¹“Man, who is born of a woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.

¹Eb li cristian li nequeßyoßla saß ruchichßochß incßaß najt rok lix yußameb ut nabal raylal nequeßxcßul.

²He comes forth like a flower, and is cut down. He also flees like a shadow, and doesn’t continue.

²Lix yußameb aßan chanchan li utzßußuj napuqßueß ut junpât natzßumar. Saß junpât na-osoß ut incßaß chic nacuan.

³Do you open your eyes on such a one, and bring me into judgment with you?

³Lâin yal cuînkin. ¿Cßaßut nak tento tattzßilok âtin chicuix ut tatrakok âtin saß inbên?

⁴Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.

⁴¿Ma naru ta biß nacuan li us riqßuineb li incßaß useb xnaßleb? Mâ jokße.

⁵Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with you, and you have appointed his bounds that he can’t pass;

⁵Ac chßolchßo châcuu joß najtil teßcuânk xyußam li cristian saß ruchichßochß. Ut li cßaßru nacaye lâat, mâ ani naru tâjalok re.

⁶Look away from him, that he may rest, until he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.

⁶Cui joßcan lix yußameb li cristian, canab xqßuebal raylal saß xbêneb re nak teßxyal caßchßinak xsahil li cßanjel nequeßxbânu nak toj mâjiß nequeßcam.

⁷“For there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, that the tender branch of it will not cease.

⁷Nak nayoqßueß junak li cheß incßaß nacam chi junaj cua xban nak nacana lix tônal. Ut lix tônal aßan na-el cuißchic xtux.

⁸Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stock dies in the ground,

⁸Usta ac yôk chi chakic lix xeß li cheß, ut usta ac yôk chi kßâc lix tônal saß chßochß,

⁹yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a plant.

⁹abanan nak tixqßue li hab saß xbên târaxokß cuißchic ru. Chanchanak chic jun tôn li acuîmk toj x-auman.

¹⁰But man dies, and is laid low. Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?

¹⁰Abanan eb li cristian nak nequeßcam, nequeßosoß chi junaj cua. Ut, ¿bar nequeßxic nak nequeßcam?

¹¹As the waters fail from the sea, and the river wastes and dries up,

¹¹Li haß li cuan saß li palau naru nequeßsach ut eb li nimaß nequeßosoß ut nequeßchakic.

¹²so man lies down and doesn’t rise. Until the heavens are no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.

¹²Joßcaneb ajcuiß li cristian li nequeßcam incßaß chic nequeßcuacli nak li choxa mâjiß na-osoß. Incßaß nequeßel chak saß li naßajej li cuanqueb cuiß.

¹³“Oh that you would hide me in Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. , that you would keep me secret, until your wrath is past, that you would appoint me a set time, and remember me!

¹³Us raj nak tinâmuk ta chak saß lix naßajeb li camenak. Mukmukin raj chak aran toj tânumekß lâ joskßil. Lâat raj tatyehok re joß najtil tincuânk chak aran nak tinjulticokß âcue.

¹⁴If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my warfare would I wait, until my release should come.

¹⁴Nak nacam li cuînk, ¿ma tâyoßlâk cuißchic? Lâin yôquin chiroybeninquil joß najtil chic tincßul li raylal toj tâcuulak xkßehil nak tincolekß chiru li raylal.

¹⁵You would call, and I would answer you. You would have a desire to the work of your hands.

¹⁵Lâat tinâcuâtina ut lâin tatinsume. Sahak chic âchßôl cuiqßuin xban nak lâat xatyîban cue.

¹⁶But now you number my steps. Don’t you watch over my sin?

¹⁶Lâat yôcat chixqßuebal retal cßaßru ninbânu ut incßaß yôcat chixqßuebal retal cßaßru lin mâc.

¹⁷My disobedience is sealed up in a bag. You fasten up my iniquity.

¹⁷Tâsachk saß âchßôl chixjunil li mâc ninbânu. Ut tâcuisi chixjunil li incßaß us ninbânu.

¹⁸“But the mountain falling comes to nothing. The rock is removed out of its place;

¹⁸Eb li tzûl nequeßosoß nak nequeßukßeß. Ut eb li sakônac nequeßecßan saß xnaßajeb.

¹⁹The waters wear the stones. The torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth. So you destroy the hope of man.

¹⁹Eb li pec nequeßjayoß xban li haß nanumeß saß xbêneb. Ut nak naxqßue li hab naxchßaj li chßochß. Joßcan ajcuiß nak yôcat chixsachbal ru li cßaßru naxyoßoni li cuînk.

²⁰You forever prevail against him, and he departs. You change his face, and send him away.

²⁰Nacabânu raylal re ut nacaqßue chi câmc. Ut nak nacam najalanoß li rilbal.

²¹His sons come to honor, and he doesn’t know it. They are brought low, but he doesn’t perceive it of them.

²¹Incßaß naxnau ma naqßueheß xlokßaleb li ralal xcßajol malaj ut nacubsîc xcuanquileb. Aßan incßaß naxnau.Caßaj cuiß lix raylal lix tibel narecßa ut li rahil chßôlej, chan laj Job.

²²But his flesh on him has pain, and his soul within him mourns.”

²²Caßaj cuiß lix raylal lix tibel narecßa ut li rahil chßôlej, chan laj Job.
