Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Then Job answered:
1Te phoeiah Job loh a doo tih,
2“I have heard many things like these; miserable comforters are you all.
2“Te bang ol te muep ka yaak coeng. Nangmih boeih kah a hloep khaw thakthaenah ni.
3Is there no end to your long-winded speeches? What provokes you to continue testifying?
3Khohli ol te a bawtnah om a? Balae tih na doo hamla nang n'huek.
4I could also speak like you if you were in my place; I could heap up words against you and shake my head at you.
4Kai khaw nang bangla ka thui thai ta. Na hinglu te ka hinglu yueng la om koinih olthui neh nangmih te kan sun vetih ka lu lamloh nangmih taengah ka hinghuen van ni.
5But I would encourage you with my mouth, and the consolation of my lips would bring relief.
5Ka ka neh nangmih te kan duel lah vetih ka hmuilai kah thaphohnah loh n'hoeptlang mako.
6Even if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I hold back, how will it go away?
6Ka thui akhaw ka thakkhoeihnah a rhoei moenih. Ka paa koinih kai lamloh metlam a caeh eh?
7Surely He has now exhausted me; You have devastated all my family.
7Ka hlangboel boeih khaw na pong uh tih ka ngak ngawn coeng.
8You have bound me, and it has become a witness; my frailty rises up and testifies against me.
8Kai nan tonga sak khaw laipai la om coeng. Ka laithae khaw ka taengah pai sak tih ka mikhmuh ah n'doo coeng.
9His anger has torn me and opposed me; He gnashes His teeth at me. My adversary pierces me with His eyes.
9A thintoek loh a baeh tih kai soah a konaeh. Kai taengah a no te a tah coeng. Ka rhal loh kai soah a mik a huel.
10They open their mouths against me and strike my cheeks with contempt; they join together against me.
10A ka neh kai n'ang thil uh. Kokhahnah neh ka kam han taam uh tih kai taengah huek ha cu uh.
11God has delivered me to unjust men; He has thrown me to the clutches of the wicked.
11Pathen loh kai he hlang thae taengla n'det tih halang kut dongla kai m'muek.
12I was at ease, but He shattered me; He seized me by the neck and crushed me. He has set me up as His target;
12Thayoeituipan la ka om vaengah kai m'phae. Ka rhawn ah n'khak tih kai he n'taekyak. Te dongah kai he amah ham kutnoek la m'pai sak coeng.
13His archers surround me. He pierces my kidneys without mercy and spills my gall on the ground.
13Ka taengah a lithen rhoek loh m'vael uh tih ka kuel a khoh. Lungma a ti kolla diklai dongah ka hmuet phawt coeng.
14He breaks me with wound upon wound; He rushes me like a mighty warrior.
14A puut hman ah a puut loh kai m'va. Hlangrhalh bangla kai taengah cu.
15I have sewn sackcloth over my skin; I have buried my horn in the dust.
15Ka vin soah tlamhni ka hui tih ka ki khaw laipi neh ka poelyoe coeng.
16My face is red with weeping, and deep shadows ring my eyes;
16Ka maelhmai he rhahnah neh nok la nok uh tih ka mikkhu khaw nut coeng.
17yet my hands are free of violence and my prayer is pure.
17Te cakhaw boethae ka kut ah kuthlahnah om pawt tih ka thangthuinah khaw cil.
18O earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry for help never be laid to rest.
18Diklai nang loh ka thii he vuei boeh. Ka pang ol he khaw hmuen om boel saeh.
19Even now my witness is in heaven, and my advocate is on high.
19Vaan ah pataeng kai kah laipai om tih ka hlangcal khaw hmuensang ah om coeng ke.
20My friends are my scoffers as my eyes pour out tears to God.
20Ka hui khaw Pathen taengah kai kah hmuiyoi la om tih ka mik khaw pha coeng.
21Oh, that a man might plead with God as he pleads with his neighbor!
21Hlang capa tah hlang ham neh a hui ham Pathen taengah a thui ta.
22For when only a few years are past I will go the way of no return.
22Kum a tarhing ah ha pawk vetih ka mael voel mueh caehlong ah ka cet pawn ni.
