Job 19
1 But Job answered by saying:
Job ni a pathung teh,
2 How long will you afflict my soul and wear me down with words?
Atueng nâsittouh maw ka hringnae he runae na poe awh teh, lawk hoi kai na raphoe awh han.
3 So, ten times you confound me and are not ashamed to oppress me.
Vai hra totouh na pathoe awh e ka tak dawkvah na payon awh nakunghai na kayak awh hoeh.
4 Now, of course, if I have been ignorant, my ignorance will be with me.
Ka payon katang pawiteh, ka payonnae teh kai dawk pou ao han.
5 But you have risen up against me, and you accuse me to my disgrace.
Kai na taranlahoi na kâoup awh teh, kai kayanae heh kai na tarannae lah na hno awh pawiteh,
6 At least now you should understand that God has not afflicted me with a balanced judgment, though he has encompassed me with his scourges.
kai dawkvah Cathut a payon tie hoi, a tamlawk hoi na ramuk tie hah panuek awh.
7 Behold, I will cry out, enduring violence, and no one will hear. I will announce loudly, but there is no one who may judge.
Payonnae kong dawkvah ka hram pawiteh, na thai pouh mahoeh. Puenghoi ka hram nakunghai lannae hah awm hoeh.
8 He has hemmed in my path, and I cannot pass; he has added darkness to my difficult path.
Ka tapuet thai hoeh nahanlah ama ni ka lamthung hah a pâbing. Ka lamthung dawk hmonae hah a ta.
9 He has plundered me of my glory, and he has stolen the crown from my head.
Ka bawilennae hah na rading pouh teh, ka lû dawk e bawilukhung hah na la pouh.
10 He has destroyed me on every side, and I am lost, and, like an uprooted tree, he has taken away my hope.
Avoivang hoi vekvek na phi te ka kahma toe. Ka ngaihawinae teh, thingkung patetlah na phawk pouh.
11 His fury has raged against me, and in this way he has treated me like his enemy.
Kai na taranlahoi a lungkhueknae hah a kâan sak teh, a taran buet touh e patetlah na touksin.
12 His troops have gathered together, and they have made their way to me, and they have besieged my tabernacle all around.
A ransahu hah a kamkhueng awh teh, kai na taran lahoi lamthung a rasoun awh, ka lukkareirim tengpam petkâkalup lah na ven awh.
13 He has put my brothers far from me, and my friends have withdrawn from me like strangers.
Ka hmaunawnghanaw hah ahla nah koelah na puen pouh teh, ka panue e naw hah tamitavan lah koung ao awh.
14 My kinsmen have forsaken me, and those who knew me, have forgotten me.
Ka imthungnaw hai ka hmawt thai hoeh toe. Ka huikahawinaw ni koung na pahnim awh toe.
15 The inhabitants of my house and my maidservants treat me just as if I were a stranger, and I have been like a sojourner in their eyes.
Ka im dawk kho kasaknaw, ka sannunaw ni imyin lah na pouk awh. Ahnimae mithmu vah imyin lah ka o.
16 I called my servant, and he did not respond; I pleaded with him with my own mouth.
Ka sannaw hah ka kaw eiteh, na pato awh hoeh toe. Lawkkanem hoi pasawt a ngai toe.
17 My wife has shuddered at my breath, and I have begged the sons of my loins.
Ka hringnae teh ka yu hanelah a hnueai e lah ao teh, rei ka tâcawt e hmaunawnghanaw hanelah ngai ka tho e la awm hoeh toe.
18 Even the foolish have looked down on me, and, when I withdrew from them, they spoke ill of me.
Camoca ni patenghai na dudam awh. Ka thaw navah kai taranlahoi lawk a dei awh.
19 Those who were sometimes my counselors, treat me like an abomination; and he whom I valued the most has turned against me.
Ka huiko kamyawng pueng ni na panuet awh. Ka lungpataw e naw ni hai kai tarankung lah koung ao awh.
20 Since my flesh has been consumed, my bone adheres to my skin, and only my lips have been left around my teeth.
Ka vuen hoi ka tak hai ka hru dawk rapkâbet. Kahâhli duengdoeh kaawm toe.
21 Have mercy on me, have compassion on me, at least you my friends, because the hand of the Lord has touched me.
Oe, nangmouh ka huinaw, na pahren awh haw, na pahren awh haw, bangkongtetpawiteh Cathut e kut hoi na hem e la ka o toe.
22 Why do you pursue me just as God does, and satiate yourselves with my flesh?
Bang kecu dawk maw Cathut na rektap e patetlah kai hah na rektap awh. Ka takthai dawk ka khangnae he na khout sak awh hoeh rah maw.
23 Who will grant to me that my words may be written down? Who will grant to me that they may be inscribed in a book,
Oe, ka lawknaw he ca lah ka thun pawiteh, cauknaw dawk pakhum boipawiteh,
24 with an iron pen and a plate of lead, or else be carved in stone?
thutnae sum hoi, talung dawk thut e a yungyoe hanelah awm pawiteh,
25 For I know that my Redeemer lives, and on the last day I will rise out of the earth.
kai na karatangkung teh a hring tie hah ka panue. A hnuktengpoung nah talai van bout a kangdue han.
26 And I will be enveloped again with my skin, and in my flesh I will see my God.
Ka vuen heh raphoe hnukkhu hoi, ka takthai hoi Cathut hah ka hmu han tie hah ka panue.
27 It is he whom I myself will see, and he whom my eyes will behold, and no other. This, my hope, has taken rest in my bosom.
Kai kama roeroe ni ka hmu vaiteh, ayâ alouk ni a hmu dueng laipalah, kai ni kamae mit hoi roeroe ka hmu han. Banghloimaw ka thung e ka lungthin ni a rabui.
28 Why then do you now say: “Let us pursue him, and let us find a basis to speak against him?”
Hno coungnae a kung teh, kai dawkvah hmu awh eiteh, bangtelamaw, ahni teh rektap han, na tet awh boipawiteh,
29 So then, flee from the face of the sword, for the sword is the avenger of iniquities; but know this: there is to be a judgment.
Namamouh ni tahloi teh taket awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, lungkhueknae ni tahloi hoi reknae hah tâco sak. Lawkcengnae ao tie hah panuethai nahan telah ati.
