Job 29
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Job mah a thuih ih patahhaih lok to patomh poe;
1Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
2aw kai loe kalaem tangcae khrah, Sithaw mah khetzawnhaih ni thuem ih baktiah om let nasoe;
2Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
3ka lu nuiah angmah ih hmaithawk to paang moe, anih aanghaih hoiah khoving thungah kam kaeh;
3When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through 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 the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
5lensawk Sithaw kai khaeah oh moe, ka caanawk hoi nawnto oh o;
5When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
6maitaw tahnutui hoiah khok to ka pasaeh, thlung thung hoiah situi to tui baktiah long;
6When I washed my steps 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 through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
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 aged arose, and stood up.
9Angraengnawk loe lokthui o ai, pakha to ban hoiah tamuep o.
9The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
10Toksah angraengnawk doeh lok apae o ai, palai to angsumh o.
10The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
11Naa mah ka lok thaih naah, kai han tahamhoihaih ang paek; mik mah kai hnuk naah, kai hnukung ah oh;
11When the ear heard me , then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me , it 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 delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
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 caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
14Toenghaih to khukbuen ah kang khuk, ka toenghaih loe kahni baktih, lumuek baktiah oh.
14I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
15Mikmaengnawk hanah mik ah ka oh moe, khokkhaem kaminawk hanah khok ah ka oh.
15I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
16Amtang kaminawk hanah ampa ah ka oh moe, angvinnawk ih lok ka tahngaih pae.
16I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
17Kasae kaminawk ih ano to ka khaeh pae moe, anih mah kaek ih kaminawk to ka pahlong.
17And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
18To pacoengah, ka hinghaih aninawk loe savuet baktiah pop, kai loe kaimah ih im ah ni ka dueh tih.
18Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
19Kai ih tangzun loe tui taengah pha ueloe, aqum puek ka tanghang nuiah dantui angbuem tih.
19My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
20Ka lensawkhaih loe cak poe ueloe, ka ban ih kalii doeh tha om let tih.
20My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
21Kaminawk mah ka lok to tahngaih o, ka thuih ih lok to aek o ai.
21Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
22Lok ka thuih pacoengah, mi doeh lok apae o ai boeh; ka thuih ih lok loe nihcae nuiah tui baktiah ca.
22After my words they spake not again; 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.
23And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
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 I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
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.
25I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
