Job 30
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Toe vaihi loe kai pongah saning kanawk kaminawk mah ang pahnui o thuih, nihcae ampanawk loe ka panuet moe, tuutoep uinawk hoi nawnto suek han mataeng doeh ka koeh ai.
1But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.
2Ue, nihcae ban thacakhaih loe kai han tidoeh avanghaih om ai, nihcae thacakhaih loe anghmat boih boeh.
2Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?
3Nihcae loe zok amthlam o pongah, minawk hoi angkom o ai; kami om ai angqai krang praezaek ah ni amhet o.
3For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.
4Kapring thungah phrohnawk to a aah o moe, caak hanah imphok kung tangzun to takaeh o.
4Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.
5Nihcae loe kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen hoiah haek o moe, (kamqu hangh thuih baktih hangh o thuih;)
5They were driven forth from among men , (they cried after them as after a thief;)
6tahawt thung ih cathaeng khaw thungah oh o moe, longkhaw thung hoi lungsong khaw thungah a oh o.
6To dwell in the clifts of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.
7Kapring thungah hrang baktiah hangh o moe, soekhring thungah nawnto amkhueng o.
7Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.
8Nihcae loe kamthu caa ah oh o, ue, khosak kasae kaminawk ih caa ah oh o moe, prae thung hoi haek ih kaminawk ah oh o.
8They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.
9Vaihi loe nihcae mah laa ang sak o thuih; ue, nihcae mah kasae thuih ih kami ah ka oh boeh.
9And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.
10Nihcae mah ang panuet o moe, kangthla ah ang oh o taak; ka mikhmai tamtui hoi pathoih hanah tongaah o ai.
10They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.
11Sithaw mah kalii hoiah ang kah moe, ang pacaekthlaek pongah, ka hmaa ah angsumhaih tawn o ai boeh.
11Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.
12Ka bantang bangah thendoengnawk angthawk o moe, ka khok hae ang cawh o; kai amrohaih loklam to a sak o.
12Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.
13Ka loklam to phraek o moe, kai amtimh hanah azom o; nihcae bomhkung mi doeh om ai.
13They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.
14Nihcae loe kalen pui akhaw thungah kakun tui baktiah, kai amrosak hanah tha hoi kai khaeah ang cawnh o.
14They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me .
15Zitthok hmuennawk to ka nuiah phak moe, takhi song baktiah ka hinghaih hnukah patom o; ka tawnh ih hmuenmae loe tamai baktiah anghmat boeh.
15Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.
16Vaihi ka palungthin koih boeh moe, patangkhanghaih aninawk mah ang naeh boeh.
16And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
17Aqum mah ka huh hae thunh moe, thaqui kana ka pauep thai ai boeh.
17My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.
18Ka nathaih nung parai pongah, kaimah ih khubuen mah zaeng ih baktih toengah, ang zaeng caeng.
18By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.
19Anih mah tangnong thungah ang nuih, kai loe maiphu hoi tavai baktiah ni ka oh sut boeh.
19He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.
20Ka Angraeng Nang khaeah ka qah, toe nang pathim ai; kang doet tahang, toe tiah doeh nang sah ai.
20I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not .
21Ka nuiah tahmenhaih na tawn ai; thacakhaih na ban hoiah nang pacaekthlaek.
21Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.
22Kai hae nang toengh tahang moe, takhi to nang thuengsak pongah, ka takpum hae nam rosak ving boeh.
22Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it , and dissolvest my substance.
23Kahing kaminawk boih hanah na sak pae ih im hoi duekhaih thungah, nang caeh haih tih, tiah ka panoek.
23For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.
24Sithaw mah amrohaih phaksak hanah ban phok naah, nihcae mah tahmenhaih hni o langla cadoeh, atho om ai boeh.
24Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.
25Raihaih tongh kami to ka qah haih ai maw? Amtang kami palung ka sae haih ai maw?
25Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?
26Kahoih hmuen ka zing naah, kasae hmuen to angzoh; aanghaih ka zing naah, vinghaih to angzoh.
26When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.
27Kai ih pathin loe bet moe, anghakhaih om ai; patangkhanghaih aninawk loe kai tongh hanah angzoh o.
27My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.
28Niduem naah palungsethaih hoiah ka oh; kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah kang doet moe, ka hang.
28I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.
29Kai loe pahui puinawk ih nawkamya ah ka oh moe, bukbuhnawk ih ampui ah ka oh.
29I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.
30Ka nganhin loe amnum moe, ka huhnawk doeh kabae thuih pa ai boeh.
30My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.
31Kai ih katoeng loe palungsethaih ah angcoeng boeh, kai ih tamoi doeh qahhaih lok ah ni angcoeng ving boeh.
31My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.
