Job 14
1 “We humans are very frail. We live only a short time, and we experience a lot of trouble.
Mihem hinkho hi ichan a lhasam a hitam? Hinkho hi ichanna choma ichanna gentheina dimsetna hitam?
2 We disappear quickly, like flowers that grow from the ground quickly and then wither and die [SIM]. We are like shadows that disappear [when the sun stops shining].
Pahcha bangin ahung pah doh un chule agop lhaji tai, nilim kihei banginamang loi jitai.
3 [Yahweh, ] why do you keep watching me [to see if I am doing something that is wrong] [RHQ]? Are you wanting to take me to court to judge me?
Hitobang bep hinkho lhasam tah thilsem hi namitna navet jing ding hija chule keija konna kahin nikho jat sutoh dinga nei ngeh ham?
4 People are sinners from the time when they are born; who can cause them to be sinless? No one [RHQ]!
Miboh a konna thenna kon apohdoh jou ding ham? Khat chan jong podoh thei ponte.
5 You have decided how long our lives will be. You have decided how many months we will live, and we cannot live more months than the (limit/number of months) that you have decided.
Kahin khou jong achom asau teptohsa nakoi ahin, lha ijat kahin diu ham tijong nahetsa ahi. Chule mitphet kah khat hin be ding jong neiphal peh pouve.
6 So please stop examining us, and allow us to be alone, until/while we finish our time [here on earth], like a man finishes his work [at the end of the day].
Hijeh chun kachangun nei dalhauvin chule kicholdo tauvinge. Keiho khut thalah tobang kahiuvin hijeh chun lung mongin kana toh u neitoh jou sah un.
7 If someone cuts a tree down, we hope that it will sprout again and grow new branches.
Thingphung jengin jong keinepna tam jo aneiyin kisatlhu jeng ta jong leh hung don thah kit intin, chule abah tamtah hung dondoh kit inte.
8 Its roots in the ground may be very old, and its stump may decay,
Leinoiya ajung ho chu kikhan lhit henlang thi tajongle, chule aphung chu mot tajong leh,
9 but if some water falls on it, it may bud/sprout and send up shoots like a young plant.
Twi thalhin jallin hungdonthah kit intin akeh thah bangin hung itt hah inte.
10 But when we people lose all our strength and die, we stop breathing and then we are gone [forever].
Ahinlah mihem ho athi teng vangleh athahat nau chemang ji ahitan, ahainau akichai teng leh hoiya umjiu hitam?
11 Just like water evaporates from the ocean, or like a riverbed dries up,
Dilla konna twi ahua alen bangin, vadung jong nichangsat teng abeimang jitai.
12 people [lie down and die and] do not get up again. Until the heavens disappear, people who die [EUP] do not wake up, and no one can wake them up.
Mihem hohi thoukit talou dingin choldo din akilup sah ji'e. Vanho abeihel kah sea amaho thoukit lou ding ahiuve.
13 [“Yahweh, ] I wish that you would put me safely in the place of the dead and forget about me until you are no longer angry with me. I wish that you would decide how much time I would spend there, and then remember [that] I [am there]. (Sheol h7585)
Nangin lhankhuh a neisol mang ding kanome, chule nalung hanna achemang soh kahsen nei sumil hel jengin, ahinlah nei geldoh kit nadingin nikhosim na a namelchih in, (Sheol h7585)
14 When we humans die, we will certainly not live again [RHQ]. If [I knew that] we would live again, I would wait patiently, and I would wait for you to release me [from my sufferings].
Mithi chu hing thei kit ding ham? Chuti ahileh hahsat gentheina kadouna kum ho a hi kinepna nei peh ding ahi. Chule ken thina a kilhadoh ding chu kanga jing ding ahi.
15 You would call me, and I would answer. You would be eager to see me, one of the creatures that you had made.
Nangin nei kouvin natin chule ken kadonbut ding nahi. Chule nakhut semsa keima neimu nom ding ahi.
16 You would take care of [MET] me, instead of watching me to see if I would sin.
Kachonsetna ho jouse navet khella nangin kakal son jousea neihonbit ding ahi.
17 [It is as though the record of] my sins would be sealed in a small bag, and you would cover them up.
Ka chonsetna jouse sakhao sunga nakhum tup a chule kathemmo na nakhu khum ding ahi.
18 “But, just like mountains crumble and rocks fall down from a cliff,
Ahinlah molsang ho ahal halla akelhah a akitol lhah khella chule songho kola akitahlhah banga,
19 and just like water slowly wears away the stones, and just like floods wash away soil, [you eventually destroy us]; you do not allow us to continue to (hope/confidently expect) [that we will keep on living].
Twijin songho alhoh lhah a chule twisoh in leiset alhoh mang banga chu nangin mihemte kinepna nasuhmang pehji ahi.
20 You always defeat us, and then we die [EUP]. You cause our faces to look ugly after we die, and you send us away.
Nangin amaho chu hunam in nabol in, chule amun adalha jitauve. Nangin amaho chu thina in nasu melsen chule nasol mang jitai.
21 [When we die] we do not know if our sons will grow up and [do things that will cause them to] be honored. And if they become disgraced, we do not see that, [either].
Achateu atuteu jabol theija khangdoh hinauvem ti amahon ahepha naisai pouvin ahilouleh hetkham louvin a lhum mang jitauve.
22 We will feel our own pains; we will not feel anything else; we will be sorry for ourselves, not for anyone else.”
Amahon natna nasatah athoh un ahinkhou chu gentheina adimset e.
