Job 6
1 And Job answereth and saith: —
Job ni a pathung teh,
2 O that my provocation were thoroughly weighed, And my calamity in balances They would lift up together!
Oe, ka kângairunae heh, yawcu dawk khing haw pawiteh, ka khang e runae naw hai, yawcu khingnae dawk phat naseh.
3 For now, than the sands of the sea it is heavier, Therefore my words have been rash.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, palang teng e sadi hlak hai a ri han doeh. Hatdawkvah ka dei payon toe.
4 For arrows of the Mighty [are] with me, Whose poison is drinking up my spirit. Terrors of God array themselves [for] 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 Brayeth a wild ass over tender grass? Loweth an ox over his provender?
Kahrawng e la ni hram a papnae koe a hram boimaw,
6 Eaten is an insipid thing without salt? Is there sense in the drivel of dreams?
Atuinae kaawm hoeh e bu teh palawi laipalah ca thai han maw. Aduirakei ka pangaw e dawk atuinae bangmaw kaawm.
7 My soul is refusing to touch! They [are] as my sickening food.
Ka hringnae ni, a tek han a ngai hoeh e, kai hanelah, panuettho e rawcanaw doeh.
8 O that my request may come, That God may grant my hope!
Oe, kahei e heh ka hmawt haw pawiteh, Cathut ni ngai poung e na poe haw pawiteh.
9 That God would please — and bruise me, 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 And yet it is my comfort, (And I exult in pain — He doth not spare, ) That I have not hidden The sayings 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 power that I should hope? And what mine end That I should prolong my life?
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? Is my flesh brazen?
Ka thaonae heh lungsong thaonae lah maw ao. Ka takthai he rahum lah maw a tho.
13 Is not my help with me, And substance driven from me?
Ka thung vah kabawmkung awmhoeh namaw, ka kuepcingnae naw pueng kai koehoi be kampuen toung nahoehmaw.
14 To a despiser of his friends [is] shame, And the fear of the Mighty he forsaketh.
Bangpueng katetthai takinae a ceitakhai nakunghai, patawnae ka khang e koevah, a hui koehoi a lungmanae kamnue sak hane doeh.
15 My brethren have deceived as a brook, As a stream of brooks they pass away.
Ka hmaunawnghanaw teh palang tui patetlah yuengyoe kampuen e doeh, dawngdengca dawk kahmat e palang tui patetlah ao awh.
16 That are black because of ice, By them doth snow hide itself.
Tui a kamkak e kecu dawkvah a tamang teh, a thungvah ka kâhrawk e tadamtui patetlah ao.
17 By the time they are warm they have been cut off, By its being hot they have been Extinguished from their place.
Abet torei teh, be kahma awh teh, a kâan torei teh amamae hmuen koehoi kahmakata awh.
18 Turn aside do the paths of their way, They ascend into emptiness, and are lost.
Amamae a lamthung dawk hoi a kamlang awh teh, nâ lahai cet laipalah kahmakata awh.
19 Passengers of Tema looked expectingly, Travellers of Sheba hoped for them.
Teman miphun kahlawng kacetnaw ni a khet awh teh, Sheba kahlawng kacetnaw ni a ngaihawi awh.
20 They were ashamed that one hath trusted, They have come unto it and are confounded.
A ngâhawi awh dawkvah, a lungpout awh. Hawvah a pha awh torei teh, a kaya awh.
21 Surely now ye have become the same! Ye see a downfall, and are afraid.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, atuvah banglahai na tho awh hoeh toe. Takikatho e na hmu awh teh, na lung a puen awh.
22 Is it because I said, Give to me? And, By your power bribe for me?
Na poe awh haw, telah ka dei boimaw, hoeh pawiteh, na hnopainaw dawk hoi, kai na ratang nahanelah poe awh ka ti boimaw,
23 And, Deliver me from the hand of an adversary? And, From the hand of terrible ones ransom me?
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 Shew me, and I — I keep silent, And what I have erred, let me understand.
Na cangkhai awh haw, duem ka o han, lawkkalan hah na panuek sak awh.
25 How powerful have been upright sayings, And what doth reproof from you reprove?
Lannae teh, banghloimaw a tha ao. Hateiteh, na lawknaw ni bangmaw a kamceng sak.
26 For reproof — do you reckon words? And for wind — sayings of the desperate.
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 Anger on the fatherless ye cause to fall, And are strange to your friend.
Nangmouh niteh, naranaw hah na ka pacekpahlek awh, na huinaw hanelah tangkom na tai pouh awh.
28 And, now, please, look upon me, Even to your face do I lie?
Hatdawkvah, pahren lahoi khen awh haw, bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmae hmalah ka lai kathout mahoeh.
29 Turn back, I pray you, let it not be perverseness, Yea, turn back again — my righteousness [is] in it.
Ban awh nateh, lanhoehnae hah awm sak awh hanh, atu totouh ka kangdout e ka lannae heh tawm awh.
30 Is there in my tongue perverseness? Discerneth not my palate desirable things?
Ka lai dawk lanhoehnae ao maw, katui hoi katui hoeh e na kapekkaboe thai awh hoeh maw.
