Job 10
1 Kamae ka hringnae ka panuet. Ka phuenangnae ka pâpho ngala han. Ka hringnae a rek hoi lawk ka dei han.
My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 Cathut koe yon na pen hanh, bangdawkmaw na taran, na hmawt sak haw, telah ka ti han.
I will say to God, Do not condemn me; show me why thou contendest with me.
3 Tami repcoungroe lahoi na kutsak tami hah dudam teh, tamikathoutnaw khokhang e hnâbokhaie heh, ahawi telah na pouk maw.
Is it good to thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thy hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
4 Takthai e mit maw na tawn, tami ni a hmu e patetlah maw na hmu van maw.
Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
5 Namae hninnaw hai tami e hnin patetlah maw ao. Namae kumnaw teh, tami e hnin patetlah maw ao.
Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man’s days,
6 tamikathout lah ka ohoehnae hah na panue eiteh, na kut dawk hoi ka rungngang thai e awm hoeh tie hah na panue nahlangva,
That thou enquirest after my iniquity, and searchest after my sin?
7 Ka payonpakai e naw hah na tawng teh, ka yonnae hah na pâphue.
Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thy hand.
8 Namae na kut hoi na sak teh, ka kuepcingcalah na pathoup. Hateiteh, namae kut ni bout na raphoe.
Thy hands have made me and fashioned me in all my parts; yet thou dost destroy me.
9 Nama ni talai e na sak tie hah na pahnim hoeh nahan ka kâhei, vaiphu lah maw bout na coung sak han.
Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
10 Nama ni sanutui patetlah na rabawk teh, sanutui kamkak patetlah na pahlawm nahoehmaw.
Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11 Nama ni ka vuen hoi takthai na ramuk. Ka hru hoi ka tharui hoi na caksak nahoehmaw.
Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
12 Nama ni ka hringnae hoi pahrennae na poe teh, na khetyawtnae ni ka muitha teh a lungmawng sak.
Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy care hath preserved my spirit.
13 Hete hnonaw heh na lungthin thung vah na hro teh, namae thung vah ao tie hah ka panue.
And these things hast thou hid in thy heart: I know that this is with thee.
14 Ka yon pawiteh nama ni na panue han. Ka payonpakai e dawk hoi na hlout sak hoeh.
If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from my iniquity.
15 Tamikathout lah kaawm pawiteh, yawthoe lah ka o han, tamikalan lah ka o nakunghai, minhmai kahawi kahmawt thai mahoeh. Kayayeirai hoi runae hoi kakawi e la ka o.
If I be wicked, woe to me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou my affliction;
16 Ka kâoup pawiteh, ka matheng e Sendek patetlah, hmâ na ca sak. Kai taranlahoi takikathopounge bout na kamnue sak.
For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me.
17 Kai na ka taran hane ka panuekkhaie patuen patuen na tha teh, kai dawk na lungkuephoehnae na pung sak. Dumyennae hoi tarantuknae hah, kai koe pou ao.
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thy indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
18 Bangdawkmaw camo im dawk hoi na tâcosak. Oe apinihai na hmawt laipalah kadout boi pawiteh;
Why then hast thou brought me forth from the womb? O that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
19 Kaawmhoehe patetlah ka o han ei, Camo im thung hoi phuen lah ceikhai lah ka o han ei.
I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 Ka hninnaw heh, ka younca e nahoehmaw. Ka cei vaiteh bout ka ban thai hoeh nahanlah, duenae tâhlip hoi hmonae ram dawk ka cei hoehnahlan vah.
Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
21 Lungmawngnae dawngdeng hai ka hmu nahanelah, ka kâhat pawiteh, ka mahmawk na awm sak awh.
Before I go to the place from which I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
22 Ama lungpouk ka hmawt e, kingkahmawt e ram, duenae tâhlip patetlah, banghai ka awmhoeh e, angnae hai hmonae patetlah a onae hmuen koe, telah ati.
A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
