1“Man, who is born of a woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.
1Nongpata mah tapen ih kami loe nawnetta hing nathung raihaih hoiah koi.
2He grows up like a flower, and is cut down. He also flees like a shadow, and doesn’t continue.
2Anih loe apawk baktiah ampha tahang moe, azaem roep; tahlip baktiah cawnh, cak poe ai.
3Do you open your eyes on such a one, and bring me into judgment with you?
3To baktih hmuen pongah mik na padai moe, lokcaekhaih hmaa ah nang caeh haih han maw?
4Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.
4Mi mah maw kaciim ai thung hoiah kaciim hmuen to sin thai tih? Mi mah doeh sin thai mak ai.
5Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with you, and you have appointed his bounds that he can’t pass.
5Kami ih aninawk to kroek moe, khrah nazetto maw oh pae vop, tiah na panoek pae pongah, anih mah poeng thai han ai ah ramri to na sak pae.
6Look away from him, that he may rest, until he accomplishes, as a hireling, his day.
6Toksak han tlai ih kami baktiah, angmah ih aninawk boeng khoek to, angmah koeh ah oh hanah, anih to angqoi taak ah.
7“For there is hope for a tree if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, that the tender branch of it will not cease.
7Thing loe pakhruk cadoeh, tadok tacawt let ueloe, tanghang kangtha tacawt let tih, tiah oep han oh.
8Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stock dies in the ground,
8Long thung ih tangzuun loe mitong boeh pongah, long ah akung dueh cadoeh,
9yet through the scent of water it will bud, and sprout boughs like a plant.
9tui hmui hoiah tadok let ueloe, thingkung kanawk baktiah tanghang tacawt let tih.
10But man dies, and is laid low. Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?
10Toe kami loe duek moe, qong ving; ue, a hinghaih boeng pacoengah loe naa ah maw om vop tih?
11As the waters fail from the sea, and the river wastes and dries up,
11Tuipui tui loe anghmat moe, vacong tui doeh kaang king baktih toengah,
12so man lies down and doesn’t rise. Until the heavens are no more, they will not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.
12kami loe angsong moe, angthawk let ai boeh; vannawk anghmaa ai karoek to anglawt mak ai, a iihhaih ahmuen hoi angthawk mak ai boeh.
13“Oh that you would hide me in Sheol, that you would keep me secret until your wrath is past, that you would appoint me a set time and remember me!
13Aw taprong thungah na hawk ah, palung na phuihaih dip ai karoek to, tamquta hoi na hawk ah! Kai pahnet han ai ah, ka oh han ih atue to na khaek pae ah.
14If a man dies, will he live again? I would wait all the days of my warfare, until my release should come.
14Kami loe duek pacoengah hing let tih maw? Karai toksakhaih aninawk loe sawk parai cadoeh, kam khraihaih atue pha ai karoek to ka zing han.
15You would call, and I would answer you. You would have a desire for the work of your hands.
15Nang kawk naah, kang pathim pae han; na ban hoi sak ih hmuen to na koeh.
16But now you count my steps. Don’t you watch over my sin?
16Vaihi loe ka khok tangkannawk to na kroek moe, ka zaehaih to na khen ai boeh.
17My disobedience is sealed up in a bag. You fasten up my iniquity.
17Ka sakpazaehaih loe pasah thungah catui ka daeng boeh moe, ka zaehaih nang kraeng pae hmoek boeh.
18“But the mountain falling comes to nothing. The rock is removed out of its place.
18Tanim thaih mae loe anghmat boeh moe, lungsong doeh a ohhaih ahmuen hoiah angthuih ving boeh.
19The waters wear the stones. The torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth. So you destroy the hope of man.
19Tuinawk mah thlung to maawtsak moe, tui tha mah long to takhawh baktih toengah, kami oephaih to nam rosak.
20You forever prevail against him, and he departs. You change his face, and send him away.
20Kami to na pazawk poe, anih loe anghmat ving boeh; anih ih mikhmai to nam khraisak moe, kalah bangah na patoeh ving.
21His sons come to honor, and he doesn’t know it. They are brought low, but he doesn’t perceive it of them.
21A capanawk mah pakoehhaih hnu o cadoeh, anih mah panoek ai boeh; nihcae atlim ah krah o cadoeh, anih mah panoek pae ai boeh.
22But his flesh on him has pain, and his soul within him mourns.”
22Toe anih ih ngan to naa ueloe, a hinghaih palungsae tih, tiah a naa.
