1Job continued his discourse:
1Job loh amah kah a huel ham te a koei tih,
2“As surely as God lives, who has deprived me of justice— the Almighty, who has embittered my soul—
2“Pathen kah hingnah loh kai kah laitloeknah a khoe tih Tlungthang lo ka hinglu a phaep.
3as long as my breath is still within me and the breath of God remains in my nostrils,
3Ka khuikah ka hiil boeih neh ka hnarhong khuikah he Pathen mueihla ni.
4my lips will not speak wickedness, and my tongue will not utter deceit.
4Ka hmuilai loh dumlai thui boel saeh lamtah ka lai loh palyal la caitawk boel saeh.
5I will never say that you are right; I will maintain my integrity until I die.
5Nangmih te kan tang sak atah kai ham savisava. Ka pal duela ka muelhtuetnah he kamah lamloh ka khoe mahpawh.
6I will cling to my righteousness and never let go. As long as I live, my conscience will not accuse me.
6Ka duengnah te ka kop vetih ka hlah mahpawh. Kamah tue lamlong tah ka thinko he veet voel mahpawh.
7May my enemy be like the wicked and my opponent like the unjust.
7Ka thunkha te a halang bangla, kai aka tlai thil khaw a boethae bangla om saeh.
8For what is the hope of the godless when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
8Lailak kah ngaiuepnah tah menim? A mueluem tih Pathen loh a hinglu a bong pah.
9Will God hear his cry when distress comes upon him?
9A soah citcai loh a pai vaengah a pangngawlnah te Pathen loh a hnatun nim?
10Will he delight in the Almighty? Will he call upon God at all times?
10Tlungthang dongah pang a dok vetih, a tue boeih ah Pathen a khue bitni.
11I will instruct you in the power of God. I will not conceal the ways of the Almighty.
11Pathen kah kut te nangmih kan thuinuet phoe vetih, Tlungthang taengkah te ka phah mahpawh.
12Surely all of you have seen it for yourselves. Why then do you keep up this empty talk?
12Nangmih boeih khaw na hmuh vaengah balae tih a honghi neh na hoemdawk he.
13This is the wicked man’s portion from God— the heritage the ruthless receive from the Almighty.
13Halang hlang loh Pathen taeng lamkah khoyo neh hlanghaeng loh Tlungthang taeng lamkah rho a dang he,
14Though his sons are many, they are destined for the sword; and his offspring will never have enough food.
14a ca te cunghang hamla a ping pah tih a cadil cahma khaw buh cung uh mahpawh.
15His survivors will be buried by the plague, and their widows will not weep for them.
15A rhaengnaeng, a rhaengnaeng te dueknah loh a up vetih a nuhmai rhoek loh rhah uh mahpawh.
16Though he heaps up silver like dust and piles up a wardrobe like clay,
16Cak te laipi bangla hmoeng vetih hnicu te dikpo bangla soe ni.
17what he lays up, the righteous will wear, and his silver will be divided by the innocent.
17Tawn cakhaw aka dueng loh a bai vetih cak te ommongsitoe loh a tael ni.
18The house he built is like a moth’s cocoon, like a hut set up by a watchman.
18A im te ning bangla a sak tih dungtlungim bangla rhalrhing a khueh.
19He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more; when he opens his eyes, all is gone.
19Hlanglen la yalh dae khoem uh mahpawh. A mik a dai dae amah om voel pawh.
20Terrors overtake him like a flood; a tempest sweeps him away in the night.
20Anih te tui bangla mueirhih loh a phatawt khoyin ah cangpalam loh a pom.
21The east wind carries him away, and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.
21Anih te kanghawn loh a khuen tih khum. Te vaengah anih te amah hmuen lamloh a yawn.
22It hurls itself against him without mercy as he flees headlong from its power.
22Anih te a voeih tih lungma a ti pawt dongah a kut lamloh yong la yong coeng.
23It claps its hands at him and hisses him out of his place.
23A taengah a kut a paeng uh tih anih te amah hmuen lamloh kut a ving thil.
