Job 16
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1To naah Job mah,
1Then Job answered:
2to baktih loknawk ka thaih pop parai boeh; pathloephaih lok nang thuih o, toe poek amrosakkung ah ni na oh o boih.
2“I have heard many things like these; miserable comforters are you all.
3Avang ai loknawk to boeng thai ai boeh maw? Tipongah maw lok pathim hanah misa na hoih o?
3Is there no end to your long-winded speeches? What provokes you to continue testifying?
4Kang doethaih ahmuen ah na oh o nahaeloe, na thuih o ih baktiah ka thuih thai toeng; lok hoi kang zoeh o thaih moe, lu kang haek o thuih thaih.
4I could also speak like you if you were in my place; I could heap up words against you and shake my head at you.
5Toe ka pahni hoi tacawt pathloephaih lok mah nangcae poek mongsak hanah, thapaekhaih lok ni kang thuih o han.
5But I would encourage you with my mouth, and the consolation of my lips would bring relief.
6Lok ka thuih cadoeh, ka nathaih hoihkhang ai; lokthui ai ah ka pauep cadoeh, hoih kuehaih om ai.
6Even if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I hold back, how will it go away?
7Toe vaihi loe Anih mah kai angphosak boeh; ka imthung takoh boih nam rosak boeh.
7Surely He has now exhausted me; You have devastated all my family.
8Ka nganhin loe angcu boih boeh, nganhin angcu loe kai hnukung ah oh; kai loe ka zaek keng boeh, ka nganhin zaekhaih loe kai hnukung ah oh hanah mikhmai kangtong ah angdoet tahang.
8You have bound me, and it has become a witness; my frailty rises up and testifies against me.
9Sithaw palungbethaih mah kai hae angsih pet pet moe, ang pacaekthlaek; haa ang kaek thuih; ka misa mah miktamai hoiah ang khet.
9His anger has torn me and opposed me; He gnashes His teeth at me. My adversary pierces me with His eyes.
10Nihcae mah pakha ang angh o thuih; nihcae loe nawnto amkhueng o moe, khet patoekhaih hoiah tangbaeng ah ang tabaeng o.
10They open their mouths against me and strike my cheeks with contempt; they join together against me.
11Anih mah Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk ban ah ang paek moe, kahoih ai kaminawk ban ah ang vah.
11God has delivered me to unjust men; He has thrown me to the clutches of the wicked.
12Kamongah ka oh naah, anih mah kai amrosak; tahnong ah ang patawnh moe, apet pat hanah ang thuek pacoengah, kah han patoep ih ahmuen maeto baktiah ang suek.
12I was at ease, but He shattered me; He seized me by the neck and crushed me. He has set me up as His target;
13Kalii kaat kop anih ih kaminawk mah kai ang takui o khoep moe, tahmenhaih tawn ai ah kaeng ah ang thun o; kai ih ahmuet tui to long ah ang kraih pae.
13His archers surround me. He pierces my kidneys without mercy and spills my gall on the ground.
14Anih mah ahmaa maeto pacoeng maeto angsihsak moe, misatuh kami baktiah tha hoiah ang hmang.
14He breaks me with wound upon wound; He rushes me like a mighty warrior.
15Ka nganhin nuiah kazii to ka huih moe, kaimah ih taki to maiphu thungah ka phum.
15I have sewn sackcloth over my skin; I have buried my horn in the dust.
16Ka qah loiah ka mikhmai hae amro moe, ka miklakoek nuiah duekhaih to oh;
16My face is red with weeping, and deep shadows ring my eyes;
17toe ka ban ah sethaih hmuen tidoeh om ai; lawk ka thuihaih loe ciim.
17yet my hands are free of violence and my prayer is pure.
18Aw long, kai ih athii hae kraeng hmah; ka hanghaih lok loe natuek naah doeh anghak hmah nasoe!
18O earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry for help never be laid to rest.
19Khenah, vaihi kai hnukung van ah oh, kai angdoe haih kami doeh hmuensang ah oh.
19Even now my witness is in heaven, and my advocate is on high.
20Kam puinawk mah ang pahnui o thuih, kai loe mikkhraetui hoiah ni Sithaw hmaa ah ka oh.
20My friends are my scoffers as my eyes pour out tears to God.
21Kami maeto mah ampui han tahmenhaih hnik pae baktih toengah, kami maeto mah Sithaw khaeah tahmenhaih na hni pae nahaeloe ka koeh.
21Oh, that a man might plead with God as he pleads with his neighbor!
22Saning akra ai ah, amlaem let han ai ih loklam to ka pazui han boeh.
22For when only a few years are past I will go the way of no return.
