Job 15
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1To naah Taman acaeng Eliphaz mah,
1Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
2palungha kami loe takhi hoi kanghmong lokthuih han oh maw? A zok to ni angyae bang ih takhi hoi koisak han oh maw?
2Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
3Tidoeh avang ai lok, to tih ai boeh loe atho om ai lok thuih han oh maw?
3Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
4Ue, nang loe Sithaw zithaih to na pahnawt sut boeh moe, Sithaw khae lawkthuihaih doeh na pakaa khoep boeh.
4Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
5Na pakha mah zaehaih to thuih moe, aling thaih kami ih lok to na patoh.
5For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
6Kai mah zaehaih kang net ai, na pakha mah ni ang net; ue, na palai mah na sethaih to thuih.
6Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
7Nang loe tapen tangsuek kami ah maw na oh? Maenawk sah ai naah sak ah na oh boeh maw?
7Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
8Sithaw khae hoi ih tamqu lok to na thaih vai maw? Palunghahaih tawn kami loe nang khue maw?
8Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
9Ka panoek o ai ih hmuen, timaw na panoek? Ka thaih o kop ai ih hmuen, timaw na thai kop?
9What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?
10Nam pa pongah saning coeh, sampok kaminawk kaicae khaeah oh vop.
10With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.
11Sithaw pathloephaih lok to na khawt ai vop maw? Hawk ih hmuen na suek vop maw?
11Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
12Tipongah palung koehhaih to na paroi moe, miktamai hoiah mik na padai loe?
12Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
13To tiah na oh pongah na ai maw Sithaw koeh ai ih hmuen to na sak moe, na pakha thung hoiah lok na tacawtsak?
13That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?
14Kami loe timaw, anih loe ciim thai tih maw? Nongpata mah tapen ih kami loe toeng thai tih maw?
14What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15Khenah, Sithaw loe angmah ih kaciim kaminawk mataeng doeh oep ai; ue, a hmaa ah loe vannawk doeh ciim ai.
15Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
16To tiah nahaeloe zaehaih tui baktih kanae, panuet thok kami cae loe kawkruk maw amhnong tih?
16How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
17Tahngai ah, kang thuih han vop; ka hnuk ih hmuen to kang thuih han vop;
17I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
18palungha kaminawk loe, ampanawk khae hoi hak ih hmuennawk to angphat ai ah thuih o:
18Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
19nihcae acaeng han khue ni prae to paek, nihcae salakah acaeng kalah mi doeh om o ai.
19Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
20Kasae kami loe a hing thung patangkhang, pacaekthlaek thaih kami loe a hing thung karai tong han ih saningnawk to panoek ai.
20The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
21Anih ih naa loe zithaih lok hoiah koi; khosak hoih nathuem ah, a nuiah amrohaih to phak.
21A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
22Anih loe vinghaih thung hoi loih hanah oephaih tawn ai; sumsen ni a zing sut boeh.
22He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
23Anih loe amhet rumram moe, caaknaek to pakrong; a nuiah pha han koi vinghaih ani loe zoi boeh, tiah anih mah panoek.
23He wandereth abroad for bread, saying , Where is it ? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
24Raihaih hoi palungboenghaih mah anih to tasoehsak moe, siangpahrang mah misatuk han amsakcoek baktih toengah, raihaih hoi palungboenghaih mah anih to pazawk.
24Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
25Anih mah Sithaw to ban payangh thuih moe, Thacak Sithaw ih lok aek hanah tha pathok.
25For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
26Kathah parai misa angvaenghaih aphawnawk to angkhuk moe, Sithaw to a hmang;
26He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
27anih ih mikhmai loe thawk hruk moe, a kaeng ih ngan doeh tasa bangah tacawt dok.
27Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.
28Anih loe kamro tangcae vangpuinawk, mi mah doeh om haih ai ih, kamtimh tom imnawk ah ni khosak.
28And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
29Anih loe angraeng thai mak ai, anih angraenghaih doeh cak mak ai; long nui khosak naah a tawnh ih hmuennawk doeh pung mak ai.
29He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.
30Anih loe vinghaih thung hoi loih thai mak ai; anih ih tanghangnawk loe hmai mah kang ueloe, Sithaw pakha thung ih takhi mah hmut phaeng tih.
30He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
31Avang ai hmuen oephaih hoiah angmah hoi angmah to angling hmah nasoe, to tih ai nahaeloe avang ai atho to ni anih mah hnu tih.
31Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.
32Anih loe atue pha ai naah azaem ueloe, tanghang doeh tacawt mak ai boeh.
32It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
33Anih loe hmin ai naah pakhrik ving ih misurthaih baktih, apawk kangmuen olive thingkung baktiah ni om tih.
33He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
34Sithaw tidoeh sah ai kaminawk loe azaem o tih; bokhaih tangqum koeh kaminawk ih kahni im loe hmai mah kang tih.
34For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
35Nihcae loe raihaih to zok ah pomh o moe, tidoeh avang ai caa to tapen o; nihcae ih zok loe alinghaih to ni pomh o, tiah a naa.
35They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
