1Paipi te ka mik neh ka saii dongah me tlam lae oila te ka yakming eh?
1I made a covenant with my eyes, that I would not so much as think upon a virgin.
2A so lamkah Pathen khoyo neh hmuensang lamkah Tlungthang rho te menim?
2For what part should God from above have in me, and what inheritance the Almighty from on high?
3Boethae ham rhainah neh boethae aka saii ham yoethaenah moenih a?
3Is not destruction to the wicked, and aversion to them that work iniquity?
4Amah loh ka longpuei a hmuh tih ka khokan boeih he a tae moenih a?
4Doth not he consider my ways, and number all my steps?
5A poeyoek taengah ka pongpa tih ka kho loh a hlangthai palat taengla a tawn uh atah,
5If I have walked in vanity, and my foot hath made haste to deceit:
6Duengnah cooi dongah kai n'khiing saeh lamtah Pathen loh ka muelhtuetnah ming saeh.
6Let him weigh me in a just balance, and let God know my simplicity.
7Longpuei lamloh ka khokan a buung atah, ka mik hnukah ka lungbuei cet tih ka kut dongah a lolhmaih a kap atah,
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:
8ka soem vaengah a tloe loh ca saeh lamtah ka cadil rhoek te ha uh saeh.
8Then let me sow and let another eat: and let my offspring be rooted out.
9Huta loh ka lungbuei a hlae tih ka hui kah thohka ah ka rhongngol atah,
9If my heart hath been deceived upon a woman, and if I have laid wait at my friend’s door:
10Ka yuu loh a tloe la kuelh saeh lamtah a taengah hlang tloe bakop mai saeh.
10Let my wife be the harlot of another, and let other men lie with her.
11Te dongah te khonuen rhamtat neh te te thaesainah rhokhan ni.
11For this is a heinous crime, and a most grievous iniquity.
12Te hmai loh Abaddon duela a hlawp tih ka cangvuei te boeih ha.
12It is a fire that devoureth even to destruction, and rooteth up all things that spring.
13Ka salpa neh ka salnu loh kai taengah a tuituk vaengah tiktamnah ka hnawt atah,
13If I have despised to abide judgment with my manservant, or my maidservant, when they had any controversy against me:
14Pathen a thoh vaengah balae ka saii vetih n'hip vaengah amah te metlam ol ka mael eh?
14For what shall I do when God shall rise to judge? and when he shall examine, what shall I answer him?
15Bungko khuiah kai aka saii loh anih a saii moenih a? Kaimih he bung khuiah pakhat la n'cuen sak.
15Did not he that made me in the womb make him also: and did not one and the same form me in the womb?
16tattloel kah kongaih te ka hloh pah tih nuhmai mik te ka khah sak koinih,
16If I have denied to the poor what they desired, and have made the eyes of the widow wait:
17Kamah buhkam te kamah bueng loh ka caak tih cadah loh ca pawt koinih,
17If I have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof:
18Ka camoe lamloh napa bangla ka taengah pantai tih nuhmai khaw a nu bung lamloh ka mawt.
18(For from my infancy mercy grew up with me: and it came out with me from my mother’s womb:)
19Pueinak mueh tih himbai tling la aka milh khodaeng te ka hmuh mai tih,
19If I have despised him that was perishing for want of clothing, and the poor man that had no covering:
20A pumpu, a pumpu ah kai n'uem uh vaengah ka tu mul neh ka hlung pawt mai koinih,
20If his sides have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep:
21Vongka ah kai bomkung te ka hmuh vaengah ka kut he cadah soah ka ka thueng atah,
21If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, even when I saw myself superior in the gate:
22ka laengpang he a hnuk lamloh rhul saeh lamtah ka ban a cung dong lamloh tlawt mai saeh.
22Let my shoulder fall from its joint, and let my arm with its bones be broken.
23Pathen taengkah rhainah te kai ham ka birhihnah la a om dongah a boeimangnah te ka noeng moenih.
23For I have always feared God as waves swelling over me, and his weight I was not able to bear.
24Sui te ka uepnah la ka khueh tih sui cilh te ka pangtungnah la ka thui koinih,
24If I have thought gold my strength, and have said to fine gold: My confidence:
25Ka thadueng len tih ka kut loh a khuet la a hmuh dongah ka kokhahnah atah,
25If I have rejoiced over my great riches, and because my hand had gotten much.
26Vangnah dongah a thangthen tih hla vang a thoeih te ka hmuh vaengah,
26If I beheld the sun when it shined, and the moon going in brightness:
27ka lungbuei he yinhnuk ah hloih tih ka kut loh ka ka te mok koinih.
27And my heart in secret hath rejoiced, and I have kissed my hand with my mouth:
28He khaw a so kah Pathen taengah ka basa la om vetih thaesainah lai la om ni.
28Which is a very great iniquity, and a denial against the most high God.
29Ka lunguet kah yoethaenah dongah ka kohoe tih yoethae loh anih taengla a thoeng te ka haenghang puei atah,
29If I have been glad at the downfall of him that hated me, and have rejoiced that evil had found him.
30A hinglu te thaephoeinah neh hoe hamla ka ka he laihmu la ka khueh aih moenih.
30For I have not given my mouth to sin, by wishing a curse to his soul.
31Ka dap kah hlang rhoek loh, “U long nim a maeh te a cung pawt la a paek eh?” a ti uh moenih a?
31If the men of my tabernacle have not said: Who will give us of his flesh that we may be filled?
32Ka thohkhaih kah yinlai te caehlong ka ong pah tih vongvoel ah a rhaeh moenih.
32The stranger did not stay without, my door was open to the traveller.
33Hlang bangla ka boekoeknah ka dah tih, kai kathaesainah he ka thindang ah ka det mai akhaw,
33If as a man I have hid my sin, and have concealed my iniquity in my bosom.
34hlangping te yet taengah ka sarhing tih huiko kah nueihbu loh kai n'rhihyawp sak. Te dongah ka kuemsuem tih thohka la ka moe pawh.
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.
35Kai taengkah aka hnatun la kamah taengah u long nim m'paek lah mako? Ka kutha he Tlungthang loh kai n'doo saeh lamtah ka tuituknah he hlang loh cabu la daek saeh.
35Who would grant me a hearer, that the Almighty may hear my desire; and that he himself that judgeth would write a book,
36Te te ka laengpang ah ka koh vetih te te ka soah rhuisam la ka laikoeinah het mahpawt nim?
36That I may carry it on my shoulder, and put it about me as a crown?
37Ka khokan tarhing la a taengah ka puen lah vetih anih te rhaengsang bangla ka paan lah mako.
37At every step of mine I would pronounce it, and offer it as to a prince.
38Ka khohmuen loh kai m'pang thil tih a kong te rhenten rhap koinih,
38If my land cry against me, and with it the furrows thereof mourn:
39A thadueng te tangka mueh la ka caak tih a kungmah kah hinglu ka yawn sak atah,
39If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, and have afflicted the soul of the tillers thereof:
40Cang yueng la mutlo hling, cangtun yueng la saeldol khaw poe saeh,” a ti. Job kah ol bawt coeng.
40Let thistles grow up to me instead of wheat, and thorns instead of barley.
