Job 7
1 Mihem jouse hinkho hi hahsatna toh kidel jing hilou ham? Ihinkho uhi kitha lah khut tobang hilou ham?
“Is there not warfare to man on earth? And his days as the days of a hired worker?
2 Liim ngaicha aum natong mi tobang ahin, soh atohna man ngah tobang ahi.
As a servant desires the shadow, And as a hired worker expects his wage,
3 Keima jong lha phabep sunga chu phatchomna bei natoh eikipen ahi, lunggel gentheina dimset in jankho sot noijah genthei kathoh e.
So I have been caused to inherit months of vanity, And they numbered nights of misery to me.
4 Jalkhun chungah kalumin, itih tah le jingkah ahitadem tin kagel jin, ahinlah jan in eisu chol in khovah kahsen kaki pehle le jin ahi.
If I lay down, then I have said, When do I rise, And evening has been measured? And I have been full of tossings until dawn.
5 Kati chungla than leh akhih in atom dimin ka vun jong apohkeh gamin anai along longe.
My flesh has been clothed [with] worms, And a clod of dust, My skin has been shriveled and is loathsome,
6 Ka nikho ho jong pon khong ho patphei kilham sangin ging jon, kinepna beijin akichai ji'e.
My days swifter than a loom, And they are consumed without hope.
7 O Pathen, kahin kho hi hai khat bep bou ahi ti nei geldoh peh in, chule keiman kipana hi kanei kit lou hel ding ahi.
Remember that my life [is] a breath, My eye does not turn back to see good.
8 Nangin tua hi neimu ahin, ahinlah nei musot pon nate, nangin neiven natin ahinlah keima ana chemang tange.
The eye of my beholder does not behold me. Your eyes [are] on me—and I am not.
A cloud has been consumed, and it goes, So he who is going down to Sheol does not come up. (Sheol h7585)
10 Amaho chu ainuva patna tonsotna mukit tah lou dinga chemang ahitauve.
He does not turn to his house again, Nor does his place discern him again.
11 Keima thusei louvin kaum theipoi, kalung genthei naho kasei doh a ka lhagao genthei jeh a kiphin ding kahi.
Also I do not withhold my mouth—I speak in the distress of my spirit, I talk in the bitterness of my soul.
12 Keima hi twikhanglen'a kichat chat um ganhing len ahilouleh gullui kahia nahonbit nanoija chu neikoi jeng ding ham?
Am I a sea [monster], or a dragon, That You set a watch over me?
13 Keima kalupna in eilhamon intin, chule ka imut teng kanat genthei na ho olsah tante tin kagelle.
When I said, My bed comforts me, In my talking He takes away my couch.
14 Ahinlah nangin mangse neimatsah jin, chule gaothil mu in nei kichat sah ji'e.
And You have frightened me with dreams, And You terrify me from visions,
15 Hitia genthei thoh sang hin, eikimeh lih jeng hen lang thileng pha kasa joi.
And my soul chooses strangling, Death rather than my bones.
16 Kahinkho kadei mon hitia hin hin ding hi kadei tapoi, O nikho lhomcha kanei sung hin kachangin nei dalha jengin.
I have wasted away—I do not live for all time. Cease from me, for my days [are] vanity.
17 Mihem hohi ipi hiuva, nangin hibanga hi na khohsah a chule nagel jing jeng ham?
What [is] man that You magnify him? And that You set Your heart to him?
18 Ajeh chu nangin jingkah seh le nakhol chil soh in, chule phat jousen na patep jinge.
And inspect him in the mornings, [And] in the evenings try him?
19 Kachil valna ding phatsung beh a ipi dinga nei dalhah lou ham?
How long do You not look from me? You do not desist until I swallow my spittle.
20 Chonset kanei ahilehnang chunga ipi kabol khah ham? O mihem te vejing pa, keihi nanga dinga pohgih kahija, natup penna neisem ham?
I have sinned, what do I do to You, O watcher of man? Why have You set me for a mark to You, And I am for a burden to myself—and what?
21 Kachonsetna hi ngaidam jengin lang chule kathemmona ho nei lahmang peh tan, ajeh chu leivui lah a kijam a thivah ding kahitan, nangin hin ven natin chemang tange.
You do not take away my transgression, And [do not] cause my iniquity to pass away, Because now, I lie down in dust, And You have sought me—and I am not!”
