Job 22
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1To naah Teman acaeng Eliphaz mah,
1Then Eliphaz the Themanite answered, and said:
2palungha kami loe angmah han ih ni atho oh, kami loe Sithaw han amekhaih oh maw?
2Can man be compared with God, even though he were of perfect knowledge?
3Na toenghaih mah Thacak Sithaw anghoesak tih maw? Coek koi om ai tuinuen hoihaih rang hoiah anih han tih amekhaih maw oh?
3What doth it profit God if thou be just? or what dost thou give him if thy way be unspotted?
4Sithaw ka zit pongah anih mah ang thuitaek, tiah na poek maw? Anih loe lokcaekhaih ahmuen ah nang hoi nawnto caeh tih maw?
4Shall he reprove thee for fear, and come with thee into judgment:
5Na zaehaih loe paroeai len, na zaehaih loe kroek laek ai pop pongah na ai maw hae tiah na oh?
5And not for thy manifold wickedness, and thy infinite iniquities?
6Nang loe nam nawkamyanawk ih hmuenmae to na lak pae, nihcae ih khukbuen to na khringh pae moe, bangkrai ah na suek.
6For thou hast taken away the pledge of thy brethren without cause, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
7Angpho kami tuinaek hanah na paek ai, zok amthlam kami doeh buh na pacah ai.
7Thou hast not given water to the weary, thou hast withdrawn bread from the hungry.
8Thacak kami loe long to a tawnh; khingya koi kaom kami loe to ah khosak.
8In the strength of thy arm thou didst possess the land, and being the most mighty thou holdest it.
9Toe lamhmainawk to bangkrai ah na patoeh ving moe, ampa tawn ai kaminawk ih ban to nang khaehsak.
9Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless thou hast broken in pieces.
10To pongah ni nang loe thaangnawk mah ang takui o khoep moe, zithaih mah raihaih ang paek;
10Therefore art thou surrounded with snares, and sudden fear troubleth thee.
11to tih ai boeh loe na hnu thai ai ih, vinghaih mah raihaih ang paek moe, paroeai pop tuinawk mah ang uem.
11And didst thou think that thou shouldst not see darkness, and that thou shouldst not be covered with the violence of overflowing waters?
12Sithaw loe kasang van ah na ai maw oh? Van ih cakaehnawk loe nasetto maw sang o, tiah khen ah!
12Dost not thou think that God is higher than heaven, and is elevated above the height of the stars?
13Toe nang mah loe, Sithaw mah kawbangmaw panoek tih? Anih loe kathah tamai kamnum thung hoiah lokcaek thai tih maw?
13And thou sayst: What doth God know? and he judgeth as it were through a mist.
14Kathah parai tamai mah anih to khuk khoep pongah, anih mah hnu mak ai; anih loe van amhaehaih loklam ranui ah ni amkaeh, tiah na thuih.
14The clouds are his covert, and he doth not consider our things, and he walketh about the poles of heaven.
15Kasae kaminawk caehhaih loklam kangquem to na pazui han maw?
15Dost thou desire to keep the path of ages, which wicked men have trodden?
16Nihcae loe atue akoep ai naah amro o moe, nihcae angdoethaih ahmuen doeh tui mah lak pae king.
16Who were taken away before their time, and a flood hath overthrown their foundation.
17Nihcae mah Sithaw khaeah, Kaicae hae na caeh taak ah; Thacak Sithaw mah kaicae han timaw sah thai tang tih, tiah thuih o.
17Who said to God: Depart from us: and looked upon the Almighty as if he could do nothing:
18Sithaw mah kahoih hmuen hoiah nihcae ih im to koisak; toe kai loe kasae kaminawk ih poekhaih to kang qoi taak.
18Whereas he had filled their houses with good things: whose way of thinking be far from me.
19Nihcae amrohaih to katoeng kaminawk mah hnuk o naah, anghoe o; zaehaih tawn ai kaminawk mah nihcae to pahnui o thuih.
19The just shall see, and shall rejoice, and the innocent shall laugh them to scorn.
20Kaicae ih misanawk loe amro o tangtang boeh, kanghmat nihcae ih hmuennawk doeh hmai mah kangh boih boeh.
20Is not their exaltation cut down, and hath not fire devoured the remnants of them?
21Sithaw khae ang paek o ah loe, anih hoi angdaeh oh; to tiah na sak o nahaeloe nang khaeah khosak hoihaih angzo tih.
21Submit thyself then to him, and be at peace: and thereby thou shalt have the best fruits.
22Anih pakha thung hoi tacawt daan to talawk ah loe, anih ih lok to na palung thungah khrum ah.
22Receive the law of his mouth, and lay up his words in thy heart.
23Thacak Sithaw khaeah nam laem o nahaeloe, anih mah na raemh let tih; na ohhaih kahni imthung hoiah na sakpazaehaih to takhoe ving nahaeloe,
23If thou wilt return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, and shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacle.
24sui to maiphu baktih, Ophir ih sui to tuipui ih thlung baktiah na patung tih.
24He shall give for earth flint, and for flint torrents of gold.
25Ue, Thacak Sithaw loe nang ih sui ah om ueloe, atho kana sumkanglung paroeai na tawn tih.
25And the Almighty shall be against thy enemies, and silver shall be heaped together for thee.
26To tiah nahaeloe Thacak Sithaw pongah anghoehaih na tawn ueloe, Sithaw to na doeng tahang tih.
26Then shalt thou abound in delights in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face to God.
27Anih khaeah lawk na thuih naah, anih mah na tahngai pae tih; to tiah lokkamhaih to na koepsak tih.
27Thou shalt pray to him, and he will hear thee, and thou shalt pay vows.
28Na patoep ih hmuen to angcoeng ueloe, na caehhaih loklam to aang tih.
28Thou shalt decree a thing, and it I shall come to thee, and light shall shine in thy ways.
29Kaminawk pakhrak tathuk naah, nang loe pakoehhaih ah ka oh, tiah na thui tih; mi tlim ah khosah kami loe Sithaw mah pahlong tih.
29For he that hath been humbled, shall be in glory: and he that shall bow down his eyes, he shall be saved.
30Anih mah zaehaih tawn kami to pahlong tih; kaciim na ban hoiah anih to pahlong tih, tiah a naa.
30The innocent shall be saved, and he shall be saved by the cleanness of his hands.
