< Job 10 >

1 “My soul is weary of my life. I will give free course to my complaint. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
“Ka hingnah soah ka hinglu loh a ko-oek coeng. Ka kohuetnah he kamah taengah ka sah tih ka hinglu a khahing hil ka thui.
2 I will tell God, ‘Do not condemn me. Show me why you contend with me.
Pathen taengah, Kai m'boe sak boeh, balae tih kai nan ho, kai m'ming sak.
3 Is it good to you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands, and smile on the counsel of the wicked?
Na kut thaphu na hnawt vaengah halang kah cilsuep dongah na sae tih na hnaemtaek te nang ham then a?
4 Do you have eyes of flesh? Or do you see as man sees?
Hlanghing he na sawt tih na hmuh bangla nang taengah pumsa mik om a?
5 Are your days as the days of mortals, or your years as man’s years,
Na khohnin he hlanghing khohnin bangla, na kum khaw hlang khohnin bangla om a?
6 that you inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?
Te dongah kai kah thaesainah te na tlap tih, ka tholhnah hnukah nan toem.
7 Although you know that I am not wicked, there is no one who can deliver out of your hand.
Ka boe pawt tih na kut lamloh a huul thai pawt te, na mingnah dongah om pataeng.
8 “‘Your hands have framed me and fashioned me altogether, yet you destroy me.
Na kut loh kai n'noih pai tih thikat la kai n'saii akhaw kai nan dolh pawn ni.
9 Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay. Will you bring me into dust again?
Amlai bangla kai nan saii tih laipi la, kai nan mael sak te poek mai lah.
10 Haven’t you poured me out like milk, and curdled me like cheese?
Suktui bangla kai nan sui tih sukkhal bangla kai nan khal sak moenih a?
11 You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
Kai he ka vin ka saa neh nan dah tih, ka rhuh neh tharhui neh nan cun.
12 You have granted me life and loving kindness. Your visitation has preserved my spirit.
Hingnah neh sitlohnah te kai taengah nan khueh tih, ka mueihla loh na ngoldoelh a ngaithuen.
13 Yet you hid these things in your heart. I know that this is with you:
Tedae na thinko ah na khoem he na khuiah tila ka ming.
14 if I sin, then you mark me. You will not acquit me from my iniquity.
Ka tholh sitoe cakhaw kai nan ngaithuen dongah kai kah thaesainah lamloh kai nan hmil moenih.
15 If I am wicked, woe to me. If I am righteous, I still will not lift up my head, being filled with disgrace, and conscious of my affliction.
Ya-oe kai he ka boe akhaw, ka tang akhaw ka lu ka dangrhoek moenih. Yah ka hah tih ka phacip phabaem loh n'yan.
16 If my head is held high, you hunt me like a lion. Again you show yourself powerful to me.
Sathuengca bangla a phul atah kai nan mae tih kai taengah khobaerhambae la na mael.
17 You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your indignation on me. Changes and warfare are with me.
Na laipai neh kai hmai ah nan tlaih tih kai taengah na konoinah na hong. Thovaelnah neh caempuei la kai taengah na pai.
18 “‘Why, then, have you brought me out of the womb? I wish I had given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me.
Balae tih bung khui lamloh loh kai nan poh. Ka pal palueng vetih mik loh kai m'hmu pawt mako.
19 I should have been as though I had not been. I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
A om khaw a om pawt bangla bungko lamloh phuel la n'khuen.
20 Aren’t my days few? Stop! Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,
Ka khohnin he bawn tih a muei la a muei moenih a? Kai lamkah he na dueh na dueh vetih ka ngaidip laem mako.
21 before I go where I will not return from, to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
Ka caeh hlan vaengah hmaisuep khohmuen neh dueknah hlipkhup la ka mael pawt mako.
22 the land dark as midnight, of the shadow of death, without any order, where the light is as midnight.’”
khoyinnah kho tah dueknah hlipkhup a hmuep bangla om tih cikngae pawh. Te dongah a hmuep la sae ka ti ni,” a ti.
