Job 10

NEW JERUSALEM	Peshitta
1 Since I have lost al taste for life, I shal give free rein to my complaining; I shal let my embittered soulspeak out.	1 ܥܩܬ ܢܦܫܝ ܒܚ̈ܝܝ ܪܢܝܬ ܒܪܢܝܝ ܘܐܡܠܠ ܒܡܪ̈ܪܐ ܕܢܦܫܝ
2 I shal say to God, 'Do not condemn me, tel me what your case is against me.	2 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܬܚܝܒܢܝ ܐܘܕܥܝܢܝ ܥܠ ܡܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܐ̇ܢ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ
3 Is it right for you to attack me, in contempt for what you yourself have made, thus abetting theschemes of the wicked?	3 ܠܐ ܟܕܘ ܠܟ ܕܛ̇ܠܡ ܐܢܬ ܘܡܣܠܐ ܐܢܬ ܠܐܘܬܐ ܕܐ̈ܝܕܝܟ ܘܥܠ ܬܪܥܝܬܐ ܕܪ̈ܫܝܥܐ ܐܕܝܩܬ
4 Are your eyes mere human eyes, do you see as human beings see?	4 ܕܠܡܐ ܥܝܢ̈ܝܟ ܐܝܟ ܥܝ̈ܢܝ ܒܣܪܐ ܐ̈ܢܝܢ ܐܘ ܐܝܟ ܡܚܙܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܚ̇ܙܐ ܐܢܬ
5 Are you mortal like human beings? do your years pass as human days pass?	5 ܐܘ ܝܘܡ̈ܬܟ ܐܝܟ ܝܘ̈ܡܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܘ ܫ̈ܢܝܟ ܐܝܟ ܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܓܒܪܐ
6 You, who enquire into my faults and investigate my sins,	6 ܕܡܥܩܒ ܐܢܬ ܥܠ ܚ̈ܘܒܝ ܘܥܠ ܚ̈ܛܗܝ
7 you know very wel that I am innocent, and that no one can rescue me from your grasp.	7 ܘܝ̇ܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܕܐܢܐ ܙܟܝ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܝܬ ܕܡܢ ܐ̈ܝܕܝܟ ܡܫܬܘܙܒ
8 Your hands having shaped and created me, now you change your mind and mean to destroy me!	8 ܐܝ̈ܕܝܟ ܠܐ̈ܝ ܒܝ ܘܥܒ̈ܕܢܝ ܘܡܢ ܒܬܪܟܢ ܨ̇ܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܠܡܚܝܒܘܬܢܝ ܘܠܡܛܒܥܘܬܢܝ
9 Having made me, remember, as though of clay, now you mean to turn me back into dust!	9 ܐܬܕܟܪ ܕܐܝܟ ܛܝܢܐ ܗܘ ܥܒܕܬܢܝ ܘܠܥܦܪܐ ܡܗܦܟ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ
10 Did you not pour me out like milk, and then let me thicken like curds,	10 ܘܐܝܟ ܚܠܒܐ ܗܘ ܪܒܝܬܢܝ ܘܐܝܟ ܓܒܬܐ ܡܣܝܬܢܝ
11 clothe me with skin and flesh, and weave me of bone and sinew?	11 ܡܫܟܐ ܘܒܣܪܐ ܐܠܒܫܬܢܝ ܘܒܓ̈ܝܕܐ ܘܒܓܪ̈ܡܐ ܫܪܪܬܢܝ
12 In your love you gave me life, and in your care watched over my every breath.	12 ܘܚ̈ܝܐ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܥܒܕܬ ܥܡܝ ܘܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܝܟ ܢܛܪܬ ܪܘܚܝ
13 Yet, al the while, you had a secret plan: I know that you were biding your time	13 ܘܗܠܝܢ ܟܣܝܬ ܒܠܒܟ ܝ̇ܕܥ ܗܘܝܬ ܕܗܕܐ ܗܘܬ ܒܪܥܝܢܟ
14 to see if I should sin and then not acquit me of my faults.	14 ܕܐܢ ܚܛܝܬ ܢܛ̇ܪ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܘܡܢ ܚ̈ܛܗܝ ܠܐ ܡܙܟܐ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ
15 Woe to me, if I am guilty; even if I am upright, I dare not lift my head, so overwhelmed with shameand drunk with pain am I!	15 ܐܢ ܚܛܝܬ ܘܝ ܠܝ ܘܐܢ ܐܙܕܕܩܬ ܠܐ ܐܪܝܡ ܪܝܫܝ ܡܣܒܥ ܐܢܐ ܨܥܪܐ ܘܚܙܝܬ ܡܘܟܟܝ
16 Proud as a lion, you hunt me down, multiplying your exploits at my expense,	16 ܘܐܢ ܐܬܬܪܝܡ ܐܝܟ ܐܪܝܐ ܬܨܘܕܢܝ ܘܗ̇ܦܟ ܐܢܬ ܡܬܓܢܒܪ ܥܠܝ
17 attacking me again and again, your fury against me ever increasing, your troops assailing me, waveafter wave.	17 ܘܡܚܪܐ ܐܢܬ ܙܝܢܟ ܠܘܩܒܠܝ ܘܡܣܓܐ ܐܢܬ ܪܘܓܙܟ ܠܘܬܝ ܘܚܝ̈ܠܘܢ ܡܚܠܦ ܐܢܬ ܥܠܝ
18 Why did you bring me out of the womb? I should have perished then, unseen by any eye,	18 ܘܠܡܢܐ ܡܢ ܡܪܒܥܐ ܐܦܩܬܢܝ ܣܦܬ ܕܝܢ ܘܥܝܢ ܠܐ ܚܙܬܢܝ
19 a being that had never been, to be carried from womb to grave.	19 ܘܗܘܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܘܡܢ ܟܪܣܐ ܠܩܒܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܘܒܠܘܢܝ
20 The days of my life are few enough: turn your eyes away, leave me a little joy,	20 ܙܥܘܪ̈ܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܕܚ̈ܝܝ ܦܪܘܩ ܡܢܝ ܘܐܫܠܐ ܘܐܬܬܢܝܚ ܩܠܝܠ
21 before I go to the place of no return, to the land of darkness and shadow dark as death,	21 ܥܕܠܐ ܐ̇ܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܘܬܘܒ ܠܐ ܐܗܦܘܟ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܚܫܘܟܬܐ ܘܕܛ̈ܠܠܝ ܡܘܬܐ
22 where dimness and disorder hold sway, and light itself is like dead of night.	22 ܕܫܗܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܚܒܪܐ ܘܛ̈ܠܠܝ ܡܘܬܐ ܘܠܝܬ ܒܗ̇ ܣܕܪ̈ܝܢ ܕܕܪ̈ܝܢ ܘܡܫܠܗܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܚܒܪܐ
