Job 14
1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
Napui ni a khe e tami teh, a hring kaduem ni teh runae hoi kakawi e doeh.
2 He cometh forth like a flower, and withereth; he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
A pei patetlah a kamdat teh bout a kamyai. Tâhlip patetlah a kampuen teh, bout awm hoeh toe.
3 And dost Thou open Thine eyes upon such a one, and bringest me into judgment with Thee?
Hot patetlae dawkvah, na mit na padai teh, lawkcengnae dawk nama koe na ceikhai han na maw.
4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
Apinimaw kathounghoehe dawk hoi, na thoung e a la thai han, apinihai lat thai mahoeh.
5 Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with Thee, and Thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
A hninnaw hah atueng khoe hnukkhu hoi, thapa nâyittouh maw tie hah na kut dawk ao. A tapuet thai hoeh nahanelah khori hoi a ngang pouh.
6 Look away from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
Kut ka pâ e tami patetlah a hninnaw aloum totouh, a kâhat thai nahanelah ahni teh kamlang takhai haw.
7 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, thing teh tâtueng nakunghai bout a bawt hane letlang hngaihawinae ao rah. A cakang bout a bawt han.
8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
Talai dawk a khawngyang kahmawn nakunghai kadout nakunghai.
9 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a plant.
Tui kahû dawk bout bawt vaiteh, ung e patetlah a cakang a tâco han doeh.
10 But man dieth, and lieth low; yea, man perisheth, and where is he?
Hateiteh, tami teh a due hoi pakawp teh a kahma toe, tami teh a kâha a baw teh namaw ao.
11 As the waters fail from the sea, and the river is drained dry;
Talî dawk e tui a kahma teh, tuipui hai a hak teh be a ke.
12 So man lieth down and riseth not; till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.
Hot patetlah tami hai a yan teh thaw hoeh toe. Kalvannaw ao hoeh totouh hai kâhlaw hoe toe. Hoeh pawiteh, muet a inae koehoi kâhlaw mahoeh toe.
13 Oh that Thou wouldest hide me in the nether-world, that Thou wouldest keep me secret, until Thy wrath be past, that Thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! — (Sheol h7585)
Oe phuen koe na hrawk sak haw, na lungkhueknae a roum hoeh roukrak na hrawk haw, atueng hah na pouk pouh nateh, na pahnim hanh. (Sheol h7585)
14 If a man die, may he live again? All the days of my service would I wait, till my relief should come —
Ka kâthungnae atueng a pha totouh, tami dout pawiteh, bout a hring han namaw Ka ru e ka thawnaw dawk hoi ka ring han.
15 Thou wouldest call, and I would answer Thee; Thou wouldest have a desire to the work of Thy hands.
Na kaw vaiteh, na pato han. Nama ni na kut hoi na sak e teh na pahren han.
16 But now Thou numberest my steps, Thou dost not even wait for my sin;
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka khokhnuknaw pueng be na touk. Hateiteh, ka yonnae naw hah na khen pouh hanh.
17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and Thou heapest up mine iniquity.
Kâtapoenae hah, yawngya thung khakkin e naw lah ao teh, ka payonpakai e hah na ramuk.
18 And surely the mountain falling crumbleth away, and the rock is removed out of its place;
Hateiteh, mon katim e patetlah, talung teh a onae hmuen koehoi puen e patetlah,
19 The waters wear the stones; the overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth; so Thou destroyest the hope of man.
tui ni talung pekpacin e patetlah, tuikalen ni talai kahawi a ceikhai e patetlah, tami e ngaihawi e hah na raphoe.
20 Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth; Thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
Ama teh poe na tâ teh, be a kahma awh. A mei na kâthungsak teh, alouklah na cei sak.
21 His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he regardeth them not.
A capanaw a tawmrasang e hah panuek awh hoeh. Ahnimouh pabo lah o awh e hai kâhmawt thai hoeh.
22 But his flesh grieveth for him, and his soul mourneth over him.
Hateiteh, a takthai hah patawnae dawk ao vaiteh, a hringnae ni ama a khui han telah a ti.
