Job 19
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1To pacoengah Job mah,
1Then Job answered and said:
2kai poek nang patang o sak, nasetto maw lok hoiah nang pacaekthlaek o han vop?
2How long will ye vex my soul, and crush me with words?
3Vai hato nang zoeh o boeh; azathaih tawn ai ah panoek vai ai ih kami baktiah nang zoeh o.
3These ten times have ye reproached me; ye are not ashamed that ye deal harshly with me.
4Sakpazaehaih ka tawnh cadoeh, ka sakpazaehaih loe kaimah nuiah ni krak.
4And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
5Nangcae loe kai ni nam oek o thuih, a sak ih zaehaih pongah ni azathaih hoiah oh, tiah nang naa o:
5If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach;
6toe kai loe Sithaw mah ni amtimsak moe, anih ih thaang pongah ka manh, tito panoek oh.
6Know now that God hath subverted my cause, and hath compassed me with His net.
7Khenah, ka sakpazaehaih thung hoiah ka hang; mi mah doeh tahngai ai; tha hoi ka hangh, toe toenghaih hoiah lokcaek kami om ai.
7Behold, I cry out: 'Violence!' but I am not heard; I cry aloud, but there is no justice.
8Anih mah ka poeng thaih han ai ah ka caehhaih loklam to pakaa khoep, anih mah ka caehhaih loklam ah vinghaih to suek.
8He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and hath set darkness in my paths.
9Ka lensawkhaih to anih mah ang khringh pae moe, ka lu nui ih lumuek to ang lak pae ving.
9He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
10Anih mah ahmuen kruek hoi ang boh pongah, kam ro boeh; anih mah ka oephaih to thing baktiah ang phongh pae ving.
10He hath broken me down on every side, and I am gone; and my hope hath He plucked up like a tree.
11Anih ih palung kabae to kai khaeah ang palai moe, kai hae a misa ah ang poek.
11He hath also kindled His wrath against me, and He counteth me unto Him as one of His adversaries.
12Anih ih misatuh kaminawk loe, kai tuk hanah nawnto angzoh o moe, kai ih kahni im taeng boih ah atai o.
12His troops come on together, and cast up their way against me, and encamp round about my tent.
13Kam nawkamyanawk to kai khae hoi kangthla ah a ohsak moe, kam puinawk doeh panoek vai ai ih kami baktiah ni oh o.
13He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me.
14Ka canawknawk mah ang pahnawt o moe, kam puinawk mah ang pahnet o boeh.
14My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
15Ka tamna nongpatanawk hoi ka imthung takohnawk mah angvin baktih, prae kalah kami baktiah ang khet o.
15They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger; I am become an alien in their sight.
16Ka tamna to ka kawk naah, na pathim ai; tahmenhaih ka hnik cadoeh, na pathim ai boeh.
16I call unto my servant, and he giveth me no answer, though I entreat him with my mouth.
17Kang hahhaih takhi loe ka zu koeh koiah om ai, ka caanawk hanah panuet thok hmuen ah oh boeh.
17My breath is abhorred of my wife, and I am loathsome to the children of my tribe.
18Ue, nawktanawk mah ang patoek o, kang thawk tahang naah, ang pahnui o thuih.
18Even urchins despised me; if I arise, they speak against me.
19Kam puinawk mah ang panuet o moe, ka palung ih kaminawk doeh ka misa ah angcoeng o ving boeh.
19All my intimate friends abhor me; and they whom I loved are turned against me.
20Ka huh loe nganhin hoi angbet rap boeh moe, ka haa doeh angkhringh boeh.
20My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
21Aw kam puinawk, na tahmen oh, na tahmen oh; Sithaw mah ni ang boh.
21Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
22Tipongah Sithaw pacaekthlaek baktiah kai nang pacaekthlaek o loe? Kai ih angan hoiah zok nam hah o ai vop maw?
22Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23Aw, ka loknawk hae pakuem o nasoe loe, nihcae mah cabu ah pathok o nasoe.
23Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
24Sum cacung hoiah tarik o nasoe loe, thlung nuiah dungzan ah tarik o poe nasoe!
24That with an iron pen and lead they were graven in the rock for ever!
25Kai akrangkung loe hing, tiah ka panoek; anih loe hnukkhuem atue boeng naah long ah angdoe tih;
25But as for me, I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He will witness at the last upon the dust;
26ka nganhin amro moe, hae takpum hae amro ving cadoeh, ka taksa hoiah Sithaw to ka hnu vop tih;
26And when after my skin this is destroyed, then without my flesh shall I see God;
27anih to ka hnu tih; minawk mah hnuk ih na ai, kaimah roe mik hoiah ka hnu tih; ka palungthin mah zing kong boeh.
27Whom I, even I, shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another's. My reins are consumed within me.
28Nangcae mah, anih hae kawbangmaw pacaekthlaek han, anih zae nethaih kawbangmaw hnuk thai han? tiah na thuih o,
28If ye say: 'How we will persecute him!' seeing that the root of the matter is found in me;
29sumsen to na zit o han oh, Sithaw palungphuihaih mah sumsen hoi danpaekhaih to tacawtsak, lokcaekhaih atue oh, tiah panoek oh, tiah a naa.
29Be ye afraid of the sword; for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
