< Job 6 >

1 Then Job answered,
Job ni a pathung teh,
2 "Oh that my anguish were weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances.
Oe, ka kângairunae heh, yawcu dawk khing haw pawiteh, ka khang e runae naw hai, yawcu khingnae dawk phat naseh.
3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas, therefore have my words been rash.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, palang teng e sadi hlak hai a ri han doeh. Hatdawkvah ka dei payon toe.
4 For the arrows of Shaddai are within me. My spirit drinks up their poison. The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Athakasaipounge ni a ka e pala teh kai thung vah ao, ahnimae a sue hah ka muitha ni a nei. Cathut takinae hah ka hmalah a kamnue.
5 Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass? Or does the ox low over his fodder?
Kahrawng e la ni hram a papnae koe a hram boimaw,
6 Can that which has no flavor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
Atuinae kaawm hoeh e bu teh palawi laipalah ca thai han maw. Aduirakei ka pangaw e dawk atuinae bangmaw kaawm.
7 My soul refuses to touch them. They are as loathsome food to me.
Ka hringnae ni, a tek han a ngai hoeh e, kai hanelah, panuettho e rawcanaw doeh.
8 "Oh that I might have my request, that God would grant the thing that I long for,
Oe, kahei e heh ka hmawt haw pawiteh, Cathut ni ngai poung e na poe haw pawiteh.
9 even that it would please God to crush me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off.
Pahren lahoi Cathut ni vek na khei haw na seh, A kut na pho sin nateh vitkatip lah, na tâtueng haw naseh,
10 Be it still my consolation, yes, let me exult in pain that doesn't spare, that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
Hottelah nakunghai, ka lungmawngnae ka tawn rah. Patawnae ni na tha hoeh nakunghai ka lunghawi han rah. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami kathounge lawk hah kâhrawk mahoeh.
11 What is my strength, that I should wait? What is my end, that I should be patient?
Bangpatete thaonae maw ka tawn teh, ka ngaihawi han rah. Ka poutnae hah, banglamaw ao teh, ka hringnae ni a saw sak han rae te,
12 Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh of bronze?
Ka thaonae heh lungsong thaonae lah maw ao. Ka takthai he rahum lah maw a tho.
13 Isn't it that I have no help in me, That wisdom is driven quite from me?
Ka thung vah kabawmkung awmhoeh namaw, ka kuepcingnae naw pueng kai koehoi be kampuen toung nahoehmaw.
14 "To the despairing, kindness should be shown from his friend; even to him who forsakes the fear of Shaddai.
Bangpueng katetthai takinae a ceitakhai nakunghai, patawnae ka khang e koevah, a hui koehoi a lungmanae kamnue sak hane doeh.
15 My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, as the channel of brooks that pass away;
Ka hmaunawnghanaw teh palang tui patetlah yuengyoe kampuen e doeh, dawngdengca dawk kahmat e palang tui patetlah ao awh.
16 Which are black by reason of the ice, in which the snow hides itself.
Tui a kamkak e kecu dawkvah a tamang teh, a thungvah ka kâhrawk e tadamtui patetlah ao.
17 In the dry season, they vanish. When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
Abet torei teh, be kahma awh teh, a kâan torei teh amamae hmuen koehoi kahmakata awh.
18 The caravans that travel beside them turn aside. They go up into the waste, and perish.
Amamae a lamthung dawk hoi a kamlang awh teh, nâ lahai cet laipalah kahmakata awh.
19 The caravans of Tema looked. The companies of Sheba waited for them.
Teman miphun kahlawng kacetnaw ni a khet awh teh, Sheba kahlawng kacetnaw ni a ngaihawi awh.
20 They were distressed because they were confident. They came there, and were confounded.
A ngâhawi awh dawkvah, a lungpout awh. Hawvah a pha awh torei teh, a kaya awh.
21 For now you are nothing. You see a terror, and are afraid.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, atuvah banglahai na tho awh hoeh toe. Takikatho e na hmu awh teh, na lung a puen awh.
22 Did I say, 'Give to me?' or, 'Offer a present for me from your substance?'
Na poe awh haw, telah ka dei boimaw, hoeh pawiteh, na hnopainaw dawk hoi, kai na ratang nahanelah poe awh ka ti boimaw,
23 or, 'Deliver me from the adversary's hand?' or, 'Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors?'
Hoeh pawiteh, ka tarannaw e kut dawk hoi na rungngang awh haw, ka ti boimaw, hoeh pawiteh, kai ka hnephnap e koehoi na ratang awh ka ti boimaw.
24 "Teach me, and I will hold my peace. Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
Na cangkhai awh haw, duem ka o han, lawkkalan hah na panuek sak awh.
25 How forcible are words of uprightness. But your reproof, what does it reprove?
Lannae teh, banghloimaw a tha ao. Hateiteh, na lawknaw ni bangmaw a kamceng sak.
26 Do you intend to reprove words, seeing that the speeches of one who is desperate are as wind?
Lawk ka dei e naw heh yonpen hane maw na ngai awh. Ngaihawinae ka tawn hoeh e tami ni a dei e lawk teh, kahlî patetlah doeh ao.
27 Yes, you would even cast lots for the fatherless, and make merchandise of your friend.
Nangmouh niteh, naranaw hah na ka pacekpahlek awh, na huinaw hanelah tangkom na tai pouh awh.
28 Now therefore be pleased to look at me, for surely I shall not lie to your face.
Hatdawkvah, pahren lahoi khen awh haw, bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmae hmalah ka lai kathout mahoeh.
29 Please return. Let there be no injustice. Yes, return again. My cause is righteous.
Ban awh nateh, lanhoehnae hah awm sak awh hanh, atu totouh ka kangdout e ka lannae heh tawm awh.
30 Is there injustice on my tongue? Can't my taste discern mischievous things?
Ka lai dawk lanhoehnae ao maw, katui hoi katui hoeh e na kapekkaboe thai awh hoeh maw.
