Job 14
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Nongpata mah tapen ih kami loe nawnetta hing nathung raihaih hoiah koi.
1“Man, who is born of woman, is short of days and full of trouble.
2Anih loe apawk baktiah ampha tahang moe, azaem roep; tahlip baktiah cawnh, cak poe ai.
2Like a flower, he comes forth, then withers away; like a fleeting shadow, he does not endure.
3To baktih hmuen pongah mik na padai moe, lokcaekhaih hmaa ah nang caeh haih han maw?
3Do You open Your eyes to one like this? Will You bring him into judgment before You?
4Mi mah maw kaciim ai thung hoiah kaciim hmuen to sin thai tih? Mi mah doeh sin thai mak ai.
4Who can bring out clean from unclean? No one!
5Kami ih aninawk to kroek moe, khrah nazetto maw oh pae vop, tiah na panoek pae pongah, anih mah poeng thai han ai ah ramri to na sak pae.
5Since his days are determined and the number of his months is with You, and since You have set limits that he cannot exceed,
6Toksak han tlai ih kami baktiah, angmah ih aninawk boeng khoek to, angmah koeh ah oh hanah, anih to angqoi taak ah.
6look away from him and let him rest, so he can enjoy his day as a hired hand.
7Thing loe pakhruk cadoeh, tadok tacawt let ueloe, tanghang kangtha tacawt let tih, tiah oep han oh.
7For there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its tender shoots will not fail.
8Long thung ih tangzuun loe mitong boeh pongah, long ah akung dueh cadoeh,
8If its roots grow old in the ground and its stump dies in the soil,
9tui hmui hoiah tadok let ueloe, thingkung kanawk baktiah tanghang tacawt let tih.
9at the scent of water it will bud and put forth twigs like a sapling.
10Toe kami loe duek moe, qong ving; ue, a hinghaih boeng pacoengah loe naa ah maw om vop tih?
10But a man dies and is laid low; he breathes his last, and where is he?
11Tuipui tui loe anghmat moe, vacong tui doeh kaang king baktih toengah,
11As water disappears from the sea and a river becomes parched and dry,
12kami loe angsong moe, angthawk let ai boeh; vannawk anghmaa ai karoek to anglawt mak ai, a iihhaih ahmuen hoi angthawk mak ai boeh.
12so a man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens are no more, he will not be awakened or roused from sleep.
13Aw taprong thungah na hawk ah, palung na phuihaih dip ai karoek to, tamquta hoi na hawk ah! Kai pahnet han ai ah, ka oh han ih atue to na khaek pae ah.
13If only You would hide me in Sheol and conceal me until Your anger has passed! If only You would appoint a time for me and then remember me!
14Kami loe duek pacoengah hing let tih maw? Karai toksakhaih aninawk loe sawk parai cadoeh, kam khraihaih atue pha ai karoek to ka zing han.
14When a man dies, will he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, until my renewal comes.
15Nang kawk naah, kang pathim pae han; na ban hoi sak ih hmuen to na koeh.
15You will call, and I will answer; You will desire the work of Your hands.
16Vaihi loe ka khok tangkannawk to na kroek moe, ka zaehaih to na khen ai boeh.
16For then You would count my steps, but would not keep track of my sin.
17Ka sakpazaehaih loe pasah thungah catui ka daeng boeh moe, ka zaehaih nang kraeng pae hmoek boeh.
17My transgression would be sealed in a bag, and You would cover over my iniquity.
18Tanim thaih mae loe anghmat boeh moe, lungsong doeh a ohhaih ahmuen hoiah angthuih ving boeh.
18But as a mountain erodes and crumbles and a rock is dislodged from its place,
19Tuinawk mah thlung to maawtsak moe, tui tha mah long to takhawh baktih toengah, kami oephaih to nam rosak.
19as water wears away the stones and torrents wash away the soil, so You destroy a man’s hope.
20Kami to na pazawk poe, anih loe anghmat ving boeh; anih ih mikhmai to nam khraisak moe, kalah bangah na patoeh ving.
20You forever overpower him, and he passes on; You change his countenance and send him away.
21A capanawk mah pakoehhaih hnu o cadoeh, anih mah panoek ai boeh; nihcae atlim ah krah o cadoeh, anih mah panoek pae ai boeh.
21If his sons receive honor, he does not know it; if they are brought low, he is unaware.
22Toe anih ih ngan to naa ueloe, a hinghaih palungsae tih, tiah a naa.
22He feels only the pain of his own body and mourns only for himself.”
