Job 6
1 Job ni a pathung teh,
Then Job answered and said,
2 Oe, ka kângairunae heh, yawcu dawk khing haw pawiteh, ka khang e runae naw hai, yawcu khingnae dawk phat naseh.
Oh that my vexation were but weighed, And all my calamity laid in the balances!
3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, palang teng e sadi hlak hai a ri han doeh. Hatdawkvah ka dei payon toe.
For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas: Therefore have my words been rash.
4 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Athakasaipounge ni a ka e pala teh kai thung vah ao, ahnimae a sue hah ka muitha ni a nei. Cathut takinae hah ka hmalah a kamnue.
For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, The poison whereof my spirit drinketh up: The terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
5 Kahrawng e la ni hram a papnae koe a hram boimaw,
Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? Or loweth the ox over his fodder?
6 Atuinae kaawm hoeh e bu teh palawi laipalah ca thai han maw. Aduirakei ka pangaw e dawk atuinae bangmaw kaawm.
Can that which hath no savor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
7 Ka hringnae ni, a tek han a ngai hoeh e, kai hanelah, panuettho e rawcanaw doeh.
My soul refuseth to touch [them]; They are as loathsome food to me.
8 Oe, kahei e heh ka hmawt haw pawiteh, Cathut ni ngai poung e na poe haw pawiteh.
Oh that I might have my request; And that God would grant [me] the thing that I long for!
9 Pahren lahoi Cathut ni vek na khei haw na seh, A kut na pho sin nateh vitkatip lah, na tâtueng haw naseh,
Even that it would please God to crush me; That he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
10 Hottelah nakunghai, ka lungmawngnae ka tawn rah. Patawnae ni na tha hoeh nakunghai ka lunghawi han rah. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami kathounge lawk hah kâhrawk mahoeh.
And be it still my consolation, Yea, let me exult in pain that spareth not, That I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
11 Bangpatete thaonae maw ka tawn teh, ka ngaihawi han rah. Ka poutnae hah, banglamaw ao teh, ka hringnae ni a saw sak han rae te,
What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is mine end, that I should be patient?
12 Ka thaonae heh lungsong thaonae lah maw ao. Ka takthai he rahum lah maw a tho.
Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh of brass?
13 Ka thung vah kabawmkung awmhoeh namaw, ka kuepcingnae naw pueng kai koehoi be kampuen toung nahoehmaw.
Is it not that I have no help in me, And that wisdom is driven quite from me?
14 Bangpueng katetthai takinae a ceitakhai nakunghai, patawnae ka khang e koevah, a hui koehoi a lungmanae kamnue sak hane doeh.
To him that is ready to faint kindness [should be showed] from his friend; Even to him that forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
15 Ka hmaunawnghanaw teh palang tui patetlah yuengyoe kampuen e doeh, dawngdengca dawk kahmat e palang tui patetlah ao awh.
My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, As the channel of brooks that pass away;
16 Tui a kamkak e kecu dawkvah a tamang teh, a thungvah ka kâhrawk e tadamtui patetlah ao.
Which are black by reason of the ice, [And] wherein the snow hideth itself:
17 Abet torei teh, be kahma awh teh, a kâan torei teh amamae hmuen koehoi kahmakata awh.
What time they wax warm, they vanish; When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
18 Amamae a lamthung dawk hoi a kamlang awh teh, nâ lahai cet laipalah kahmakata awh.
The caravans [that travel] by the way of them turn aside; They go up into the waste, and perish.
19 Teman miphun kahlawng kacetnaw ni a khet awh teh, Sheba kahlawng kacetnaw ni a ngaihawi awh.
The caravans of Tema looked, The companies of Sheba waited for them.
20 A ngâhawi awh dawkvah, a lungpout awh. Hawvah a pha awh torei teh, a kaya awh.
They were put to shame because they had hoped; They came thither, and were confounded.
21 Bangkongtetpawiteh, atuvah banglahai na tho awh hoeh toe. Takikatho e na hmu awh teh, na lung a puen awh.
For now ye are nothing; Ye see a terror, and are afraid.
22 Na poe awh haw, telah ka dei boimaw, hoeh pawiteh, na hnopainaw dawk hoi, kai na ratang nahanelah poe awh ka ti boimaw,
Did I say, Give unto me? Or, Offer a present for me of your substance?
23 Hoeh pawiteh, ka tarannaw e kut dawk hoi na rungngang awh haw, ka ti boimaw, hoeh pawiteh, kai ka hnephnap e koehoi na ratang awh ka ti boimaw.
Or, Deliver me from the adversary’s hand? Or, Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors?
24 Na cangkhai awh haw, duem ka o han, lawkkalan hah na panuek sak awh.
Teach me, and I will hold my peace; And cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
25 Lannae teh, banghloimaw a tha ao. Hateiteh, na lawknaw ni bangmaw a kamceng sak.
How forcible are words of uprightness! But your reproof, what doth it reprove?
26 Lawk ka dei e naw heh yonpen hane maw na ngai awh. Ngaihawinae ka tawn hoeh e tami ni a dei e lawk teh, kahlî patetlah doeh ao.
Do ye think to reprove words, Seeing that the speeches of one that is desperate are as wind?
27 Nangmouh niteh, naranaw hah na ka pacekpahlek awh, na huinaw hanelah tangkom na tai pouh awh.
Yea, ye would cast [lots] upon the fatherless, And make merchandise of your friend.
28 Hatdawkvah, pahren lahoi khen awh haw, bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmae hmalah ka lai kathout mahoeh.
Now therefore be pleased to look upon me; For surely I shall not lie to your face.
29 Ban awh nateh, lanhoehnae hah awm sak awh hanh, atu totouh ka kangdout e ka lannae heh tawm awh.
Return, I pray you, let there be no injustice; Yea, return again, my cause is righteous.
30 Ka lai dawk lanhoehnae ao maw, katui hoi katui hoeh e na kapekkaboe thai awh hoeh maw.
Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern mischievous things?
