Job 7
1 Is there not an appointed time to man vpon earth? and are not his dayes as the dayes of an hyreling?
Talaivan dawkvah tami hanelah thaw ka ru e thaw a onae tueng ouk ao nahoehmaw, a hninnaw hai kutkapânaw e hnin patetlah awm hoeh namaw.
2 As a seruant longeth for the shadowe, and as an hyreling looketh for the ende of his worke,
Tâhlip dik ka doun e san patetlah, kutkapânaw ni kutphu hmu han a ngai hawi e patetlah.
3 So haue I had as an inheritance the moneths of vanitie, and painefull nights haue bene appointed vnto me.
Bang hoeh e dawk thapa moikapap lah ka hno teh, khohmo runae naw hah kai hanelah ao toe.
4 If I layed me downe, I sayde, When shall I arise? and measuring the euening I am euen full with tossing to and from vnto the dawning of the day.
Ka i na koehoi, nâtuek maw ka thaw han. Karum heh baw nah lawiseh ka ti. Bangkongtetpawiteh, khodai totouh kamhmei kamlang hoi ka o.
5 My flesh is clothed with wormes and filthinesse of the dust: my skinne is rent, and become horrible.
Ka takthai teh, pâri hoi songnawng ni muen na kayo teh, ka vuen hai cupei teh koung a kâhnoum.
6 My dayes are swifter then a weauers shittle, and they are spent without hope.
Ka hninnaw teh, hnikawngnae yawngyen hlak hai a rang teh, ngaihawinae awm laipalah a loum.
7 Remember that my life is but a wind, and that mine eye shall not returne to see pleasure.
Ka hringnae teh kahlî doeh tie hah pahnim hanh, ka mit ni ahawinae bout hmawt mahoeh toe.
8 The eye that hath seene me, shall see me no more: thine eyes are vpon me, and I shall be no longer.
Na kahmawtnaw e mit ni bout na hmawt mahoeh toe. Na mit ka tak dawk a um navah, kaawm mahoeh toe.
9 As the cloude vanisheth and goeth away, so he that goeth downe to the graue, shall come vp no more. (Sheol h7585)
Tâmai kâhin teh, a kahma e patetlah, duenae tangkom thung ka cet e ni bout ban mahoeh toe. (Sheol h7585)
10 He shall returne no more to his house, neither shall his place knowe him any more.
A im vah bout ban hoeh vaiteh, a onae hmuen ni ama teh panuek mahoeh toe.
11 Therefore I will not spare my mouth, but will speake in the trouble of my spirite, and muse in the bitternesse of my minde.
Hatdawkvah ka pahni ka cakuep mahoeh. Ka muitha rek na laihoi ka dei vaiteh, kakhat e ka hringnae hoi lai ka roe han.
12 Am I a sea or a whalefish, that thou keepest me in warde?
Kai teh, talî lah maw ka tho. Nahoeh pawiteh, talî dawk e khorui lah maw ka tho teh, na karingkung hah na ta pouh.
13 When I say, My couch shall relieue me, and my bed shall bring comfort in my meditation,
Ka ikhun ni ka ngai a mawng sak han. Ka yannae ikhun ni ka phuenangnae a roum sak han telah ka ti navah,
14 Then fearest thou me with dreames, and astonishest me with visions.
Tangmin mang lahoi na pakhi teh, kamnuenae lahoi kai na kalue sak.
15 Therefore my soule chuseth rather to be strangled and to die, then to be in my bones.
Ka hringnae ni ka lahuen a kara hoi duenae hah, ka takthai ni a ngaihnawn.
16 I abhorre it, I shall not liue alway: spare me then, for my dayes are but vanitie.
Ka hringnae he ka hnueai teh, yungyoe ka hring mahoeh. Kama dueng na awm sak awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka hringnae teh a kahû lah doeh ao.
17 What is man, that thou doest magnifie him, and that thou settest thine heart vpon him?
Tami he banglamaw ao teh, hettelah na tawmrasang teh, a lathueng vah na lungthin pou na ta.
18 And doest visite him euery morning, and tryest him euery moment?
Amon tangkuem na tho sin teh, nâtuek e atueng dawk hai pou na tanouk.
19 Howe long will it be yer thou depart from me? thou wilt not let me alone whiles I may swallowe my spettle.
Nâtuek hai na kamlang takhai laipalah, pou na khet vaiteh, ka tamtui ka padoun nahai ka madueng na tat hoeh.
20 I haue sinned, what shall I do vnto thee? O thou preseruer of me, why hast thou set me as a marke against thee, so that I am a burden vnto my selfe?
Yonnae ka tawn maw, oe taminaw ka ring e, nang lathueng vah bangmaw ka sak. Bangdawkmaw na hmaitung vah telah na o sak teh, kama hoi kama hnori lah na o sak.
21 And why doest thou not pardon my trespasse? and take away mine iniquitie? for nowe shall I sleepe in the dust, and if thou seekest me in the morning, I shall not be found.
Bangdawkmaw na kâ ka eknae hah na ngaithoum laipalah, ka payonpakainae hah na lat pouh hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, vaiphu dawk ka i vaiteh, nama ni kai na tawng han, hatei kaawm mahoeh toe atipouh.
