Job 17
1 My spirit shall be wasted, my days shall be shortened, and only the grave remaineth for me.
Ka mueihla he pat tih ka khohnin loh khum coeng, kai hamla coeng tih phuel om coeng.
2 I have not sinned, and my eye abideth in bitterness.
Ka taengah a omsasaipat pai moenih a? Te dongah amih koek ham khaw ka mik ah rhaeh pai saeh.
3 Deliver me O Lord, and set me beside thee, and let any man’s hand fight against me.
Kai kah rhikhang he namah hamla khueh laeh. Anih te ulong ka kut dongla a khoom eh?
4 Thou hast set their heart far from understanding, therefore they shall not be exalted.
Amih kah lungbuei te lungmingnah lamloh na khoem pah coeng. Te dongah na pomsang sak mahpawh.
5 He promiseth a prey to his companions, and the eyes of his children shall fail.
Khoyo la a hui a phoe vaengah a ca rhoek mik tah hma coeng.
6 He hath made me as it were a byword of the people, and I am an example before them.
Kai he pilnam kah a thuidoek la n'khueh tih maelhmai dongkah timthoeihnah la ka om.
7 My eye is dim through indignation, and my limbs are brought as it were to nothing.
Ka mik he konoinah neh hmang coeng tih ka pumrho he khokhawn bangla boeih om.
8 The just shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall be raised up against the hypocrite.
Te dongah aka thuem khaw a pong sak tih lailak taengah ommongsitoe a haenghang sak.
9 And the just man shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
Tedae aka dueng loh amah longpuei te a tuuk vetih a kut cim khaw a thaa sai ni.
10 Wherefore be you all converted, and come, and I shall not find among you any wise man.
Amih te boeih na mael sak uh coeng. Na pawk uh to cakhaw nangmih ah hlangcueih ka hmu mahpawh.
11 My days have passed away, my thoughts are dissipated, tormenting my heart.
Ka khohnin loh thok coeng. Ka thinko kah kohnek la ka poeknah mawth coeng.
12 They have turned night into day, and after darkness I hope for light again.
Khoyin te khothaih la a khueh tih, a hmuep tom te vangnah neh a yoei sak.
Saelkhui te ka im bangla ka lamtawn tih, hmaisuep ah ka rhaenghmuen ka saelh. (Sheol h7585)
14 If I have said to rottenness: Thou art my father; to worms, my mother and my sister.
Vaam taengah, “A pa nang,” ka ti nah tih a rhit taengah, “A nu neh ka ngannu,” ka ti nah coeng.
15 Where is now then my expectation, and who considereth my patience?
Te dongah menim ka ngaiuepnah tih ka ngaiuepnah he unim aka mae?
