Job 14
1 Napui ni a khe e tami teh, a hring kaduem ni teh runae hoi kakawi e doeh.
Man that is borne of woman, is of short continuance, and full of trouble.
2 A pei patetlah a kamdat teh bout a kamyai. Tâhlip patetlah a kampuen teh, bout awm hoeh toe.
He shooteth foorth as a flowre, and is cut downe: he vanisheth also as a shadowe, and continueth not.
3 Hot patetlae dawkvah, na mit na padai teh, lawkcengnae dawk nama koe na ceikhai han na maw.
And yet thou openest thine eyes vpon such one, and causest me to enter into iudgement with thee.
4 Apinimaw kathounghoehe dawk hoi, na thoung e a la thai han, apinihai lat thai mahoeh.
Who can bring a cleane thing out of filthinesse? there is not one.
5 A hninnaw hah atueng khoe hnukkhu hoi, thapa nâyittouh maw tie hah na kut dawk ao. A tapuet thai hoeh nahanelah khori hoi a ngang pouh.
Are not his dayes determined? the nober of his moneths are with thee: thou hast appointed his boundes, which he can not passe.
6 Kut ka pâ e tami patetlah a hninnaw aloum totouh, a kâhat thai nahanelah ahni teh kamlang takhai haw.
Turne from him that he may cease vntill his desired day, as an hyreling.
7 Bangkongtetpawiteh, thing teh tâtueng nakunghai bout a bawt hane letlang hngaihawinae ao rah. A cakang bout a bawt han.
For there is hope of a tree, if it bee cut downe, that it will yet sproute, and the branches thereof will not cease.
8 Talai dawk a khawngyang kahmawn nakunghai kadout nakunghai.
Though the roote of it waxe olde in the earth, and the stocke thereof be dead in ye ground,
9 Tui kahû dawk bout bawt vaiteh, ung e patetlah a cakang a tâco han doeh.
Yet by the sent of water it will bud, and bring foorth boughes like a plant.
10 Hateiteh, tami teh a due hoi pakawp teh a kahma toe, tami teh a kâha a baw teh namaw ao.
But man is sicke, and dyeth, and man perisheth, and where is he?
11 Talî dawk e tui a kahma teh, tuipui hai a hak teh be a ke.
As the waters passe from the sea, and as the flood decayeth and dryeth vp,
12 Hot patetlah tami hai a yan teh thaw hoeh toe. Kalvannaw ao hoeh totouh hai kâhlaw hoe toe. Hoeh pawiteh, muet a inae koehoi kâhlaw mahoeh toe.
So man sleepeth and riseth not: for hee shall not wake againe, nor be raised from his sleepe till the heauen be no more.
13 Oe phuen koe na hrawk sak haw, na lungkhueknae a roum hoeh roukrak na hrawk haw, atueng hah na pouk pouh nateh, na pahnim hanh. (Sheol h7585)
Oh that thou wouldest hide me in the graue, and keepe me secret, vntill thy wrath were past, and wouldest giue me terme, and remember me. (Sheol h7585)
14 Ka kâthungnae atueng a pha totouh, tami dout pawiteh, bout a hring han namaw Ka ru e ka thawnaw dawk hoi ka ring han.
If a man die, shall he liue againe? All the dayes of mine appointed time will I waite, till my changing shall come.
15 Na kaw vaiteh, na pato han. Nama ni na kut hoi na sak e teh na pahren han.
Thou shalt call me, and I shall answere thee: thou louest the worke of thine own hands.
16 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka khokhnuknaw pueng be na touk. Hateiteh, ka yonnae naw hah na khen pouh hanh.
But nowe thou nombrest my steppes, and doest not delay my sinnes.
17 Kâtapoenae hah, yawngya thung khakkin e naw lah ao teh, ka payonpakai e hah na ramuk.
Mine iniquitie is sealed vp, as in a bagge, and thou addest vnto my wickednesse.
18 Hateiteh, mon katim e patetlah, talung teh a onae hmuen koehoi puen e patetlah,
And surely as the mountaine that falleth, commeth to nought, and the rocke that is remooued from his place:
19 tui ni talung pekpacin e patetlah, tuikalen ni talai kahawi a ceikhai e patetlah, tami e ngaihawi e hah na raphoe.
As the water breaketh the stones, when thou ouerflowest the things which growe in the dust of ye earth: so thou destroyest ye hope of man.
20 Ama teh poe na tâ teh, be a kahma awh. A mei na kâthungsak teh, alouklah na cei sak.
Thou preuailest alway against him, so that he passeth away: he changeth his face when thou castest him away.
21 A capanaw a tawmrasang e hah panuek awh hoeh. Ahnimouh pabo lah o awh e hai kâhmawt thai hoeh.
And he knoweth not if his sonnes shall be honourable, neither shall he vnderstand concerning them, whether they shalbe of lowe degree,
22 Hateiteh, a takthai hah patawnae dawk ao vaiteh, a hringnae ni ama a khui han telah a ti.
But while his flesh is vpon him, he shall be sorowfull, and while his soule is in him, it shall mourne.
