Job 28
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Sumkanglung takaehhaih ahmuen to oh moe, sui tui paciihaih ahmuen doeh oh tangtang.
1Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it .
2Sum loe long thung hoiah takaeh moe, sumkamling loe thlung atui pacii naah ni oh.
2Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.
3Kami mah hmaiim to sin moe, sum tacawthaih ahmuen kathuk, duekhaih tahlip khoving thungah sum to pakrong.
3He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
4Kami ohhaih ahmuen hoi kangthla, panoek ai ih ahmuen ah, qui hoiah angbangh moe, long to takaeh.
4The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.
5Long mah caaknaek to tacawtsak, toe atlim ah loe hmai to oh.
5As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.
6To ah kaom thlungnawk loe Sapphire thlung tacawthaih ahmuen ah oh moe, maiphu doeh sui tacawthaih maiphu ah oh.
6The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.
7Tavaa mah panoek ai ih, tahmu mah doeh hnu ai ih, loklam to oh;
7There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture’s eye hath not seen:
8to loklam loe kaipui mah cawh ai moe, hmawsaeng kaipui mah doeh pazui vai ai vop.
8The lion’s whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.
9Kami mah ban hoiah thlung to pakhoih moe, maenawk to takung khoek to takaeh boih.
9He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.
10Thlung to pakhoih moe, athung ah kaom atho kana hmuennawk to a hnuk.
10He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.
11Kalong tui to pakaa moe, hnuk ai ih hmuennawk to a lak.
11He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.
12Toe palunghahaih loe naa ah maw hnu thai tih? Palunghahaih ahmuen loe naa ah maw oh?
12But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
13Palunghahaih atho nazetto maw oh, tito kami mah panoek thai ai; kahing kaminawk ohhaih prae ah doeh hnu thai ai.
13Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
14Kathuk tui mah, Kai thungah om ai; tuipui mah doeh kai khaeah om ai, tiah thuih.
14The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
15Kaciim suitui hoiah palunghahaih to qan thai ai moe, phoisa to noek moe, paek cadoeh, palunghahaih to qan thai ai.
15It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
16Ophir ih sui hoiah doeh qan thai ai moe, atho kaom onyx hoi sapphire mah doeh qan thai ai.
16It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
17Palunghahaih loe sui, atho kaom kawbaktih thlung hoiah doeh patah thai ai; kaciim suitui hoiah doeh alaih thai mak ai.
17The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
18Koral hoi pale loe thuih han koi om ai; palunghahaih atho loe thlung kathim pongah doeh atho oh kue.
18No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
19Ethiopia ih Topaz thlung hoiah patah thai ai moe, kaciim suitui hoiah doeh qan thai ai.
19The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
20To tih nahaeloe palunghahaih loe naa bang hoiah maw angzoh? Panoekthaihaih ahmuen loe naa ah maw oh?
20Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
21Palunghahaih loe hinghaih katawn hmuennawk boih ih mik hoiah hnu thai ai, van ih tavaanawk mah doeh hnu thai ai.
21Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
22Amrohaih hoi duekhaih hnik mah loe, Palunghahaih lok to naa hoi khue ni ka thaih, tiah a thuih hoi.
22Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
23Sithaw mah khue ni palunghahaih loklam to panoek moe, a ohhaih ahmuen to panoek.
23God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
24Anih loe long boenghaih to khet moe, van tlim ih hmuennawk boih to a hnuk.
24For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;
25Takhi thacakhaih to a noek moe, tuinawk to a tah.
25To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
26Kho angzohhaih dan hoi khopazih tangphra puekhaih loklam to a sak naah,
26When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
27palunghahaih to a hnuk moe, amtuengsak; ue, anih mah caksak moe, a sak tanoek.
27Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
28Anih mah kami khaeah, Khenah, Angraeng zithaih loe, palunghahaih ah oh; kasae caeh taakhaih loe, panoekthaihaih ah oh, tiah a naa.
28And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
