1Huta kah a sak hlang he a khohnin toi tih khoponah khaw hah.
1Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
2Rhaipai bangla phuelh tih a oh uh. Khokhawn bangla yong tih pai voel pawh.
2He cometh forth like a flower, and withereth; he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
3Te soah ngawn tah na mik tueng tih kai he na taengkah laitloeknah dongla na khuen.
3And dost Thou open Thine eyes upon such a one, and bringest me into judgment with Thee?
4Rhalawt lamloh a cuem la aka khueh te unim? Pakhat pataeng om pawh.
4Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
5A khohnin neh a hla taenah khaw namah taengah hangdang. A oltlueh te a oltlueh bangla na saii tih poe thai pawh.
5Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with Thee, and Thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
6Anih lamloh vawl mangthong lamtah amah hnin at kutloh bangla a ngaingaih hil toeng saeh.
6Look away from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
7Thing ham tah a vung akhaw ngaiuepnah om pueng. Te dongah koep mikhing vetih a dawn khaw ngoeng mahpawh.
7For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
8Diklai khuiah a yung patong mai tih laipi khuiah a ngo duek cakhaw,
8Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
9tui bo ah duei vetih thinghloe bangla a pae cawn ni.
9Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a plant.
10Tedae hlang tah duek tih rhaa uh coeng. Hlang he a pal phoeiah tah melam a om.
10But man dieth, and lieth low; yea, man perisheth, and where is he?
11Tuitunli lamkah tui khaw khawk dae tuiva loh a khah vaengah tah kak.
11As the waters fail from the sea, and the river is drained dry;
12Hlang khaw yalh tih thoo voel pawh. Vaan a om pawt due khaw haenghang pawh. Amih te ih kung lamloh haenghang uh mahpawh.
12So man lieth down and riseth not; till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.
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.
13Oh that Thou wouldest hide me in the nether-world, that Thou wouldest keep me secret, until Thy wrath be past, that Thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! —
14Hlang he duek koinih hing venim? Kamah kah caempuei hnin boeih he ka thovaelnah a pawk hil ka lamtawn bitni.
14If a man die, may he live again? All the days of my service would I wait, till my relief should come —
15Nan khue vaengah kai loh nang te ka doo bitni. Na kut dongkah bibi dongah na moo bitni.
15Thou wouldest call, and I would answer Thee; Thou wouldest have a desire to the work of Thy hands.
16Ka khokan he na tae pawn vetih ka tholhnah khaw na dawn mahpawh.
16But now Thou numberest my steps, Thou dost not even wait for my sin;
17Ka boekoek hnocun khuiah catui a hnah thil tih kai kathaesainah na dah thil bitni.
17My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and Thou heapest up mine iniquity.
18Tedae Tlang khaw cungku tih moelh. Lungpang pataeng a hmuen lamloh thoeih.
18And surely the mountain falling crumbleth away, and the rock is removed out of its place;
19Lungto khaw tui loh a hoh tih a kongnawt loh diklai laipi a yo. Te dongah hlanghing kah ngaiuepnah na pal sak.
19The waters wear the stones; the overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth; so Thou destroyest the hope of man.
20Anih te a yoeyah la na khulae tih a hmai a tal la a van daengah anih te na tueih.
20Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth; Thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
21A ca rhoek a thangpom uh dae a ming moenih. Muei uh cakhaw amih a yakming moenih.
21His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he regardeth them not.
22Tedae a pumsa tah a taengah tih thak a khoeih tih a hinglu khaw amah hamla nguekcoi,” a ti.
22But his flesh grieveth for him, and his soul mourneth over him.
