Joba 10
1 “Ka hingnah soah ka hinglu loh a ko-oek coeng. Ka kohuetnah he kamah taengah ka sah tih ka hinglu a khahing hil ka thui.
“I am tired of living. And I will not be silent and stop saying what I am complaining about. Instead, being very unhappy, I will speak [IDM].
2 Pathen taengah, Kai m'boe sak boeh, balae tih kai nan ho, kai m'ming sak.
I will say to God, ‘Do not say that I must be punished; instead, tell me what wrong you are saying that I have done.
3 Na kut thaphu na hnawt vaengah halang kah cilsuep dongah na sae tih na hnaemtaek te nang ham then a?
Does it seem to be good for you to oppress me, to abandon me, whom you created, and instead, to help wicked people to do the things that they plan to do?
4 Hlanghing he na sawt tih na hmuh bangla nang taengah pumsa mik om a?
Do you understand things the way that we humans do?
5 Na khohnin he hlanghing khohnin bangla, na kum khaw hlang khohnin bangla om a?
(Do you live for only a few years, like we do?/You certainly do not live for only a few years, like we do.) [RHQ]
6 Te dongah kai kah thaesainah te na tlap tih, ka tholhnah hnukah nan toem.
So, why do you [RHQ] continue to search for my faults? Why do you hunt for my sins?
7 Ka boe pawt tih na kut lamloh a huul thai pawt te, na mingnah dongah om pataeng.
You know that I am not guilty, and that no one can rescue me from your power [MTY].
8 Na kut loh kai n'noih pai tih thikat la kai n'saii akhaw kai nan dolh pawn ni.
“'With your hands you created me and shaped/formed my body; but now you are [deciding that you should not have done that, and you are] destroying me.
9 Amlai bangla kai nan saii tih laipi la, kai nan mael sak te poek mai lah.
Do not forget that you made me from [a piece of] clay; are you going to cause me to become dirt again [RHQ]?
10 Suktui bangla kai nan sui tih sukkhal bangla kai nan khal sak moenih a?
You certainly [RHQ] directed/controlled it when I was conceived, and you formed me inside my mother’s womb [MET].
11 Kai he ka vin ka saa neh nan dah tih, ka rhuh neh tharhui neh nan cun.
You fastened my bones together with sinews, and [then] you covered them with flesh inside my skin.
12 Hingnah neh sitlohnah te kai taengah nan khueh tih, ka mueihla loh na ngoldoelh a ngaithuen.
You have caused me to be alive, and you have faithfully loved me, and you have carefully (preserved me/kept me alive).
13 Tedae na thinko ah na khoem he na khuiah tila ka ming.
“'But you (kept secret/did not reveal) what [you were planning to do to me]; I am certain that you were planning [to do] these [things to me].
14 Ka tholh sitoe cakhaw kai nan ngaithuen dongah kai kah thaesainah lamloh kai nan hmil moenih.
You were watching to see if I would sin, in order that [if I sinned, ] you would refuse to forgive me.
15 Ya-oe kai he ka boe akhaw, ka tang akhaw ka lu ka dangrhoek moenih. Yah ka hah tih ka phacip phabaem loh n'yan.
If I am a wicked man, I hope/wish that terrible things will happen to me. But even if I am righteous, I still must bow my head [and feel ashamed], because I am very disgraced and feel miserable.
16 Sathuengca bangla a phul atah kai nan mae tih kai taengah khobaerhambae la na mael.
And if I am proud, you hunt me like [SIM] a lion hunts [for some animal to kill], and you act powerfully to injure me.
17 Na laipai neh kai hmai ah nan tlaih tih kai taengah na konoinah na hong. Thovaelnah neh caempuei la kai taengah na pai.
You constantly find more witnesses [to testify that I have done what is wrong], and you continually become more angry/perturbed with me. [It is as though] you are always bringing new troops to attack me.
18 Balae tih bung khui lamloh loh kai nan poh. Ka pal palueng vetih mik loh kai m'hmu pawt mako.
“'God, why did you allow me to be born? I wish/desire that I had died before anyone [SYN] saw me.
19 A om khaw a om pawt bangla bungko lamloh phuel la n'khuen.
[I consider that] it would have been better if I had been carried directly from my mother’s womb to the grave than for me to live.
20 Ka khohnin he bawn tih a muei la a muei moenih a? Kai lamkah he na dueh na dueh vetih ka ngaidip laem mako.
[I think that] [RHQ] there are only a few days for me to remain alive; so (allow me to be alone/stop attacking me), in order that I may be a little cheerful
21 Ka caeh hlan vaengah hmaisuep khohmuen neh dueknah hlipkhup la ka mael pawt mako.
before I go to the place from which I will never return, where it is always gloomy and very dark [DOU],
22 khoyinnah kho tah dueknah hlipkhup a hmuep bangla om tih cikngae pawh. Te dongah a hmuep la sae ka ti ni,” a ti.
a place of darkness and dark shadows, where [everything] is confused/disordered, where [even a small amount of] light there is like darkness (OR, there is no light, only darkness).’”
