< Job 10 >

1 Weary in my soul, I will pour my words with groans upon him: I will speak being straitened in the bitterness of my soul.
Kamae ka hringnae ka panuet. Ka phuenangnae ka pâpho ngala han. Ka hringnae a rek hoi lawk ka dei han.
2 And I will say to the Lord, Do not teach me to be impious; and therefore have you thus judged me?
Cathut koe yon na pen hanh, bangdawkmaw na taran, na hmawt sak haw, telah ka ti han.
3 Is it good before you if I be unrighteous? for you have disowned the work of your hands, and attended to the counsel of the ungodly.
Tami repcoungroe lahoi na kutsak tami hah dudam teh, tamikathoutnaw khokhang e hnâbokhaie heh, ahawi telah na pouk maw.
4 Or do you see as a mortal sees? or will you look as a man sees?
Takthai e mit maw na tawn, tami ni a hmu e patetlah maw na hmu van maw.
5 Or is your life human, or your years [the years] of a man,
Namae hninnaw hai tami e hnin patetlah maw ao. Namae kumnaw teh, tami e hnin patetlah maw ao.
6 that you have enquired into mine iniquity, and searched out my sins?
tamikathout lah ka ohoehnae hah na panue eiteh, na kut dawk hoi ka rungngang thai e awm hoeh tie hah na panue nahlangva,
7 For you know that I have not committed iniquity: but who is he that can deliver out of your hands?
Ka payonpakai e naw hah na tawng teh, ka yonnae hah na pâphue.
8 Your hands have formed me and made me; afterwards you did change [your mind], and strike me.
Namae na kut hoi na sak teh, ka kuepcingcalah na pathoup. Hateiteh, namae kut ni bout na raphoe.
9 Remember that you have made me [as] clay, and you do turn me again to earth.
Nama ni talai e na sak tie hah na pahnim hoeh nahan ka kâhei, vaiphu lah maw bout na coung sak han.
10 Hast you not poured me out like milk, and curdled me like cheese?
Nama ni sanutui patetlah na rabawk teh, sanutui kamkak patetlah na pahlawm nahoehmaw.
11 And you did clothe me with skin and flesh, and frame me with bones and sinews.
Nama ni ka vuen hoi takthai na ramuk. Ka hru hoi ka tharui hoi na caksak nahoehmaw.
12 And you did bestow upon me life and mercy, and your oversight has preserved my spirit.
Nama ni ka hringnae hoi pahrennae na poe teh, na khetyawtnae ni ka muitha teh a lungmawng sak.
13 Having these things in yourself, I know that you can do all things; for nothing is impossible with you.
Hete hnonaw heh na lungthin thung vah na hro teh, namae thung vah ao tie hah ka panue.
14 And if I should sin, you watch me; and you have not cleared me from iniquity.
Ka yon pawiteh nama ni na panue han. Ka payonpakai e dawk hoi na hlout sak hoeh.
15 Or if I should be ungodly, woe is me: and if I should be righteous, I can’t lift myself up, for I am full of dishonor.
Tamikathout lah kaawm pawiteh, yawthoe lah ka o han, tamikalan lah ka o nakunghai, minhmai kahawi kahmawt thai mahoeh. Kayayeirai hoi runae hoi kakawi e la ka o.
16 For I am hunted like a lion for slaughter; for again you have changed and are terribly destroying me;
Ka kâoup pawiteh, ka matheng e Sendek patetlah, hmâ na ca sak. Kai taranlahoi takikathopounge bout na kamnue sak.
17 renewing against me my torture: and you have dealt with me in great anger, and you have brought trials upon me.
Kai na ka taran hane ka panuekkhaie patuen patuen na tha teh, kai dawk na lungkuephoehnae na pung sak. Dumyennae hoi tarantuknae hah, kai koe pou ao.
18 Why then did you bring me out of the womb? and why did I not die, and no eye see me,
Bangdawkmaw camo im dawk hoi na tâcosak. Oe apinihai na hmawt laipalah kadout boi pawiteh;
19 and I become as if I had not been? for why was I not carried from the womb to the grave?
Kaawmhoehe patetlah ka o han ei, Camo im thung hoi phuen lah ceikhai lah ka o han ei.
20 Is not the time of my life short? suffer me to rest a little,
Ka hninnaw heh, ka younca e nahoehmaw. Ka cei vaiteh bout ka ban thai hoeh nahanlah, duenae tâhlip hoi hmonae ram dawk ka cei hoehnahlan vah.
21 before I go whence I shall not return, to a land of darkness and gloominess;
Lungmawngnae dawngdeng hai ka hmu nahanelah, ka kâhat pawiteh, ka mahmawk na awm sak awh.
22 to a land of perpetual darkness, where there is no light, neither [can any one] see the life of mortals.
Ama lungpouk ka hmawt e, kingkahmawt e ram, duenae tâhlip patetlah, banghai ka awmhoeh e, angnae hai hmonae patetlah a onae hmuen koe, telah ati.
