Job 27
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Job mah a thuih ih patahhaih lok to thuih patomh poe;
1Job continued his discourse:
2ka toenghaih ang lak pae ving; ka hinghaih patangkhangsak, Thacak Sithaw loe hing pongah,
2“As surely as God lives, who has deprived me of justice— the Almighty, who has embittered my soul—
3ka hinghaih takhi ka takpum thungah oh nathung, Sithaw ih takhi ka hnaqong thungah oh nathung,
3as long as my breath is still within me and the breath of God remains in my nostrils,
4ka pahni mah kahoih ai hmuen to thui mak ai, ka palai mah alinghaih lok thui mak ai.
4my lips will not speak wickedness, and my tongue will not utter deceit.
5Nang loe na toeng tiah, thuih han ih lok to Sithaw mah pakaa nasoe; ka duek khoek to ka toenghaih ka pahnawt sut mak ai.
5I will never say that you are right; I will maintain my integrity until I die.
6Ka toenghaih to kacakah ka patawnh, ka prawt ving mak ai; ka hing thung ka palung mah kai hae kasae thui mak ai.
6I will cling to my righteousness and never let go. As long as I live, my conscience will not accuse me.
7Ka misanawk loe kasae kami ah om o nasoe loe, kai tuk han angthawk kaminawk loe katoeng ai kami ah om o nasoe.
7May my enemy be like the wicked and my opponent like the unjust.
8Angsah cop kami loe duek moe, Sithaw mah a hinghaih lak pae ving naah, oephaih timaw tawn vop tih?
8For what is the hope of the godless when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
9Anih nuiah raihaih phak naah, Sithaw mah anih qahhaih lok to tahngai pae maw?
9Will God hear his cry when distress comes upon him?
10Anih loe Thacak Sithaw khaeah anghoe thai tih maw? Anih mah Sithaw to kawk khing tih maw?
10Will he delight in the Almighty? Will he call upon God at all times?
11Sithaw thacakhaih to kang patuek han; Thacak Sithaw poekhaih thuih hanah kang phat mak ai.
11I will instruct you in the power of God. I will not conceal the ways of the Almighty.
12Khenah, nangmacae mah roe na hnuk o boeh; tipongah kavang ai lok to na thuih o loe?
12Surely all of you have seen it for yourselves. Why then do you keep up this empty talk?
13Sithaw mah kasae kami han paek ih taham, kasae kami mah Thacak Sithaw khae hoi hnuk han koi qawk loe hae tiah oh;
13This is the wicked man’s portion from God— the heritage the ruthless receive from the Almighty.
14anih ih caanawk loe pop o parai cadoeh, sumsen hoi hum han ih ni oh o; anih ih caa patoeng kaminawk doeh caaknaek kakhawt ah tawn o mak ai.
14Though his sons are many, they are destined for the sword; and his offspring will never have enough food.
15Kahing kanghmat kaminawk loe duekhaih mah muek tih; a zu lamhmainawk loe qah o thai mak ai.
15His survivors will be buried by the plague, and their widows will not weep for them.
16Anih mah sumkanglung to maiphu baktiah tapop moe, khukbuennawk to tangphrung long baktiah sah langlacadoeh,
16Though he heaps up silver like dust and piles up a wardrobe like clay,
17a tawnh ih hmuen to katoeng kami mah ni angkhuk tih, zaehaih tawn ai kami mah phoisa to pazet tih.
17what he lays up, the righteous will wear, and his silver will be divided by the innocent.
18A sak ih im doeh bongpaha tabu baktiah om ueloe, misa toephaih im baktiah ni om tih.
18The house he built is like a moth’s cocoon, like a hut set up by a watchman.
19Hmuenmae angraeng kami iih han angsong naah loe, hmuennawk tawn mang let mak ai boeh; anih mah mik padai naah, hmuenmaenawk anghmat o boih.
19He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more; when he opens his eyes, all is gone.
20Zitthok hmuen mah anih to tuipui baktiah uem ueloe, khoving ah takhi sae mah hmut boih tih.
20Terrors overtake him like a flood; a tempest sweeps him away in the night.
21Ni angyae bang ih takhi mah anih to hmuh moe, anghmat ving; a ohhaih ahmuen hoiah kaham takhi sae mah hmuh ving.
21The east wind carries him away, and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.
22Anih loe Sithaw ih ban thung hoiah loih han koeh, toe Sithaw mah tahmenhaih tawn ai ah anih to danpaek tih.
22It hurls itself against him without mercy as he flees headlong from its power.
23To naah kaminawk mah ban tabaeng o thui tih, anih kawng kasae thui o ueloe, a ohhaih ahmuen hoiah haek o ving tih.
23It claps its hands at him and hisses him out of his place.
