Job 11
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1To naah Namaat acaeng Zophar mah,
1Then Zophar the Naamathite replied:
2pop parai loknawk hae pathim han ai boeh maw? Lokthui thaih kami to a zaehaih thung hoiah loisak han oh maw?
2“Should this stream of words go unanswered and such a speaker be vindicated?
3Lok nam laihaih mah minawk lokpae ai ah anghgaisak duem thai tih maw? Kami na pahnui thuih naah, nang azatpaw han thuitaek kami om mak ai maw?
3Should your babbling put others to silence? Will you scoff without rebuke?
4Nang mah, Ka thuih ih lok loe toeng, Sithaw hmaa ah ka ciim, tiah na thuih.
4You have said, ‘My doctrine is sound, and I am pure in Your sight.’
5Toe Sithaw mah lokthui nasoe loe, na pahni to paong pae nasoe,
5But if only God would speak and open His lips against you,
6Anih mah panoek karai alet hnetto palunghahaih amtuengsak nasoe; to tiah ni na sakpazaehaih baktiah na tongh han ih hmuen pong tamsi ah Sithaw mah dan ang paek, tiah na panoek tih.
6and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom has two sides. Know then that God exacts from you less than your iniquity deserves.
7Kathuk Sithaw ih hmuen to na hnuk thai maw? Thacak Sithaw akoephaih na panoek thai maw?
7Can you fathom the deep things of God or discover the limits of the Almighty?
8Vannawk pongah kasang, timaw na sah thai tih? Hell pongah kathuk kue, timaw na panoek thai tih?
8They are higher than the heavens—what can you do? They are deeper than Sheol—what can you know?
9To kathuk hmuennawk tahhaih loe long pongah sawk kue moe, tuipui pongah doeh kawk kue.
9Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.
10Sithaw mah naeh maw, thong pakhrak maw, to tih ai boeh loe lok maw na caek nahaeloe, mi mah maw pakaa thai tih?
10If He comes along to imprison you, or convenes a court, who can stop Him?
11Sithaw loe tidoeh avang ai kami to panoek; sakpazae ih hmuen doeh a hnuk; to tiah nahaeloe anih mah to hmuen to poek ai ah om tih maw?
11Surely He knows the deceit of men. If He sees iniquity, does He not take note?
12Toe taw ih laa hrang to kami baktiah tapen naah ni, tidoeh avang ai kami loe palungha thai vop tih.
12But a witless man can no more become wise than the colt of a wild donkey can be born a man!
13Toe palungthin nam khraih moe, angmah khaeah ban na payangh pacoengah,
13As for you, if you direct your heart and lift up your hands to Him,
14na ban ah sakpazaehaih om cadoeh, to zaehaih to na vah ving moe, na ohhaih kahni im ah sethaih na omsak ai nahaeloe,
14if you put away the iniquity in your hand, and allow no injustice to dwell in your tents,
15coek koi om ai ah na mikhmai amtueng tih; ue, zithaih om ai ah, kacakah nang doe tih:
15then indeed you will lift up your face without shame; you will stand firm and unafraid.
16raihaih to na pahnet ueloe, kalaem tangcae tui baktiah ni na poek tih boeh.
16For you will forget your misery, recalling it only as waters gone by.
17Na hinghaih loe athun ih ni aengh pongah aang kue tih; vaihi kaving ah na oh cadoeh, akhawnbang baktiah aang tih.
17Your life will be brighter than noonday; its darkness will be like the morning.
18Oephaih oh pongah, monghaih hoiah na om tih; ue, angmah na khenzawn ueloe, ngancuem ah nang hak tih boeh.
18You will be secure, because there is hope, and you will look around and lie down in safety.
19Nang song naah, mi mah doeh zithaih na paek mak ai; ue, kami paroeai mah na ven o tih.
19You will lie down without fear, and many will court your favor.
20Toe kasae kami ih mik loe thazok tih, loih o mak ai; nihcae oephaih doeh dueh ving tih, tiah a naa.
20But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and escape will elude them; they will hope for their last breath.”
