1Diklai hman ah hlanghing hamla caempuei a om moenih a? A khohnin te kutloh kah khohnin banghui ni.
1“Isn’t a man forced to labor on earth? Aren’t his days like the days of a hired hand?
2Sal bangla hlipkhup a hloep tih kutloh bangla a bisai a lamtawn.
2As a servant who earnestly desires the shadow, as a hireling who looks for his wages,
3Ka taengah a poeyoek la a hla ka pang van tih thakthaenah hlaem he kai hamla a khueh.
3so I am made to possess months of misery, wearisome nights are appointed to me.
4Ka yalh tih, “Me vaengah nim ka thoh ve?” ka ti. Khoyin loh puh tih hlaemhmah duela yutnah khaw ka cung.
4When I lie down, I say, ‘When will I arise, and the night be gone?’ I toss and turn until the dawning of the day.
5Ka saa loh a rhit a bai, ka vin laipi tiknong khaw uet tih a tuei.
5My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust. My skin closes up, and breaks out afresh.
6Ka khohnin loh tampai lakah bawn tih lungli lungla la ngaiuepnah bawt.
6My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.
7Ka hingnah mueihla he poek lah. Hnothen hmuh ham khaw ka mik loh mael voel mahpawh.
7Oh remember that my life is a breath. My eye will no more see good.
8Kai aka so mik loh kai m'mae voel mahpawh. Na mik te kai soah om dae kai ka om voel pawh.
8The eye of him who sees me will see me no more. Your eyes will be on me, but I will not be.
9Cingmai loh haai tih cing, saelkhui la aka suntla rhoek tah ha mael tangloeng pawh.
9As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he who goes down to Sheol will come up no more.
10A im la koep mael pawt vetih a hmuen loh anih hmat voel mahpawh.
10He will return no more to his house, neither will his place know him any more.
11Te dongah kai khaw ka ka tuem mahpawh. Ka mueihla khobing doela ka thui vetih. Ka hinglu khahing doela ka lolmang pueng ni.
11“Therefore I will not keep silent. I will speak in the anguish of my spirit. I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12Kai he tuipuei tuihnam tih nim kai soah thongim na khueh.
12Am I a sea, or a sea monster, that you put a guard over me?
13Ka soengca kai n'hloep bitni, ka thingkong loh ka kohuetnah te a phueih bitni ka ti.
13When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me. My couch will ease my complaint,’
14Mueimang neh kai nan rhihyawp sak tih olphong neh kai nan let sak.
14then you scare me with dreams and terrify me through visions,
15Ka hinglu loh ka rhuhrhong lakah khaknah neh dueknah ni a coelh.
15so that my soul chooses strangling, death rather than my bones.
16Ka kohnue coeng, kumhal duela ka hing mahpawh, kai he n'toeng laeh, ka khohnin khaw a honghi ni.
16I loathe my life. I don’t want to live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
17Mebang hlanghing lae amah na pantai sak tih a taengah na lungbuei na khueh te.
17What is man, that you should magnify him, that you should set your mind on him,
18Anih te mincang ah na cawh tih mikhaptok ah ni anih te na loepdak.
18that you should visit him every morning, and test him every moment?
19Balae tih kai lamloh na mangthong pawt eh? Ka timtui ka dolh hil kai nan rhael moenih.
19How long will you not look away from me, nor leave me alone until I swallow down my spittle?
20Hlang aka kueinah nang taengah ka tholh tih balae ka saii? Balae tih kai he na kutnoek la nan khueh. Te dongah kai ham tah hnorhih la ka om coeng.
20If I have sinned, what do I do to you, you watcher of men? Why have you set me as a mark for you, so that I am a burden to myself?
21Te dongah ka boekoek he na phueih tih kai kathaesainah he nan khoe mai pawt lae? Laipi khuila ka yalh pawn ni. Kai na toem cakhaw ka om voel moenih,” a ti nah.
21Why do you not pardon my disobedience, and take away my iniquity? For now will I lie down in the dust. You will seek me diligently, but I will not be.”
