Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1“But now they mock me, men younger than I am, whose fathers I would have refused to entrust with my sheep dogs.
1Tedae a kum la kai lakah aka noe long khaw kai taengah luem uh coeng. Te rhoek kah a napa pataeng ka boiva kah ui taengah khueh ham ka hnawt lah mako.
2What use to me was the strength of their hands, since their vigor had left them?
2Amih kut dongkah thadueng khaw kai taengah metlam a om? Amih te a hminkhah lamni a paltham.
3Gaunt from poverty and hunger, they gnawed the dry land, and the desolate wasteland by night.
3Vaitahnah neh khokha rhamling lamkah pumhong loh hlaem vaengah khohaeng neh imrhong kah rhamrhae te a cilh.
4They plucked mallow among the shrubs, and the roots of the broom tree were their food.
4Tangpuem dongkah baekkoi te a hlaek uh tih a buh la hlingcet yung a khueh.
5They were banished from among men, shouted down like thieves,
5A nam lamloh a haek uh tih amih taengah hlanghuen bangla a o uh.
6so that they lived on the slopes of the wadis, among the rocks and in holes in the ground.
6Soklong cakhom kah laipi neh thaelsawk khui ah kho a sak.
7They cried out among the shrubs and huddled beneath the nettles.
7Tangpuem khuiah pang uh tih lota hmuiah poem uh.
8A senseless and nameless brood, they were driven off the land.
8Aka ang ca rhoek neh ming mueh ca rhoek ni khohmuen lamloh a hawt uh.
9And now they mock me in song; I have become a byword among them.
9Te dongah amih kah rhotoeng la ka om coeng tih amih taengah ol la ka om.
10They abhor me and keep far from me; they do not hesitate to spit in my face.
10Kai aka tuei rhoek tah kai lamloh lakhla uh tih ka mikhmuh ah timtui khaw tuem uh pawh.
11Because God has unstrung my bow and afflicted me, they have cast off restraint in my presence.
11A lirhui lakah ka lirhui he pawl coeng. Te dongah kai he m'phaep tih ka mikhmuh ah kamrhui han tueih uh.
12The rabble arises at my right; they lay snares for my feet and build siege ramps against me.
12Ka bantang kah hlangyoe loh tlai ka kho a kalh. Amih kah rhainah caehlong te kai taengah a picai uh.
13They tear up my path; they profit from my destruction, with no one to restrain them.
13Ka talnah khuiah ka hawn a mak uh tih, amih aka bom pawt khaw hoeikhang uh.
14They advance as through a wide breach; through the ruins they keep rolling in.
14A puut aka len bangla ael uh tih a khohli rhamrhael hmuiah paluet uh.
15Terrors are turned loose against me; they drive away my dignity as by the wind, and my prosperity has passed like a cloud.
15Kai soah mueirhih pai tih khohli bangla ka moeihoeihnah a hloem vaengah kai kah khangnah te khomai bangla a yah.
16And now my soul is poured out within me; days of affliction grip me.
16Kai lamloh ka hinglu a kingling coeng tih phacip phabaem khohnin loh kai n'tuuk.
17Night pierces my bones, and my gnawing pains never rest.
17Khoyin ah ka rhuh te ka pum dong lamloh a cueh. Kai aka thuek he a dim moenih.
18With great force He grasps my garment; He seizes me by the collar of my tunic.
18Thadueng cungkuem dongah ka pueinak a phuelhthaih tih ka angkidung te rhawnmoep bangla ka vah.
19He throws me into the mud, and I have become like dust and ashes.
19Kai he dikpo khuila n'dong tih laipi neh hmaiphu bangla n'thuidoek.
20I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer; when I stand up, You merely look at me.
20Na taengah bomnah kam bih dae kai nan doo moenih. Ka pai akhaw kai he nan yakming moenih.
21You have ruthlessly turned on me; You oppose me with Your strong hand.
21Kai soah a muen la na poeh tih na ban thaa neh kai nan konaeh thil.
22You snatch me up into the wind and drive me before it; You toss me about in the storm.
22Kai he khohli dongah nan phueih. Kai nan ngol thil vaengah kai nan paci sak tih lungming cueihnah a yawn.
23Yes, I know that You will bring me down to death, to the place appointed for all the living.
23Mulhing boeih kah tingtunnah im la dueknah neh kai nan mael sak ham khaw ka ming.
24Yet no one stretches out his hand to a ruined man when he cries for help in his distress.
24A yoethaenah khuiah bombihnah a yaak vaengah kut aka thueng he lairhok dongah a om moenih.
25Have I not wept for those in trouble? Has my soul not grieved for the needy?
25Khohnin a mangkhak dongah ka rhap tih khodaeng dongah ka hinglu a omdam moenih.
26But when I hoped for good, evil came; when I looked for light, darkness fell.
26A then ka lamtawn vaengah boethae ha pawk. Vangnah te ka ngaiuep vaengah a hmuep ha pai.
27I am churning within and cannot rest; days of affliction confront me.
27Ka bung he tlawk tih a kuemsuem moenih. Kai he phacip phabaem khohnin loh n'doe.
28I go about blackened, but not by the sun. I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.
28Khomik a tal dongah maelhmai a hmuep la ka cet. Hlangping neh ka pai tih ka pang.
29I have become a brother of jackals, a companion of ostriches.
29Pongui kah a manuca neh tuirhuk vanu kah a hui la ka om.
30My skin grows black and peels, and my bones burn with fever.
30Ka vin khaw kamah dong lamloh mu tih ka rhuh khaw kholing neh tlum coeng.
31My harp is tuned to mourning and my flute to the sound of weeping.
31Ka rhotoeng te nguekcoinah la, ka phavi rhah ol la poeh.
