Job 7
1 “Is there not warfare to man on earth? And his days as the days of a hired worker?
Kami loe thanathaih hoiah na ai maw long nuiah toksak? A hinghaih ninawk doeh toksak han tlai ih kami ih ninawk baktiah na ai maw oh?
2 As a servant desires the shadow, And as a hired worker expects his wage,
Tamna mah tahlip to zing moe, tlai ih toksah kami mah toktho zing baktih toengah,
3 So I have been caused to inherit months of vanity, And they numbered nights of misery to me.
kai doeh khrah paroeai thungah ka sak ih tok loe azom pui ah ni oh, aqumnawk doeh kai patangkhanghaih ah ni oh.
4 If I lay down, then I have said, When do I rise, And evening has been measured? And I have been full of tossings until dawn.
Ka iih naah, natuek naah maw aqum hae boeng ueloe, kang thawk han? tiah ka poek; to tiah akhawnbang khodai khoek to ahnuk ahmaa kam let.
5 My flesh has been clothed [with] worms, And a clod of dust, My skin has been shriveled and is loathsome,
Ka ngan loe alungh hoi maiphu mah khuk khoep boeh; ka nganhin loe akah rak moe, ahnai to tacawt.
6 My days swifter than a loom, And they are consumed without hope.
Ka hinghaih aninawk loe kahni sah kami ih camprai pongah rang kue moe, oephaih om ai ah laemh o.
7 Remember that my life [is] a breath, My eye does not turn back to see good.
Aw ka hinghaih loe takhi ah ni oh, tiah panoek ah; ka mik mah hoihhaih roe hnu mak ai boeh.
8 The eye of my beholder does not behold me. Your eyes [are] on me—and I am not.
Vaihi kai hnu kaminawk mah, kai na hnu o let mak ai boeh; nang khet naah, ka om mak ai boeh.
9 A cloud has been consumed, and it goes, So he who is going down to Sheol does not come up. (Sheol h7585)
Kanghmaa tamai baktiah, taprong ah caeh tathuk kami loe, amlaem let mak ai boeh. (Sheol h7585)
10 He does not turn to his house again, Nor does his place discern him again.
Anih loe angmah im ah amlaem let mak ai boeh; a ohhaih ahmuen mah doeh anih to panoek mak ai boeh.
11 Also I do not withhold my mouth—I speak in the distress of my spirit, I talk in the bitterness of my soul.
To pongah pakha hae kang sumh mak ai; patangkhang ka muithla hoiah lok ka thuih moe, khosak kasae ka hinghaih hoiah lok ka thuih han.
12 Am I a sea [monster], or a dragon, That You set a watch over me?
Kai loe tuipui ah maw ka oh, tuipui thung ih tanga pui ah maw ka oh moe, kai toepkung na suek?
13 When I said, My bed comforts me, In my talking He takes away my couch.
Ka iihkhun mah kamongah anghaksak ueloe, kang song naah ka nathaih hoikhang tih mue, tiah ka poek,
14 And You have frightened me with dreams, And You terrify me from visions,
to naah amaang sae mah kai ang pazih, hnuksakhaih mah ang tasoehsak;
15 And my soul chooses strangling, Death rather than my bones.
to pongah ka hing pongah loe, tahnong panamh moe, duek to ka koeh kue boeh.
16 I have wasted away—I do not live for all time. Cease from me, for my days [are] vanity.
Ka hinghaih hae ka panuet; ka hing poe mak ai; kaimabueng na omsak ah; ka hinghaih aninawk loe avanghaih tidoeh om ai.
17 What [is] man that You magnify him? And that You set Your heart to him?
Kami loe kawbangah maw oh moe, anih to na pakoeh? Anih to na poek?
18 And inspect him in the mornings, [And] in the evenings try him?
Anih to akhawnbang kruek na paqaih thuih moe, anih to na tanoek tuektuek?
19 How long do You not look from me? You do not desist until I swallow my spittle.
Kai caeh taak ai ah nasetto maw na oh han vop, kaimah ih tamtui paaeh karoek to, kaimabueng nang omsak mak ai maw?
20 I have sinned, what do I do to You, O watcher of man? Why have You set me for a mark to You, And I am for a burden to myself—and what?
Aw kaminawk toepkung, kai loe ka zae boeh maw? Na hmaa ah timaw ka sak? Tipongah kaimah han hmuenzit ah ka oh hanah, kah han na patoep ih hmuen ah nang suek loe?
21 You do not take away my transgression, And [do not] cause my iniquity to pass away, Because now, I lie down in dust, And You have sought me—and I am not!”
Tipongah ka sakpazaehaih nang tahmen ai, ka zaehaih doeh nang takhoe pae ving ai loe? Kai loe vaihi maiphu pongah kang song han boeh; akhawnbangah nang pakrong tih, toe ka om mak ai boeh, tiah a naa.
