Job 13
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Khenah, hae hmuennawk hae ka mik mah hnuk boeh; ka naa mah thaih moe, panoek boeh.
1Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.
2Na panoek ih hmuen to, ka panoek toeng; nang pongah ka hnaem kue ai.
2What ye know, do I know also; I am not inferior unto you.
3Toe Thacak Sithaw khaeah ka thuih moe, Sithaw hoi angaek hanah ka koeh.
3Notwithstanding I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
4Toe nangcae loe amsawnlok thui kami, tidoeh avang ai siboi ah ni na oh o.
4But ye are plasterers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
5Lok apae ai ah na oh o duem nahaeloe, nangmacae palunghahaih ah om tih.
5Oh that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it would be your wisdom.
6Ka thuih han ih lok to tahngai oh loe, pahni hoiah ka thuih han ih lok hae tahngai oh.
6Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
7Sithaw kasae na thuih o han maw? Anih to na ling o han maw?
7Will ye speak unrighteously for God, and talk deceitfully for Him?
8Anih mikhmai maw na khet o han? Sithaw han lok na aek pae o han maw?
8Will ye show Him favour? Will ye contend for God?
9Anih mah ang khet o naah hoih, tiah thui tih maw? Kami aling baktiah Sithaw to aling thai maw?
9Would it be good that He should search you out? Or as one mocketh a man, will ye mock Him?
10Tamquta hoi mikhmai na khet o nahaeloe, anih mah na thuitaek o tih.
10He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly show favour.
11A lensawkhaih loe nang han zitthok ai maw? Anih zit thohhaih na nuiah krah mak ai maw?
11Shall not His majesty terrify you, and His dread fall upon you?
12Nangcae panoek thaihaih loe maiphu baktiah ni oh, nangcae abuephaih ahmuen doeh long hoiah sak ih abuephaih ah ni oh.
12Your memorials shall be like unto ashes, your eminences to eminences of clay.
13Anghngai o duem ah, lok ka thuih han vop; to pacoengah kawbaktih hmuen doeh ka nuiah pha nasoe.
13Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.
14Toe kai loe ka ngan hae kaek moe, ka hinghaih hae ban hoi ka sin han.
14Wherefore? I will take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand.
15Anih mah kai na hum cadoeh, a nuiah oephaih ka tawn vop tih; a hmaa ah zae loihhaih lok to ka thuih han vop.
15Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him; but I will argue my ways before Him.
16Anih loe kai pahlonghaih ah om tih; amoek kaminawk loe a hmaa ah angzo o mak ai.
16This also shall be my salvation, that a hypocrite cannot come before Him.
17Ka lok hae palung tang hoi tahngai oh; ka thuih ih lok hae naa patueng oh.
17Hear diligently my speech, and let my declaration be in your ears.
18Khenah, vaihi kaimah kawng taphong hanah ka oh coek, ka zaehaih loih tih boeh, tiah ka panoek.
18Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
19Mi mah maw kai hae zaehaih net tang tih? To tiah zaehaih na net nahaeloe, lok apae ai ah kang hngai duem moe, ka duek halat han boeh.
19Who is he that will contend with me? For then would I hold my peace and die.
20Hmuen hnetto khue ni kang hnik; nang paek nahaeloe na hmaa hoiah kang hawk ving mak ai.
20Only do not two things unto me, then will I not hide myself from Thee:
21Kai khae hoi na ban to azuk ving ah, na zitthohhaih hoiah na pazih hmah.
21Withdraw Thy hand far from me; and let not Thy terror make me afraid.
22To pacoengah na kawk ah, kang pathim han; to tih ai boeh loe kai ka thuih hmaloe han, to pacoengah nang mah pathim ah.
22Then call Thou, and I will answer; or let me speak, and answer Thou me.
23Ka sakpazaehaih hoi zaehaih nazetto maw oh? Ka sakpazaehaih hoi ka zaehaih to na patuek ah.
23How many are mine iniquities and sins? Make me to know my transgression and my sin.
24Tipongah mikhmai na hawk moe, na misa ah nang suek loe?
24Wherefore hidest Thou Thy face, and holdest me for Thine enemy?
25Takhi mah hmuh ih thingqam to na zit maw? Kangqo thingqam to na patom han maw?
25Wilt Thou harass a driven leaf? And wilt Thou pursue the dry stubble?
26Kakhaa parai ka zaehaih to na pakuem moe, thendoeng nathuem ah ka sak ih zaehaih atho to vaihi kai han nang tongsak boeh.
26That Thou shouldest write bitter things against me, and make me to inherit the iniquities of my youth.
27Ka khok ah thlong nang thuk moe, ka caehhaih loklamnawk boih to na khet; ka cawh ih khokkong doeh na parui boih.
27Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; Thou drawest Thee a line about the soles of my feet;
28To tiah raihaih tongh kami loe, kaqong hmuen baktih, karaa mah caak ih laihaw kaprawn baktiah, thazok moe, anghmat zuep boeh.
28Though I am like a wine-skin that consumeth, like a garment that is moth-eaten.
