Job 29
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Job mah a thuih ih patahhaih lok to patomh poe;
1Job also added, taking up his parable, and said:
2aw kai loe kalaem tangcae khrah, Sithaw mah khetzawnhaih ni thuem ih baktiah om let nasoe;
2Who will grant me, that I might be according to the months past, according to the days in which God kept me?
3ka lu nuiah angmah ih hmaithawk to paang moe, anih aanghaih hoiah khoving thungah kam kaeh;
3When his lamp shined over my head, and I walked by his light in darkness?
4ka qoengh li nathuem ih aninawk baktih, ka im ah Sithaw angkomhaih oh nathuem ih aninawk baktiah om let nasoe;
4As I was in the days of my youth, when God was secretly in my tabernacle?
5lensawk Sithaw kai khaeah oh moe, ka caanawk hoi nawnto oh o;
5When the Almighty was with me: and my servants round about me?
6maitaw tahnutui hoiah khok to ka pasaeh, thlung thung hoiah situi to tui baktiah long;
6When I washed my feet with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil?
7vangpui khongkha ah ka caeh moe, lampui ah kang hnut,
7When I went out to the gate of the city, and in the street they prepared me a chair?
8thendoengnawk mah kai ang hnuk o naah, anghawk o ving; mitongnawk loe angthawk o moe, angdoet o.
8The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the old men rose up and stood.
9Angraengnawk loe lokthui o ai, pakha to ban hoiah tamuep o.
9The princes ceased to speak, and laid the finger on their mouth.
10Toksah angraengnawk doeh lok apae o ai, palai to angsumh o.
10The rulers held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to their throat.
11Naa mah ka lok thaih naah, kai han tahamhoihaih ang paek; mik mah kai hnuk naah, kai hnukung ah oh;
11The ear that heard me blessed me, and the eye that saw me gave witness to me:
12tipongah tih nahaeloe amtang kami, amno ampa tawn ai kami, bomkung tawn ai kami hang naah ka bomh pongah ni.
12Because I had delivered the poor man that cried out; and the fatherless that had no helper.
13Kadueh tom kami mah tahamhoihaih ang paek moe, lamhmai to anghoehaih laasak hanah palung kang hoesak.
13The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me, and I comforted the heart of the widow.
14Toenghaih to khukbuen ah kang khuk, ka toenghaih loe kahni baktih, lumuek baktiah oh.
14I was clad with justice: and I clothed myself with my judgment, as with a robe and a diadem.
15Mikmaengnawk hanah mik ah ka oh moe, khokkhaem kaminawk hanah khok ah ka oh.
15I was an eye to the blind, and a foot to the lame.
16Amtang kaminawk hanah ampa ah ka oh moe, angvinnawk ih lok ka tahngaih pae.
16I was the father of the poor: and the cause which I knew not, I searched out most diligently.
17Kasae kaminawk ih ano to ka khaeh pae moe, anih mah kaek ih kaminawk to ka pahlong.
17I broke the jaws of the wicked man, and out of his teeth I took away the prey.
18To pacoengah, ka hinghaih aninawk loe savuet baktiah pop, kai loe kaimah ih im ah ni ka dueh tih.
18And I said: I shall die in my nest, and as a palm tree shall multiply my days.
19Kai ih tangzun loe tui taengah pha ueloe, aqum puek ka tanghang nuiah dantui angbuem tih.
19My root is opened beside the waters, and dew shall continue in my harvest.
20Ka lensawkhaih loe cak poe ueloe, ka ban ih kalii doeh tha om let tih.
20My glory shall always be renewed, and my bow in my hand shall be repaired.
21Kaminawk mah ka lok to tahngaih o, ka thuih ih lok to aek o ai.
21They that heard me, waited for my sentence, and being attentive held their peace at my counsel.
22Lok ka thuih pacoengah, mi doeh lok apae o ai boeh; ka thuih ih lok loe nihcae nuiah tui baktiah ca.
22To my words they durst add nothing, and my speech dropped upon them.
23Nihcae mah khotui zing o baktih toengah kai to ang zing o, hnukkhuem ih khotui kazing baktiah pakha to kalen ah a angh o.
23They waited for me as for rain, and they opened their mouth as for a latter shower.
24Nihcae ka pahnui thuih naah, nihcae mah tang o ai; ka mikhmai aanghaih to a hnuk o naah, ka mikhmai aanghaih to anghmaa o sak thai ai.
24If at any time I laughed on them, they believed not, and the light of my countenance fell not on earth.
25Nihcae ih loklam to ka qoih moe, kahoih koek ahmuen ah kang hnut, palungsae kami pathloepkung baktih, misatuh kaminawk salak ih siangpahrang baktiah kang hnut, tiah ka thuih.
25If I had a mind to go to them, I sat first, and when I sat as a king, with his army standing about him, yet I was a comforter of them that mourned.
