Job 12
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1To naah Job mah,
1And Job answered and said,
2Nangcae loe kami ah na oh o pongah, palunghahaih hoiah nawnto na dueh o tih, tiah palunghaeng han om ai.
2No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
3Kai doeh nangcae baktiah poekhaih ka tawnh toeng; nangcae pongah ka hnaem kue ai; ue, mi maw hae baktih hmuennawk panoek ai ah kaom?
3But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
4Sithaw ka kawk naah, anih mah ang pathimh; toe ka imtaeng kami mah ang pahnui thuih; katoeng kami hoi coek koi om ai kami loe pahnuithuihaih ah ni oh.
4I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
5Hmaiim baktiah khosak hoih kami mah raihaih katong amtimh tom kami to pahnuithuih.
5He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
6Hmuenmae taek kaminawk ih kahni im loe qoeng tahang, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk loe ngancuem o; Sithaw mah a ban hoiah angraenghaih to paek.
6The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly .
7Toe vaihi moisannawk to dueng oh, nihcae mah na patuk tih; van ih tavaanawk to dueng oh, nihcae mah na thui o tih;
7But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
8to tih ai boeh loe long to dueng oh, anih mah na patuek ueloe, tuipui tanganawk mah na thui o tih.
8Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
9Hae hmuennawk loe Angraeng mah ni a ban hoiah sak, tiah moisannawk mah mataeng doeh panoek o na ai maw?
9Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?
10A sak ih hmuennawk boih ih hinghaih hoi kami anghahhaih takhi loe a ban ah ni oh.
10In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
11Pakha mah caaknaek pataengh baktih toengah, naa mah loknawk to tanoek na ai maw?
11Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?
12Saning coeh kami loe palunghahaih hoiah koi; saning kasawk ah hing kami loe panoek thaihaih to tawnh.
12With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
13Toe Sithaw loe palunghahaih hoi thacakhaih hoiah akoep; palunghahaih hoi panoek thaihaih doeh anih ih ni.
13With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
14Khenah, anih mah phraek ih hmuen loe, mi mah doeh sah let thai ai boeh; anih mah pakhrak ih kami loe, mi mah doeh loisak thai ai boeh.
14Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
15Khenah, anih mah tui pakaa naah, tui to kaang; anih mah paongh naah, long loe tui hoiah koi.
15Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
16Anih loe thacakhaih hoi palunghahaih hoiah koi; aling kami hoi aling kop kami doeh angmah ban ah ni oh.
16With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.
17Anih mah kahoih poekhaih paek kaminawk to amrosak moe, lokcaek kaminawk to amthusak.
17He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.
18Anih mah siangpahrangnawk to takhoe moe, kazii hoiah zaeng.
18He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.
19Anih mah qaimanawk to takhoe moe, thacak kami to amtimsak.
19He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
20Anih mah oepthok kahoih poekhaih paek kaminawk ih pahni to tamuep pae moe, kacoehtanawk khopoek thaihaih to lak pae ving.
20He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.
21Anih mah angraengnawk to azatpawsak moe, thacak kaminawk to thazoksak.
21He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.
22Anih mah khoving thung hoiah kathuk hmuennawk to amtuengsak moe, duekhaih tahlip to aanghaih thungah zaeh.
22He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
23Prae kaminawk to lensak moe, amrosak let; praenawk to kaawksak moe, tamcaeksak let.
23He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again .
24Long zaehoikungnawk ih palunghahaih to a lak pae ving moe, loklam om ai praezaek ah amhetsak.
24He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
25Nihcae loe aanghaih kaom ai khoving thungah pathoep hoiah avah o moe, mu paqui kami baktiah ahnuk ahmaa amtimh hoiah lam caeh o.
25They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man .
