Job 33
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Toe Job, ka lok hae tahngai ah; ka thuih ih loknawk boih hae tahngai ah.
1“But now, O Job, hear my speech, and listen to all my words.
2Khenah, vaihi pakha ka angh moe, ka palai mah lokthuih.
2Behold, I will open my mouth; my address is on the tip of my tongue.
3Ka loknawk loe ka poek toenghaih hoiah ni angzoh; ka palai mah kahoih palunghahaih lok to thuih.
3My words are from an upright heart, and my lips speak sincerely what I know.
4Sithaw ih Muithla mah ni kai hae sak moe, Thacak Angraeng ih takhi mah hinghaih ang paek.
4The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
5Na pathim thaih nahaeloe na patim ah, amsakcoek ah loe ka hmaa ah angdoe ah.
5Refute me if you can; prepare your case and confront me.
6Khenah, Sithaw hmaa ah kai doeh nang baktiah ni ka oh, kai doeh long hoiah ni sak toeng.
6I am just like you before God; I was also formed from clay.
7Khenah, na zit han koi kai khaeah tidoeh om ai; na nuiah kazit ban to ka koeng mak ai.
7Surely no fear of me should terrify you; nor will my hand be heavy upon you.
8Na thuih ih lok to ka thaih, na thuih ih loknawk to ka thaih boeh,
8Surely you have spoken in my hearing, and I have heard these very words:
9kai loe ka ciim, zae sakhaih ka tawn ai; sakpazaehaih doeh ka tawn ai.
9‘I am pure, without transgression; I am clean, with no iniquity in me.
10Khenah, Sithaw mah ka zaehaih pakrong; kai hae a misa ah ang suek,
10Yet God finds occasions against me; He counts me as His enemy.
11ka khok hae thlong ang thuk pae moe, ka caehhaih loklamnawk boih ang pakaa, tiah na thuih.
11He puts my feet in the stocks; He watches over all my paths.’
12Khenah, na thuih pazae boeh; lok kang pathim han vop, Sithaw loe kami pongah len kue.
12Behold, you are not right in this matter. I will answer you, for God is greater than man.
13Anih mah ka sak ih hmuen kawng pongah lok pathim ai, tiah na thuih moe, Sithaw to na laisaep thuih loe?
13Why do you complain to Him that He answers nothing a man asks?
14Sithaw mah lok vaito thuih pacoengah, kalah loklam bang hoiah lok a thuih pae let, toe kami mah panoek pae thai ai.
14For God speaks in one way and in another, yet no one notices.
15Kami loe iih angam moe, iihhaih ahmuen ah a iih, qum amang ah hnuksakhaih mah,
15In a dream, in a vision in the night, when deep sleep falls upon men as they slumber on their beds,
16a naa thungah lok to thuih pae moe, thuitaekhaih lok to paek,
16He opens their ears and terrifies them with warnings
17kami mah sak atimhaih to pahnawt moe, amoekhaih tawn han ai ah a sak.
17to turn a man from wrongdoing and keep him from pride,
18Anih hinghaih to tangqom thung hoiah Sithaw mah pahlong moe, sumsen hoi duek han ai ah pakaa pae.
18to preserve his soul from the Pit and his life from perishing by the sword.
19Anih loe iihhaih ahmuen ah angsong hanah nathaih hoiah kami to thuitaek moe, ahuhnawk boih to natsak;
19A man is also chastened on his bed with pain and constant distress in his bones,
20To naah a hinghaih mah buh to panuet moe, palung mah buhcaak angnaa pae ai.
20so that he detests his bread, and his soul loathes his favorite food.
21Anih loe zaek kaeng boeh moe, kamtueng vai ai ahuhnawk doeh, amtueng boih.
21His flesh wastes away from sight, and his hidden bones protrude.
22Ue, a hinghaih mah taprong to pangh tathuk, a hinghaih amrosakkungnawk khaeah phak tom boeh.
22He draws near to the Pit, and his life to the messengers of death.
23Toe kaminawk khaeah toenghaih loklam to patuek hanah, van kami sangto thungah, maeto mah Sithaw hoi kami salakah laicaeh ah om nahaeloe,
23Yet if there is a messenger on his side, one mediator in a thousand, to tell a man what is right for him,
24Sithaw mah anih to tahmen ah loe, Tangqom thung caeh han ai ah anih to pahlong ah; anih akranghaih to ka hnuk boeh, tiah thui tih.
24to be gracious to him and say, ‘Spare him from going down to the Pit; I have found his ransom,’
25To naah anih ih ngan loe nawkta ngan baktiah angcoeng let ueloe, thendoeng nathuem ih baktih toengah om let tih.
25then his flesh is refreshed like a child’s; he returns to the days of his youth.
26Anih mah Sithaw khaeah lawkthui ueloe, mikhmai hoihaih to hnu tih; anghoehaih hoi Sithaw ih mikhmai to hnu tih; Sithaw mah a toenghaih to kami hanah paek.
26He prays to God and finds favor; he sees God’s face and shouts for joy, and God restores His righteousness to that man.
27Anih mah kaminawk hmaa ah, Mi kawbaktih mah doeh ka zae moeng boeh, toenghaih to toeng ai ah ka sak moeng boeh, to hmuen mah kai han avanghaih tidoeh na paek ai, tiah thui nahaeloe,
27Then he sings before men with these words: ‘I have sinned and perverted what was right; yet I did not get what I deserved.
28Anih mah tangqom thung hoiah a hinghaih to akrang ueloe, a hinghaih mah aanghaih to hnu tih.
28He redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit, and I will live to see the light.’
29Khenah, Sithaw mah hae hmuennawk hae kami khaeah sak toepsoep;
29Behold, all these things God does to a man, two or even three times,
30anih hinghaih to tangqom thung hoiah amlaemsak let moe, hinghaih paek aanghaih thungah a caeh haih.
30to bring back his soul from the Pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of life.
31Aw Job, naa to patuengah loe, ka lok hae acoehaih hoiah tahngai ah; anghngai duem ah; lok kang thuih han vop.
31Pay attention, Job, and listen to me; be silent, and I will speak.
32Lokthuih na koeh nahaeloe, na pathim ah; toenghaih hnuksak han ka koeh pongah, lok na thui ah.
32But if you have something to say, answer me; speak up, for I would like to vindicate you.
33Toe lokthuih han na tawn ai nahaeloe, ka lok hae tahngai ah; anghngai duem ah, palunghahaih kang patuk han, tiah a naa.
33But if not, then listen to me; be quiet, and I will teach you wisdom.”
