Job 17
1 Kalhagao akisuchip in, kahinkho haisam pai ding ahitan lhankhuh jong keima ngah a gotsa uma ahitai.
My spirit will be wasted, my days will be shortened, and only the grave will be left for me.
2 Mi nuisat nom hon eium kimvellun ichan geija gilouva eiphin lunghang uvem tia kavet vet jeng ahi.
I have not sinned, yet my eye remains in bitterness.
3 O Pathen nangin nolnabei kahin neihon bit peh in koimacha keima dinga hung dingdoh ding umlou hel ahi.
Free me, O Lord, and set me beside you, and let the hand of anyone you wish fight against me.
4 Nangin amaho hi ima ahetkhen theilou nading uva alung mit u nakha peh ahin, ahinlah amaho hi lunglhaina pehih in.
You have set their heart far from discipline; therefore, they will not be praised.
5 Amaho phatchomna dingin aloi agol hou chu apedoh jiuvin hijeh chun achateu gilkel thoh in kho helouvin umsah in.
He promises prey to his companions, but the eyes of his sons will grow faint.
6 Aman mipi ho lah a konna einuisat ding chu asem ahin, kamaija chil eiset khumuve.
He has posted me like a proverb to the people, and I am an example in their presence.
7 Kaka ka nan kamit apom doh joutai. Keima hi kana hinasa alie maimai bou chu kahi.
My eyesight has been clouded by indignation, and my limbs have been reduced, as if to nothing.
8 Michonpha hon eimu teng uleh atija soh ji tauve, nolna bei miho chu Pathen neilou miho dounan ahung kipat doh jiuve.
The just will be astounded over this, and the innocent will be stirred up against the hypocrite.
9 Michonpha ho chu malam jonin akitol jing uve. Chule akhut teni thengsel'a umho chu ahat cheh ahat cheh jiuve.
And the just will cling to his way, and clean hands will increase strength.
10 Nangho nabon Chauvin kinelna a phajep in hung kile kit uvin, nangho lah a miching khat beh kamu doh lou vang'in
Therefore, be converted, all of you, and approach, for I do not find in you any wisdom.
11 Keima hin nikho aki chaitan, kakinepna amangthah tai. Kalung ngaichat jouse akeh gam tai.
My days have passed away; my thoughts have been scattered, tormenting my heart.
12 Hiche miho hin jan hi sun ahi tin asei uvin, amahon muthim chu khovah ahi tin asei jiuve.
They have turned night into day, and I hope for light again after the darkness.
If I should wait, the underworld is my house, and in darkness I have spread out my bed. (Sheol h7585)
14 Lhankhuh chu kappa nahi tin kou leng, ipi itin tem? Chule than chu kanu ahi loule kasopinu tileng;
I have said to decay and to worms: “You are my father, my mother, and my sister.”
15 Kakinepna hoilamba hita a mikhat touvin amu dem?
Therefore, where is my expectation now, and who is it that considers my patience?
