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.
O that my sins, whereby I have deserved wrath, and the calamity that I suffer, were weighed in a balance.
3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, palang teng e sadi hlak hai a ri han doeh. Hatdawkvah ka dei payon toe.
As the sand of the sea this would appear heavier: therefore my words are full of sorrow:
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 me, the rage whereof drinketh up my spirit, and the terrors of the Lord war against me.
5 Kahrawng e la ni hram a papnae koe a hram boimaw,
Will the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or will the ox low when he standeth before a full manger?
6 Atuinae kaawm hoeh e bu teh palawi laipalah ca thai han maw. Aduirakei ka pangaw e dawk atuinae bangmaw kaawm.
Or can an unsavoury thing be eaten, that is not seasoned with salt? or can a man taste that which when tasted bringeth death?
7 Ka hringnae ni, a tek han a ngai hoeh e, kai hanelah, panuettho e rawcanaw doeh.
The things which before my soul would not touch, now, through anguish are my meats.
8 Oe, kahei e heh ka hmawt haw pawiteh, Cathut ni ngai poung e na poe haw pawiteh.
Who will grant that my request may come: and that God may give me what I look for?
9 Pahren lahoi Cathut ni vek na khei haw na seh, A kut na pho sin nateh vitkatip lah, na tâtueng haw naseh,
And that he that hath begun may destroy me, that he may 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 that this may be my comfort, that afflicting me with sorrow, he spare not, nor I contradict 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,
For what is my strength, that I can hold out? or what is my end that I should keep patience?
12 Ka thaonae heh lungsong thaonae lah maw ao. Ka takthai he rahum lah maw a tho.
My strength is not the strength of stones, nor is my flesh of brass.
13 Ka thung vah kabawmkung awmhoeh namaw, ka kuepcingnae naw pueng kai koehoi be kampuen toung nahoehmaw.
Behold there is no help for me in myself, and my familiar friends also are departed from me.
14 Bangpueng katetthai takinae a ceitakhai nakunghai, patawnae ka khang e koevah, a hui koehoi a lungmanae kamnue sak hane doeh.
He that taketh away mercy from his friend, forsaketh the fear of the Lord.
15 Ka hmaunawnghanaw teh palang tui patetlah yuengyoe kampuen e doeh, dawngdengca dawk kahmat e palang tui patetlah ao awh.
My brethren have passed by me, as the torrent that passeth swiftly in the valleys.
16 Tui a kamkak e kecu dawkvah a tamang teh, a thungvah ka kâhrawk e tadamtui patetlah ao.
They that fear the hoary frost, the snow shall fall upon them.
17 Abet torei teh, be kahma awh teh, a kâan torei teh amamae hmuen koehoi kahmakata awh.
At the time when they shall be scattered they shall perish: and after it groweth hot they shall be melted out of their place.
18 Amamae a lamthung dawk hoi a kamlang awh teh, nâ lahai cet laipalah kahmakata awh.
The paths of their steps are entangled: they shall walk in vain, and shall perish.
19 Teman miphun kahlawng kacetnaw ni a khet awh teh, Sheba kahlawng kacetnaw ni a ngaihawi awh.
Consider the paths of Thema, the ways of Saba, and wait a little while.
20 A ngâhawi awh dawkvah, a lungpout awh. Hawvah a pha awh torei teh, a kaya awh.
They are confounded, because I have hoped: they are come also even unto me, and are covered with shame.
21 Bangkongtetpawiteh, atuvah banglahai na tho awh hoeh toe. Takikatho e na hmu awh teh, na lung a puen awh.
Now you are come: and now seeing my affliction you 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: Bring to me, and give 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 hand of the enemy, and rescue me out of the hand of the mighty?
24 Na cangkhai awh haw, duem ka o han, lawkkalan hah na panuek sak awh.
Teach me, and I will hold my peace: and if I have been ignorant in any thing, instruct me.
25 Lannae teh, banghloimaw a tha ao. Hateiteh, na lawknaw ni bangmaw a kamceng sak.
Why have you detracted the words of truth, whereas there is none of you that can reprove me?
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.
You dress up speeches only to rebuke, and you utter words to the wind.
27 Nangmouh niteh, naranaw hah na ka pacekpahlek awh, na huinaw hanelah tangkom na tai pouh awh.
You rush in upon the fatherless, and you endeavour to overthrow your friend.
28 Hatdawkvah, pahren lahoi khen awh haw, bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmae hmalah ka lai kathout mahoeh.
However finish what you have begun, give ear, and see whether I lie.
29 Ban awh nateh, lanhoehnae hah awm sak awh hanh, atu totouh ka kangdout e ka lannae heh tawm awh.
Answer, I beseech you, without contention: and speaking that which is just, judge ye.
30 Ka lai dawk lanhoehnae ao maw, katui hoi katui hoeh e na kapekkaboe thai awh hoeh maw.
And you shall not And iniquity in my tongue, neither shall folly sound in my mouth.
