Job 16
1 Then Job answered and said,
Hahoi Job ni a pathung teh,
2 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.
Hot patet e hno teh, moikapap ka thai toe, nangmouh abuemlae lungpahawinae haiyah thathoenae hrum doeh.
3 Shall vain words have an end? or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?
Kahlî lawk teh poutnae ao maw, Hettelah pathung hane bang ni maw na tha a hmei sak.
4 I also could speak as ye do; if your soul were in my soul’s stead, I could join words together against you, and shake mine head at you.
Ka kangduenae hmuen heh na kangduenae hmuen lah awm pawiteh, kai ni hai na dei awh e hah ka dei thai van han.
5 [But] I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the solace of my lips should assuage [your grief].
Hateiteh, ka pahni ni tha na o sak awh han. Ka pahni dawk hoi lungroumnae lawk ni na lungmathoenae a kahma sak han.
6 Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?
Lawk ka dei nakunghai ka lungmathoenae roum sak thai hoeh. Duem ka o nakunghai bang alânae awm hoeh.
7 But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
Hateiteh, ama ni na tawn sak teh, ka huikonaw puenghai kingdi sak toe.
8 And thou hast laid fast hold on me, [which] is a witness [against me]: and my leanness riseth up against me, it testifieth to my face.
Nama ni khakkatek teh, hot ni kai hanelah kapanuekkhaikung lah ao. Ka kamsoenae ni yon na pen teh, hot ni ka minhmai dawk ka panuek khai e lah ao.
9 He hath torn me in his wrath, and persecuted me; he hath gnashed upon me with his teeth: mine adversary sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
A lungkhueknae ni rekrek na sei teh, na hmuhma. A hâkam na kata sin teh, ka taran ni na hmaiet.
10 They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully: they gather themselves together against me.
Pahni na ang sin awh teh, lungroukatetlah ka tangboung dawk na tambei. Kai na taran hanelah cungtalah a kamkhueng awh.
11 God delivereth me to the ungodly, and casteth me into the hands of the wicked.
Cathut ni Cathut banglah ka ngaihoeh naw koe na pâseng, tamikathoutnaw kut dawk na tâkhawng.
12 I was at ease, and he brake me asunder; yea, he hath taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces: he hath also set me up for his mark.
Kanawmcalah ka o eiteh, ama ni rekrek na bawng. Ka lahuen dawk na man teh, bengbeng na kahuet teh, rek ka kâbawng, kai teh tâkhawng hanelah ka o.
13 His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
Ahnie pala kakanaw ni na kalup awh. Ka lung poukkayawng lah na ka teh, na pahren hoeh, talai dawk ka hmu e tui hah a ka rabawk.
14 He breaketh me with breach upon breach; he runneth upon me like a giant.
Ka hmâ dawkvah patuen patuen hmâ na paca ka pahngawpahrak e ransanaw patetlah na cusin.
15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and have laid my horn in the dust.
Ka vuen dawkvah, burihni ka khui sin teh, ka lû teh vaiphu dawk ka hruek.
16 My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
Ka ka lawi vah ka minhmai a paling teh, ka mit dawk duenae tâhlip ao.
17 Although there is no violence in mine hands, and my prayer is pure.
Ka kut dawk kahawihoehe hno kasake awm hoeh. Ka ratoumnae teh a thoung ei te.
18 O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no [resting] place.
Oe talai, ka thipaling heh ramuk han haw. Ka kanae ni kâhatnae hmuen tawn hanh naseh.
19 Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and he that coucheth for me is on high.
Atu patenghai, kapanuekkhaikung teh a rasangnae koevah ao.
20 My friends scorn me: [but] mine eye poureth out tears unto God;
Ka huinaw ni na dudam awh. Cathut koe ka mitphi a lawng.
21 That he would maintain the right of a man with God, and of a son of man with his neighbour!
Tami ni imri hanelah, a kâhei pouh e patetlah, oe Cathut koe na kâhet pouh hane awm haw pawiteh,
22 For when a few years are come, I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kum nâsittouh abaw hoehnahlan, bout ban hoeh nae lamthung dawk ka cei han telah ati.
