Job 16
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1To naah Job mah,
1Then Job answered and said:
2to baktih loknawk ka thaih pop parai boeh; pathloephaih lok nang thuih o, toe poek amrosakkung ah ni na oh o boih.
2I have heard many such things; sorry comforters are ye all.
3Avang ai loknawk to boeng thai ai boeh maw? Tipongah maw lok pathim hanah misa na hoih o?
3Shall windy words have an end? Or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?
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 also could speak as ye do; if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could join words together 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.
5I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips would assuage your grief.
6Lok ka thuih cadoeh, ka nathaih hoihkhang ai; lokthui ai ah ka pauep cadoeh, hoih kuehaih om ai.
6Though I speak, my pain is not assuaged; and though I forbear, what am I eased?
7Toe vaihi loe Anih mah kai angphosak boeh; ka imthung takoh boih nam rosak boeh.
7But now He hath made me weary; Thou hast made desolate all my company.
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.
8And Thou hast shrivelled me up, which is a witness against me; and my leanness riseth up against me, it testifieth to my face.
9Sithaw palungbethaih mah kai hae angsih pet pet moe, ang pacaekthlaek; haa ang kaek thuih; ka misa mah miktamai hoiah ang khet.
9He hath torn me in His wrath, and hated me; He hath gnashed upon me with His teeth; mine adversary sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
10Nihcae mah pakha ang angh o thuih; nihcae loe nawnto amkhueng o moe, khet patoekhaih hoiah tangbaeng ah ang tabaeng o.
10They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek scornfully; they gather themselves together against me.
11Anih mah Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk ban ah ang paek moe, kahoih ai kaminawk ban ah ang vah.
11God delivereth me to the ungodly, and casteth me into the hands 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, and He broke me asunder; yea, He hath taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces; He hath also set me up for His mark.
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 compass me round about, He cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; He poureth out my gall upon the ground.
14Anih mah ahmaa maeto pacoeng maeto angsihsak moe, misatuh kami baktiah tha hoiah ang hmang.
14He breaketh me with breach upon breach; He runneth upon me like a giant.
15Ka nganhin nuiah kazii to ka huih moe, kaimah ih taki to maiphu thungah ka phum.
15I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and have laid my horn in the dust.
16Ka qah loiah ka mikhmai hae amro moe, ka miklakoek nuiah duekhaih to oh;
16My face is reddened with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
17toe ka ban ah sethaih hmuen tidoeh om ai; lawk ka thuihaih loe ciim.
17Although there is no violence in my hands, 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, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no resting-place.
19Khenah, vaihi kai hnukung van ah oh, kai angdoe haih kami doeh hmuensang ah oh.
19Even now, behold, my Witness is in heaven, and He that testifieth of me is on high.
20Kam puinawk mah ang pahnui o thuih, kai loe mikkhraetui hoiah ni Sithaw hmaa ah ka oh.
20Mine inward thoughts are my intercessors, mine eye poureth out tears unto God;
21Kami maeto mah ampui han tahmenhaih hnik pae baktih toengah, kami maeto mah Sithaw khaeah tahmenhaih na hni pae nahaeloe ka koeh.
21That He would set aright a man contending with God, as a son of man setteth aright his neighbour!
22Saning akra ai ah, amlaem let han ai ih loklam to ka pazui han boeh.
22For the years that are few are coming on, and I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
