< Job 6 >

1 Job ni a pathung teh,
Bvt Iob 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 griefe were well weighed, and my miseries were layed together in the balance.
3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, palang teng e sadi hlak hai a ri han doeh. Hatdawkvah ka dei payon toe.
For it woulde be nowe heauier then the sande of the sea: therefore my wordes are swallowed vp.
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 arrowes of the Almightie are in me, the venime whereof doeth drinke vp my spirit, and the terrours of God fight against me.
5 Kahrawng e la ni hram a papnae koe a hram boimaw,
Doeth the wilde asse bray when he hath grasse? or loweth the oxe when he hath fodder?
6 Atuinae kaawm hoeh e bu teh palawi laipalah ca thai han maw. Aduirakei ka pangaw e dawk atuinae bangmaw kaawm.
That which is vnsauerie, shall it be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egge?
7 Ka hringnae ni, a tek han a ngai hoeh e, kai hanelah, panuettho e rawcanaw doeh.
Such things as my soule refused to touch, as were sorowes, are my meate.
8 Oe, kahei e heh ka hmawt haw pawiteh, Cathut ni ngai poung e na poe haw pawiteh.
Oh that I might haue my desire, 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,
That is, that God would destroy me: that he would let his hand go, 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.
Then should I yet haue comfort, (though I burne with sorowe, let him not spare) because I haue not denyed the wordes 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 power haue I that I should endure? or what is mine end, if I should prolong my life?
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 brasse?
13 Ka thung vah kabawmkung awmhoeh namaw, ka kuepcingnae naw pueng kai koehoi be kampuen toung nahoehmaw.
Is it not so, that there is in me no helpe? and that strength is taken 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 is in miserie, ought to be comforted of his neighbour: but men haue forsaken the feare of the Almightie.
15 Ka hmaunawnghanaw teh palang tui patetlah yuengyoe kampuen e doeh, dawngdengca dawk kahmat e palang tui patetlah ao awh.
My brethre haue deceiued me as a brook, and as the rising of the riuers they passe away.
16 Tui a kamkak e kecu dawkvah a tamang teh, a thungvah ka kâhrawk e tadamtui patetlah ao.
Which are blackish with yee, and wherein the snowe is hid.
17 Abet torei teh, be kahma awh teh, a kâan torei teh amamae hmuen koehoi kahmakata awh.
But in time they are dryed vp with heate and are consumed: and when it is hote they faile out of their places,
18 Amamae a lamthung dawk hoi a kamlang awh teh, nâ lahai cet laipalah kahmakata awh.
Or they depart from their way and course, yea, they vanish and perish.
19 Teman miphun kahlawng kacetnaw ni a khet awh teh, Sheba kahlawng kacetnaw ni a ngaihawi awh.
They that go to Tema, considered them, and they that goe to Sheba, waited for them.
20 A ngâhawi awh dawkvah, a lungpout awh. Hawvah a pha awh torei teh, a kaya awh.
But they were confounded: when they hoped, they came thither and were ashamed.
21 Bangkongtetpawiteh, atuvah banglahai na tho awh hoeh toe. Takikatho e na hmu awh teh, na lung a puen awh.
Surely nowe are ye like vnto it: ye haue seene my fearefull plague, and are afraide.
22 Na poe awh haw, telah ka dei boimaw, hoeh pawiteh, na hnopainaw dawk hoi, kai na ratang nahanelah poe awh ka ti boimaw,
Was it because I said, Bring vnto me? or giue a rewarde to 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.
And deliuer me from the enemies hande, or ransome me out of the hand of tyrants?
24 Na cangkhai awh haw, duem ka o han, lawkkalan hah na panuek sak awh.
Teach me, and I wil hold my tongue: and cause me to vnderstande, wherein I haue erred.
25 Lannae teh, banghloimaw a tha ao. Hateiteh, na lawknaw ni bangmaw a kamceng sak.
Howe stedfast are the wordes of righteousnes? and what can any of you iustly reproue?
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.
Doe ye imagine to reproue wordes, that the talke of the afflicted should be as the winde?
27 Nangmouh niteh, naranaw hah na ka pacekpahlek awh, na huinaw hanelah tangkom na tai pouh awh.
Ye make your wrath to fall vpon the fatherlesse, and dig a pit for your friende.
28 Hatdawkvah, pahren lahoi khen awh haw, bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmae hmalah ka lai kathout mahoeh.
Nowe therefore be content to looke vpon me: for I will not lie before your face.
29 Ban awh nateh, lanhoehnae hah awm sak awh hanh, atu totouh ka kangdout e ka lannae heh tawm awh.
Turne, I pray you, let there be none iniquitie: returne, I say, and ye shall see yet my righteousnesse in that behalfe.
30 Ka lai dawk lanhoehnae ao maw, katui hoi katui hoeh e na kapekkaboe thai awh hoeh maw.
Is there iniquitie in my tongue? doeth not my mouth feele sorowes?
