1“But now they mock me, men younger than I am, whose fathers I would have refused to entrust with my sheep dogs.
1Toe vaihi loe kai pongah saning kanawk kaminawk mah ang pahnui o thuih, nihcae ampanawk loe ka panuet moe, tuutoep uinawk hoi nawnto suek han mataeng doeh ka koeh ai.
2What use to me was the strength of their hands, since their vigor had left them?
2Ue, nihcae ban thacakhaih loe kai han tidoeh avanghaih om ai, nihcae thacakhaih loe anghmat boih boeh.
3Gaunt from poverty and hunger, they gnawed the dry land, and the desolate wasteland by night.
3Nihcae loe zok amthlam o pongah, minawk hoi angkom o ai; kami om ai angqai krang praezaek ah ni amhet o.
4They plucked mallow among the shrubs, and the roots of the broom tree were their food.
4Kapring thungah phrohnawk to a aah o moe, caak hanah imphok kung tangzun to takaeh o.
5They were banished from among men, shouted down like thieves,
5Nihcae loe kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen hoiah haek o moe, (kamqu hangh thuih baktih hangh o thuih;)
6so that they lived on the slopes of the wadis, among the rocks and in holes in the ground.
6tahawt thung ih cathaeng khaw thungah oh o moe, longkhaw thung hoi lungsong khaw thungah a oh o.
7They cried out among the shrubs and huddled beneath the nettles.
7Kapring thungah hrang baktiah hangh o moe, soekhring thungah nawnto amkhueng o.
8A senseless and nameless brood, they were driven off the land.
8Nihcae loe kamthu caa ah oh o, ue, khosak kasae kaminawk ih caa ah oh o moe, prae thung hoi haek ih kaminawk ah oh o.
9And now they mock me in song; I have become a byword among them.
9Vaihi loe nihcae mah laa ang sak o thuih; ue, nihcae mah kasae thuih ih kami ah ka oh boeh.
10They abhor me and keep far from me; they do not hesitate to spit in my face.
10Nihcae mah ang panuet o moe, kangthla ah ang oh o taak; ka mikhmai tamtui hoi pathoih hanah tongaah o ai.
11Because God has unstrung my bow and afflicted me, they have cast off restraint in my presence.
11Sithaw mah kalii hoiah ang kah moe, ang pacaekthlaek pongah, ka hmaa ah angsumhaih tawn o ai boeh.
12The rabble arises at my right; they lay snares for my feet and build siege ramps against me.
12Ka bantang bangah thendoengnawk angthawk o moe, ka khok hae ang cawh o; kai amrohaih loklam to a sak o.
13They tear up my path; they profit from my destruction, with no one to restrain them.
13Ka loklam to phraek o moe, kai amtimh hanah azom o; nihcae bomhkung mi doeh om ai.
14They advance as through a wide breach; through the ruins they keep rolling in.
14Nihcae loe kalen pui akhaw thungah kakun tui baktiah, kai amrosak hanah tha hoi kai khaeah ang cawnh o.
15Terrors are turned loose against me; they drive away my dignity as by the wind, and my prosperity has passed like a cloud.
15Zitthok hmuennawk to ka nuiah phak moe, takhi song baktiah ka hinghaih hnukah patom o; ka tawnh ih hmuenmae loe tamai baktiah anghmat boeh.
16And now my soul is poured out within me; days of affliction grip me.
16Vaihi ka palungthin koih boeh moe, patangkhanghaih aninawk mah ang naeh boeh.
17Night pierces my bones, and my gnawing pains never rest.
17Aqum mah ka huh hae thunh moe, thaqui kana ka pauep thai ai boeh.
18With great force He grasps my garment; He seizes me by the collar of my tunic.
18Ka nathaih nung parai pongah, kaimah ih khubuen mah zaeng ih baktih toengah, ang zaeng caeng.
19He throws me into the mud, and I have become like dust and ashes.
19Anih mah tangnong thungah ang nuih, kai loe maiphu hoi tavai baktiah ni ka oh sut boeh.
20I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer; when I stand up, You merely look at me.
20Ka Angraeng Nang khaeah ka qah, toe nang pathim ai; kang doet tahang, toe tiah doeh nang sah ai.
21You have ruthlessly turned on me; You oppose me with Your strong hand.
21Ka nuiah tahmenhaih na tawn ai; thacakhaih na ban hoiah nang pacaekthlaek.
22You snatch me up into the wind and drive me before it; You toss me about in the storm.
22Kai hae nang toengh tahang moe, takhi to nang thuengsak pongah, ka takpum hae nam rosak ving boeh.
23Yes, I know that You will bring me down to death, to the place appointed for all the living.
23Kahing kaminawk boih hanah na sak pae ih im hoi duekhaih thungah, nang caeh haih tih, tiah ka panoek.
24Yet no one stretches out his hand to a ruined man when he cries for help in his distress.
24Sithaw mah amrohaih phaksak hanah ban phok naah, nihcae mah tahmenhaih hni o langla cadoeh, atho om ai boeh.
25Have I not wept for those in trouble? Has my soul not grieved for the needy?
25Raihaih tongh kami to ka qah haih ai maw? Amtang kami palung ka sae haih ai maw?
26But when I hoped for good, evil came; when I looked for light, darkness fell.
26Kahoih hmuen ka zing naah, kasae hmuen to angzoh; aanghaih ka zing naah, vinghaih to angzoh.
27I am churning within and cannot rest; days of affliction confront me.
27Kai ih pathin loe bet moe, anghakhaih om ai; patangkhanghaih aninawk loe kai tongh hanah angzoh o.
28I go about blackened, but not by the sun. I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.
28Niduem naah palungsethaih hoiah ka oh; kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah kang doet moe, ka hang.
29I have become a brother of jackals, a companion of ostriches.
29Kai loe pahui puinawk ih nawkamya ah ka oh moe, bukbuhnawk ih ampui ah ka oh.
30My skin grows black and peels, and my bones burn with fever.
30Ka nganhin loe amnum moe, ka huhnawk doeh kabae thuih pa ai boeh.
31My harp is tuned to mourning and my flute to the sound of weeping.
31Kai ih katoeng loe palungsethaih ah angcoeng boeh, kai ih tamoi doeh qahhaih lok ah ni angcoeng ving boeh.
