Job 11
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
World English Bible
1To naah Namaat acaeng Zophar mah,
1Then Zophar, the Naamathite, answered,
2pop parai loknawk hae pathim han ai boeh maw? Lokthui thaih kami to a zaehaih thung hoiah loisak han oh maw?
2“Shouldn’t the multitude of words be answered? Should a man full of talk be justified?
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 boastings make men hold their peace? When you mock, will no man make you ashamed?
4Nang mah, Ka thuih ih lok loe toeng, Sithaw hmaa ah ka ciim, tiah na thuih.
4For you say, ‘My doctrine is pure. I am clean in your eyes.’
5Toe Sithaw mah lokthui nasoe loe, na pahni to paong pae nasoe,
5But oh that 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.
6that he would show you the secrets of wisdom! For true wisdom has two sides. Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.
7Kathuk Sithaw ih hmuen to na hnuk thai maw? Thacak Sithaw akoephaih na panoek thai maw?
7“Can you fathom the mystery of God? Or can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
8Vannawk pongah kasang, timaw na sah thai tih? Hell pongah kathuk kue, timaw na panoek thai tih?
8They are high as heaven. 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.
9Its measure is longer than the earth, and broader 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 passes by, or confines, or convenes a court, then who can oppose 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?
11For he knows false men. He sees iniquity also, even though he doesn’t consider it.
12Toe taw ih laa hrang to kami baktiah tapen naah ni, tidoeh avang ai kami loe palungha thai vop tih.
12An empty-headed man becomes wise when a man is born as a wild donkey’s colt.
13Toe palungthin nam khraih moe, angmah khaeah ban na payangh pacoengah,
13“If you set your heart aright, stretch out your hands toward 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 iniquity is in your hand, put it far away. Don’t let unrighteousness dwell in your tents.
15coek koi om ai ah na mikhmai amtueng tih; ue, zithaih om ai ah, kacakah nang doe tih:
15Surely then you will lift up your face without spot. Yes, you will be steadfast, and will not fear,
16raihaih to na pahnet ueloe, kalaem tangcae tui baktiah ni na poek tih boeh.
16for you will forget your misery. You will remember it like waters that have passed away.
17Na hinghaih loe athun ih ni aengh pongah aang kue tih; vaihi kaving ah na oh cadoeh, akhawnbang baktiah aang tih.
17Life will be clearer than the noonday. Though there is darkness, it will be as 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. Yes, you will search, and will take your rest in safety.
19Nang song naah, mi mah doeh zithaih na paek mak ai; ue, kami paroeai mah na ven o tih.
19Also you will lie down, and no one will make you afraid. Yes, 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. They will have no way to flee. Their hope will be the giving up of the spirit.”
