Joba 17
1 Ka mueihla he pat tih ka khohnin loh khum coeng, kai hamla coeng tih phuel om coeng.
Mi spirit schal be maad feble; my daies schulen be maad schort, and oneli the sepulcre is left to me.
2 Ka taengah a omsasaipat pai moenih a? Te dongah amih koek ham khaw ka mik ah rhaeh pai saeh.
Y have not synned, and myn iye dwellith in bittirnessis.
3 Kai kah rhikhang he namah hamla khueh laeh. Anih te ulong ka kut dongla a khoom eh?
Lord, delyuere thou me, and sette thou me bisidis thee; and the hond of ech fiyte ayens me.
4 Amih kah lungbuei te lungmingnah lamloh na khoem pah coeng. Te dongah na pomsang sak mahpawh.
Thou hast maad the herte of hem fer fro doctryn, `ethir knowyng of treuthe; therfor thei schulen not be enhaunsid.
5 Khoyo la a hui a phoe vaengah a ca rhoek mik tah hma coeng.
He bihetith prey to felowis, and the iyen of hise sones schulen faile.
6 Kai he pilnam kah a thuidoek la n'khueh tih maelhmai dongkah timthoeihnah la ka om.
He hath set as in to a prouerbe of the comyn puple, and his saumple bifor hem.
7 Ka mik he konoinah neh hmang coeng tih ka pumrho he khokhawn bangla boeih om.
Myn `iye dasewide at indignacioun; and my membris ben dryuun as in to nouyt.
8 Te dongah aka thuem khaw a pong sak tih lailak taengah ommongsitoe a haenghang sak.
Iust men schulen wondre on this thing; and an innocent schal be reisid ayens an ypocrite.
9 Tedae aka dueng loh amah longpuei te a tuuk vetih a kut cim khaw a thaa sai ni.
And a iust man schal holde his weie, and he schal adde strengthe to clene hondis.
10 Amih te boeih na mael sak uh coeng. Na pawk uh to cakhaw nangmih ah hlangcueih ka hmu mahpawh.
Therfor alle `ye be conuertid, and come ye; and Y schal not fynde in you ony wiys man.
11 Ka khohnin loh thok coeng. Ka thinko kah kohnek la ka poeknah mawth coeng.
My daies ben passid; my thouytis ben scaterid, turmentynge myn herte.
12 Khoyin te khothaih la a khueh tih, a hmuep tom te vangnah neh a yoei sak.
Tho han turned the nyyt `in to day; and eft aftir derknessis hope liyt.
If Y `susteyne, ether suffre pacientli, helle is myn hous; and Y haue arayede my bed in derknessis. (Sheol h7585)
14 Vaam taengah, “A pa nang,” ka ti nah tih a rhit taengah, “A nu neh ka ngannu,” ka ti nah coeng.
Y seide to rot, Thou art my fadur; and to wormes, Ye ben my modir and my sister.
15 Te dongah menim ka ngaiuepnah tih ka ngaiuepnah he unim aka mae?
Therfor where is now myn abidyng? and who biholdith my pacience?
