Job 24
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Tipongah Thacak Sithaw mah lokcaekhaih atue to khaek ai loe? Anih panoek kaminawk mah anih lokcaekhaih ani to panoek o ai maw?
1Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?
2Thoemto kaminawk loe ramri to tahruet o; minawk ih tuunawk to a lomh pae o moe, angmacae hanah pacah o.
2Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof .
3Naqahnawk ih laa hrang to huih pae o ving moe, lamhmai ih maitaw tae to paawng ih hmuen baktiah lak pae o ving.
3They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
4Caaknaek tawn ai kaminawk to loklam amkhraeng o sak, long ah kaom amtang kaminawk loe nawnto anghawk o.
4They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
5Khenah, amtang kaminawk loe toksak hanah taw ih laa hrangnawk baktiah a caeh o; khawnthaw ah caeh o moe, angmacae hoi a caanawk hanah taw ah caaknaek pakrong o.
5Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.
6Nihcae loe lawk ah cang aah o moe, kahoih ai kaminawk ih misur thaih to pakhrik pae o.
6They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
7Nihcae loe khukbuen tawn o ai, bangkrai ah iih o; angqai naah angkhuk hanah tawn o ai.
7They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.
8Mae ih khotui mah nihcae to bawh moe, abuephaih tawn o ai pongah, lungsong to takop o.
8They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
9Amno ih tahnutui kanae ampa tawn ai nawkta to a lak pae o, amtang kaminawk to hmuenmae paawng o sak.
9They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
10Nihcae to khukbuen tawn ai bangkrai ah caeh o sak moe, zok amthlam kami ih cangqui to lomh pae o ving;
10They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
11nihcae loe lawk ah olive tui pasawh o, misurtui doeh pasawh o; toe tui anghaehhaih hoiah patangkhang o.
11Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
12Vangpui thung hoiah kaminawk hanghaih lok to tacawt, ahmaa kacaa kaminawk loe tahmen hnikhaih hoiah hangh o; toe nihcae tahmen hnikhaih to Sithaw mah tidoeh sah pae ai.
12Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them .
13Nihcae loe aanghaih lokaek kaminawk ah oh o; nihcae loe aanghaih loklam to panoek o ai, to loklam doeh pazui o ai.
13They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
14Kami humnawk loe khawnthaw ah angthawk o moe, caaknaek tawn ai kami hoi amtang kaminawk to hum o pacoengah, aqum ah hmuenmae to paquk o.
14The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
15Zu sava laep ah zaehaih sak koeh kami loe khoving to a zing kongh, a mikhmai to khuk khoep, mi mah doeh na hnu mak ai, tiah a poek.
15The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.
16Nihcae loe khoving ah minawk ih im to muk o, khodai ah loe imthung ah anghawk o; aanghaih to panoek o ai.
16In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.
17Khoving loe nihcae ih ampui ah oh pongah, khodai loe nihcae han duekhaih tahlip ah oh pae lat.
17For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
18To baktih kahoih ai kaminawk loe tui nui ih kakhoem tui apoep baktiah ni oh o; long tahamsethaih loe nihcae ih taham ah oh; to pongah misur takha caehhaih lam taengah mi doeh caeh ai boeh.
18He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.
19Ni kabae hoi khokhaahaih mah dantui amkawsak baktih toengah, taprong mah kazae kaminawk to amrosak.
19Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned.
20Zok mah anih to pahnet ueloe, sadong mah anih to rawkcak kahoih ah caa tih; anih to mi mah doeh panoek mak ai boeh; sethaih loe thing baktiah hmawn tih boeh.
20The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.
21Kahoih ai kami loe caa kaak nongpata to pakrong, lamhmai tahmenhaih doeh tawn ai.
21He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.
22Thacak kami to Sithaw mah a thacakhaih hoiah amrosak; nihcae thacak naah, kaminawk khosak monghaih tawn o ai.
22He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.
23Sithaw mah anih to kamongah omsak doeh om tih; toe Angraeng mah a caehhaih loklam to khet parui pae.
23Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.
24Nawnetta thungah ni kasang ah pakoeh o, to pacoengah loe anghmat o boih; atlim ah zaeh tathuk moe, minawk kalah baktiah hinghaih to lak pae pacoengah, cangqui baktiah khaeh o.
24They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other , and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
25Vaihi hae tiah om ai nahaeloe, ka thuih ih lok loe amsawn ni, avanghaih tidoeh om ai, tiah mi mah maw amtuengsak thai tih? tiah a thuih.
25And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
