Job 6
1 Job ni a pathung teh,
But 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 one would indeed weigh the wrath that is upon me, and take up my griefs in a balance together!
3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, palang teng e sadi hlak hai a ri han doeh. Hatdawkvah ka dei payon toe.
And verily they would be heavier than the sand by the seashore: but, as it seems, my words are vain.
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 Lord are in my body, whose violence drinks up my blood: whenever I am going to speak, they pierce me.
5 Kahrawng e la ni hram a papnae koe a hram boimaw,
What then? will the wild ass bray for nothing, if he is not seeking food? or again, will the ox low at the manger, when he has a fodder?
6 Atuinae kaawm hoeh e bu teh palawi laipalah ca thai han maw. Aduirakei ka pangaw e dawk atuinae bangmaw kaawm.
Shall bread be eaten without salt? or again, is there taste in empty words?
7 Ka hringnae ni, a tek han a ngai hoeh e, kai hanelah, panuettho e rawcanaw doeh.
For my wrath cannot cease; for I perceive my food as the smell of a lion [to be] loathsome.
8 Oe, kahei e heh ka hmawt haw pawiteh, Cathut ni ngai poung e na poe haw pawiteh.
For oh that he would grant [my desire], and my petition might come, and the Lord would grant my hope!
9 Pahren lahoi Cathut ni vek na khei haw na seh, A kut na pho sin nateh vitkatip lah, na tâtueng haw naseh,
Let the Lord begin and wound me, but let him not utterly destroy me.
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.
Let the grave be my city, upon the walls of which I have leaped: I will not shrink from it; for I have not denied the holy words of my God.
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,
For what is my strength, that I continue? what is my time, that my soul endures?
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.
Or have I not trusted in him? but help is [far] from me.
14 Bangpueng katetthai takinae a ceitakhai nakunghai, patawnae ka khang e koevah, a hui koehoi a lungmanae kamnue sak hane doeh.
Mercy has rejected me; and the visitation of the Lord has disregarded me.
15 Ka hmaunawnghanaw teh palang tui patetlah yuengyoe kampuen e doeh, dawngdengca dawk kahmat e palang tui patetlah ao awh.
My nearest relations have not regarded me; they have passed me by like a failing brook, or like a wave.
16 Tui a kamkak e kecu dawkvah a tamang teh, a thungvah ka kâhrawk e tadamtui patetlah ao.
They who used to reverence me, now have come against me like snow or congealed ice.
17 Abet torei teh, be kahma awh teh, a kâan torei teh amamae hmuen koehoi kahmakata awh.
When it has melted at the approach of heat, it is not known what it was.
18 Amamae a lamthung dawk hoi a kamlang awh teh, nâ lahai cet laipalah kahmakata awh.
Thus I also have been deserted of all; and I am ruined, and become an outcast.
19 Teman miphun kahlawng kacetnaw ni a khet awh teh, Sheba kahlawng kacetnaw ni a ngaihawi awh.
Behold the ways of the Thaemanites, ye that mark the paths of the Sabaeans.
20 A ngâhawi awh dawkvah, a lungpout awh. Hawvah a pha awh torei teh, a kaya awh.
They too that trust in cities and riches shall come to shame.
21 Bangkongtetpawiteh, atuvah banglahai na tho awh hoeh toe. Takikatho e na hmu awh teh, na lung a puen awh.
But ye also have come to me without pity; so that beholding my wound ye 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,
What? have I made any demand of you? or do I ask for strength from you,
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.
to deliver me from enemies, or to rescue me from the hand of the mighty ones?
24 Na cangkhai awh haw, duem ka o han, lawkkalan hah na panuek sak awh.
Teach ye me, and I will be silent: if in anything I have erred, tell me.
25 Lannae teh, banghloimaw a tha ao. Hateiteh, na lawknaw ni bangmaw a kamceng sak.
But as it seems, the words of a true man are vain, because I do not ask strength of you.
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.
Neither will your reproof cause me to cease my words, for neither will I endure the sound of your speech.
27 Nangmouh niteh, naranaw hah na ka pacekpahlek awh, na huinaw hanelah tangkom na tai pouh awh.
Even because ye attack the fatherless, and insult your friend.
28 Hatdawkvah, pahren lahoi khen awh haw, bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmae hmalah ka lai kathout mahoeh.
But now, having looked upon your countenances, I will not lie.
29 Ban awh nateh, lanhoehnae hah awm sak awh hanh, atu totouh ka kangdout e ka lannae heh tawm awh.
Sit down now, and let there not be unrighteousness; and unite again with the just.
30 Ka lai dawk lanhoehnae ao maw, katui hoi katui hoeh e na kapekkaboe thai awh hoeh maw.
For there is no injustice in my tongue; and does not my throat meditate understanding?
