¹“Mano kvėpavimas nusilpo, dienos trumpėja, kapai paruošti man.

¹“My spirit is consumed. My days are extinct, And the grave is ready for me.

²Mane apspito išjuokėjai, mano akys pavargo bežiūrėdamos į juos.

²Surely there are mockers with me. My eye dwells on their provocation.

³Tu pats laiduok už mane, nes kas kitas paduos man ranką?

³“Now give a pledge, be collateral for me with yourself. Who is there who will strike hands with me?

⁴Tu paslėpei supratimą nuo jų širdžių, todėl jų neišaukštinsi.

⁴For you have hidden their heart from understanding, Therefore you shall not exalt them.

⁵Kas pataikauja savo draugams, to vaikai nesidžiaugs laimikiu.

⁵He who denounces his friends for a prey, Even the eyes of his children shall fail.

⁶Jis padarė mane priežodžiu žmonėms, visi spjaudo man į veidą.

⁶“But he has made me a byword of the people. They spit in my face.

⁷Mano akys aptemo nuo sielvarto, mano kūnas kaip šešėlis.

⁷My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow. All my members are as a shadow.

⁸Teisieji pasibaisės tuo, o nekaltieji pakils prieš veidmainius.

⁸Upright men shall be astonished at this. The innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.

⁹Teisusis laikysis savo kelio, o tas, kurio rankos švarios, stiprės ir stiprės.

⁹Yet shall the righteous hold on his way. He who has clean hands shall grow stronger and stronger.

¹⁰Ateikite jūs visi dar kartą, nes tarp jūsų nerandu nė vieno išmintingo.

¹⁰But as for you all, come on now again; I shall not find a wise man among you.

¹¹Mano dienos praėjo; sumanymai ir mano širdies siekiai sudužo.

¹¹My days are past, my plans are broken off, as are the thoughts of my heart.

¹²Jie naktį padarė diena, tačiau trūksta šviesos tamsoje.

¹²They change the night into day, saying ‘The light is near’ in the presence of darkness.

¹³Ko gi aš dar laukiu? Mano namai yra kapas; aš savo guolį pasiklojau tamsoje.

¹³If I look for Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. as my house, if I have spread my couch in the darkness,

¹⁴Sugedimą aš vadinu tėvu, o kirmėles­motina ir seserimi.

¹⁴If I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father;’ to the worm, ‘My mother,’ and ‘my sister;’

¹⁵Kur yra mano viltis? Kas pamatys, kuo viliuosi?

¹⁵where then is my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?

¹⁶Ji nueis su manimi į gelmes ir ilsėsis su manimi dulkėse”.

¹⁶Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. , or descend together into the dust?”
