Maikli ang Buhay ng Tao
14 “Ang(A) buhay ng tao'y maikli lamang,
subalit punung-puno ng kahirapan.
2 Tulad ng bulaklak na namumukadkad, nalalanta at nalalagas,
parang aninong nagdaraan, naglalaho at napaparam.
3 Titingnan mo pa ba ang ganitong nilalang?
Dadalhin mo pa ba siya sa hukuman?
4 Mayroon bang malinis na magmumula,
sa taong marumi at masama?
5 Sa simula pa'y itinakda na ang kanyang araw,
at bilang na rin ang kanyang mga buwan,
nilagyan mo na siya ng hangganan na hindi niya kayang lampasan.
6 Lubayan mo na siya at pabayaan,
nang makatikim naman kahit kaunting kaginhawahan.
7 “Kahoy na pinutol ay may pag-asa,
muli itong tutubo at magsasanga.
8 Kahit pa ang ugat nito ay matanda na,
at mamatay ang puno sa kinatatamnan niya,
9 ngunit ito'y nag-uusbong kapag diniligan, ito'y magsasanga tulad ng batang halaman.
10 Ngunit ang tao kapag namatay, iyon na ang kanyang katapusan,
pagkalagot ng kanyang hininga, saan naman kaya siya pupunta?
11 “Tulad ng ilog na tumigil sa pag-agos,
at gaya ng lawa na ang tubig ay naubos.
12 Ngunit ang tao kapag namatay hindi na babangon
hanggang ang langit ay maparam.
13 Itago mo na sana ako sa daigdig ng mga patay,
hanggang sa ang poot mo'y mapawi nang lubusan,
at muli mong maalala ang aking kalagayan.
14 Kung ang tao ay mamatay, siya kaya'y muling mabubuhay?
Ngunit para sa akin, paglaya ko sa hirap ay aking hihintayin.
15 Ikaw ay tatawag at ako'y sasagot,
sa iyong nilikha, ikaw ay malulugod.
16 Kung magkagayon, bawat hakbang ko'y iyong babantayan,
di mo na tatandaan ang aking mga kasalanan.
17 Ang mga kasalanan ko'y iyong patatawarin,
lahat ng kasamaan ko'y iyong papawiin.
18 “Darating ang araw na guguho ang kabundukan,
malilipat ng lugar mga batong naglalakihan.
19 Sa buhos ng tubig, ang bato ay naaagnas,
ang lupang matigas sa baha ay natitibag,
gayon ang pag-asa ng tao, kapag iyong winasak.
20 Nilulupig mo ang tao at tuluyang naglalaho,
sa sandali ng kamatayan nagbabago ang kanyang anyo.
21 Anak man niya'y parangalan, hindi na niya malalaman,
hindi na rin mababatid kung bigyan silang kahihiyan.
22 Ang kanya lamang nadarama ay sakit ng sariling katawan,
ang tanging iniisip ay ang sariling kalungkutan.”
Job 14
New International Version
Job 14
New International Version
14 “Mortals, born of woman,(A)
are of few days(B) and full of trouble.(C)
2 They spring up like flowers(D) and wither away;(E)
like fleeting shadows,(F) they do not endure.(G)
3 Do you fix your eye on them?(H)
Will you bring them[a] before you for judgment?(I)
4 Who can bring what is pure(J) from the impure?(K)
No one!(L)
5 A person’s days are determined;(M)
you have decreed the number of his months(N)
and have set limits he cannot exceed.(O)
6 So look away from him and let him alone,(P)
till he has put in his time like a hired laborer.(Q)
7 “At least there is hope for a tree:(R)
If it is cut down, it will sprout again,
and its new shoots(S) will not fail.(T)
8 Its roots may grow old in the ground
and its stump(U) die in the soil,
9 yet at the scent of water(V) it will bud
and put forth shoots like a plant.(W)
10 But a man dies and is laid low;(X)
he breathes his last and is no more.(Y)
11 As the water of a lake dries up
or a riverbed becomes parched and dry,(Z)
12 so he lies down and does not rise;(AA)
till the heavens are no more,(AB) people will not awake
or be roused from their sleep.(AC)
13 “If only you would hide me in the grave(AD)
and conceal me till your anger has passed!(AE)
If only you would set me a time
and then remember(AF) me!(AG)
14 If someone dies, will they live again?
All the days of my hard service(AH)
I will wait for my renewal[b](AI) to come.
15 You will call and I will answer you;(AJ)
you will long for the creature your hands have made.(AK)
16 Surely then you will count my steps(AL)
but not keep track of my sin.(AM)
17 My offenses will be sealed(AN) up in a bag;(AO)
you will cover over my sin.(AP)
18 “But as a mountain erodes and crumbles(AQ)
and as a rock is moved from its place,(AR)
19 as water wears away stones
and torrents(AS) wash away the soil,(AT)
so you destroy a person’s hope.(AU)
20 You overpower them once for all, and they are gone;(AV)
you change their countenance and send them away.(AW)
21 If their children are honored, they do not know it;
if their offspring are brought low, they do not see it.(AX)
22 They feel but the pain of their own bodies(AY)
and mourn only for themselves.(AZ)”
