Job 10
1 Kamae ka hringnae ka panuet. Ka phuenangnae ka pâpho ngala han. Ka hringnae a rek hoi lawk ka dei han.
My soul doth loathe my life, —I let loose my complaint, I speak, in the bitterness of my soul.
2 Cathut koe yon na pen hanh, bangdawkmaw na taran, na hmawt sak haw, telah ka ti han.
I say unto GOD, Do not hold me guilty, Let me know, on what account thou contendest with me!
3 Tami repcoungroe lahoi na kutsak tami hah dudam teh, tamikathoutnaw khokhang e hnâbokhaie heh, ahawi telah na pouk maw.
Is it seemly in thee, that thou shouldst oppress? that thou shouldst despise the labour of thine own hand, when, upon the counsel of the lawless, thou hast shone?
4 Takthai e mit maw na tawn, tami ni a hmu e patetlah maw na hmu van maw.
Eyes of flesh, hast thou? or, as a mortal seeth, seest thou?
5 Namae hninnaw hai tami e hnin patetlah maw ao. Namae kumnaw teh, tami e hnin patetlah maw ao.
As the days of a mortal, are thy days? or, thy years, as the days of a man?
6 tamikathout lah ka ohoehnae hah na panue eiteh, na kut dawk hoi ka rungngang thai e awm hoeh tie hah na panue nahlangva,
That thou shouldst seek for mine iniquity, and, for my sin, shouldst make search:
7 Ka payonpakai e naw hah na tawng teh, ka yonnae hah na pâphue.
Though it is, within thine own knowledge, that I would not be lawless, and, none, out of thy hand, can deliver?
8 Namae na kut hoi na sak teh, ka kuepcingcalah na pathoup. Hateiteh, namae kut ni bout na raphoe.
Thine own hands, shaped me, and made me, all in unison round about, and yet thou hast confounded me.
9 Nama ni talai e na sak tie hah na pahnim hoeh nahan ka kâhei, vaiphu lah maw bout na coung sak han.
Remember, I pray thee, that, as clay, thou didst make me, and, unto dust, thou wilt cause me to return.
10 Nama ni sanutui patetlah na rabawk teh, sanutui kamkak patetlah na pahlawm nahoehmaw.
Didst thou not, like milk, pour me forth? and, as cheese, curdle me?
11 Nama ni ka vuen hoi takthai na ramuk. Ka hru hoi ka tharui hoi na caksak nahoehmaw.
With skin and flesh, clothe me? and, with bones and sinews, interweave me?
12 Nama ni ka hringnae hoi pahrennae na poe teh, na khetyawtnae ni ka muitha teh a lungmawng sak.
Life and lovingkindness, thou didst bestow upon me, —and, thy watchful care, preserved my breath.
13 Hete hnonaw heh na lungthin thung vah na hro teh, namae thung vah ao tie hah ka panue.
Yet, these things, thou didst hide in thy heart, I know that, this, hath been with thee!
14 Ka yon pawiteh nama ni na panue han. Ka payonpakai e dawk hoi na hlout sak hoeh.
If I have sinned, then couldst thou watch me, and, from mine iniquity, thou wouldst not acquit me:
15 Tamikathout lah kaawm pawiteh, yawthoe lah ka o han, tamikalan lah ka o nakunghai, minhmai kahawi kahmawt thai mahoeh. Kayayeirai hoi runae hoi kakawi e la ka o.
If I have been lawless, alas for me! Or, if I am righteous, I will not lift up my head, Surfeited with shame, look thou then on my humiliation.
16 Ka kâoup pawiteh, ka matheng e Sendek patetlah, hmâ na ca sak. Kai taranlahoi takikathopounge bout na kamnue sak.
When it is lifted up, like a howling lion, thou dost hunt me, Then again thou dost shew thyself marvellous against me.
17 Kai na ka taran hane ka panuekkhaie patuen patuen na tha teh, kai dawk na lungkuephoehnae na pung sak. Dumyennae hoi tarantuknae hah, kai koe pou ao.
Thou renewest thy witnesses before me, and dost increase thy vexation with me, Relays—yea an army, is with me.
18 Bangdawkmaw camo im dawk hoi na tâcosak. Oe apinihai na hmawt laipalah kadout boi pawiteh;
Wherefore then, from the womb, didst thou bring me forth? I might have breathed my last, and, no eye, have seen me.
19 Kaawmhoehe patetlah ka o han ei, Camo im thung hoi phuen lah ceikhai lah ka o han ei.
As though I had not been, should I have become, —from the womb to the grave, might I have been borne.
20 Ka hninnaw heh, ka younca e nahoehmaw. Ka cei vaiteh bout ka ban thai hoeh nahanlah, duenae tâhlip hoi hmonae ram dawk ka cei hoehnahlan vah.
Are not my days, few?—then forbear, and set me aside, that I may brighten up for a little;
21 Lungmawngnae dawngdeng hai ka hmu nahanelah, ka kâhat pawiteh, ka mahmawk na awm sak awh.
Before I go, and not return, unto a land of darkness and death-shade:
22 Ama lungpouk ka hmawt e, kingkahmawt e ram, duenae tâhlip patetlah, banghai ka awmhoeh e, angnae hai hmonae patetlah a onae hmuen koe, telah ati.
A land of obscurity, like thick darkness, of death-shade and disorder, and which shineth like thick darkness.
