Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1“Man, who is born of woman, is short of days and full of trouble.
1Huta kah a sak hlang he a khohnin toi tih khoponah khaw hah.
2Like a flower, he comes forth, then withers away; like a fleeting shadow, he does not endure.
2Rhaipai bangla phuelh tih a oh uh. Khokhawn bangla yong tih pai voel pawh.
3Do You open Your eyes to one like this? Will You bring him into judgment before You?
3Te soah ngawn tah na mik tueng tih kai he na taengkah laitloeknah dongla na khuen.
4Who can bring out clean from unclean? No one!
4Rhalawt lamloh a cuem la aka khueh te unim? Pakhat pataeng om pawh.
5Since his days are determined and the number of his months is with You, and since You have set limits that he cannot exceed,
5A khohnin neh a hla taenah khaw namah taengah hangdang. A oltlueh te a oltlueh bangla na saii tih poe thai pawh.
6look away from him and let him rest, so he can enjoy his day as a hired hand.
6Anih lamloh vawl mangthong lamtah amah hnin at kutloh bangla a ngaingaih hil toeng saeh.
7For there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its tender shoots will not fail.
7Thing ham tah a vung akhaw ngaiuepnah om pueng. Te dongah koep mikhing vetih a dawn khaw ngoeng mahpawh.
8If its roots grow old in the ground and its stump dies in the soil,
8Diklai khuiah a yung patong mai tih laipi khuiah a ngo duek cakhaw,
9at the scent of water it will bud and put forth twigs like a sapling.
9tui bo ah duei vetih thinghloe bangla a pae cawn ni.
10But a man dies and is laid low; he breathes his last, and where is he?
10Tedae hlang tah duek tih rhaa uh coeng. Hlang he a pal phoeiah tah melam a om.
11As water disappears from the sea and a river becomes parched and dry,
11Tuitunli lamkah tui khaw khawk dae tuiva loh a khah vaengah tah kak.
12so a man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens are no more, he will not be awakened or roused from sleep.
12Hlang khaw yalh tih thoo voel pawh. Vaan a om pawt due khaw haenghang pawh. Amih te ih kung lamloh haenghang uh mahpawh.
13If only You would hide me in Sheol and conceal me until Your anger has passed! If only You would appoint a time for me and then remember me!
13Unim saelkhui ah a paek lah ve? Kai he nan khoem lah vetih na thintoek a mael duela kai nan thuh lah mako. Kai hamla oltlueh na khueh vetih kai nan poek mako.
14When a man dies, will he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, until my renewal comes.
14Hlang he duek koinih hing venim? Kamah kah caempuei hnin boeih he ka thovaelnah a pawk hil ka lamtawn bitni.
15You will call, and I will answer; You will desire the work of Your hands.
15Nan khue vaengah kai loh nang te ka doo bitni. Na kut dongkah bibi dongah na moo bitni.
16For then You would count my steps, but would not keep track of my sin.
16Ka khokan he na tae pawn vetih ka tholhnah khaw na dawn mahpawh.
17My transgression would be sealed in a bag, and You would cover over my iniquity.
17Ka boekoek hnocun khuiah catui a hnah thil tih kai kathaesainah na dah thil bitni.
18But as a mountain erodes and crumbles and a rock is dislodged from its place,
18Tedae Tlang khaw cungku tih moelh. Lungpang pataeng a hmuen lamloh thoeih.
19as water wears away the stones and torrents wash away the soil, so You destroy a man’s hope.
19Lungto khaw tui loh a hoh tih a kongnawt loh diklai laipi a yo. Te dongah hlanghing kah ngaiuepnah na pal sak.
20You forever overpower him, and he passes on; You change his countenance and send him away.
20Anih te a yoeyah la na khulae tih a hmai a tal la a van daengah anih te na tueih.
21If his sons receive honor, he does not know it; if they are brought low, he is unaware.
21A ca rhoek a thangpom uh dae a ming moenih. Muei uh cakhaw amih a yakming moenih.
22He feels only the pain of his own body and mourns only for himself.”
22Tedae a pumsa tah a taengah tih thak a khoeih tih a hinglu khaw amah hamla nguekcoi,” a ti.
