Job 10
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1My soul is weary of my life; I will give free course to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
1Ka pakhra mah ka hinghaih hmawt sut boeh; to pongah laisaephaih ai ah loe ka om thai ai, ka hingh patangkhanghaih hae nang khaeah kang thuih han.
2I will say unto God: Do not condemn me; make me know wherefore Thou contendest with me.
2Sithaw khaeah, Zaehaih na net hmah, tipongah misa ah nang suek loe, na thui ah, tiah ka naa han.
3Is it good unto Thee that Thou shouldest oppress, that Thou shouldest despise the work of Thy hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
3Minawk pacaekthlaek moe, na ban hoi sak ih hmuen to patoekhaih pacoengah, kasae kaminawk poekhaih to nang hoe haih maw?
4Hast Thou eyes of flesh? or seest Thou as man seeth?
4Nang loe long taksa mik maw na tawnh? To tih ai boeh loe kami mah hnuk ih baktiah maw na hnuk?
5Are Thy days as the days of man, or Thy years as a man's days,
5Nang ih aninawk loe kadueh thaih kaminawk ih ani baktiah maw oh? Nang ih saningnawk doeh kami ih saning baktiah maw oh?
6That Thou inquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin,
6Tipongah ka sakpazaehaih hoi ka zaehaih to na pakrong loe?
7Although Thou knowest that I shall not be condemned; and there is none that can deliver out of Thy hand?
7Kai loe kasae kami na ai ni, tiah na panoek; mi mah doeh na ban thung hoi pahlong thai mak ai.
8Thy hands have framed me and fashioned me together round about; yet Thou dost destroy me!
8Ka takpum boih hae na ban hoiah ni nang sak, ka tungkrang doeh nang ohsak; toe vaihi nam rosak han boeh maw?
9Remember, I beseech Thee, that Thou hast fashioned me as clay; and wilt Thou bring me into dust again?
9Kai hae tangphrung long baktiah ni nang sak, tiah pahnet hmah; vaihi maiphu ah maw nam laemsak let han boeh?
10Hast Thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
10Kai hae maitaw tahnutui baktiah nang kraih moe, maitaw tahnutui kamkhawk baktiah nam khawksak boeh na ai maw?
11Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
11Kai hanah agan hoi ahin to nang khuksak moe, ahuh hoi thaquinawk hoiah nang zaeng.
12Thou hast granted me life and favour, and Thy providence hath preserved my spirit.
12Hinghaih hoi tahmenhaih kai hanah nang paek, ka muithla hae nang khetzawn.
13Yet these things Thou didst hide in Thy heart; I know that this is with Thee;
13Toe hae hmuennawk thui ai ah palung thungah na suek; na palung thungah hae hmuen hae oh, tiah ka panoek.
14If I sin, then Thou markest me, and Thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
14Ka zae nahaeloe, ka zaehaih to na pakuem moe, ka zaehaih baktih toengah dan nang paek.
15If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet shall I not lift up my head — being filled with ignominy and looking upon mine affliction.
15Kahoih ai kami ah ka oh nahaeloe, khosak bing boeh! Toenghaih hoi ka oh cadoeh, pakoehhaih ka hnu ai. Patangkhanghaih ka poek loiah ka zat sut boeh;
16And if it exalt itself, Thou huntest me as a lion; and again Thou showest Thyself marvellous upon me.
16kang thawk tahang naah, zoep ih hmawsaeng kaipui baktiah nang zoep moe, zitthok hmuen ka nuiah nam tuengsak.
17Thou renewest Thy witnesses against me, and increasest Thine indignation upon me; host succeeding host against me.
17Kai kasae thuih koeh kami na tawnh mangh, ka nuiah palungphuihaih na thap aep; kai tuk han koeh paroeai misa to nang zoh haih.
18Wherefore then hast Thou brought me forth out of the womb? Would that I had perished, and no eye had seen me!
18Tipongah kam no zok thung hoiah nang tacawtsak loe? Ka duek ving nahaeloe, mi mah doeh na hnu mak ai.
19I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
19Kaom vai ai baktiah ka om ueloe, kam no zok thung hoiah taprong ah na caeh o haih tih.
20Are not my days few? Cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
20Kai ih atue loe setta ah na ai maw oh boeh? Ka phak pacoengah kam laem let han ai ih prae, duekhaih tahlip mah khuk ih vinghaih prae ah ka caeh ai naah, nawnetta thung, kaimabueng monghaih hoiah ka oh hanah, na caeh taak ah,
21Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
no verse 21 in this text
22A land of thick darkness, as darkness itself; a land of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
22to prae loe aqum baktih khovinghaih prae, hmuen boih angmah ih ahmuen ah kaom ai, duekhaih tahlip ahmuen, aanghaih to vinghaih ah kaom prae ni, tiah ka thuih han, tiah anih mah pathim pae.
