1“Is not all human life a struggle? Our lives are like that of a hired hand,1הֲלֹא־ צָבָ֣א לֶאֱנ֣וֹשׁ [על־] (עֲלֵי־) אָ֑רֶץ וְכִימֵ֖י שָׂכִ֣יר יָמָֽיו׃
2like a worker who longs for the shade, like a servant waiting to be paid.2כְּעֶ֥בֶד יִשְׁאַף־ צֵ֑ל וּ֝כְשָׂכִ֗יר יְקַוֶּ֥ה פָעֳלֽוֹ׃
3I, too, have been assigned months of futility, long and weary nights of misery.3כֵּ֤ן הָנְחַ֣לְתִּי לִ֭י יַרְחֵי־ שָׁ֑וְא וְלֵיל֥וֹת עָ֝מָ֗ל מִנּוּ־ לִֽי׃
4Lying in bed, I think, ‘When will it be morning?’ But the night drags on, and I toss till dawn.4אִם־ שָׁכַ֗בְתִּי וְאָמַ֗רְתִּי מָתַ֣י אָ֭קוּם וּמִדַּד־ עָ֑רֶב וְשָׂבַ֖עְתִּי נְדֻדִ֣ים עֲדֵי־ נָֽשֶׁף׃
5My body is covered with maggots and scabs. My skin breaks open, oozing with pus. Job Cries Out to God5לָ֘בַ֤שׁ בְּשָׂרִ֣י רִ֭מָּה [וגיש] (וְג֣וּשׁ) עָפָ֑ר עוֹרִ֥י רָ֝גַ֗ע וַיִּמָּאֵֽס׃
6“My days fly faster than a weaver’s shuttle. They end without hope.6יָמַ֣י קַ֭לּוּ מִנִּי־ אָ֑רֶג וַ֝יִּכְל֗וּ בְּאֶ֣פֶס תִּקְוָֽה׃
7O God, remember that my life is but a breath, and I will never again feel happiness.7זְ֭כֹר כִּי־ ר֣וּחַ חַיָּ֑י לֹא־ תָשׁ֥וּב עֵ֝ינִ֗י לִרְא֥וֹת טֽוֹב׃
8You see me now, but not for long. You will look for me, but I will be gone.8לֹֽא־ תְ֭שׁוּרֵנִי עֵ֣ין רֹ֑אִי עֵינֶ֖יךָ בִּ֣י וְאֵינֶֽנִּי׃
9Just as a cloud dissipates and vanishes, those who die will not come back.9כָּלָ֣ה עָ֭נָן וַיֵּלַ֑ךְ כֵּ֥ן יוֹרֵ֥ד שְׁ֝א֗וֹל לֹ֣א יַעֲלֶֽה׃
10They are gone forever from their home— never to be seen again.10לֹא־ יָשׁ֣וּב ע֣וֹד לְבֵית֑וֹ וְלֹא־ יַכִּירֶ֖נּוּ ע֣וֹד מְקֹמֽוֹ׃
11“I cannot keep from speaking. I must express my anguish. My bitter soul must complain.11גַּם־ אֲנִי֮ לֹ֤א אֶחֱשָׂ֫ךְ פִּ֥י אֲ‍ֽ֭דַבְּרָה בְּצַ֣ר רוּחִ֑י אָ֝שִׂ֗יחָה בְּמַ֣ר נַפְשִֽׁי׃
12Am I a sea monster or a dragon that you must place me under guard?12הֲ‍ֽיָם־ אָ֭נִי אִם־ תַּנִּ֑ין כִּֽי־ תָשִׂ֖ים עָלַ֣י מִשְׁמָֽר׃
13I think, ‘My bed will comfort me, and sleep will ease my misery,’13כִּֽי־ אָ֭מַרְתִּי תְּנַחֲמֵ֣נִי עַרְשִׂ֑י יִשָּׂ֥א בְ֝שִׂיחִ֗י מִשְׁכָּבִֽי׃
14but then you shatter me with dreams and terrify me with visions.14וְחִתַּתַּ֥נִי בַחֲלֹמ֑וֹת וּֽמֵחֶזְיֹנ֥וֹת תְּבַעֲתַֽנִּי׃
15I would rather be strangled— rather die than suffer like this.15וַתִּבְחַ֣ר מַחֲנָ֣ק נַפְשִׁ֑י מָ֝֗וֶת מֵֽעַצְמוֹתָֽי׃
16I hate my life and don’t want to go on living. Oh, leave me alone for my few remaining days.16מָ֭אַסְתִּי לֹא־ לְעֹלָ֣ם אֶֽחְיֶ֑ה חֲדַ֥ל מִ֝מֶּ֗נִּי כִּי־ הֶ֥בֶל יָמָֽי׃
17“What are people, that you should make so much of us, that you should think of us so often?17מָֽה־ אֱ֭נוֹשׁ כִּ֣י תְגַדְּלֶ֑נּוּ וְכִי־ תָשִׁ֖ית אֵלָ֣יו לִבֶּֽךָ׃
18For you examine us every morning and test us every moment.18וַתִּפְקְדֶ֥נּוּ לִבְקָרִ֑ים לִ֝רְגָעִ֗ים תִּבְחָנֶֽנּוּ׃
19Why won’t you leave me alone, at least long enough for me to swallow!19כַּ֭מָּה לֹא־ תִשְׁעֶ֣ה מִמֶּ֑נִּי לֹֽא־ תַ֝רְפֵּ֗נִי עַד־ בִּלְעִ֥י רֻקִּֽי׃
20If I have sinned, what have I done to you, O watcher of all humanity? Why make me your target? Am I a burden to you?20חָטָ֡אתִי מָ֤ה אֶפְעַ֨ל ׀ לָךְ֮ נֹצֵ֪ר הָאָ֫דָ֥ם לָ֤מָה שַׂמְתַּ֣נִי לְמִפְגָּ֣ע לָ֑ךְ וָאֶהְיֶ֖ה עָלַ֣י לְמַשָּֽׂא׃
21Why not just forgive my sin and take away my guilt? For soon I will lie down in the dust and die. When you look for me, I will be gone.”21וּמֶ֤ה ׀ לֹא־ תִשָּׂ֣א פִשְׁעִי֮ וְתַעֲבִ֪יר אֶת־ עֲוֺ֫נִ֥י כִּֽי־ עַ֭תָּה לֶעָפָ֣ר אֶשְׁכָּ֑ב וְשִׁ֖חֲרְתַּ֣נִי וְאֵינֶֽנִּי׃ פ
