and he shall surely not return to his own house, neither shall his place know him any more. 11 Then neither will I refrain my mouth: I will speak being in distress; being in anguish I will disclose the bitterness of my soul. 12 Am I a sea, or a serpent, that thou hast set a watch over me? 13 I said that my bed should comfort me, and I would privately counsel with myself on my couch. 14 Thou scarest me with dreams, and dost terrify me with visions. 15 Thou wilt separate life from my spirit; and yet keep my bones from death. 16 For I shall not live for ever, that I should patiently endure: depart from me, for my life is vain. 17 For what is man, that thou hast magnified him? or that thou givest heed to him? 18 Wilt thou visit him till the morning, and judge him till the time of rest? 19 How long dost thou not let me alone, nor let me go, until I shall swallow down my spittle? 20 If I have sinned, what shall I be able to do, O thou that understandest the mind of men? why hast thou made me as thine accuser, and why am I a burden to thee? 21 Why hast thou not forgotten my iniquity, and purged my sin? but now I shall depart to the earth; and in the morning I am no more.

Leeser(i) 1 Is there not a limited time of service to a mortal upon the earth? Are not his days also like the days of a hired laborer? 2 As a servant eagerly longeth for the shadow, and as a hired laborer hopeth for his reward: 3 So was I compelled to possess months of vanity, and nights of trouble were counted out unto me. 4 When I He down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am wearied with tossings about till the dawn of day. 5 My flesh is covered with worms and clods of dust: my skin is burst open, and become loathsome. 6 My days hasten away more swiftly than a weaver’s shuttle, and they come to an end in the absence of hope. 7 Oh remember that nothing but a breath is my life; that my eye will not again see happiness; 8 The eye of him that seeth me now will not behold me again: thou fixest thy eyes upon me, and I am no more. 9 As the cloud vanisheth and passeth away: so will he that goeth down to the nether world not come up again. 10 He will return no more to his house, and his place will not recognize him any more. 11 Therefore will I also not restrain 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 monster, that thou settest a watch over me? 13 For should I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall help me bear my complaint: 14 Then wouldst thou frighten me with dreams, and with visions wouldst thou terrify me; 15 So that my soul would choose strangling, death rather than these limbs of mine. 16 I loathe it; I cannot live for ever: let me alone; for my days are but nought. 17 What is the mortal, that thou shouldst make him great? and that thou shouldst direct thy heart toward him? 18 And that thou shouldst visit him every morning, probe him every moment? 19 How long wilt thou not turn thy regard from me, nor let; me loose till I swallow down my spittle? 20 If I have sinned, what injury can I cause unto thee, O thou Guardian of men? why hast thou set me as an object for thee to strike at, so that I am become a burden to myself? 21 And why wilt thou not forgive my transgression, and let my iniquity pass away? for soon must I lie down in the dust; and thou wilt seek for me, but I shall be no more.
YLT(i) 1 Is there not a warfare to man on earth? And as the days of an hireling his days? 2 As a servant desireth the shadow, And as a hireling expecteth his wage, 3 So I have been caused to inherit months of vanity, And nights of misery they numbered to me. 4 If I lay down then I said, `When do I rise!' And evening hath been measured, And I have been full of tossings till dawn. 5 Clothed hath been my flesh with worms, And a clod of dust, My skin hath been shrivelled and is loathsome, 6 My days swifter than a weaving machine, And they are consumed without hope.

Yet the evening measures on, And I am surfeited with restlessness until the morning gloaming. 5 My flesh is clothed with maggot and dirty scab; My skin is split apart and is fetid. 6 My days are fleeter than a weaver's shuttle, And they shall conclude with the limit of the weaving thread. 7 Remember that my life is a wind; My eye shall not turn back again to see good. 8 The eye of Him with sight shall not regard me; Your eyes will look for me, but I will not be there. 9 As a cloud vanishes and goes away, So one descending to the unseen shall not ascend. 10 He shall not return any more to his house, And his place shall not recognize him again. 11 Indeed for me, I shall not keep back my mouth; I shall speak in the distress of my spirit; I shall importune in the bitterness of my soul. 12 Am I the sea or the monster That You should place a guard over me? 13 For I said, My cot shall comfort me; My bed shall bear away my concern;" 14 Yet You have dismayed me with dreams, And You have frightened me with visions. 15 So my soul would choose strangling; Death is desired by my bones. 16 I reject this; I would not live for the eon; Leave off from me, for my days are vanity. 17 What is a mortal that You should make a great thing of him, Or that You should set Your heart on him? 18 Or You should note him every morning, And You should test him every moment? 19 How long shall You not heed me, Or not let me relax even until I swallow my saliva? 20 I have sinned, Yet what do I contrive against You, O Preserver of mankind? Why have You established me as Your target mark, That I should become a load to You? 21 Why do You not bear my transgression And pass over my depravity? For now I shall lie in the soil, And You would seek me early, but I will not be there.
BBE(i) 1 Has not man his ordered time of trouble on the earth? and are not his days like the days of a servant working for payment? 2 As a servant desiring the shades of evening, and a workman looking for his payment: 3 So I have for my heritage months of pain to no purpose, and nights of weariness are given to me. 4 When I go to my bed, I say, When will it be time to get up? but the night is long, and I am turning from side to side till morning light. 5 My flesh is covered with worms and dust; my skin gets hard and then is cracked again. 6 My days go quicker than the cloth-worker's thread, and come to an end without hope. 7 O, keep in mind that my life is wind: my eye will never again see good. 8 The eye of him who sees me will see me no longer: your eyes will be looking for me, but I will be gone. 9 A cloud comes to an end and is gone; so he who goes down into the underworld comes not up again. 10 He will not come back to his house, and his place will have no more knowledge of him. 11 So I will not keep my mouth shut; I will let the words come from it in the pain of my spirit, my soul will make a bitter outcry. 12 Am I a sea, or a sea-beast, that you put a watch over me? 13 When I say, In my bed I will have comfort, there I will get rest from my disease; 14 Then you send dreams to me, and visions of fear; 15 So that a hard death seems better to my soul than my pains. 16 I have no desire for life, I would not be living for ever! Keep away from me, for my days are as a breath. 17 What is man, that you have made him great, and that your attention is fixed on him, 18 And that your hand is on him every morning, and that you are testing him every minute? 19 How long will it be before your eyes are turned away from me, so that I may have a minute's breathing-space? 20 If I have done wrong, what have I done to you, O keeper of men? why have you made me a mark for your blows, so that I am a weariness to myself? 21 And why do you not take away my sin, and let my wrongdoing be ended? for now I go down to the dust, and you will be searching for me with care, but I will be gone.
MKJV(i) 1 Is there not a warfare to man on earth? Are not his days also like the days of a hireling? 2 As a servant earnestly desires the shadow, and as a hireling looks for his wages, 3 so I am made to possess months of vanity, and weary nights are appointed to me. 4 When I lie down, I say, When shall I rise? But the night is long, and I am full of tossing to and fro until the dawning of the day. 5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken and has run afresh. 6 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are ended without hope. 7 Remember that my life is a breath; my eye shall no more see good. 8 The eye of him who has seen me shall see me no more; Your eyes are on me, and I am gone. 9 As the cloud falls and vanishes away, so he who goes down to the grave shall come up no more. 10 He shall return no more to his house, nor shall his place know him any more. 11 Therefore I will not hold my mouth; I will speak in the trouble of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. 12 Am I like the sea, or a whale, that You set a watch over me? 13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint, 14 then You scare me with dreams, and terrify me with visions; 15 so that my soul chooses strangling, death rather than my life. 16 I despise them; I will not live always; let me alone, for my days are vanity. 17 What is man, that You should magnify him, and that You should set Your heart on him, 18 and visit him every morning, trying him every moment? 19 Until when will You look away from me, nor let me alone until I swallow down my spittle? 20 I have sinned. What shall I do to You, O Watcher of men? Why have You set me as a target for You, so that I am a burden to myself? 21 And why do You not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity?

ECB(i) 1 Is there not a hostility to man on earth? Are his days also as the days of an hireling? 2 As a servant gulps the shadow - as a hireling awaits his deeds; 3 thus I inherit moons of vanity and nights of toil are numbered to me. 4 I lie down and I say, When do I arise? and the evening flies away and I am satiated by tossings to and fro until the evening breeze. 5 My flesh enrobes with maggots and clods of dust; my skin splits and dissipates: 6 my days are swifter than a weaver - finished off without hope. 7 O remember that my life is wind/spirit; my eye returns not to see good. 8 The eye of him who sees me lurks not; your eyes are on me, and I am not. 9 the cloud finishes off and goes; thus he who descends to sheol ascends not again; 10 he neither returns to his house, nor his place recognizes him again. 11 Also I - I spare not my mouth; I word in the tribulation of my spirit; I meditate in the bitterness of my soul. 12 Am I a sea or a monster that you set a guard over me? 13 When I say, My bedstead sighs for me, my bed lifts my meditation; 14 and you terrify me with dreams and frighten me through visions; 15 so that my soul chooses strangling and death rather than my bones. 16 I spurn; I live not eternally; let me decease; for my days are vanity. 17 What is man, that you greaten him? - that you set your heart on him? 18 - that you visit him every morning? - and proof him every blink? 19 Until when look you not from me? - nor loose me until I swallow my spit? 20 I sinned; what do I to you, O you guardian of humanity? Why set me as a target against you, so that I am a burden to myself? 21 And why lift you not my rebellion and pass away my perversity? for now I lie in the dust; and you seek me early - but I am not.

I measure the night, 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 abominable. 6 My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle and are spent without hope. 7 ¶ Remember thou that my life is wind and that my eyes shall not return to see good. 8 The eyes of those that see me now shall not see me again; thine eyes shall be upon me, and I will cease to be. 9 As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he that goes down to Sheol, who shall not come up again; 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 dragon, that thou settest a watch over me? 13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint; 14 then thou dost scare me with dreams and terrify me with visions. 15 And my soul thought it better to be strangled and desired death more than my bones. 16 I loathed life; I do not desire to live for ever; let me alone; for my days are vanity. 17 ¶ What is man that thou should magnify him and that thou should set thine heart upon him 18 and that thou should visit him every morning and try him every moment? 19 For how long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone until I swallow down my spittle? 20 If 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 take away my rebellion and pass over my iniquity? For now I shall sleep in the dust; and if thou shalt seek me in the morning, I shall not be found.
CAB(i) 1 Is not the life of man upon earth a state of trial? And his existence as that of a hireling by the day? 2 Or as a servant that fears his master, and one who has grasped a shadow? Or as a hireling waiting for his pay? 3 So have I also endured months of vanity, and nights of pain have been appointed me. 4 Whenever I lie down, I say, When will it be day? And whenever I rise up, again I say when will it be evening? And I am full of pains from evening to morning. 5 And my body is covered with loathsome worms; and I waste away, scraping off clods of dust from my eruption. 6 And my life is lighter than a word, and has perished in vain hope. 7 Remember then that my life is breath, and my eye shall not yet again see good. 8 The eye of him that sees me shall not see me again: your eyes are upon me, and I am no more. 9 I am as a cloud that is cleared away from the sky: for if a man should go down to the grave, he shall not come up again. 10 And he shall surely not return to his own house, neither shall his place know him any more. 11 Then neither will I refrain my mouth; I will speak being in distress; being in anguish I will disclose the bitterness of my soul. 12 Am I a sea, or a serpent, that you have set a watch over me? 13 I said that my bed should comfort me, and I would privately counsel with myself on my couch. 14 You scare me with dreams, and terrify me with visions. 15 You will separate life from my spirit; and yet keep my bones from death. 16 For I shall not live forever, that I should patiently endure: depart from me, for my life is vain. 17 For what is man, that You have magnified him? Or that You give heed to him? 18 Will You visit him till the morning, and judge him till the time of rest? 19 How long do You not let me alone, nor let me go, until I shall swallow down my spittle? 20 If I have sinned, what shall I be able to do, O You that understand the mind of men? why have You made me as Your accuser, and why am I a burden to You? 21 Why have You not forgotten my iniquity, and purged my sin? But now I shall depart to the earth, and in the morning I am no more.

ISV(i) 1 Job Acknowledges the Brevity of Life“Men have harsh servitude on earth, do they not? His days are like those of a hired laborer, are they not? 2 I’m like a servant who longs for the shade, like a hired laborer who is looking for his wages. 3 Truly I’ve been allotted months of emptiness; nights of trouble have been appointed for me. 4 “When I lie down I ask, ‘When will I wake up?’ But the night continues and I keep tossing and turning until dawn. 5 My skin is covered with worms and clods of dirt; my skin becomes rough and then breaks out afresh. 6 My days pass as swiftly as a hand-loom; they come to their conclusion without hope. 7 Remember that my life is a breath; my eyes won’t go back to seeing good things. 8 The eyes of the one who sees me won’t see me anymore; your eyes will look for me but I won’t be around! 9 As a cloud fades away and vanishes, the one who descends to the afterlife doesn’t return. 10 He doesn’t return again to his house, and his place won’t recognize him anymore.”
11 Job Intends to Complain“In addition, I won’t keep my opinion to myself; I’ll speak from my distressed spirit; I’ll complain with my bitter soul. 12 Am I the sea, or a sea monster, that you keep watching me? 13 For I’ve said, ‘My bed will comfort me; my couch will ease my burdens while I complain.’ 14 But then you scared me with dreams; you terrified me with visions. 15 I would rather die by strangulation than continue living. 16 I hate the thought of living forever! Leave me alone, because my days are pointless.”

Why don’t you leave me alone so I can swallow my saliva? 20 So what if I sin? What have I done against you, you observer of humankind? Why have you made me your target? Why burden yourself with me? 21 Why haven’t you pardoned my transgression and taken away my iniquity? Now I’m about to lie down in the dust. You will seek me diligently, but I won’t be around!”

I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. 12 Am I the sea, or a sea monster, that you set a guard over me? 13 When I say, 'My bed will comfort me, and my couch will ease my complaint,' 14 Thou wilt frighten me with dreams, and terrify me with visions. 15 so that my soul chooses strangling and death rather than [these] my bones. 16 I loathe my life; I would not live alway: Let me alone; for my days are vanity. 17 What is man, that thou makest much of him? and that thou settest thy heart upon him? 18 »For you examine us every morning and test us every moment. 19 How long will you not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle? 20 »Have I sinned? What have I done to you, O watcher of all humanity? Why have you made me your target? Am I a burden to you? 21 And why do you not pardon my transgression and take away my guilt? For now I shall lie in the dust, and you will seek me, but I will be no more."
Luther1545(i) 1 Muß nicht der Mensch immer im Streit sein auf Erden, und seine Tage sind wie eines Taglöhners? 2 Wie ein Knecht sich sehnet nach dem Schatten und ein Taglöhner, daß seine Arbeit aus sei, 3 also habe ich wohl ganze Monden vergeblich gearbeitet, und elende Nächte sind mir viel worden. 4 Wenn ich mich legte, sprach ich: Wann werde ich aufstehen? Und danach rechnete ich, wenn es Abend wollte werden; denn ich war ganz ein Scheusal jedermann, bis es finster ward. 5 Mein Fleisch ist um und um wurmig und kotig: meine Haut ist verschrumpft und zunichte worden. 6 Meine Tage sind leichter dahingeflogen denn eine Weberspule und sind vergangen, daß kein Aufhalten dagewesen ist. 7 Gedenke, daß mein Leben ein Wind ist, und meine Augen nicht wiederkommen, zu sehen das Gute. 8 Und kein lebendig Auge wird mich mehr sehen. Deine Augen sehen mich an; darüber vergehe ich. 9 Eine Wolke vergehet und fähret dahin; also, wer in die Hölle hinunterfährt, kommt nicht wieder herauf 10 und kommt nicht wieder in sein Haus, und sein Ort kennet ihn nicht mehr. 11 Darum will auch ich meinem Munde nicht wehren; ich will reden von der Angst meines Herzens und will heraussagen von der Betrübnis meiner Seele. 12 Bin ich denn ein Meer oder ein Walfisch, daß du mich so verwahrest? 13 Wenn ich gedachte, mein Bett soll mich trösten, mein Lager soll mir's leichtern; 14 wenn ich mit mir selbst rede, so erschreckst du mich mit Träumen und machst mir Grauen, 15 daß meine Seele wünschet erhangen zu sein, und meine Gebeine den Tod. 16 Ich begehre nicht mehr zu leben. Höre auf von mir, denn meine Tage sind vergeblich gewesen. 17 Was ist ein Mensch, daß du ihn groß achtest und bekümmerst dich mit ihm? 18 Du suchest ihn täglich heim und versuchest ihn alle Stunde. 19 Warum tust du dich nicht von mir und lässest nicht ab, bis ich meinen Speichel schlinge? 20 Habe ich gesündiget, was soll ich dir tun, o du Menschenhüter? Warum machst du mich, daß ich auf dich stoße und bin mir selbst eine Last? 21 Und warum vergibst du mir meine Missetat nicht und nimmst nicht weg meine Sünde? Denn nun werde ich mich in die Erde legen; und wenn man mich morgen suchet, werde ich nicht da sein.

Giguet(i) 1 ¶ La vie de l’homme sur la terre est-elle autre chose qu’une épreuve? N’est-il pas lui-même comme un ouvrier à gages que l’on prend le jour où l’on veut l’employer, 2 Ou comme l’esclave qui craint son maître et ne gagne qu’un peu de repos à l’ombre, ou comme le journalier à qui l’on fait attendre son salaire? 3 Et moi j’ai vainement attendu des mois entiers; il ne m’a été accordé que des nuits de douleurs. 4 Si je me couche, je dis: Quand viendra le jour? Et si je me lève: Quand viendra le soir? Et je suis accablé de souffrance du soir à l’aurore. 5 Mon corps est souillé de la pourriture des vers; j’amollis les glèbes de la terre avec le pus que je jette. 6 Ma vie est plus légère que la parole; elle s’est consumée comme une espérance déçue. 7 ¶ Souviens-toi, Eliphaz, que ma vie n’est qu’un souffle et que mon œil ne verra plus rien d’heureux. 8 Et œil qui me voit ne me verra plus; tu jettes un regard sur moi et je ne suis plus, 9 Semblable à un nuage suspendu dans les cieux. Car une fois descendu aux enfers l’homme n’en remontera jamais. 10 Il ne reviendra point en la maison qui était la sienne, et sa contrée natale ne le reconnaîtrait pas. 11 Non, je n’épargnerai pas les discours; je parlerai dans l’angoisse où je suis; j’ai hâte d’épancher l’amertume de mon âme. 12 Suis-je la mer, suis-je un serpent pour que tu te gardes de moi? 13 J’avais dit: Mon lit me consolera, et je renfermerai en moi-même les pensées qui me viendront sur ma couche. 14 Et vous, ô mon Dieu, vous m’effrayez par des songes, vous m’épouvantez par des visions. 15 Retirez de ma vie le souffle; que la mort désunisse mes os. 16 Je ne puis toujours vivre afin que ma patience soit toujours exercée; détournez-vous de moi, Seigneur, car mon existence n’est d’aucun prix. 17 ¶ Qu’est-ce donc que l’homme pour que vous l’honoriez, pour que vous attachiez sur lui votre pensée? 18 Le visiterez-vous avant le jour; le jugerez-vous pendant les heures de repos? 19 Jusqu’à quand me retiendrez-vous? Attendrez-vous que j’ai craché toute ma salive? 20 Si j’ai péché, qu’ai-je à faire, ô vous qui connaissez la conscience des hommes? Pourquoi m’avez-vous contraint de vous adresser mes plaintes et d’être pour vous un fardeau? 21 Pourquoi n’avez-vous point mis en oubli mes péchés et leur purification? Je vais tout à l’heure entrer dans la terre; aux premières lueurs du matin je ne suis plus.

L'homme n'a-t-il pas une vie de labeur sur la terre? Et ses jours ne sont-ils pas comme les jours d'un mercenaire? 2 Comme l'esclave soupire après l'ombre, et comme le mercenaire attend son salaire, 3 j'ai eu pour partage des mois de déception, et des nuits de misère me sont assignées. 4 Si je me couche, alors je dis: Quand me lèverai-je et quand l'obscurité prendra-t-elle fin? et je suis excédé d'agitations jusqu'au point du jour. 5 Ma chair est couverte de vers et de croûtes de terre, ma peau se retire et suppure. 6 Mes jours s'en vont plus vite qu'une navette, et finissent sans espérance. 7
Souviens-toi que ma vie n'est qu'un souffle: mon oeil ne reverra pas le bien; 8 L'oeil qui me regarde ne me reverra plus; tes yeux sont sur moi, et je ne suis plus. 9 La nuée disparaît et s'en va; ainsi celui qui descend au shéol n'en remonte pas, 10 Il ne revient plus dans sa maison, et son lieu ne le reconnaît plus. 11 Aussi je ne retiendrai pas ma bouche: je parlerai dans la détresse de mon esprit, je discourrai dans l'amertume de mon âme. 12 Suis-je une mer, suis-je un monstre marin, que tu établisses des gardes autour de moi? 13 Quand je dis: Mon lit me consolera, ma couche allégera ma détresse, 14 Alors tu m'effrayes par des songes, tu me terrifies par des visions, 15 Et mon âme choisit la suffocation, -plutôt la mort que mes os: 16 J'en suis dégoûté; je ne vivrai pas à toujours. Laisse-moi, car mes jours sont vanité. 17
Qu'est-ce que l'homme que tu fasses grand cas de lui, et que ton coeur s'occupe de lui, 18 Et que tu le visites chaque matin, que tu l'éprouves à tout moment? 19 Pourquoi ne détournes-tu pas les yeux de moi, et ne me laisses-tu pas tranquille jusqu'à ce que j'aie avalé ma salive? 20 J'ai péché; -que t'ai-je fait? Toi qui observes l'homme, pourquoi m'as-tu placé pour être l'objet de tes coups, de sorte que je suis un fardeau à moi-même? 21 Et pourquoi ne pardonnes-tu pas ma transgression, et ne fais-tu point passer mon iniquité? Car maintenant je me coucherai dans la poussière, et tu me chercheras, et je ne serai plus.
Martin(i) 1 N'y a-t-il pas un temps de guerre limité à l'homme sur la terre ? et ses jours ne sont-ils pas comme les jours d'un mercenaire ? 2 Comme le serviteur soupire après l'ombre, et comme l'ouvrier attend son salaire; 3 Ainsi il m'a été donné pour mon partage des mois qui ne m'apportent rien; et il m'a été assigné des nuits de travail. 4 Si je suis couché, je dis, quand me lèverai-je ? et quand est-ce que la nuit aura achevé sa mesure ? et je suis plein d'inquiétudes jusqu'au point du jour. 5 Ma chair est couverte de vers et de monceaux de poussière; ma peau se crevasse, et se dissout. 6 Mes jours ont passé plus légèrement que la navette d'un tisserand, et ils se consument sans espérance. 7 Souviens-toi, ô Eternel! que ma vie n'est qu'un vent, et que mon oeil ne reviendra plus voir le bien. 8 L'oeil de ceux qui me regardent ne me verra plus; tes yeux seront sur moi, et je ne serai plus. 9 Comme la nuée se dissipe et s'en va, ainsi celui qui descend au sépulcre ne remontera plus. 10 Il ne reviendra plus en sa maison, et son lieu ne le reconnaîtra plus. 11 C'est pourquoi je ne retiendrai point ma bouche, je parlerai dans l'angoisse de mon esprit, je discourrai dans l'amertume de mon âme. 12 Suis-je une mer, ou une baleine, que tu mettes des gardes autour de moi ? 13 Quand je dis : Mon lit me soulagera; le repos diminuera quelque chose de ma plainte; 14 Alors tu m'étonnes par des songes, et tu me troubles par des visions. 15 C'est pourquoi je choisirais d'être étranglé, et de mourir, plutôt que de conserver mes os. 16 Je suis ennuyé de la vie, aussi ne vivrai-je pas toujours. Retire-toi de moi, car mes jours ne sont que vanité. 17 Qu'est-ce que de l'homme mortel que tu le regardes comme quelque chose de grand ? et que tu l'affectionnes ? 18 Et que tu le visites chaque matin; que tu l'éprouves à tout moment ? 19 Jusqu'à quand ne te retireras-tu point de moi ? Ne me permettras-tu point d'avaler ma salive ? 20 J'ai péché; que te ferai-je, Conservateur des hommes ? pourquoi m'as-tu mis pour t'être en butte; et pourquoi suis-je à charge à moi-même ? 21 Et pourquoi n'ôtes-tu point mon péché, et ne fais-tu point passer mon iniquité ? car bientôt je dormirai dans la poussière; et si tu me cherches le matin, je ne serai plus.
Segond(i) 1 Le sort de l'homme sur la terre est celui d'un soldat, Et ses jours sont ceux d'un mercenaire. 2 Comme l'esclave soupire après l'ombre, Comme l'ouvrier attend son salaire, 3 Ainsi j'ai pour partage des mois de douleur, J'ai pour mon lot des nuits de souffrance. 4 Je me couche, et je dis: Quand me lèverai-je? quand finira la nuit? Et je suis rassasié d'agitations jusqu'au point du jour. 5 Mon corps se couvre de vers et d'une croûte terreuse, Ma peau se crevasse et se dissout. 6 Mes jours sont plus rapides que la navette du tisserand, Ils s'évanouissent: plus d'espérance! 7 Souviens-toi que ma vie est un souffle! Mes yeux ne reverront pas le bonheur. 8 L'oeil qui me regarde ne me regardera plus; Ton oeil me cherchera, et je ne serai plus. 9 Comme la nuée se dissipe et s'en va, Celui qui descend au séjour des morts ne remontera pas; 10 Il ne reviendra plus dans sa maison, Et le lieu qu'il habitait ne le connaîtra plus. 11 C'est pourquoi je ne retiendrai point ma bouche, Je parlerai dans l'angoisse de mon coeur, Je me plaindrai dans l'amertume de mon âme. 12 Suis-je une mer, ou un monstre marin, Pour que tu établisses des gardes autour de moi? 13 Quand je dis: Mon lit me soulagera, Ma couche calmera mes douleurs, 14 C'est alors que tu m'effraies par des songes, Que tu m'épouvantes par des visions. 15 Ah! je voudrais être étranglé! Je voudrais la mort plutôt que ces os! 16 Je les méprise!... je ne vivrai pas toujours... Laisse-moi, car ma vie n'est qu'un souffle. 17 Qu'est-ce que l'homme, pour que tu en fasses tant de cas, Pour que tu daignes prendre garde à lui, 18 Pour que tu le visites tous les matins, Pour que tu l'éprouves à tous les instants? 19 Quand cesseras-tu d'avoir le regard sur moi? Quand me laisseras-tu le temps d'avaler ma salive? 20 Si j'ai péché, qu'ai-je pu te faire, gardien des hommes? Pourquoi me mettre en butte à tes traits? Pourquoi me rendre à charge à moi-même? 21 Que ne pardonnes-tu mon péché, Et que n'oublies-tu mon iniquité? Car je vais me coucher dans la poussière; Tu me chercheras, et je ne serai plus.

SE(i) 1 Ciertamente tiempo determinado tiene el hombre sobre la tierra, y sus días son como los días del jornalero. 2 Como el siervo anhela la sombra, y como el jornalero espera el reposo de su trabajo, 3 así poseo yo los meses de vanidad, y las noches de trabajo me dieron por cuenta. 4 Cuando estoy acostado, digo: ¿Cuándo me levantaré? Y mido la noche, y estoy harto de devaneos hasta el alba. 5 Mi carne está vestida de gusanos, y de terrones de polvo; mi piel hendida y abominable. 6 Mis días fueron más ligeros que la lanzadera del tejedor, y fenecieron sin esperanza. 7 Acuérdate que mi vida es un viento, y que mis ojos no volverán para ver el bien. 8 Los ojos de los que ahora me ven, no me verán más; tus ojos serán sobre mí, y dejaré de ser. 9 La nube se acaba, y se va; así el que desciende al sepulcro, que nunca más subirá; 10 no tornará más a su casa, ni su lugar le conocerá más. 11 Por tanto yo no reprimiré mi boca; hablaré con la angustia de mi espíritu, y me quejaré con la amargura de mi alma. 12 ¿Soy yo el mar, o ballena, que me pongas guarda? 13 Cuando digo: Mi cama me consolará, mi cama atenuará mis quejas; 14 entonces me quebrantarás con sueños, y me turbarás con visiones. 15 Y mi alma tuvo por mejor el ahogamiento, y quiso la muerte más que a mis huesos. 16 Abominé la vida; no quiero vivir para siempre; déjame, pues, que mis días son vanidad. 17 ¿Qué es el hombre, para que lo engrandezcas, y que pongas sobre él tu corazón, 18 y lo visites todas las mañanas, y todos los momentos lo pruebes? 19 ¿Hasta cuándo no me dejarás, ni me soltarás hasta que trague mi saliva? 20 Si he pecado, ¿qué te haré, oh Guarda de los hombres? ¿Por qué me has puesto contrario a ti, y que a mí mismo sea pesado? 21 ¿Y por qué no quitas mi rebelión, y perdonas mi iniquidad?

RST(i) 1 Не определено ли человеку время на земле, и дни его не то же ли, что дни наемника? 2 Как раб жаждет тени, и как наемник ждет окончания работы своей, 3 так я получил в удел месяцы суетные, и ночи горестные отчислены мне. 4 Когда ложусь, то говорю: „когда-то встану?", а вечер длится, и яворочаюсь досыта до самого рассвета. 5 Тело мое одето червями и пыльными струпами; кожа моя лопается и гноится. 6 Дни мои бегут скорее челнока и кончаются без надежды. 7 Вспомни, что жизнь моя дуновение, что око мое не возвратится видеть доброе. 8 Не увидит меня око видевшего меня; очи Твои на меня, – и нет меня. 9 Редеет облако и уходит; так нисшедший в преисподнюю не выйдет, 10 не возвратится более в дом свой, и место его не будет уже знать его. 11 Не буду же я удерживать уст моих; буду говорить встеснении духа моего; буду жаловаться в горести душимоей. 12 Разве я море или морское чудовище, что Ты поставил надо мною стражу? 13 Когда подумаю: утешит меня постель моя, унесет горесть мою ложе мое, 14 ты страшишь меня снами и видениями пугаешь меня; 15 и душа моя желает лучше прекращения дыхания, лучше смерти, нежели сбережения костей моих. 16 Опротивела мне жизнь. Не вечно жить мне. Отступи от меня, ибо дни мои суета. 17 Что такое человек, что Ты столько ценишь его и обращаешь на него внимание Твое, 18 посещаешь его каждое утро, каждое мгновение испытываешь его? 19 Доколе же Ты не оставишь, доколе не отойдешь от меня, доколе не дашь мне проглотить слюну мою? 20 Если я согрешил, то что я сделаю Тебе, страж человеков! Зачем Ты поставил меня противником Себе, так что я стал самому себе в тягость? 21 И зачем бы не простить мне греха и не снять с меня беззакония моего? ибо, вот, я лягу в прахе; завтра поищешь меня, и меня нет.
Arabic(i) 1 أليس جهاد للانسان على الارض وكايام الاجير ايامه. 2 كما يتشوّق العبد الى الظل وكما يترجّى الاجير اجرته 3 هكذا تعين لي اشهر سوء وليالي شقاء قسمت لي. 4 اذا اضطجعت اقول متى اقوم. الليل يطول واشبع قلقا حتى الصبح. 5 لبس لحمي الدود مع مدر التراب. جلدي كرش وساخ. 6 ايامي اسرع من الوشيعة وتنتهي بغير رجاء 7 اذكر ان حياتي انما هي ريح وعيني لا تعود ترى خيرا. 8 لا تراني عين ناظري. عيناك عليّ ولست انا. 9 السحاب يضمحل ويزول. هكذا الذي ينزل الى الهاوية لا يصعد. 10 لا يرجع بعد الى بيته ولا يعرفه مكانه بعد. 11 انا ايضا لا امنع فمي. اتكلم بضيق روحي. اشكو بمرارة نفسي. 12 أبحر انا ام تنين حتى جعلت عليّ حارسا. 13 ان قلت فراشي يعزيني مضجعي ينزع كربتي 14 تريعني بالاحلام وترهبني برؤى 15 فاختارت نفسي الخنق الموت على عظامي هذه. 16 قد ذبت. لا الى الابد احيا. كف عني لان ايامي نفخة. 17 ما هو الانسان حتى تعتبره وحتى تضع عليه قلبك 18 وتتعهّده كل صباح وكل لحظة تمتحنه. 19 حتى متى لا تلتفت عني ولا ترخيني ريثما ابلع ريقي. 20 أأخطأت. ماذا افعل لك يا رقيب الناس. لماذا جعلتني عاثورا لنفسك حتى اكون على نفسي حملا. 21 ولماذا لا تغفر ذنبي ولا تزيل اثمي لاني الآن اضطجع في التراب. تطلبني فلا اكون
Bulgarian(i) 1 Животът на човека на земята не е ли воюване, и дните му не са ли като дните на наемник? 2 Както слуга, който жадува за сянката, и както наемник, който очаква заплатата си, 3 така и на мен се паднаха месеци на суета и ми се определиха нощи на страдание. 4 Когато си лягам, казвам: Кога ще стана и нощта ще отмине? И ми омръзна да се обръщам до зори. 5 Плътта ми е покрита с червеи и буци пръст, кожата ми се пука и гноясва. 6 Дните ми са по-бързи от совалка на тъкач и чезнат без надежда. 7 Помни, че животът ми е дъх! Окото ми няма вече да види добро. 8 Окото на онзи, който ме гледа, няма да ме види вече; очите ти са върху мен, а мен ме няма. 9 Както облакът се разсейва и изчезва, така и слизащият в Шеол няма да се изкачи обратно. 10 Няма вече да се върне у дома си и мястото му няма вече да го познае. 11 Затова и аз няма да въздържа устата си; ще говоря в притеснението на духа си, ще се оплаквам в горестта на душата си. 12 Море ли съм аз, или морско чудовище, че поставяш над мен стража? 13 Когато кажа: Леглото ми ще ме утеши, постелката ми ще облекчи оплакването ми. — 14 тогава ме плашиш със сънища и с видения ме ужасяваш, 15 така че душата ми предпочита удушване и смърт, вместо тези мои кости. 16 Дотегна ми; не искам да живея вечно. Остави ме, защото дните ми са суета. 17 Какво е човек, че го възвеличаваш и насочваш сърцето си към него, 18 и го посещаваш всяка заран, и го изпитваш всеки миг? 19 Докога няма да отместиш погледа Си от мен и няма да ме оставиш, колкото да преглътна слюнката си? 20 Ако съм съгрешил, какво съм ти направил, Наблюдателю на хората? Защо си ме поставил за Свой прицел, така че станах бреме за самия себе си? 21 И защо не прощаваш престъплението ми и не отнемаш беззаконието ми? Защото сега ще легна в пръстта и ще ме потърсиш, но няма да ме има.
Croatian(i) 1 Nije l' vojska život čovjekov na zemlji? Ne provodi l' dane poput najamnika? 2 Kao što trudan rob za hladom žudi, poput nadničara štono plaću čeka, 3 mjeseci jada tako me zapadoše i noći su mučne meni dosuđene. 4 Liježuć' mislim svagda: 'Kada ću ustati?' A dižuć se: 'Kada večer dočekati!' I tako se kinjim sve dok se ne smrkne. 5 PÓut moju crvi i blato odjenuše, koža na meni puca i raščinja se. 6 Dani moji brže od čunka prođoše, promakoše hitro bez ikakve nade. 7 Spomeni se: život moj je samo lahor i oči mi neće više vidjet' sreće! 8 Prijateljsko oko neće me gledati; pogled svoj u mene upro si te sahnem. 9 Kao što se oblak gubi i raspline, tko u Šeol siđe, više ne izlazi. 10 Domu svome natrag ne vraća se nikad, njegovo ga mjesto više ne poznaje. 11 Ustima ja svojim stoga branit' neću, u tjeskobi duha govorit ću sada, u gorčini duše ja ću zajecati. 12 Zar sam more ili neman morska, pa si stražu nada mnom stavio? 13 Kažem li: 'Na logu ću se smirit', ležaj će mi olakšati muke', 14 snovima me prestravljuješ tada, prepadaš me viđenjima mučnim. 15 Kamo sreće da mi se zadavit'! Smrt mi je od patnja mojih draža. 16 Ja ginem i vječno živjet neću; pusti me, tek dah su dani moji! 17 Što je čovjek da ga toliko ti cijeniš, da je srcu tvojem tako prirastao 18 i svakoga jutra da njega pohodiš i svakoga trena da ga iskušavaš? 19 Kada ćeš svoj pogled skinuti sa mene i dati mi barem pljuvačku progutat'? 20 Ako sam zgriješio, što učinih tebi, o ti koji pomno nadzireš čovjeka? Zašto si k'o metu mene ti uzeo, zbog čega sam tebi na teret postao? 21 Zar prijestupa moga ne možeš podnijeti i ne možeš prijeći preko krivnje moje? Jer, malo će proći i u prah ću leći, ti ćeš me tražiti, al' me biti neće."
BKR(i) 1 Zdaliž nemá vyměřeného času člověk na zemi? A dnové jeho jako dnové nájemníka. 2 Jako služebník, kterýž touží po stínu, a jako nájemník, jenž očekává skonání díla svého: 3 Tak jsou mi dědičně přivlastněni měsícové marní, a noci plné trápení jsou mi odečteny. 4 Jestliže ležím, říkám: Kdy vstanu? A pomine noc? Tak pln bývám myšlení až do svitání. 5 Tělo mé odíno jest červy a strupem i prachem, kůže má puká se a rozpouští. 6 Dnové moji rychlejší byli nežli člunek tkadlce, nebo stráveni jsou bez prodlení. 7 Rozpomeň se, ó Pane, že jako vítr jest život můj, a oko mé že více neuzří dobrých věcí, 8 Aniž mne spatří oko, jenž mne vídalo. Oči tvé budou ke mně, a mne již nebude. 9 Jakož oblak hyne a mizí, tak ten, kterýž sstupuje do hrobu, nevystoupí zase, 10 Aniž se opět navrátí do domu svého, aniž ho již více pozná místo jeho. 11 Protož nemohuť já zdržeti úst svých, mluvím v ssoužení ducha svého, naříkám v hořkosti duše své. 12 Zdali jsem já mořem čili velrybem, že jsi mne stráží osadil? 13 Když myslím: Potěší mne lůže mé, poodejme naříkání mého postel má: 14 Tedy mne strašíš sny, a viděními děsíš mne, 15 Tak že sobě zvoluje zaškrcení duše má, a smrt nad život. 16 Mrzí mne, nebuduť déle živ. Poodstupiž ode mne, nebo marní jsou dnové moji. 17 Co jest člověk, že ho sobě tak vážíš, a že tak o něj pečuješ? 18 A že ho navštěvuješ každého jitra, a každé chvíle jej zkušuješ? 19 Dokudž se neodvrátíš ode mne, a nedáš mi aspoň polknouti mé sliny? 20 Zhřešil jsem, což mám učiniti, ó strážce lidský? Proč jsi mne položil za cíl sobě, tak abych sám sobě byl břemenem? 21 Nýbrž proč neodejmeš přestoupení mého, a neodpustíš nepravosti mé? Nebo již v zemi lehnu. Potom bys mne i pilně hledal, nebude mne.
Danish(i) 1 Er et Menneske ikke i Strid paa Jorden, og hans Dage som en, Daglønners Dage? 2 Som en Arbejder, der higer efter Skyggen, og som en Daglønner, der venter paa sin Løn, 3 saaledes har jeg faaet mig Forfængeligheds Maaneder til Arv; og man har talt mig kummerfulde Nætter til. 4 Naar jeg lagde mig, da sagde jeg: Naar skal jeg staa op, og naar er Aftenen forbi? og jeg blev mæt af Uro inden Tusmørket. 5 Mit Kød er klædt med Orme og Jordskorpe; min Hud er sprukken og vædsker. 6 Mine Dage ere lettere end en Væverskytte; og de svinde hen uden Haab. 7 Kom i Hu, at mit Liv er et Aandepust: Mit Øje kommer ikke mere til at se godt. 8 Dens Øje, som ser mig, skal ikke mere skue mig; dine Øjne skulle se efter mlg, men jeg skal ikke findes. 9 En Sky forgaar og farer bort, ligesaa skal den, der farer ned til Dødsriget, ikke komme op igen. 10 Han skal ikke komme mere igen til sit Hus, og hans Sted skal ikke kende ham mere. 11 Derfor vil jeg ikke heller lægge Baand paa min Mund, jeg vil tale i min Aands Angest, jeg vil klage i min Sjæls Bitterhed. 12 Er jeg et Hav eller et Havuhyre, at du vil sætteVagt over mig, 13 Naar jeg sagde: Min Seng skal trøste mig; mit Leje skal lette min Klage; 14 da forskrækker du mig med Drømme og ved Syner forfærder du mig, 15 saa min Sjæl fortrækker at være kvalt; ja Døden fremfor disse mine Knokler. 16 Jeg er ked deraf; jeg vil ikke leve evindelig; lad af fra mig thi mine Dage ere Forfængelighed; 17 Hvad er et Menneske; at du agte ham stort; og at du vil lægge dig ham paa Hjerte? 18 og at du vil besøge ham hver Morgen og prøve ham hvert Øjeblik? 19 Hvorfor vil du ikke se bort fra mig? vil ikke lade mig Ro saa længe, at jeg kan synke mit Spyt? 20 Havde jeg syndet, hvad kunde jeg gøre dig, du Menneskenes Vogter? hvorfor har du sat mig til Anstød: for dig, at jeg er mig selv til en Byrde 21 Og hvorfor vil du ikke borttage min Overtrædelse og lade min Misgerning være tilgivet thi snart skal jeg ligge under Mulde, og naar du søger mig, da er jeg ikke mere.

Sed la vespero farigxas longa, kaj mi satigxas de maltrankvileco gxis la tagigxo. 5 Mia korpo estas kovrita de vermoj kaj de pecoj da tero; Mia hauxto krevis kaj putras. 6 Miaj tagoj forflugis pli facile, ol bobeno de teksisto, Kaj pasis, lasinte nenian esperon. 7 Memoru, ke mia vivo estas bloveto, Ke miaj okuloj ne plu revidos bonon; 8 Ne plu revidos min okulo de vidanto; Vi volos ekrigardi min, sed mi jam ne ekzistos. 9 Nubo pasas kaj foriras; Tiel ne plu revenas tiu, kiu iris en SXeolon; 10 Li ne plu revenas en sian domon; Lia loko ne plu rekonos lin. 11 Tial mi ne detenos mian busxon; Mi parolos en la premiteco de mia spirito, Mi plendos en la maldolcxeco de mia animo. 12 CXu mi estas maro aux mara monstro, Ke Vi starigis gardon por mi? 13 Kiam mi pensas, ke mia lito min konsolos, Ke mia kusxejo plifaciligos mian suferadon, 14 Tiam Vi teruras min per songxoj, Timigas min per vizioj; 15 Kaj mia animo deziras sufokigxon, Miaj ostoj la morton. 16 Tedis al mi; ne eterne mi vivu; Forlasu min, cxar miaj tagoj estas vantajxo. 17 Kio estas homo, ke Vi faras lin granda, Ke Vi zorgas pri li, 18 Ke Vi rememoras lin cxiumatene, Elprovas lin cxiumomente? 19 Kial Vi ne deturnas Vin de mi, Ne lasas min libera ecx tiom, ke mi povu engluti mian salivon? 20 Se mi pekis, kion mi per tio faris al Vi, ho gardanto de la homoj? Kial Vi faris min celo de Viaj atakoj, Ke mi farigxis sxargxo por mi mem? 21 Kaj kial Vi ne deprenas mian pekon, ne pardonas mian malbonagon?

Finnish(i) 1 Eikö ihminen aina pidä oleman sodassa maan päällä; ja hänen päivänsä ovat niinkuin orjan päivät? 2 Niinkuin palvelia halajaa varjoa, ja orja työnsä loppua, 3 Niin olen minä minulleni saanut turhat kuukaudet, ja minulla on monta murheellista yötä ollut. 4 Kuin minä levätä panin, sanoin minä: Koskahan minä nousen? ja sitte lueskelen, koska ehtoo tullee: minä olen ravittu kävellyksistä hamaan pimeyteen asti. 5 Minun lihani on puetettu madoilla ja maan tomulla; minun nahkani on ahvettunut ja hyljätyksi tullut. 6 Minun päiväni ovat lentäneet nopiammasti pois kuin syöstävä ja kuluneet ilman viivytystä. 7 Muista, että minun elämäni on tuuli, ja minun silmäni ei palaja hyvää näkemään. 8 Ja ei yksikään silmä, joka minun nyt näkee, pidä minua enempi näkemän. Sinun silmäs katsokoon minua, sitte minä hukun. 9 Pilvi raukee ja menee pois: niin myös se, joka menee alas hautaan, ei nouse jälleen, 10 Eikä palaja jälleen huoneesensa, ei myös hänen siansa häntä enää tunne. 11 Sentähden en minä estä suutani; minä puhun henkeni ahtaudessa, ja juttelen sieluni murheessa. 12 Olenko minä meri eli valaskala, että sinä minun niin kätket? 13 Kuin minä ajattelin: minun vuoteeni lohduttaa minun, ja minun kehtoni saattaa minulle levon, koska minä itselleni puhun; 14 Niin sinä peljätät minua unilla, ja kauhistat minua näyillä, 15 Että minun sieluni sois itsensä hirtetyksi, ja minun luuni kuolleiksi. 16 Minä kauhistun, enkä pyydä silleen elää: lakkaa minusta, sillä minun päiväni ovat turhat. 17 Mikä on ihminen,ettäs hänen suurena pidät, ja panet hänen sydämees? 18 Sinä etsit häntä joka päivä, ja koettelet häntä aina. 19 Miksi et minusta luovu, ja päästä minua, siihen asti että minä sylkeni nielisin? 20 Minä olen syntiä tehnyt; mitä minun pitää sinulle tekemän, o sinä ihmisten vartia? miksis minun teit sinulles loukkaukseksi ja itselleni kuormaksi? 21 Ja miksi et minun pahaa tekoani anna anteeksi ja ota pois minun vääryyttäni? Sillä nyt pitää minun makaaman mullassa: ja jos minua aamulla etsit, niin en minä enää ole.
FinnishPR(i) 1 "Eikö ihmisen olo maan päällä ole sotapalvelusta, eivätkö hänen päivänsä ole niinkuin palkkalaisen päivät? 2 Hän on orjan kaltainen, joka halajaa varjoon, ja niinkuin palkkalainen, joka odottaa palkkaansa. 3 Niin olen minä perinyt kurjuuden kuukaudet, ja vaivan yöt ovat minun osakseni tulleet. 4 Maata mennessäni minä ajattelen: Milloinka saan nousta? Ilta venyy, ja minä kyllästyn kääntelehtiessäni aamuhämärään asti. 5 Minun ruumiini verhoutuu matoihin ja tomukamaraan, minun ihoni kovettuu ja märkii. 6 Päiväni kiitävät nopeammin kuin sukkula, ne katoavat toivottomuudessa. 7 Muista, että minun elämäni on tuulen henkäys; minun silmäni ei enää saa onnea nähdä. 8 Ken minut näki, sen silmä ei minua enää näe; sinun silmäsi etsivät minua, mutta minua ei enää ole. 9 Pilvi häipyy ja menee menojaan; niin myös tuonelaan vaipunut ei sieltä nouse. 10 Ei hän enää palaja taloonsa, eikä hänen asuinpaikkansa häntä enää tunne. 11 Niin en minäkään hillitse suutani, minä puhun henkeni ahdistuksessa, minä valitan sieluni murheessa. 12 Olenko minä meri tai lohikäärme, että asetat vartioston minua vastaan? 13 Kun ajattelen: leposijani lohduttaa minua, vuoteeni huojentaa minun tuskaani, 14 niin sinä kauhistutat minua unilla ja peljästytät minua näyillä. 15 Mieluummin tukehdun, mieluummin kuolen, kuin näin luurankona kidun. 16 Olen kyllästynyt, en tahdo elää iankaiken; anna minun olla rauhassa, sillä tuulen henkäystä ovat minun päiväni. 17 Mikä on ihminen, että hänestä niin suurta lukua pidät ja että kiinnität häneen huomiosi, 18 tarkastat häntä joka aamu, tutkit häntä joka hetki? 19 Etkö koskaan käännä pois katsettasi minusta, etkö hellitä minusta sen vertaa, että saan sylkeni nielaistuksi? 20 Jos olenkin syntiä tehnyt, niin mitä olen sillä sinulle tehnyt, sinä ihmisten vartioitsija? Minkätähden asetit minut maalitauluksesi, ja minkätähden tulin itselleni taakaksi? 21 Minkätähden et anna rikostani anteeksi etkä poista pahaa tekoani? Sillä nyt minä menen levolle maan tomuun, ja jos etsit minua, niin ei minua enää ole."
Haitian(i) 1 Lavi yon nonm sou latè, se tankou sèvis militè l'ap fè. Li tankou moun k'ap vann jounen! 2 Li tankou yon esklav k'ap tann lannwit pou l' poze, tankou yon travayè k'ap tann kòb jounen travay li. 3 Depi kèk mwa, m' pa wè poukisa m'ap viv. Tout lannwit se soufri m'ap soufri. 4 M' poko kouche nan kabann mwen, m'ap mande kilè pou l' jou. Nwit la long. M' pa ka dòmi, yon bann vye lide ap pase nan tèt mwen jouk solèy leve. 5 Tout kò m' plen vè ak gwo plak bouton toupatou. Po m' fann fann, l'ap bay postim. 6 Jou m' yo pase pi vit pase zegwi nan men moun k'ap maye senn. Yo disparèt, pa gen anyen m'ap tann ankò. 7 Bondye o! Pa bliye, lavi m' tankou yon nwaj k'ap pase. Lè m'a fèmen je m', mwen p'ap janm kapab jwi lavi a ankò. 8 Ou wè m' koulye a, men ou p'ap janm wè m' ankò. W'a chache m', ou p'ap jwenn mwen. 9 Tankou yon nwaj ki ale nèt, ki disparèt, lè yon moun mouri, pa gen leve pou li ankò. 10 Li p'ap janm tounen lakay li. Moun lakay li tou bliye l'. 11 Se poutèt sa, m' pa ka pa pale. Kè m' sere. Kite m' pale pale m'. Lapenn kaye nan kè m'. Kite m' plenyen plenyen m'. 12 Poukisa ou mete moun veye m' konsa? M' pa lanmè. M' pa gwo bèt lanmè. 13 M' te di nan kè m': M' pral lage kò m' yon kote. M'a pran yon ti kanpo. Si m' dòmi, m'a jwenn yon ti soulajman! 14 Men, ou fè m' fè yon bann vye rèv k'ap fè m' pè. M'ap fè yon bann vye vizyon k'ap fè m' tranble. 15 Lè konsa, pito moun te trangle m'. Pito m' te mouri pase pou m' soufri tout doulè sa yo. 16 Se fini m'ap fini. Fòk mwen mouri yon jou! Kite m' pou kont mwen. Lavi m' prèt pou bout! 17 Kisa lèzòm ye pou ou pran ka yo konsa? Kisa yo ye menm pou w'ap okipe yo konsa? 18 Chak maten ou pase wè jan yo ye. Chak lè, w'ap gade nan fon kè yo, w'ap sonde yo. 19 Kilè w'a sispann gade m'? Ban m' yon ti souf non kont pou m' vale krache m'! 20 Si m' fè peche, kisa m' fè ou? Di m' non, ou menm k'ap veye tou sa moun ap fè? Poukisa w'ap plante tout flèch ou yo nan kò m' konsa? Poukisa ou fè m' tounen yon chay pou ou? 21 Se sipòte ou pa ka sipòte ankò sa mwen fè ki mal? Se padonnen ou pa ka padonnen peche m' yo? Talè konsa mwen pral anba tè. W'a chache m', ou p'ap jwenn mwen ankò.
Hungarian(i) 1 Nem rabszolga élete van-é az embernek a földön, és az õ napjai nem olyanok-é, mint a béresnek napjai? 2 A mint a szolga kívánja az árnyékot, és a mint a béres reményli az õ bérét: 3 Úgy részesültem én keserves hónapokban, és nyomorúságnak éjszakái jutottak számomra. 4 Ha lefekszem, azt mondom: mikor kelek föl? de hosszú az estve, és betelek a hánykolódással [reggeli] szürkületig. 5 Testem férgekkel van fedve és a pornak piszokjával; bõröm összehúzódik és meggennyed. 6 Napjaim gyorsabbak voltak a vetélõnél, és most reménység nélkül tünnek el. 7 Emlékezzél meg, hogy az én életem csak egy lehellet, és az én szemem nem lát többé jót. 8 Nem lát engem szem, a mely rám néz; te rám [veted] szemed, de már nem vagyok! 9 A felhõ eltünik és elmegy, így a ki leszáll a [sír]ba, nem jõ fel [többé]. 10 Nem tér vissza többé az õ hajlékába, és az õ helye nem ismeri õt többé. 11 Én sem tartóztatom hát meg az én számat; szólok az én lelkemnek fájdalmában, és panaszkodom az én szívemnek keserûségében. 12 Tenger vagyok-é én, avagy czethal, hogy õrt állítasz ellenem? 13 Mikor azt gondolom, megvigasztal engem az én nyoszolyám, megkönnyebbíti panaszolkodásomat az én ágyasházam: 14 Akkor álmokkal rettentesz meg engem és látásokkal háborítasz meg engem; 15 Úgy, hogy inkább választja lelkem a megfojtatást, inkább a halált, mint csontjaimat. 16 Utálom! Nem akarok örökké élni. Távozzál el tõlem, mert nyomorúság az én életem. 17 Micsoda az ember, hogy õt ily nagyra becsülöd, és hogy figyelmedet fordítod reá? 18 Meglátogatod õt minden reggel, és minden szempillantásban próbálod õt. 19 Míglen nem fordítod el tõlem szemedet, nem távozol csak addig is tõlem, a míg nyálamat lenyelem? 20 Vétkeztem! Mit cselekedjem én néked, oh embereknek õrizõje? Mért tettél ki czéltáblául magadnak? Mért legyek magamnak is terhére. 21 És mért nem bocsátod meg vétkemet és nem törlöd el az én bûnömet? Hiszen immár a porban fekszem, és ha keresel engem, nem leszek.
Indonesian(i) 1 Manusia itu seperti dipaksa berjuang; hidupnya berat seperti hidup seorang upahan; 2 seperti budak yang merindukan naungan; seperti buruh yang menantikan imbalan. 3 Bulan demi bulan hidupku tanpa tujuan; malam demi malam hatiku penuh kesedihan. 4 Bila aku pergi tidur, malam merentang panjang; kurindukan fajar, tak dapat kuberbaring tenang. 5 Tubuhku penuh cacing dan kerak darah; kulitku luka dan mengeluarkan nanah. 6 Hidupku yang tanpa harap itu melaju menuju akhirnya, lebih laju daripada penenun menjalankan sekocinya. 7 Ingatlah, ya Allah, hidupku hanya hembusan napas; kebahagiaanku hilang, tak meninggalkan bekas. 8 Kini Engkau melihat aku--tetapi itu tidak lama. Jika nanti aku Kaucari, maka sudah tiada. 9 Seperti awan yang meredup lalu menghilang, manusia pun mati, tak akan kembali pulang. Semua orang yang pernah mengenal dia, lupa kepadanya dan tak lagi mengingatnya. 10 (7:9) 11 Sebab itu aku tak dapat tinggal diam! Rasa pedih dan pahitku tak dapat kupendam. Aku harus membuka mulutku, dan mencurahkan isi hatiku. 12 Mengapa aku ini terus Kauawasi dan Kaujaga? Apakah aku ini naga laut yang berbahaya? 13 Aku berbaring dan mencoba melepaskan lelah; aku mencari keringanan bagi hatiku yang gundah. 14 Tetapi Kautakuti aku dengan impian; Kaudatangkan mimpi buruk dan khayalan. 15 Sehingga aku lebih suka dicekik lalu mati daripada hidup dalam tubuh penuh derita ini. 16 Aku lelah dan jemu hidup; aku ingin mati! Biarkan aku, sebab hidupku tidak berarti. 17 Mengapa manusia begitu penting bagi-Mu? Mengapa tindakannya Kauperhatikan selalu? 18 Kauselidiki dia setiap pagi, dan setiap saat dia Kauuji. 19 Kapankah Engkau berpaling daripadaku, sehingga sempat aku menelan ludahku? 20 Hai Penjagaku, rugikah Engkau karena dosaku? Mengapa Kaupakai aku sebagai sasaran panah-Mu? Begitu beratkah aku membebani diri-Mu? 21 Tidak dapatkah Engkau mengampuni dosaku? Tidak mungkinkah Engkau menghapuskan salahku? Sebentar lagi aku terbaring dalam kuburan, dan bila Kaucari aku, tak akan Kaudapatkan."
Italian(i) 1 Non ha l’uomo un termine della sua milizia in su la terra? E non sono i suoi giorni simili a quelli di un mercenario? 2 Come il servo aspira all’ombra, E il mercenario aspetta il premio della sua opera; 3 Così mi sono stati dati per eredità de’ mesi molesti; E mi sono state assegnate per parte mia notti penose. 4 Se mi son posto a giacere, dico: Quando mi leverò? Quando sarà passata la notte? E mi stanco di dimenarmi fino all’alba. 5 La mia carne è rivestita di vermini, e di gromma di terra; La mia pelle si schianta, e si disfa. 6 I miei giorni son passati via più leggermente che la spola del tessitore, E son venuti meno senza speranza. 7 Ricordati che la mia vita è un vento, Che l’occhio mio non tornerà più a vedere il bene. 8 L’occhio di chi mi vede non mi riguarderà più; Se tu rivolgi gli occhi verso me, io non sarò più. 9 Come la nuvola si dilegua, e se ne va via; Così chi scende nel sepolcro non ne salirà più fuori. 10 Egli non ritornerà più a casa sua, E il luogo suo non lo riconoscerà più. 11 Io altresì non ratterrò la mia bocca; Io parlerò nell’angoscia del mio spirito, Io mi lamenterò nell’amaritudine dell’anima mia. 12 Sono io un mare, o una balena, Che tu mi ponga guardia attorno? 13 Quando io dico: La mia lettiera mi darà alleggiamento, Il mio letto solleverà parte del mio lamento; 14 Allora tu mi sgomenti con sogni, E mi spaventi con visioni. 15 Talchè io nell’animo sceglierei innanzi di essere strangolato, E innanzi vorrei la morte che le mie ossa. 16 Io son tutto strutto; io non viverò in perpetuo; Cessati da me; conciossiachè i miei giorni non sieno altro che vanità. 17 Che cosa è l’uomo, che tu ne faccia sì grande stima, Che tu ponga mente ad esso? 18 E che tu lo visiti ogni mattina, E ad ogni momento l’esamini? 19 Fino a quando non ti rivolgerai indietro da me, E non mi darai alcuna posa, Tanto che io possa inghiottir la mia saliva? 20 Io ho peccato; che opererò inverso te, o Guardiano degli uomini? Perchè mi hai posto per tuo bersaglio, E perchè sono io grave a me stesso? 21 E perchè non perdoni il mio misfatto, E non rimuovi la mia iniquità? Conciossiachè di presente giacerò nella polvere; E, se poi tu mi ricerchi, io non sarò più.
ItalianRiveduta(i) 1 La vita dell’uomo sulla terra è una milizia; i giorni suoi son simili ai giorni d’un operaio. 2 Come lo schiavo anela l’ombra e come l’operaio aspetta il suo salario, 3 così a me toccan mesi di sciagura, e mi sono assegnate notti di dolore. 4 Non appena mi corico, dico: "Quando mi leverò?" Ma la notte si prolunga, e mi sazio d’agitazioni infino all’alba. 5 La mia carne è coperta di vermi e di croste terrose, la mia pelle si richiude, poi riprende a suppurare. 6 I miei giorni sen vanno più veloci della spola, si consumano senza speranza. 7 Ricordati, che la mia vita e un soffio! L’occhio mio non vedrà più il bene. 8 Lo sguardo di chi ora mi vede non mi potrà più scorgere; gli occhi tuoi mi cercheranno, ma io non sarò più. 9 La nuvola svanisce e si dilegua; così chi scende nel soggiorno de’ morti non ne risalirà; 10 non tornerà più nella sua casa, e il luogo ove stava non lo riconoscerà più. 11 Io, perciò, non terrò chiusa la bocca; nell’angoscia del mio spirito io parlerò, mi lamenterò nell’amarezza dell’anima mia. 12 Son io forse il mare o un mostro marino che tu ponga intorno a me una guardia? 13 Quando dico: "Il mio letto mi darà sollievo, il mio giaciglio allevierà la mia pena", 14 tu mi sgomenti con sogni, e mi spaventi con visioni; 15 sicché l’anima mia preferisce soffocare, preferisce a queste ossa la morte. 16 Io mi vo struggendo; non vivrò sempre; deh, lasciami stare; i giorni miei non son che un soffio. 17 Che cosa è l’uomo che tu ne faccia tanto caso, che tu ponga mente ad esso, 18 e lo visiti ogni mattina e lo metta alla prova ad ogni istante? 19 Quando cesserai di tener lo sguardo fisso su me? Quando mi darai tempo d’inghiottir la mia saliva? 20 Se ho peccato, che ho fatto a te, o guardiano degli uomini? Perché hai fatto di me il tuo bersaglio? A tal punto che son divenuto un peso a me stesso? 21 E perché non perdoni le mie trasgressioni e non cancelli la mia iniquità? Poiché presto giacerò nella polvere; e tu mi cercherai, ma io non sarò più".
Korean(i) 1 세상에 있는 인생에게 전쟁이 있지 아니하냐 ? 그 날이 품군의 날과 같지 아니하냐 ? 2 종은 저물기를 심히 기다리고 품군은 그 삯을 바라나니 3 이와 같이 내가 여러 달째 곤고를 받으니 수고로운 밤이 내게 작정되었구나 4 내가 누울 때면 말하기를 언제나 일어날꼬 언제나 밤이 갈꼬 하며 새벽까지 이리 뒤척, 저리 뒤척 하는구나 5 내 살에는 구더기와 흙 조각이 의복처럼 입혔고 내 가죽은 합창 되었다가 터지는구나 6 나의 날은 베틀의 북보다 빠르니 소망없이 보내는구나 7 내 생명이 한 호흡 같음을 생각하옵소서 ! 나의 눈이 다시 복된 것을 보지 못하리이다 8 나를 본 자의 눈이 다시는 나를 보지 못할 것이고 주의 눈이 나를 향하실지라도 내가 있지 아니하리이다 9 구름이 사라져 없어짐 같이 음부로 내려가는 자는 다시 올라오지 못할 것이오니 10 그는 다시 자기 집으로 돌아가지 못하겠고 자기 처소도 다시 그를 알지 못하리이다 11 그런즉 내가 내 입을 금하지 아니하고 내 마음의 아픔을 인하여 말하며 내 영혼의 괴로움을 인하여 원망하리이다 12 내가 바다니이까 ? 용이니이까 ? 주께서 어찌하여 나를 지키시나이까 ? 13 혹시 내가 말하기를 내 자리가 나를 위로하고 내 침상이 내 수심을 풀리라 할 때에 14 주께서 꿈으로 나를 놀래시고 이상으로 나를 두렵게 하시나이다 15 이러므로 내 마음에 숨이 막히기를 원하오니 뼈보다도 죽는 것이 나으니이다 16 내가 생명을 싫어하고 항상 살기를 원치 아니하오니 나를 놓으소서 내 날은 헛 것이니이다 17 사람이 무엇이관대 주께서 크게 여기사 그에게 마음을 두시고 18 아침마다 권징하시며 분초마다 시험하시나이까 ? 19 주께서 내게서 눈을 돌이키지 아니하시며 나의 침 삼킬 동안도 나를 놓지 아니하시기를 어느 때까지 하시리이까 ? 20 사람을 감찰하시는 자여 ! 내가 범죄하였은들 주께 무슨 해가 되오리이까 ? 어찌하여 나로 과녁을 삼으셔서 스스로 무거운 짐이 되게 하셨나이까 ? 21 주께서 어찌하여 내 허물을 사하여 주지 아니하시며 내 죄악을 제하여 버리지 아니 하시나이까 ? 내가 이제 흙에 누우리니 주께서 나를 부지런히 찾으실지라도 내가 있지 아니하리이다
Lithuanian(i) 1 “Ar nėra žmogui skirto laiko žemėje? Ar jo dienos nėra kaip samdinio dienos? 2 Kaip vergas trokšta pavėsio ir samdinys laukia algos, 3 taip aš gavau tuštybės mėnesius ir vargo naktys skirtos man. 4 Kai atsigulu, galvoju: ‘Kada pasibaigs naktis ir aš atsikelsiu?’ Taip aš vargstu ir kenčiu iki aušros. 5 Mano kūnas aplipęs kirmėlėmis ir purvais, mano oda sutrūkinėjusi ir susitraukusi. 6 Mano dienos greitesnės už audėjo šaudyklę ir baigiasi neviltimi. 7 Atsimink, kad mano gyvenimas tėra vėjas; mano akys neberegės gero. 8 Akys to, kuris mane matė, nebematys manęs; Tu žiūrėsi, bet manęs nebebus. 9 Kaip debesis nueina ir dingsta, taip nuėjęs į kapą nebesugrįžta. 10 Jis nebegrįš į savo namus, jo vieta nebepažins jo. 11 Aš neužversiu savo burnos, kalbėsiu dvasios skausme, skųsiuos savo sielos kartume. 12 Ar aš esu jūra, ar banginis, kad statai man sargybą? 13 Kai sakau: ‘Mano lova paguos mane, mano guolis palengvins mano skundą’, 14 Tu baugini mane sapnais ir gąsdini regėjimais. 15 Todėl mano siela pasirinktų būti pasmaugta, ir mirtis man geriau už gyvenimą. 16 Aš bjauriuosi juo ir nebenoriu gyventi.

PBG(i) 1 Izali czas nie jest zamierzony człowiekowi na ziemi? a jako dni najemnicze nie są dni jego? 2 Jako sługa pragnie cienia, a jako najemnik czeka końca pracy swojej: 3 Takiem ja prawem dziedzicznem wziął miesiące próżne, a nocy boleśne są mi naznaczone. 4 Układęli się, tedy mówię: Kiedyż wstanę? a rychło pominie noc? i pełen bywam myślenia aż do świtania. 5 Obleczone jest ciało moje w robaki i w plugastwo z prochu; skóra moja popadała się, i rozsiadła się. 6 Dni moje prędsze są, niż czółnek tkacki, i strawione są bez nadziei. 7 Wspomnij, o Panie! iż wiatrem jest żywot mój, nie wróci się oko moje, aby widziało dobre rzeczy. 8 Ani mię ogląda oko, które mię widywało; oczy twoje obrócone będą na mię, a mnie nie będzie. 9 Jako niszczeje obłok i przemija, tak zstępujący do grobu nie wynijdzie; 10 Nie wróci się więcej do domu swego, ani go więcej pozna miejsce jego. 11 Przetoż ja nie mogę zawściągnąć ust moich; mówić będę w utrapieniu ducha mego, będę rozmawiał w gorzkości duszy mojej. 12 Izażem ja jest morze, albo wieloryb, zasię mię osadził strażą? 13 Gdym rzekł: Pocieszy mię łoże moje, i ulży mi narzekania mego pościel moja: 14 Tedy mię straszysz przez sny, i przez widzenia trwożysz mną. 15 A przetoż obrała sobie powieszenie dusz moja, a śmierć raczej, niż zostać w kościach. 16 Sprzykrzyłem sobie żywot, nie wiecznie będę żyw. Zaniechajże mię, bo marnością są dni moje. 17 Cóż jest człowiek, że go tak wielce ważysz? a że przykładasz ku niemu serce twoje? 18 A że go nawiedzasz na każdy zaranek? i na każdą chwilę doświadczasz go? 19 Pokądże się nie odwrócisz odemnie? a nie zaniechasz mię, ażbym przełknął ślinę moję? 20 Zgrzeszyłem, cóż mam czynić? o stróżu ludzki! czemuś mię sobie za cel położył, abym był sam sobie ciężarem? 21 Przecz nie odejmiesz przestępstwa mego, i nie przepuścisz nieprawości mojej?

Portuguese(i) 1 Porventura não tem o homem duro serviço sobre a terra? E não são os seus dias como os do jornaleiro? 2 Como o escravo que suspira pela sombra, e como o jornaleiro que espera pela sua paga, 3 assim se me deram meses de escassez, e noites de aflição se me ordenaram. 4 Havendo-me deitado, digo: Quando me levantarei? Mas comprida é a noite, e farto-me de me revolver na cama até a alva. 5 A minha carne se tem vestido de vermes e de torrões de pó; a minha pele endurece, e torna a rebentar-se. 6 Os meus dias são mais velozes do que a lançadeira do tecelão, e chegam ao fim sem esperança. 7 Lembra-te de que a minha vida é um sopro; os meus olhos não tornarão a ver o bem. 8 Os olhos dos que agora me vêem não me verão mais; os teus olhos estarão sobre mim, mas não serei mais. 9 Tal como a nuvem se desfaz e some, aquele que desce à sepultura nunca tornará a subir. 10 Nunca mais tornará à sua casa, nem o seu lugar o conhecerá mais. 11 Por isso não reprimirei a minha boca; falarei na angústia do meu espírito, queixar-me-ei na amargura da minha alma. 12 Sou eu o mar, ou um monstro marinho, para que me ponhas uma guarda? 13 Quando digo: Confortar-me-á a minha cama, meu leito aliviará a minha queixa, 14 então me espantas com sonhos, e com visões me atemorizas; 15 de modo que eu escolheria antes a estrangulação, e a morte do que estes meus ossos. 16 A minha vida abomino; não quero viver para sempre; retira-te de mim, pois os meus dias são vaidade. 17 Que é o homem, para que tanto o engrandeças, e ponhas sobre ele o teu pensamento, 18 e cada manhã o visites, e cada momento o proves? 19 Até quando não apartarás de mim a tua vista, nem me largarás, até que eu possa engolir a minha saliva? 20 Se peco, que te faço a ti, ó vigia dos homens? Por que me fizeste alvo dos teus dardos? Por que a mim mesmo me tornei pesado? 21 Por que me não perdoas a minha transgressão, e não tiras a minha iniquidade? Pois agora me deitarei no pó; tu me buscarás, porém eu não serei mais.
Norwegian(i) 1 Er ikke et menneskes liv på jorden en krigstjeneste, og hans dager som en dagarbeiders dager? 2 Lik en træl som higer efter skygge, og lik en dagarbeider som venter på sin lønn, 3 således har jeg fått i eie måneder fulle av nød, og møiefulle netter er falt i min lodd. 4 Når jeg legger mig, da sier jeg: Når skal jeg stå op? Og lang blir aftenen, og jeg blir trett av å kaste mig hit og dit inntil morgenlysningen. 5 Mitt kjøtt er klædd med makk og med skorper som av jord; min hud skrukner og brister. 6 Mine dager farer hurtigere avsted enn en veverskyttel, og de svinner bort uten håp. 7 Kom i hu at mitt liv er et pust! Aldri mere skal mitt øie se noget godt. 8 Den som nu ser mig, skal ikke mere få øie på mig; når dine øine søker efter mig, er jeg ikke mere. 9 En sky blir borte og farer avsted; således er det med den som farer ned til dødsriket - han stiger ikke op derfra, 10 han vender ikke mere tilbake til sitt hus, og hans sted kjenner ham ikke lenger. 11 Så vil da heller ikke jeg legge bånd på min munn; jeg vil tale i min ånds trengsel, jeg vil klage i min sjels bitre smerte. 12 Er jeg et hav eller et havuhyre, siden du setter vakt over mig? 13 Når jeg sier: Min seng skal trøste mig, mitt leie skal hjelpe mig å bære min sorg, 14 da skremmer du mig med drømmer og forferder mig med syner. 15 Derfor foretrekker min sjel å kveles - heller døden enn disse avmagrede ben! 16 Jeg er kjed av dette; jeg lever ikke evindelig; la mig være, for mine dager er et pust. 17 Hvad er et menneske, at du gir så meget akt på ham og retter dine tanker på ham, 18 at du opsøker ham hver morgen og prøver ham hvert øieblikk? 19 Hvor lenge skal det vare før du vender dine øine bort fra mig? Vil du ikke slippe mig til jeg får svelget mitt spytt? 20 Har jeg syndet, hvad ondt gjorde jeg da mot dig, du menneskevokter? Hvorfor har du gjort mig til skive for dig, så jeg er mig selv til byrde? 21 Og hvorfor tilgir du ikke min brøde og forlater mig min misgjerning? For nu må jeg legge mig i støvet; når du søker mig, er jeg ikke mere.
Romanian(i) 1 Soarta omului pe pămînt este ca a unui ostaş, şi zilele lui sînt ca ale unui muncitor cu ziua. 2 Cum suspină robul după umbră, cum îşi aşteaptă muncitorul plata, 3 aşa am eu parte de luni de durere, şi partea mea sînt nopţi de suferinţă. 4 Mă culc, şi zic:,Cînd mă voi scula? Cînd se va sfîrşi noaptea?` Şi mă satur de frămîntări pînă în revărsatul zorilor. 5 Trupul mi se acopere cu viermi şi cu o coajă pămîntoasă, pielea-mi crapă şi se desface. 6 Zilele mele sboară mai iuţi decît suveica ţesătorului, se duc şi nu mai am nicio nădejde! 7 Adu-Ţi aminte, Dumnezeule, că viaţa mea este doar o suflare! Ochii mei nu vor mai vedea fericirea. 8 Ochiul, care mă priveşte, nu mă va mai privi; ochiul tău mă va căuta, şi nu voi mai fi. 9 Cum se risipeşte norul şi trece, aşa nu se va mai ridica celce se pogoară în Locuinţa morţilor! 10 Nu se va mai întoarce în casa lui, şi nu-şi va mai cunoaşte locul în care locuia. 11 De aceea nu-mi voi ţinea gura, ci voi vorbi în neliniştea inimii mele, mă voi tîngui în amărăciunea sufletului meu. 12 Oare o mare sînt eu, sau un balaur de mare, de-ai pus strajă în jurul meu? 13 Cînd zic:,Patul mă va uşura, culcuşul îmi va alina durerile,` 14 atunci mă înspăimînţi prin visuri, mă îngrozeşti prin vedenii. 15 Ah! aş vrea mai bine gîtuirea, mai bine moartea decît aceste oase! 16 Le dispreţuiesc!... nu voi trăi în veci... Lasă-mă, căci doar o suflare mi -i viaţa! 17 Ce este omul, ca să-Ţi pese atît de mult de el, ca să iei seama la el, 18 să -l cercetezi în toate dimineţile, şi să -l încerci în toate clipele? 19 Cînd vei înceta odată să mă priveşti? Cînd îmi vei da răgaz să-mi înghit scuipatul? 20 Dacă am păcătuit, ce pot să-Ţi fac, Păzitorul oamenilor? Pentruce m'ai pus ţintă săgeţilor Tale, de am ajuns o povară chiar pentru mine însumi? 21 Pentruce nu-mi ierţi păcatul, şi pentruce nu-mi uiţi fărădelegea? Căci voi adormi în ţărînă, şi cînd mă vei căuta, nu voi mai fi!``
Ukrainian(i) 1 Хіба чоловік на землі не на службі військовій? І його дні як дні наймита!... 2 Як раб, спрагнений тіні, і як наймит чекає заплати за працю свою, 3 так місяці марности дано в спадок мені, та ночі терпіння мені відлічили... 4 Коли я кладусь, то кажу: Коли встану? І тягнеться вечір, і перевертання із боку на бік їм до ранку... 5 Зодяглось моє тіло червою та струпами в поросі, шкіра моя затверділа й бридка... 6 А дні мої стали швидчіші за ткацького човника, і в марнотній надії минають вони... 7 Пам'ятай, що життя моє вітер, моє око вже більш не побачить добра... 8 Не побачить мене око того, хто бачив мене, Твої очі поглянуть на мене та немає мене... 9 Як хмара зникає й проходить, так хто сходить в шеол, не виходить, 10 не вертається вже той до дому свого, та й його не пізнає вже місце його... 11 Тож не стримаю я своїх уст, говоритиму в утиску духа свого, нарікати я буду в гіркоті своєї душі: 12 Чи я море чи морська потвора, що Ти надо мною сторожу поставив? 13 Коли я кажу: Нехай постіль потішить мене, хай думки мої ложе моє забере, 14 то Ти снами лякаєш мене, і видіннями страшиш мене... 15 І душа моя прагне задушення, смерти хочуть мої кості. 16 Я обридив життям... Не повіки ж я житиму!... Відпусти ж Ти мене, бо марнота оці мої дні!... 17 Що таке чоловік, що його Ти підносиш, що серце Своє прикладаєш до нього? 18 Ти щоранку за ним назираєш, щохвилі його Ти досліджуєш... 19 Як довго від мене ще Ти не відвернешся, не пустиш мене проковтнути хоч слину свою? 20 Я згрішив... Що ж я маю робити, о Стороже людський? Чому Ти поклав мене ціллю для Себе, і я стався собі тягарем? 21 І чому Ти не простиш мойого гріха, і не відкинеш провини моєї? А тепер я до пороху ляжу, і Ти будеш шукати мене, та немає мене...
