Job 7
1 Is there not an appointed time to man on earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?
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 servant earnestly desires the shadow, and as an hireling looks for the reward of his work:
Tâhlip dik ka doun e san patetlah, kutkapânaw ni kutphu hmu han a ngai hawi e patetlah.
3 So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
Bang hoeh e dawk thapa moikapap lah ka hno teh, khohmo runae naw hah kai hanelah ao toe.
4 When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro to 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 worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.
Ka takthai teh, pâri hoi songnawng ni muen na kayo teh, ka vuen hai cupei teh koung a kâhnoum.
6 My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.
Ka hninnaw teh, hnikawngnae yawngyen hlak hai a rang teh, ngaihawinae awm laipalah a loum.
7 O remember that my life is wind: my eye shall no more see good.
Ka hringnae teh kahlî doeh tie hah pahnim hanh, ka mit ni ahawinae bout hmawt mahoeh toe.
8 The eye of him that has seen me shall see me no more: your eyes are on me, and I am not.
Na kahmawtnaw e mit ni bout na hmawt mahoeh toe. Na mit ka tak dawk a um navah, kaawm mahoeh toe.
9 As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away: so he that goes down to the grave shall come up 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 return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.
A im vah bout ban hoeh vaiteh, a onae hmuen ni ama teh panuek mahoeh toe.
11 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
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 whale, that you set a watch over me?
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 bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaints;
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 you scare me with dreams, and terrify me through visions:
Tangmin mang lahoi na pakhi teh, kamnuenae lahoi kai na kalue sak.
15 So that my soul chooses strangling, and death rather than my life.
Ka hringnae ni ka lahuen a kara hoi duenae hah, ka takthai ni a ngaihnawn.
16 I loathe it; I would not live always: let me alone; for my days are vanity.
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 you should magnify him? and that you should set your heart on him?
Tami he banglamaw ao teh, hettelah na tawmrasang teh, a lathueng vah na lungthin pou na ta.
18 And that you should visit him every morning, and try him every moment?
Amon tangkuem na tho sin teh, nâtuek e atueng dawk hai pou na tanouk.
19 How long will you not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
Nâtuek hai na kamlang takhai laipalah, pou na khet vaiteh, ka tamtui ka padoun nahai ka madueng na tat hoeh.
20 I have sinned; what shall I do to you, O you preserver of men? why have you set me as a mark against you, so that I am a burden to myself?
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 do you not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and you shall seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
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.
