1I made a covenant with my eyes, that I would not so much as think upon a virgin.
1Tangla to koehhaih mik hoiah ka khet han ai ah, ka mik hoi lokkamhaih to ka sak.
2For what part should God from above have in me, and what inheritance the Almighty from on high?
2To tiah nahaeloe Sithaw mah ranui bang hoiah kawbaktih taham maw paek ueloe, ranui ih Thacak Sithaw mah kawbaktih toep han koi qawk maw paek tih?
3Is not destruction to the wicked, and aversion to them that work iniquity?
3Kasae kaminawk hanah amrohaih om ueloe, zaehaih sah kaminawk hanah anghmathaih om mak ai maw?
4Doth not he consider my ways, and number all my steps?
4Anih mah loe ka caehhaih loklamnawk to panoek moe, ka khok tangkannawk doeh kroek boih na ai maw?
5If I have walked in vanity, and my foot hath made haste to deceit:
5Amsoem ai ah ka caeh moe, alinghaih bangah ka khok tangkan to rang nahaeloe,
6Let him weigh me in a just balance, and let God know my simplicity.
6kamsoem coih tahhaih hoiah na tah nasoe loe, coek koi om ai ah kho ka sakhaih to Sithaw mah panoek nasoe.
7If my step hath turned out of the way, and if my heart hath followed my eyes, and if a spot hath cleaved to my hands:
7Loklam kam khraeng ving moe, ka palungthin mah ka mik koehhaih hnukah patom moeng maw, to tih ai boeh loe ka ban ah panuet thok hmuen maw akap moeng nahaeloe,
8Then let me sow and let another eat: and let my offspring be rooted out.
8ka patit ih thingthai to minawk kalah mah caa nasoe, ue, ka patit ih akungnawk doeh aphong o king nasoe.
9If my heart hath been deceived upon a woman, and if I have laid wait at my friend’s door:
9Nongpata maeto mah ka palung hae pacuek moe, ka imtaeng kami ih khongkha ah anih to ka zing nahaeloe,
10Let my wife be the harlot of another, and let other men lie with her.
10ka zu mah minawk ih cang to daeng pae nasoe loe, minawk mah ka zu to muk o nasoe.
11For this is a heinous crime, and a most grievous iniquity.
11Hae hmuen loe kalen parai zaehaih ah oh; ue, lokcaekkung mah danpaek han koi zaehaih ah oh.
12It is a fire that devoureth even to destruction, and rooteth up all things that spring.
12To zaehaih loe amrosak thaih hmai, ka tawnh ih hmuennawk tangzuun khoek to kangh boih hmai ah oh.
13If I have despised to abide judgment with my manservant, or my maidservant, when they had any controversy against me:
13Ka tamna nongpa hoi nongpatanawk mah kai laisaep o thuih naah, nihcae to khet ka patoek nahaeloe,
14For what shall I do when God shall rise to judge? and when he shall examine, what shall I answer him?
14Sithaw amtueng naah timaw ka sak moe, lokcaek naah timaw ka pathim han?
15Did not he that made me in the womb make him also: and did not one and the same form me in the womb?
15Anih doeh kai sahkung Sithaw mah na ai maw sak? Kaihnik loe sahkung maeto mah na ai maw zok thungah sak hmaek?
16If I have denied to the poor what they desired, and have made the eyes of the widow wait:
16Caaknaek tawn ai kami hanah caaknaek ka paek ai maw, lamhmai ih mik to kam rosak maw,
17If I have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof:
17to tih ai boeh loe amno ampa tawn ai kaminawk hanah caaknaek paek ai ah, kaimabueng ah ka caak maw,
18(For from my infancy mercy grew up with me: and it came out with me from my mother’s womb:)
18(ka thendoeng nathuem hoi ampa ah angcoeng khoek to caaknaek tawn ai kami to ka pacah, ka tapen tangsuek natuem hoi anih to ka bomh boeh;)
19If I have despised him that was perishing for want of clothing, and the poor man that had no covering:
19khukbuen tawn ai ah dueh kami hoi khukbuen tawn ai ah kaom amtang kami to ka hnuk moe,
20If his sides have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep:
20kai mah anih to bae um ah tuumui kang khuksak ai pongah, anih mah kai tahamhoihaih paek ai maw,
21If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, even when I saw myself superior in the gate:
21lokcaekhaih im ah kai angdoe haih kami om tih hmang, tiah ka poek pongah, amno ampa tawn ai kami to ka pacaekthlaek nahaeloe,
22Let my shoulder fall from its joint, and let my arm with its bones be broken.
22ka ban tampawk hae palaeng hoiah amkhraeng ving nasoe loe, ka palaeng huh doeh angkhaek lawt nasoe.
23For I have always feared God as waves swelling over me, and his weight I was not able to bear.
23Sithaw khae hoi ih amrohaih to ka zit, a Lensawkhaih to ka zit pongah to baktih hmuen to ka sah ai.
24If I have thought gold my strength, and have said to fine gold: My confidence:
24Sui to kang oep haih maw, to tih ai boeh loe kaciim suitui khaeah, Nang loe ka buephaih ah na oh, tiah ka thuih moeng maw,
25If I have rejoiced over my great riches, and because my hand had gotten much.
25hmuenmae paroeai ka tawnh moe, ka ban mah hmuenmae paroeai hak thaih pongah kam oek moeng maw,
26If I beheld the sun when it shined, and the moon going in brightness:
26ni aengh to ka khet moe, a aanghaih hoiah kacaeh khrah to ka khet naah,
27And my heart in secret hath rejoiced, and I have kissed my hand with my mouth:
27tamquta hoi anghoehaih ka tawnh moe, ka pakha mah ka ban hae mok cadoeh;
28Which is a very great iniquity, and a denial against the most high God.
28lokcaek koi kaom zaehaih ah ni oh, ranui koekah kaom Sithaw angphat taak baktiah ni oh.
29If I have been glad at the downfall of him that hated me, and have rejoiced that evil had found him.
29Kai hnuma kami amro naah, kang hoe moe, anih raihaih tongh naah, kam oek vai maw,
30For I have not given my mouth to sin, by wishing a curse to his soul.
30a hinghaih tangoeng moe, zaehaih sak hanah pakha ka aang mak ai.
31If the men of my tabernacle have not said: Who will give us of his flesh that we may be filled?
31Ka imthung ah kaom kaminawk mah, zok kamhah ah Job ih moi caa o vai ai, tiah thui o mak ai.
32The stranger did not stay without, my door was open to the traveller.
32Angvinnawk loklam ah iih o han ai ah, kholong caeh kaminawk hanah khongkha to ka paongh pae.
33If as a man I have hid my sin, and have concealed my iniquity in my bosom.
33Adam baktiah ka zaehaih ka hawk ai, ka zaehaih palung thungah ka hawk vai ai;
34If I have been afraid at a very great multitude, and the contempt of kinsmen hath terrified me: and I have not rather held my peace, and not gone out of the door.
34pop parai kami to ka zit, to tih ai boeh loe acaeng kaminawk mah pahnui thui haih to ka zit pongah, kang hngai duem moe, tasa bang tacawt ai ah ka oh vai maw?
35Who would grant me a hearer, that the Almighty may hear my desire; and that he himself that judgeth would write a book,
35Aw kami maeto mah loe ka lok hae tahngai nasoe! Khenah, vaihi koehhaih lok ka thuih han vop; Thacak Sithaw mah na pathim nasoe; ka zaehaih netkung mah ka zaehaih hae ca ah tarik nasoe.
36That I may carry it on my shoulder, and put it about me as a crown?
36To ca to palaeng ah ka put moe, sui lumuek baktiah kang muek han.
37At every step of mine I would pronounce it, and offer it as to a prince.
37Ka caehhaih khok tangkannawk anih khaeah ka thuih moe, siangpahrang capa baktiah a taengah ka caeh han.
38If my land cry against me, and with it the furrows thereof mourn:
38Kai ih long mah kai hae kasae thuih maw, to tih ai boeh loe mikkhraetui hoiah a qah maw,
39If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, and have afflicted the soul of the tillers thereof:
39atho paek ai ah anih ih thingthai to ka caak pae moe, laikok tawnkungnawk hinghaih to kam rosak nahaeloe,
40Let thistles grow up to me instead of wheat, and thorns instead of barley.
40cang zuengah soekhringkung amprawk nasoe loe, barli cang zuengah phroh amprawk lat nasoe, tiah a naa. Job ih lok loe hae ah boeng boeh.
