Job 16
1 And Job answered and said,
Hahoi Job ni a pathung teh,
2 I have heard many such things: grievous comforters are ye all.
Hot patet e hno teh, moikapap ka thai toe, nangmouh abuemlae lungpahawinae haiyah thathoenae hrum doeh.
3 Shall words of wind have an end? or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?
Kahlî lawk teh poutnae ao maw, Hettelah pathung hane bang ni maw na tha a hmei sak.
4 I also could speak as ye: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could join together words against you, and shake my head at you;
Ka kangduenae hmuen heh na kangduenae hmuen lah awm pawiteh, kai ni hai na dei awh e hah ka dei thai van han.
5 [But] I would encourage you with my mouth, and the solace of my lips should assuage [your pain].
Hateiteh, ka pahni ni tha na o sak awh han. Ka pahni dawk hoi lungroumnae lawk ni na lungmathoenae a kahma sak han.
6 If I speak, my pain is not assuaged; and if I forbear, what am I eased?
Lawk ka dei nakunghai ka lungmathoenae roum sak thai hoeh. Duem ka o nakunghai bang alânae awm hoeh.
7 But now he hath made me weary; ...thou hast made desolate all my family;
Hateiteh, ama ni na tawn sak teh, ka huikonaw puenghai kingdi sak toe.
8 Thou hast shrivelled me up! it is become a witness; and my leanness riseth up against me, it beareth witness to my face.
Nama ni khakkatek teh, hot ni kai hanelah kapanuekkhaikung lah ao. Ka kamsoenae ni yon na pen teh, hot ni ka minhmai dawk ka panuek khai e lah ao.
9 His anger teareth and pursueth me; he gnasheth with his teeth against me; [as] mine adversary he sharpeneth his eyes at me.
A lungkhueknae ni rekrek na sei teh, na hmuhma. A hâkam na kata sin teh, ka taran ni na hmaiet.
10 They gape upon me with their mouth; they smite my cheeks reproachfully; they range themselves together against me.
Pahni na ang sin awh teh, lungroukatetlah ka tangboung dawk na tambei. Kai na taran hanelah cungtalah a kamkhueng awh.
11 God hath delivered me over to the iniquitous man, and hurled me into the hands of the wicked.
Cathut ni Cathut banglah ka ngaihoeh naw koe na pâseng, tamikathoutnaw kut dawk na tâkhawng.
12 I was at rest, but he hath shattered me; he hath taken me by the neck and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
Kanawmcalah ka o eiteh, ama ni rekrek na bawng. Ka lahuen dawk na man teh, bengbeng na kahuet teh, rek ka kâbawng, kai teh tâkhawng hanelah ka o.
13 His arrows encompass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
Ahnie pala kakanaw ni na kalup awh. Ka lung poukkayawng lah na ka teh, na pahren hoeh, talai dawk ka hmu e tui hah a ka rabawk.
14 He breaketh me with breach upon breach; he runneth upon me like a mighty man.
Ka hmâ dawkvah patuen patuen hmâ na paca ka pahngawpahrak e ransanaw patetlah na cusin.
15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and rolled my horn in the dust.
Ka vuen dawkvah, burihni ka khui sin teh, ka lû teh vaiphu dawk ka hruek.
16 My face is red with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
Ka ka lawi vah ka minhmai a paling teh, ka mit dawk duenae tâhlip ao.
17 Although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.
Ka kut dawk kahawihoehe hno kasake awm hoeh. Ka ratoumnae teh a thoung ei te.
18 O earth, cover not my blood, and let there be no place for my cry!
Oe talai, ka thipaling heh ramuk han haw. Ka kanae ni kâhatnae hmuen tawn hanh naseh.
19 Even now, behold, my Witness is in the heavens, and he that voucheth for me is in the heights.
Atu patenghai, kapanuekkhaikung teh a rasangnae koevah ao.
20 My friends are my mockers; mine eye poureth out tears unto God.
Ka huinaw ni na dudam awh. Cathut koe ka mitphi a lawng.
21 Oh that there were arbitration for a man with God, as a son of man for his friend!
Tami ni imri hanelah, a kâhei pouh e patetlah, oe Cathut koe na kâhet pouh hane awm haw pawiteh,
22 For years [few] in number shall pass, — and I shall go the way [whence] I shall not return.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kum nâsittouh abaw hoehnahlan, bout ban hoeh nae lamthung dawk ka cei han telah ati.
