Job 6
1 Then Job responded:
Job ni a pathung teh,
2 “If my grief could be weighed and my troubles placed on the scales
Oe, ka kângairunae heh, yawcu dawk khing haw pawiteh, ka khang e runae naw hai, yawcu khingnae dawk phat naseh.
3 they would be heavier than the sand of the sea. That's why I spoke so rashly.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, palang teng e sadi hlak hai a ri han doeh. Hatdawkvah ka dei payon toe.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty are in me; their poison saps my spirit. God's terrors are lined up against me.
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.
5 Don't wild donkeys bray when their grass is gone? Don't cattle groan when they don't have food!
Kahrawng e la ni hram a papnae koe a hram boimaw,
6 Can something that's tasteless be eaten without salt? Is there any taste in the white of an egg?
Atuinae kaawm hoeh e bu teh palawi laipalah ca thai han maw. Aduirakei ka pangaw e dawk atuinae bangmaw kaawm.
7 I just can't touch any food—even the thought makes me feel sick!
Ka hringnae ni, a tek han a ngai hoeh e, kai hanelah, panuettho e rawcanaw doeh.
8 Oh, if only I could have what I really want, that God would give me what I most desire—
Oe, kahei e heh ka hmawt haw pawiteh, Cathut ni ngai poung e na poe haw pawiteh.
9 that God would be willing to crush me to death, that he would just let me die!
Pahren lahoi Cathut ni vek na khei haw na seh, A kut na pho sin nateh vitkatip lah, na tâtueng haw naseh,
10 But it still comforts me to know, making me happy through the never-ending pain, that I have never rejected the words of God.
Hottelah nakunghai, ka lungmawngnae ka tawn rah. Patawnae ni na tha hoeh nakunghai ka lunghawi han rah. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami kathounge lawk hah kâhrawk mahoeh.
11 Why should I go on waiting when I don't have the strength? Why should I keep going when I don't know what is going to happen to me?
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,
12 Am I as strong as rock? Am I made out of bronze?
Ka thaonae heh lungsong thaonae lah maw ao. Ka takthai he rahum lah maw a tho.
13 How can I help myself now that any chance of success is ripped away from me?
Ka thung vah kabawmkung awmhoeh namaw, ka kuepcingnae naw pueng kai koehoi be kampuen toung nahoehmaw.
14 Anyone who isn't kind to a friend has given up respecting the Almighty.
Bangpueng katetthai takinae a ceitakhai nakunghai, patawnae ka khang e koevah, a hui koehoi a lungmanae kamnue sak hane doeh.
15 My brothers have acted as deceptively as a desert stream, rushing waters in the desert that vanish.
Ka hmaunawnghanaw teh palang tui patetlah yuengyoe kampuen e doeh, dawngdengca dawk kahmat e palang tui patetlah ao awh.
16 The stream floods when it is full of dark ice and melting snow,
Tui a kamkak e kecu dawkvah a tamang teh, a thungvah ka kâhrawk e tadamtui patetlah ao.
17 but in the heat it dries up and disappears, vanishing from where it once was.
Abet torei teh, be kahma awh teh, a kâan torei teh amamae hmuen koehoi kahmakata awh.
18 Camel caravans turn aside to look for water, but don't find any and they die.
Amamae a lamthung dawk hoi a kamlang awh teh, nâ lahai cet laipalah kahmakata awh.
19 Caravans from Tema looked, travelers from Sheba were confident,
Teman miphun kahlawng kacetnaw ni a khet awh teh, Sheba kahlawng kacetnaw ni a ngaihawi awh.
20 but their hopes were dashed—they came and found nothing.
A ngâhawi awh dawkvah, a lungpout awh. Hawvah a pha awh torei teh, a kaya awh.
21 Now you are no help, just like that—you see my trouble and you're afraid.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, atuvah banglahai na tho awh hoeh toe. Takikatho e na hmu awh teh, na lung a puen awh.
22 Have I asked you for anything? Have I told you to bribe anyone for me from your wealth?
Na poe awh haw, telah ka dei boimaw, hoeh pawiteh, na hnopainaw dawk hoi, kai na ratang nahanelah poe awh ka ti boimaw,
23 Have I asked you to rescue me from an enemy? Have I told you to save me from my oppressors?
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.
24 Explain this to me, and I'll be quiet. Show me where I'm wrong.
Na cangkhai awh haw, duem ka o han, lawkkalan hah na panuek sak awh.
25 Honest words are painful, but what do your arguments prove?
Lannae teh, banghloimaw a tha ao. Hateiteh, na lawknaw ni bangmaw a kamceng sak.
26 Are you going to argue over what I said, when the words of someone in despair should be left to blow away in the wind?
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.
27 You would play dice to win an orphan; you would bargain away your friend!
Nangmouh niteh, naranaw hah na ka pacekpahlek awh, na huinaw hanelah tangkom na tai pouh awh.
28 Look me in the eye and see if I'm lying to your face!
Hatdawkvah, pahren lahoi khen awh haw, bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmae hmalah ka lai kathout mahoeh.
29 Don't talk like this! Don't be unjust! What I'm saying is right.
Ban awh nateh, lanhoehnae hah awm sak awh hanh, atu totouh ka kangdout e ka lannae heh tawm awh.
30 I'm not telling lies—don't you think I wouldn't know if I was wrong?”
Ka lai dawk lanhoehnae ao maw, katui hoi katui hoeh e na kapekkaboe thai awh hoeh maw.
