< Job 7 >

1 Mihem jouse hinkho hi hahsatna toh kidel jing hilou ham? Ihinkho uhi kitha lah khut tobang hilou ham?
Hath not man a life of labour upon earth? and are not his days like the days of a hireling?
2 Liim ngaicha aum natong mi tobang ahin, soh atohna man ngah tobang ahi.
As a bondman earnestly desireth the shadow, and a hireling expecteth his wages,
3 Keima jong lha phabep sunga chu phatchomna bei natoh eikipen ahi, lunggel gentheina dimset in jankho sot noijah genthei kathoh e.
So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
4 Jalkhun chungah kalumin, itih tah le jingkah ahitadem tin kagel jin, ahinlah jan in eisu chol in khovah kahsen kaki pehle le jin ahi.
If I lie down, I say, When shall I rise up, and the darkness be gone? and I am full of tossings until the dawn.
5 Kati chungla than leh akhih in atom dimin ka vun jong apohkeh gamin anai along longe.
My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and suppurates.
6 Ka nikho ho jong pon khong ho patphei kilham sangin ging jon, kinepna beijin akichai ji'e.
My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.
7 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.
Remember thou that my life is wind; mine eye shall no more see good.
8 Nangin tua hi neimu ahin, ahinlah nei musot pon nate, nangin neiven natin ahinlah keima ana chemang tange.
The eye of him that hath seen me shall behold me no [more]: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.
9 Meilhang akithecheh a aman hel bangin, athiho khu hung kile kit tapou vinte. (Sheol h7585)
The cloud consumeth and vanisheth away; so he that goeth down to Sheol shall not come up. (Sheol h7585)
10 Amaho chu ainuva patna tonsotna mukit tah lou dinga chemang ahitauve.
He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him again.
11 Keima thusei louvin kaum theipoi, kalung genthei naho kasei doh a ka lhagao genthei jeh a kiphin ding kahi.
Therefore I will not restrain my mouth: I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12 Keima hi twikhanglen'a kichat chat um ganhing len ahilouleh gullui kahia nahonbit nanoija chu neikoi jeng ding ham?
Am I a sea, or a sea-monster, that thou settest a watch over me?
13 Keima kalupna in eilhamon intin, chule ka imut teng kanat genthei na ho olsah tante tin kagelle.
When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;
14 Ahinlah nangin mangse neimatsah jin, chule gaothil mu in nei kichat sah ji'e.
Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions;
15 Hitia genthei thoh sang hin, eikimeh lih jeng hen lang thileng pha kasa joi.
So that my soul chooseth strangling, death, rather than my bones.
16 Kahinkho kadei mon hitia hin hin ding hi kadei tapoi, O nikho lhomcha kanei sung hin kachangin nei dalha jengin.
I loathe it; I shall not live always: let me alone, for my days are a breath.
17 Mihem hohi ipi hiuva, nangin hibanga hi na khohsah a chule nagel jing jeng ham?
What is man, that thou makest much of him? and that thou settest thy heart upon him?
18 Ajeh chu nangin jingkah seh le nakhol chil soh in, chule phat jousen na patep jinge.
And that thou visitest him every morning, triest him every moment?
19 Kachil valna ding phatsung beh a ipi dinga nei dalhah lou ham?
How long wilt thou not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
20 Chonset kanei ahilehnang chunga ipi kabol khah ham? O mihem te vejing pa, keihi nanga dinga pohgih kahija, natup penna neisem ham?
Have I sinned, what do I unto thee, thou Observer of men? Why hast thou set me as an object of assault for thee, so that I am become a burden to myself?
21 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.
And why dost not thou forgive my transgression and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I lie down in the dust, and thou shalt seek me early, and I shall not be.
