Job 7
1 “People need to work hard on this earth, like soldiers do; all during the time that we are alive, we work hard [RHQ], like laborers/servants do.
Mihem jouse hinkho hi hahsatna toh kidel jing hilou ham? Ihinkho uhi kitha lah khut tobang hilou ham?
2 We are like [SIM] slaves who keep wanting to be in the cool shade, and we are like [SIM] workers who are waiting to be paid.
Liim ngaicha aum natong mi tobang ahin, soh atohna man ngah tobang ahi.
3 God has given me many months [in which I think that it is] useless [to remain alive]; he has allotted/given to me many nights during which I feel miserable.
Keima jong lha phabep sunga chu phatchomna bei natoh eikipen ahi, lunggel gentheina dimset in jankho sot noijah genthei kathoh e.
4 When I lie down [at night] I say, ‘How long will it be until morning?’ But nights are long, and I (toss/turn over and over) [on my bed] until dawn.
Jalkhun chungah kalumin, itih tah le jingkah ahitadem tin kagel jin, ahinlah jan in eisu chol in khovah kahsen kaki pehle le jin ahi.
5 My body is covered with maggots and scabs; pus oozes out of my open sores.
Kati chungla than leh akhih in atom dimin ka vun jong apohkeh gamin anai along longe.
6 My days pass as quickly as a weaver’s (shuttle/stick that takes the thread back and forth), and they end without my confidently expecting [that things will be better the next day].
Ka nikho ho jong pon khong ho patphei kilham sangin ging jon, kinepna beijin akichai ji'e.
7 God, do not forget that my life is [as short as] a breath [MET]; I [think that] I [SYN] will never again be happy.
O Pathen, kahin kho hi hai khat bep bou ahi ti nei geldoh peh in, chule keiman kipana hi kanei kit lou hel ding ahi.
8 God, you [SYN] see me now, but [some day] you will not see me any more. You will search for me, but I will be gone [because I will be dead].
Nangin tua hi neimu ahin, ahinlah nei musot pon nate, nangin neiven natin ahinlah keima ana chemang tange.
9 Like [SIM] clouds (disperse/break up) and then disappear, people [die and] descend to the place where dead people are, and they do not return; (Sheol h7585)
Meilhang akithecheh a aman hel bangin, athiho khu hung kile kit tapou vinte. (Sheol h7585)
10 they never return to their houses, and people among whom they lived do not remember them any more.
Amaho chu ainuva patna tonsotna mukit tah lou dinga chemang ahitauve.
11 So, I will not be silent; while I am suffering I will speak; I will complain [to God about what has happened to me] because I [SYN] am very angry.
Keima thusei louvin kaum theipoi, kalung genthei naho kasei doh a ka lhagao genthei jeh a kiphin ding kahi.
12 [God, ] why do you watch closely what I am doing? [Do you think that] I am a [dangerous] sea monster?
Keima hi twikhanglen'a kichat chat um ganhing len ahilouleh gullui kahia nahonbit nanoija chu neikoi jeng ding ham?
13 When [I lie down at night, ] I think, ‘I will be comforted here on my bed; my pain will be less while I am sleeping.’
Keima kalupna in eilhamon intin, chule ka imut teng kanat genthei na ho olsah tante tin kagelle.
14 But then you give me dreams that cause me to be afraid; you give me visions that terrify me,
Ahinlah nangin mangse neimatsah jin, chule gaothil mu in nei kichat sah ji'e.
15 with the result that I would prefer to be strangled to death than to continue to [be alive] being only a bunch of bones.
Hitia genthei thoh sang hin, eikimeh lih jeng hen lang thileng pha kasa joi.
16 I detest continuing to be alive; I do not want to live for many years [HYP]. Allow me to be alone, [because I will be alive] for only a very short remaining time [HYP].
Kahinkho kadei mon hitia hin hin ding hi kadei tapoi, O nikho lhomcha kanei sung hin kachangin nei dalha jengin.
17 “We human beings are not [very important]; so, why do you pay a lot of attention to us [DOU]?
Mihem hohi ipi hiuva, nangin hibanga hi na khohsah a chule nagel jing jeng ham?
18 You look at us every morning [to see what we are doing], and examine us every moment [to see if we are doing what is right].
Ajeh chu nangin jingkah seh le nakhol chil soh in, chule phat jousen na patep jinge.
19 (When will you stop looking at me and leave me alone [for a little time], long enough to swallow my spit?/Please stop looking at me and leave me alone [for a little time], long enough to swallow my spit.) [RHQ]
Kachil valna ding phatsung beh a ipi dinga nei dalhah lou ham?
20 [Why do] you watch me constantly? If I sin, that certainly does not harm you! Why have you set me up like a target to shoot at? Do you consider me to be a heavy load that you are forced to carry?
Chonset kanei ahilehnang chunga ipi kabol khah ham? O mihem te vejing pa, keihi nanga dinga pohgih kahija, natup penna neisem ham?
21 [If I have sinned, ] are you not able to forgive me for my sins— the things that I have done that are wrong? Soon I will lie in my grave; you will search for me, but [you will not find me because] I will be [dead and] gone.”
Kachonsetna hi ngaidam jengin lang chule kathemmona ho nei lahmang peh tan, ajeh chu leivui lah a kijam a thivah ding kahitan, nangin hin ven natin chemang tange.
