Job 20
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1To naah Naamath acaeng Zophar mah;
1Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said:
2ka pathim hanah, ka palung thungah toksak pongah, karangah ka thuih han.
2Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me, even by reason of mine agitation that is in me.
3Kai kasae na thuihaih hoi zoehhaih lok to ka thaih boeh, to pongah pathim han angaih, tiah palung thung hoi ka panoek.
3I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame, but out of my understanding my spirit answereth me.
4Long ah kami oh tangsuekhaih atue, canghnii atue hoi kaom hae baktih hmuen hae na panoek ai maw?
4Knowest thou not this of old time, since man was placed upon earth,
5Kasae kami khosak hoihaih loe sawk ai, Sithaw tidoeh sah ai kami anghoehaih doeh nawnetta ah ni oh.
5That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the godless but for a moment?
6A lensawkhaih mah van to phak moe, a lu mah tamai angtok cadoeh,
6Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;
7anih loe angmah ih aek baktiah ni amro poe tih, anih hnu kaminawk mah, Anih loe naa ah maw oh ving boeh? tiah thui o tih.
7Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung; they that have seen him shall say: 'Where is he?'
8Anih loe amang baktiah azawk ving tih, hnu mak ai boeh; ue, khoving amang ah hnuk ih hmuen baktiah anghmaa ving tih.
8He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found; yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
9Anih hnu mik mah anih to hnu let mak ai boeh; a ohhaih ahmuen mah doeh anih to khen mak ai boeh.
9The eye which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
10A caanawk loe amtang kaminawk khaeah tahmenhaih hni o ueloe, a tawnh o ih hmuenmae to a ban hoiah paek pathok o let tih.
10His children shall appease the poor, and his hands shall restore his wealth.
11Anih ih huhongnawk loe thendoeng thacak nathuem ih zaehaih hoiah koi cadoeh, angmah hoi nawnto maiphu thungah angsong tih.
11His bones are full of his youth, but it shall lie down with him in the dust.
12Sethaih loe anih ih pakha ah luep, anih mah angmah ih palai tlim ah hawk moe,
12Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
13paawt pongah pahnawt sut han koeh ai, angmah ih pakha thungah paumh hmoek cadoeh,
13Though he spare it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within his mouth;
14a caak ih buh zok thungah phak naah thaw ueloe, pahui sae ih kasoetui ah angcoeng pae tih.
14Yet his food in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.
15Anih mah paaeh ih angraenghaihnawk to pathaak let ueloe, Sithaw mah anih ih zok thung hoiah la let tih.
15He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again; God shall cast them out of his belly.
16Anih loe pahui sae ih kasoetui to pazop ueloe, pahui sae mah anih to patuk maat tih.
16He shall suck the poison of asps; the viper's tongue shall slay him.
17Anih loe kalong tuipui, khoitui hoi kamkhawk tahnutui longhaih tui to hnu mak ai.
17He shall not look upon the rivers, the flowing streams of honey and curd.
18A toksakhaih atho to caa mak ai, minawk hanah paek let tih; to tiah a paek let pongah anih loe anghoehaih tawn mak ai.
18That which he laboured for shall he give back, and shall not swallow it down; according to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice.
19Anih mah kamtang kaminawk to pacaekthlaek moe, tiah doeh sah ai; angmah sak ai ih imnawk to a lomh pae pongah to tiah oh.
19For he hath oppressed and forsaken the poor; he hath violently taken away a house, and he shall not build it up.
20Anih loe koehhaih boep thai ai; a koeh ih hmuen mah anih pahlong thai mak ai.
20Because he knew no quietness within him, in his greed he suffered nought to escape,
21Anih mah caak han ih buh tidoeh om mak ai boeh; a tawnh ih angraenghaih hmuen doeh cak poe mak ai.
21There was nothing left that he devoured not — therefore his prosperity shall not endure.
22Hmuenmae angraeng nathuem ah amtang ueloe, a nuiah raihaih congca to pha tih.
22In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits; the hand of every one that is in misery shall come upon him.
23Anih zok amhah han oh naah, Sithaw mah palungphuihaih to a nuiah phasak ueloe, buhcaak nathuem ah palungphuihaih khotui baktiah angzo tih.
23It shall be for the filling of his belly; He shall cast the fierceness of His wrath upon him, and shall cause it to rain upon him into his flesh.
24Anih loe sum hoi sak ih maiphaw maica thung hoiah loih; toe sumkamling palaa mah anih to kaat tih.
24If he flee from the iron weapon, the bow of brass shall strike him through.
25Anih loe a takpum thung hoi tacawt, palaa to aphongh; ue, anih ih ahmuet thung hoiah rong kampha sumsen to tacawt; a nuiah zithaih to phak;
25He draweth it forth, and it cometh out of his body; yea, the glittering point cometh out of his gall; terrors are upon him.
26anih tamquta hoi ohhaih ahmuen ah khovinghaih to suek pae; anih loe kami mah hmuh ai ih hmai mah kang tih; a ohhaih kahni im ah kaom hmuennawk boih to kangh pae tih.
26All darkness is laid up for his treasures; a fire not blown by man shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tent.
27Van mah anih sakpazaehaih amtuengsak tih, long mah doeh anih han misa angthawk thui tih.
27The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and the earth shall rise up against him.
28A im ih hmuenmaenawk to anghmaa tih, Angraeng palungphuihaih niah loe anih khosak hoihaih to tui baktiah long tih.
28The increase of his house shall depart, his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
29Sithaw mah to baktih tangqum to kasae kaminawk hanah paek, Sitawh mah to baktih qawktoep hanah anih to suek, tiah a naa.
29This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
