Job 5
1 Atu kaw haw, na ka pato hane ao awh han vaimoe. Kathounge tami, nâ lah maw na kamlang han.
Call now if there be any that will answer thee, and turn to some of the saints.
2 Bangkongtetpawiteh, lungkhueknae ni tamipathu a thei teh, utsinnae ni kamawngrame a thei.
Anger indeed killeth the foolish, and envy slayeth the little one.
3 Tami ni khawngyang a pabo e hah ka hmu, hateiteh kho a saknae hmuen hah thoe tangka bo.
I have seen a fool with a strong root, and I cursed his beauty immediately.
4 A capanaw teh, a hlout nahane awm hoeh, longkha koe a rawp awh vaiteh, a katin awh han. Ka rungngang hane awm hoeh.
His children shall be far from safety, and shall be destroyed in the gate, and there shall be none to deliver them.
5 Bangkongtetpawiteh, a von ka hlam e ni a a e cang hah be a ca pouh teh, pâkhingum e patenghai hnopainaw hah a lawp awh.
Whose harvest the hungry shall eat, and the armed man shall take him by violence, and the thirsty shall drink up his riches.
6 Bangkongtetpawiteh, khangnae teh talai dawk hoi ka tho e nahoeh. Rucatnae hai talai dawk hoi ka tho e na hoeh.
Nothing upon earth is done without a voice cause, and sorrow doth not spring out of the ground.
7 Hmaitali kahlun lah a luen e patetlah, tami teh rucat hane doeh a khe.
Man is born to labour and the bird to fly.
8 Hateiteh, kai niteh, Cathut ka tawng vaiteh, ka rucatnae teh Cathut e hmalah ka dei pouh han.
Wherefore I will pray to the Lord, and address my speech to God:
9 A bawilennae hoi dei thai hoeh e, touk thai hoeh e, kângairunae kasakthaie koe vah.
Who doth great things and unsearchable and wonderful things without number:
10 Talai dawk kho a rak sak teh, law dawk tui a lawng sak.
Who giveth rain upon the face of the earth, and watereth all things with waters:
11 Kangduenae hmuen ka rahnoum e hah, a rasang sak teh, lung kamathoutnaw hah, roumnae hmuen dawk a luen sak.
Who setteth up the humble on high, and comforteth with health those that mourn.
12 Huenghai kaawmnaw khokhangnae hah a kahma sak teh, a kut hoi a noe e naw koung a raphoe pouh.
Who bringeth to nought the designs of the malignant, so that their hands cannot accomplish what they had begun:
13 Tami lungkaang huenghai kaawm e hah, a thoumthainae ni a man awh teh, huenghai kaawm naw e khokhangnae hah, amamouh dawk tang a pha han.
Who catcheth the wise in their craftiness, and disappointeth the counsel of the wicked:
14 Kanîthun angnae dawk hmonae hoi a kâhmo awh teh, kanî tuengtalueng thun nah tangmin e patetlah thupthup a payam awh.
They shall meet with darkness in the day, and grope at noonday as in the night.
15 Hateiteh, tahloi hoi tami ka voutthoup e hah a rungngang teh, athakaawme taminaw e apâhni hoi a kut ni a rungngang awh.
But he shall save the needy from the sword of their mouth, and the poor from the hand of the violent.
16 Ka roedengnaw ni ngaihawinae a tawn awh teh, lanhoehnae ni a pahni a cakuep pouh.
And to the needy there shall he hope, but iniquity shall draw in her mouth.
17 Khenhaw! Cathut ni a toun e tami teh, tami a lung kahawi e doeh. Hatdawkvah Athakasaipounge ni phepnae teh, noutna laipalah awm hanh.
Blessed is the mall whom God correcteth: refuse not therefore the chastising of the lord:
18 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ama ni a hem teh, a hmâ hah ama ni a kawm pouh. Ama ni a hmâ a ca sak teh, a kut hoi a dam sak.
For he woundeth, and cureth: he striketh, and his hands shall heal.
19 Ama ni runae taruk touh dawk hoi a tâco sak e dueng khout laipalah, sari touh thung dawk hoi hai kahawihoehe ni tek awh mahoeh.
In six troubles he shall deliver thee, and in the seventh, evil shall not touch thee.
20 Ama ni takang duenae thung hoi a ratang awh vaiteh, taran um e tahloi thaonae thung hoi a ratang awh han.
In famine he shall deliver thee from death: and in battle, from the hand of the sword.
21 Lawkthoeumkha thung hoi hro lah na o vaiteh, rawkphainae a pha torei teh, na taket mahoeh.
Thou shalt he hidden from the scourge of the tongue: and thou shalt not fear calamity when it cometh.
22 Rawkphainae hoi takangnae na panui sin vaiteh, talai e sarangnaw hah na taket mahoeh.
In destruction and famine then shalt laugh: and thou shalt not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
23 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kahrawng e talungnaw hoi rei kambawng vaiteh, kahrawng e sarangmathengnaw hoi karoumcalah na o awh han.
But thou shalt have a covenant with the stones of the lands, and the beasts of the earth shall be at pence with thee.
24 Na onae rim dawk karoumcalah na o e hah na panue han. Na khosaknae hah na khet navah voutthoupnae banghai awm mahoeh.
And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle is in peace, and visiting thy beauty thou shalt not sin.
25 Na ca catoun moiapap hane hah a panue vaiteh, nange na miphunnaw talai dawk phovai patetlah ao e hah na hmu han.
Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be multiplied, and thy offspring like the grass of the earth.
26 Atueng pha toteh cabong taoung e patetlah na kumcue toteh, phuen koe na pha han.
Thou shalt enter into the grave in abundance, as a heap of wheat is brought in its season.
27 Khenhaw! heteheh ka pakhingpalang awh teh, kalan e doeh ka tho. Thaihaw, nama hane doeh tie hah panuek, telah atipouh.
Behold, this is even so, as we have searched out: which thou having heard, consider it thoroughly in thy mind.
