Job 16
1 Then responded Job, and said: —
Hahoi Job ni a pathung teh,
2 I have heard many such things, Wearisome comforters, are ye all!
Hot patet e hno teh, moikapap ka thai toe, nangmouh abuemlae lungpahawinae haiyah thathoenae hrum doeh.
3 Is there to be an end to windy words? Or what so strongly exciteth thee, that thou must respond?
Kahlî lawk teh poutnae ao maw, Hettelah pathung hane bang ni maw na tha a hmei sak.
4 I also, like you, could speak, —If your soul were in the place of my soul, I could string together words against you, and could therewith shake over you my head.
Ka kangduenae hmuen heh na kangduenae hmuen lah awm pawiteh, kai ni hai na dei awh e hah ka dei thai van han.
5 I could make you determined, by my mouth, and then my lip-solace should restrain you.
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 do speak, unassuaged is my stinging pain, —And, if I forbear, of what am I relieved?
Lawk ka dei nakunghai ka lungmathoenae roum sak thai hoeh. Duem ka o nakunghai bang alânae awm hoeh.
7 But, now, hath he wearied me, thou hast destroyed all my family;
Hateiteh, ama ni na tawn sak teh, ka huikonaw puenghai kingdi sak toe.
8 And, having captured me, it hath served, as a witness; and so my wasting away hath risen up against me, in my face, it answereth.
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 His anger, hath torn and persecuted me, He hath gnashed upon me with his teeth, Mine adversary, hath sharpened his eyes for 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, With reproach, have they smitten my cheek, Together, against me, have they closed their ranks.
Pahni na ang sin awh teh, lungroukatetlah ka tangboung dawk na tambei. Kai na taran hanelah cungtalah a kamkhueng awh.
11 GOD doth abandon me to him that is perverse, and, into the hands of the lawless, he throweth me headlong.
Cathut ni Cathut banglah ka ngaihoeh naw koe na pâseng, tamikathoutnaw kut dawk na tâkhawng.
12 At ease, was I when he shattered me, Yea he seized me by my neck, and dashed me in pieces, then set me up for himself as a 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 came round against me, He clave asunder my reins, and spared not, He poured out, on the earth, my gall:
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 made a breach in me, breach upon breach, He ran upon me, like a mighty man.
Ka hmâ dawkvah patuen patuen hmâ na paca ka pahngawpahrak e ransanaw patetlah na cusin.
15 Sackcloth, sewed I on my skin, and rolled—in the dust—my horn:
Ka vuen dawkvah, burihni ka khui sin teh, ka lû teh vaiphu dawk ka hruek.
16 My face, is reddened from weeping, and, upon mine eyelashes, is the death-shade: —
Ka ka lawi vah ka minhmai a paling teh, ka mit dawk duenae tâhlip ao.
17 Though no violence was in my hands, and, my prayer, was pure.
Ka kut dawk kahawihoehe hno kasake awm hoeh. Ka ratoumnae teh a thoung ei te.
18 O earth! do not cover my blood, and let there be no place for mine outcry.
Oe talai, ka thipaling heh ramuk han haw. Ka kanae ni kâhatnae hmuen tawn hanh naseh.
19 Even now, lo! in the heavens, is my witness,
Atu patenghai, kapanuekkhaikung teh a rasangnae koevah ao.
20 And, he that voucheth for me is on high. My friends are, they who scorn me, Unto GOD, hath mine eye shed tears: —
Ka huinaw ni na dudam awh. Cathut koe ka mitphi a lawng.
21 That one might plead, for a man, with GOD, —Even a son of man, for his friend!
Tami ni imri hanelah, a kâhei pouh e patetlah, oe Cathut koe na kâhet pouh hane awm haw pawiteh,
22 When, a few years, come, then, by a path by which I shall not return, shall I depart.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kum nâsittouh abaw hoehnahlan, bout ban hoeh nae lamthung dawk ka cei han telah ati.
