Job 6
1 But Job answered and said,
Job ni a pathung teh,
2 O that my grief were thoroughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!
Oe, ka kângairunae heh, yawcu dawk khing haw pawiteh, ka khang e runae naw hai, yawcu khingnae dawk phat naseh.
3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, palang teng e sadi hlak hai a ri han doeh. Hatdawkvah ka dei payon toe.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison of which drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God set themselves in array against 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 Doth the wild donkey bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?
Kahrawng e la ni hram a papnae koe a hram boimaw,
6 Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
Atuinae kaawm hoeh e bu teh palawi laipalah ca thai han maw. Aduirakei ka pangaw e dawk atuinae bangmaw kaawm.
7 The things that my soul refused to touch are as my loathsome food.
Ka hringnae ni, a tek han a ngai hoeh e, kai hanelah, panuettho e rawcanaw doeh.
8 O that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
Oe, kahei e heh ka hmawt haw pawiteh, Cathut ni ngai poung e na poe haw pawiteh.
9 Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let 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 Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words 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 strength, that I should hope? and what is my 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? or is my flesh of brass?
Ka thaonae heh lungsong thaonae lah maw ao. Ka takthai he rahum lah maw a tho.
13 Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
Ka thung vah kabawmkung awmhoeh namaw, ka kuepcingnae naw pueng kai koehoi be kampuen toung nahoehmaw.
14 To him that is afflicted pity should be shown from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
Bangpueng katetthai takinae a ceitakhai nakunghai, patawnae ka khang e koevah, a hui koehoi a lungmanae kamnue sak hane doeh.
15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the 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 Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and in which the snow is hid:
Tui a kamkak e kecu dawkvah a tamang teh, a thungvah ka kâhrawk e tadamtui patetlah ao.
17 In the time when they become warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
Abet torei teh, be kahma awh teh, a kâan torei teh amamae hmuen koehoi kahmakata awh.
18 The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
Amamae a lamthung dawk hoi a kamlang awh teh, nâ lahai cet laipalah kahmakata awh.
19 The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
Teman miphun kahlawng kacetnaw ni a khet awh teh, Sheba kahlawng kacetnaw ni a ngaihawi awh.
20 They were confounded because they had hoped; they came there, and were ashamed.
A ngâhawi awh dawkvah, a lungpout awh. Hawvah a pha awh torei teh, a kaya awh.
21 For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, atuvah banglahai na tho awh hoeh toe. Takikatho e na hmu awh teh, na lung a puen awh.
22 Did I say, Bring to me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?
Na poe awh haw, telah ka dei boimaw, hoeh pawiteh, na hnopainaw dawk hoi, kai na ratang nahanelah poe awh ka ti boimaw,
23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy’s hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
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 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand how I have erred.
Na cangkhai awh haw, duem ka o han, lawkkalan hah na panuek sak awh.
25 How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?
Lannae teh, banghloimaw a tha ao. Hateiteh, na lawknaw ni bangmaw a kamceng sak.
26 Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?
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 Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.
Nangmouh niteh, naranaw hah na ka pacekpahlek awh, na huinaw hanelah tangkom na tai pouh awh.
28 Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident to you if I lie.
Hatdawkvah, pahren lahoi khen awh haw, bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmae hmalah ka lai kathout mahoeh.
29 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return 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 iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?
Ka lai dawk lanhoehnae ao maw, katui hoi katui hoeh e na kapekkaboe thai awh hoeh maw.
