Job 14:1

“Man, who is born of a woman,Is short-lived and full of turmoil.

Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.

1-17 “We’re all adrift in the same boat: too few days, too many troubles.We spring up like wildflowers in the desert and then wilt, transient as the shadow of a cloud.Do you occupy your time with such fragile wisps? Why even bother hauling me into court?There’s nothing much to us to start with; how do you expect us to amount to anything?Mortals have a limited life span. You’ve already decided how long we’ll live— you set the boundary and no one can cross it.So why not give us a break? Ease up! Even ditchdiggers get occasional days off.For a tree there is always hope. Chop it down and it still has a chance— its roots can put out fresh sprouts.Even if its roots are old and gnarled, its stump long dormant,At the first whiff of water it comes to life, buds and grows like a sapling.But men and women? They die and stay dead. They breathe their last, and that’s it.Like lakes and rivers that have dried up, parched reminders of what once was,So mortals lie down and never get up, never wake up again—never.Why don’t you just bury me alive, get me out of the way until your anger cools?But don’t leave me there! Set a date when you’ll see me again.If we humans die, will we live again? That’s my question. All through these difficult days I keep hoping, waiting for the final change—for resurrection!Homesick with longing for the creature you made, you’ll call—and I’ll answer!You’ll watch over every step I take, but you won’t keep track of my missteps.My sins will be stuffed in a sack and thrown into the sea—sunk in deep ocean.

“How frail is humanity! How short is life, how full of trouble!

الإِنْسَانُ مَوْلُودُ الْمَرْأَةِ. قَصِيرُ الْعُمْرِ وَمُفْعَمٌ بِالشَّقَاءِ،

Et menneskeliv er kun ganske kort, men alligevel har vi masser af problemer.

»Wie vergänglich ist der Mensch!Wie kurz sind seine Jahre!Wie mühsam ist sein Leben!

»Pocos son los días, y muchos los problemas, que vive el hombre nacido de mujer.

»Pocos son los días, y muchos los problemas, que vive el hombre nacido de mujer.

“Kami nga mga tawo malip-ot lang ang amon kabuhi, kag madamo kami sang kalisod.

“여인에게서 난 사람은 사는 날이 적고 괴로움이 가득하며

‘Wat is een mens toch kwetsbaar! Zijn leven is maar kort en onrustig.

“O homem nascido de mulher vive pouco tempoe passa por muitas dificuldades.

Como é frágil o ser humano;são bem poucos os seus dias e cheios de inquietação!

Omul născut din femeie are zile puţine, dar pline de necaz.

У рождённого женщиной человека короток век, но полон скорбями.

“人为妇人所生，一生短暂，充满患难。

人 为 妇 人 所 生 ， 日 子 短 少 ， 多 有 患 难 ；

「人為婦人所生，一生短暫，充滿患難。
