Job 18
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1To naah Shud acaeng Bildad mah,
1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
2hae tiah na thuih ih loknawk hae natuek naah maw boeng tih? Kahoih ah pakuem ah, lok ka thuih o han vop.
2“How long until you end these speeches? Show some sense, and then we can talk.
3Tipongah kaicae hae moisan baktih, kamthu baktiah na poek loe?
3Why are we regarded as cattle, as stupid in your sight?
4Palungphui moe, angmah hoi angmah ngan angsik, nang pongah, long hae anghuen tih maw? Thlung loe a ohhaih ahmuen hoiah angthui tih maw?
4You who tear yourself in anger— should the earth be forsaken on your account, or the rocks be moved from their place?
5Ue, kasae kami ih hmaithaw loe dueh tih, kangqong anih ih hmai doeh aang mak ai.
5Indeed, the lamp of the wicked is extinguished; the flame of his fire does not glow.
6Anih kahni im ih hmai to aang han ai ah, anih ih hmaithawk to paduek pae ving tih.
6The light in his tent grows dark, and the lamp beside him goes out.
7Anih thacakhaih khok tangkannawk loe tamcaek tih; angmah koeh ah khokhanhaih mah anih to amtimsak tih.
7His vigorous stride is shortened, and his own schemes trip him up.
8Anih ih khok loe palok pongah aman moe, thaang to cawh.
8For his own feet lead him into a net, and he wanders into its mesh.
9Anih ih khok thaang pongah aman moe, loih thai ai ah asawt khing.
9A trap seizes his heel; a snare grips him.
10Anih hanah long thungah qumqaih pae moe, a caehhaih loklam ah thaang to patung pae.
10A noose is hidden in the ground, and a trap lies in his path.
11Zitthok hmuen mah caeh nakung kruekah anih to tasoehsak; a khok takan kruek anih hnukah bang pae.
11Terrors frighten him on every side and harass his every step.
12Anih loe zok amthlam pongah thazok, amrohaih mah anih to zing coek.
12His strength is depleted, and calamity is ready at his side.
13To amrohaih mah a nganhin ahap to caak pae, calu duekhaih mah a thacakhaih to paaeh pae ving tih.
13It devours patches of his skin; the firstborn of death devours his limbs.
14Anih to kamongah ohhaih kahni imthung hoiah pathok ueloe, zitthok siangpahrang hmaa ah caeh haih tih.
14He is torn from the shelter of his tent and is marched off to the king of terrors.
15A ohhaih ahmuen ah anih ih hmuen tidoeh anghmat mak ai; a ohhaih ahmuen ah kaat hmai to haeh pae tih.
15Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur rains down on his dwelling.
16Anih ih tangzuunnawk loe long thungah zaek o moe, a nui ih tanghangnawk doeh angqo o.
16The roots beneath him dry up, and the branches above him wither away.
17Anih panoekhaih loe long ah anghmat moe, prae thungah ahmin om ai boeh.
17The memory of him perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the land.
18Aanghaih thung hoiah vinghaih thungah anih to haek boeh moe, long nui hoiah haek ving boeh.
18He is driven from light into darkness and is chased from the inhabited world.
19Anih loe angmah ih kaminawk salakah capa tawn ai, a caanawk ih caa patoeng doeh tawn mak ai, a imthung takoh ah mi doeh anghmat mak ai.
19He has no offspring or posterity among his people, no survivor where he once lived.
20Ni angyae bang ih kaminawk loe tasoeh o baktih toengah, niduem bangah kaom kaminawk doeh anih kawng pongah dawnrai o.
20Those in the west are appalled at his fate, while those in the east tremble in horror.
21Kasae kami khosakhaih loe to tiah oh, Sithaw panoek ai kami ohhaih ahmuen doeh to tiah oh tangtang, tiah pathim pae.
21Surely such is the dwelling of the wicked and the place of one who does not know God.”
