Job 7
1 Is there not an appointed time to man vpon earth? and are not his dayes as the dayes of an hyreling?
Lavi yon nonm sou latè, se tankou sèvis militè l'ap fè. Li tankou moun k'ap vann jounen!
2 As a seruant longeth for the shadowe, and as an hyreling looketh for the ende of his worke,
Li tankou yon esklav k'ap tann lannwit pou l' poze, tankou yon travayè k'ap tann kòb jounen travay li.
3 So haue I had as an inheritance the moneths of vanitie, and painefull nights haue bene appointed vnto me.
Depi kèk mwa, m' pa wè poukisa m'ap viv. Tout lannwit se soufri m'ap soufri.
4 If I layed me downe, I sayde, When shall I arise? and measuring the euening I am euen full with tossing to and from vnto the dawning of the day.
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 My flesh is clothed with wormes and filthinesse of the dust: my skinne is rent, and become horrible.
Tout kò m' plen vè ak gwo plak bouton toupatou. Po m' fann fann, l'ap bay postim.
6 My dayes are swifter then a weauers shittle, and they are spent without hope.
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 Remember that my life is but a wind, and that mine eye shall not returne to see pleasure.
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 The eye that hath seene me, shall see me no more: thine eyes are vpon me, and I shall be no longer.
Ou wè m' koulye a, men ou p'ap janm wè m' ankò. W'a chache m', ou p'ap jwenn mwen.
9 As the cloude vanisheth and goeth away, so he that goeth downe to the graue, shall come vp no more. (Sheol h7585)
Tankou yon nwaj ki ale nèt, ki disparèt, lè yon moun mouri, pa gen leve pou li ankò. (Sheol h7585)
10 He shall returne no more to his house, neither shall his place knowe him any more.
Li p'ap janm tounen lakay li. Moun lakay li tou bliye l'.
11 Therefore I will not spare my mouth, but will speake in the trouble of my spirite, and muse in the bitternesse of my minde.
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 Am I a sea or a whalefish, that thou keepest me in warde?
Poukisa ou mete moun veye m' konsa? M' pa lanmè. M' pa gwo bèt lanmè.
13 When I say, My couch shall relieue me, and my bed shall bring comfort in my meditation,
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 Then fearest thou me with dreames, and astonishest me with visions.
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 Therefore my soule chuseth rather to be strangled and to die, then to be in my bones.
Lè konsa, pito moun te trangle m'. Pito m' te mouri pase pou m' soufri tout doulè sa yo.
16 I abhorre it, I shall not liue alway: spare me then, for my dayes are but vanitie.
Se fini m'ap fini. Fòk mwen mouri yon jou! Kite m' pou kont mwen. Lavi m' prèt pou bout!
17 What is man, that thou doest magnifie him, and that thou settest thine heart vpon him?
Kisa lèzòm ye pou ou pran ka yo konsa? Kisa yo ye menm pou w'ap okipe yo konsa?
18 And doest visite him euery morning, and tryest him euery moment?
Chak maten ou pase wè jan yo ye. Chak lè, w'ap gade nan fon kè yo, w'ap sonde yo.
19 Howe long will it be yer thou depart from me? thou wilt not let me alone whiles I may swallowe my spettle.
Kilè w'a sispann gade m'? Ban m' yon ti souf non kont pou m' vale krache m'!
20 I haue sinned, what shall I do vnto thee? O thou preseruer of me, why hast thou set me as a marke against thee, so that I am a burden vnto my selfe?
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 And why doest thou not pardon my trespasse? and take away mine iniquitie? for nowe shall I sleepe in the dust, and if thou seekest me in the morning, I shall not be found.
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.
