1And Job continued his discourse:
1Job loh amah kah a pom te a cong tih,
2“How I long for the months gone by, for the days when God watched over me,
2“Kai he hlamat kah hla bangla aka khueh tih Pathen kah khohnin bangla kai aka tuem te unim?
3when His lamp shone above my head, and by His light I walked through the darkness,
3Amah loh a hmaithoi te ka lu soah a thangthen tih amah kah vangnah nen ni a hmuep ah khaw ka caeh.
4when I was in my prime, when the friendship of God rested on my tent,
4Ka cavaa tue vaengah khaw ka dap ah Pathen kah baecenol la ka om.
5when the Almighty was still with me and my children were around me,
5Tlungthang te kai taengah om pueng tih, ka kaepvai ka ca rhoek om.
6when my steps were bathed in cream and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!
6Ka khokan te suknaeng neh a hluk tih lungpang loh kai ham situi sokca a long sak.
7When I went out to the city gate and took my seat in the public square,
7Vangpuei vongka ah ka thoeng tih toltung ah ka ngolhmuen cikngae sak.
8the young men saw me and withdrew, and the old men rose to their feet.
8Kai m'hmuh uh vaengah cadong rhoek te thuh uh. Patong rhoek khaw thoo uh tih pai uh.
9The princes refrained from speaking and covered their mouths with their hands.
9Mangpa rhoek loh olthui te a phah uh tih a kut te a ka dongla a khueh uh.
10The voices of the nobles were hushed, and their tongues stuck to the roofs of their mouths.
10Rhaengsang rhoek ol te a phah tih a lai khaw a dang dongla kap.
11For those who heard me called me blessed, and those who saw me commended me,
11Hna loh a yaak vaengah kai n'uem tih mik loh a hmuh vaengah kai n'rhalrhing sak.
12because I rescued the poor who cried out and the fatherless who had no helper.
12Mangdaeng loh bomnah a bih tih cadah neh a taengah aka bom aka om pawt khaw ka loeih sak.
13The dying man blessed me, and I made the widow’s heart sing for joy.
13Hlang milh kah yoethennah te kai soah pai tih nuhmai kah lungbuei khaw ka tamhoe sak.
14I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; justice was my robe and my turban.
14Duengnah te ka bai tih hnikul bangla kai n'khuk. Ka tiktamnah he ka sammuei nah ni.
15I served as eyes to the blind and as feet to the lame.
15Mikdael taengah mik la, khokhaem taengah kho la ka om.
16I was a father to the needy, and I took up the case of the stranger.
16Kai tah khodaeng taengah a napa la ka om tih ming pawt kah tuituknah te ka khe pah.
17I shattered the fangs of the unjust and snatched the prey from his teeth.
17Boethae kah pumcu te ka thuk pah tih a no lamkah maeh te ka voeih pah.
18So I thought: ‘I will die in my nest and multiply my days as the sand.
18Te dongah, “Ka bu ah ka pal mako,” ka ti tih laivin bangla khohnin ka puh.
19My roots will spread out to the waters, and the dew will rest nightly on my branches.
19Ka yung loh tui taengla a muk tih buemtui loh ka cangvuei dongah rhaeh.
20My glory is ever new within me, and my bow is renewed in my hand.’
20Ka thangpomnah ka taengah thai tih ka lii ka kut dongah tinghil.
21Men listened to me with expectation, waiting silently for my counsel.
21Kai taengah a hnatun uh tih a lamtawn uh dongah ka cilsuep ham kuemsuem uh.
22After my words, they spoke no more; my speech settled on them like dew.
22Ka ol hnukah talh uh voel pawt tih kai olthui he amih soah tla.
23They waited for me as for rain and drank in my words like spring showers.
23Kai ham tah khotlan bangla a lamtawn uh tih a ka loh tlankhol bangla a ang uh.
24If I smiled at them, they did not believe it; the light of my countenance was precious.
24Amih taengah ka luem dae n'tangnah uh pawt tih ka maelhmai vangnah dongah khaw yalh uh pawh.
25I chose their course and presided as chief. So I dwelt as a king among his troops, as a comforter of the mourners.
25Amih kah longpuei te ka coelh tih boeilu la ka ngol. Caem lakli ah manghai bangla kho ka sak tih rhahdoe cangpoem akhaw a hloep.
