ቀዳሚሁ፡ አኮኑ፡ ጽላሎት፡ ውእቱ፡ ሕይወት፡ ለእጓለ፡ እመ፡ ሕያው፡ በዲበ፡ ምድር፡ ወንብረቱ፡ ከመ፡ ሀሳብ፡ ዘለለዕለቱ።

“Isn’t a man forced to labor on earth? Aren’t his days like the days of a hired hand?

人在世上豈無爭戰嗎？他的日子不像雇工人的日子嗎？

7:2

ወእመ፡ አኮ፡ ከመ፡ ገብር፡ ዘያደሉ፡ ለእግዚኡ፡ ወያጸምእ፡ ጸሎቶ፡ አው፡ ከመ፡ ገባኢ፡ ዘይሴፎ፡ ዓስቦ።

As a servant who earnestly desires the shadow, as a hireling who looks for his wages,

像奴僕切慕黑影，像雇工人盼望工價；

7:3

ከማሁ፡ አነሂ፡ ተዓገሥኩ፡ አውራኀ፡ ከንቱ፡ ወሌሊተኒ፡ ተውህበኒ፡ ሊተ፡ ፃዕር።

so I am made to possess months of misery, wearisome nights are appointed to me.

我也照樣經過困苦的日月，夜間的疲乏為我而定。

When I lie down, I say, ‘When will I arise, and the night be gone?’ I toss and turn until the dawning of the day.

我躺臥的時候便說：我何時起來，黑夜就過去呢？我盡是反來覆去，直到天亮。

7:5

ጸገብኩ፡ ሕማመ፡ እምነግህ፡ እስከ፡ ሠርክ፡ ወባኍበኈ፡ ሥጋየ፡ በፅሄያት፡ ወመግል፡ ወኃለቁ፡ እንዘ፡ አሐክክ፡ ጸውበ፡ ወእንጳንጴ፡ ወሐመደ፡ ኮንኩ።

My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust. My skin closes up, and breaks out afresh.

我的肉體以蟲子和塵土為衣；我的皮膚才收了口又重新破裂。

7:6

ወቀላለ፡ ኮነት፡ ሕይወትየ፡ ከመ፡ ነገረ፡ ዘየአንም፡ ወተኃጐልኩ፡ በተሰፍዎ፡ ከንቱ።

My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.

我的日子比梭更快，都消耗在無指望之中。

ተዘከር፡ ከመ፡ ነፍስ፡ ውእቱ፡ ሕይትየ፡ ወኢትገብእ፡ እንከ፡ ትርአይ፡ ዓይንየ፡ ሠናይተ፡፡ 8፡ ወኢይሬኢ፡ ዓይነ፡ ዘይሬአየኒ፡ ወእመኒ፡ ነጸረኒ፡ ኢይሄሎ፡ እንከ።

Oh remember that my life is a breath. My eye will no more see good.

求你想念，我的生命不過是一口氣；我的眼睛必不再見福樂。

7:9

ከመ፡ ደመና፡ ዘተነጽሐ፡ እምሰማይ፡ እስመ፡ እምከመ፡ ወረደ፡ ሰብአ፡ ውስተ፡ መቃብር፡ ኢየዓርግ፡ እንከ።

As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he who goes down to Sheol will come up no more.

雲彩消散而過；照樣，人下陰間也不再上來。
