Job 14
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Nongpata mah tapen ih kami loe nawnetta hing nathung raihaih hoiah koi.
1Man born of a woman, living for a short time, is filled with many miseries.
2Anih loe apawk baktiah ampha tahang moe, azaem roep; tahlip baktiah cawnh, cak poe ai.
2Who cometh forth like a flower, and is destroyed, and fleeth as a shadow, and never continueth in the same state.
3To baktih hmuen pongah mik na padai moe, lokcaekhaih hmaa ah nang caeh haih han maw?
3And dost thou think it meet to open thy eyes upon such an one, and to bring him into judgment with thee?
4Mi mah maw kaciim ai thung hoiah kaciim hmuen to sin thai tih? Mi mah doeh sin thai mak ai.
4Who can make him clean that is conceived of unclean seed? is it not thou who only art?
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.
5The days of man are short, and the number of his months is with thee: thou hast appointed his bounds which cannot be passed.
6Toksak han tlai ih kami baktiah, angmah ih aninawk boeng khoek to, angmah koeh ah oh hanah, anih to angqoi taak ah.
6Depart a little from him, that he may rest, until his wished for day come, as that of the hireling.
7Thing loe pakhruk cadoeh, tadok tacawt let ueloe, tanghang kangtha tacawt let tih, tiah oep han oh.
7A tree hath hope: if it be cut, it groweth green again, and the boughs thereof sprout.
8Long thung ih tangzuun loe mitong boeh pongah, long ah akung dueh cadoeh,
8If its root be old in the earth, and its stock be dead in the dust:
9tui hmui hoiah tadok let ueloe, thingkung kanawk baktiah tanghang tacawt let tih.
9At the scent of water, it shall spring, and bring forth leaves, as when it was first planted.
10Toe kami loe duek moe, qong ving; ue, a hinghaih boeng pacoengah loe naa ah maw om vop tih?
10But man when he shall be dead, and stripped and consumed, I pray you where is he?
11Tuipui tui loe anghmat moe, vacong tui doeh kaang king baktih toengah,
11As if the waters should depart out of the sea, and an emptied river should be dried up:
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 man when he is fallen asleep shall not rise again; till the heavens be broken, he shall not awake, nor rise up out of his 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.
13Who will grant me this, that thou mayst protect me in hell, and hide me till thy wrath pass, and appoint me a. time when thou wilt 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.
14Shall man that is dead, thinkest thou, live again? all the days in which I am now in warfare, I expect until my change come.
15Nang kawk naah, kang pathim pae han; na ban hoi sak ih hmuen to na koeh.
15Thou shalt call me, and I will answer thee: to the work of thy hands thou shalt reach out thy right hand.
16Vaihi loe ka khok tangkannawk to na kroek moe, ka zaehaih to na khen ai boeh.
16Thou indeed hast numbered my steps, but spare my sins.
17Ka sakpazaehaih loe pasah thungah catui ka daeng boeh moe, ka zaehaih nang kraeng pae hmoek boeh.
17Thou hast sealed up my offences as it were in a bag, but hast cured my iniquity.
18Tanim thaih mae loe anghmat boeh moe, lungsong doeh a ohhaih ahmuen hoiah angthuih ving boeh.
18A mountain falling cometh to nought, and a rock is removed out of its place.
19Tuinawk mah thlung to maawtsak moe, tui tha mah long to takhawh baktih toengah, kami oephaih to nam rosak.
19Waters wear away the stones, and with inundation the ground by little and little is washed away: so in like manner thou shalt destroy man.
20Kami to na pazawk poe, anih loe anghmat ving boeh; anih ih mikhmai to nam khraisak moe, kalah bangah na patoeh ving.
20Thou hast strengthened him for a little while, that he may pass away for ever: thou shalt change his face, and shalt 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.
21Whether his children come to honour or dishonour, he shall not understand.
22Toe anih ih ngan to naa ueloe, a hinghaih palungsae tih, tiah a naa.
22But yet his flesh, while he shall live, shall have pain, and his soul shall mourn over him.
