Job 33
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
World English Bible
1Toe Job, ka lok hae tahngai ah; ka thuih ih loknawk boih hae tahngai ah.
1“However, Job, please hear my speech, and listen to all my words.
2Khenah, vaihi pakha ka angh moe, ka palai mah lokthuih.
2See now, I have opened my mouth. My tongue has spoken in my mouth.
3Ka loknawk loe ka poek toenghaih hoiah ni angzoh; ka palai mah kahoih palunghahaih lok to thuih.
3My words will utter the uprightness of my heart. That which my lips know they will speak sincerely.
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.
5If you can, answer me. Set your words in order before me, and stand up.
6Khenah, Sithaw hmaa ah kai doeh nang baktiah ni ka oh, kai doeh long hoiah ni sak toeng.
6Behold, I am toward God even as you are. I am also formed out of the clay.
7Khenah, na zit han koi kai khaeah tidoeh om ai; na nuiah kazit ban to ka koeng mak ai.
7Behold, my terror will not make you afraid, neither will my pressure be heavy on you.
8Na thuih ih lok to ka thaih, na thuih ih loknawk to ka thaih boeh,
8“Surely you have spoken in my hearing, I have heard the voice of your words, saying,
9kai loe ka ciim, zae sakhaih ka tawn ai; sakpazaehaih doeh ka tawn ai.
9‘I am clean, without disobedience. I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me.
10Khenah, Sithaw mah ka zaehaih pakrong; kai hae a misa ah ang suek,
10Behold, he finds occasions against me. He counts me for 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 marks all my paths.’
12Khenah, na thuih pazae boeh; lok kang pathim han vop, Sithaw loe kami pongah len kue.
12“Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just, 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 strive against him, because he doesn’t give account of any of his matters?
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 once, yes twice, though man pays no attention.
15Kami loe iih angam moe, iihhaih ahmuen ah a iih, qum amang ah hnuksakhaih mah,
15In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in slumbering on the bed,
16a naa thungah lok to thuih pae moe, thuitaekhaih lok to paek,
16then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
17kami mah sak atimhaih to pahnawt moe, amoekhaih tawn han ai ah a sak.
17that he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18Anih hinghaih to tangqom thung hoiah Sithaw mah pahlong moe, sumsen hoi duek han ai ah pakaa pae.
18He keeps back 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;
19“He is chastened also with pain on his bed, with continual strife in his bones,
20To naah a hinghaih mah buh to panuet moe, palung mah buhcaak angnaa pae ai.
20so that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty food.
21Anih loe zaek kaeng boeh moe, kamtueng vai ai ahuhnawk doeh, amtueng boih.
21His flesh is so consumed away that it can’t be seen. His bones that were not seen stick out.
22Ue, a hinghaih mah taprong to pangh tathuk, a hinghaih amrosakkungnawk khaeah phak tom boeh.
22Yes, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.
23Toe kaminawk khaeah toenghaih loklam to patuek hanah, van kami sangto thungah, maeto mah Sithaw hoi kami salakah laicaeh ah om nahaeloe,
23“If there is beside him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to 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.
24then God is gracious to him, and says, ‘Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.’
25To naah anih ih ngan loe nawkta ngan baktiah angcoeng let ueloe, thendoeng nathuem ih baktih toengah om let tih.
25His flesh will be fresher than 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 he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy. He restores to man his righteousness.
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,
27He sings before men, and says, ‘I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it didn’t profit me.
28Anih mah tangqom thung hoiah a hinghaih to akrang ueloe, a hinghaih mah aanghaih to hnu tih.
28He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit. My life will see the light.’
29Khenah, Sithaw mah hae hmuennawk hae kami khaeah sak toepsoep;
29“Behold, God does all these things, twice, yes three times, with a man,
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 the living.
31Aw Job, naa to patuengah loe, ka lok hae acoehaih hoiah tahngai ah; anghngai duem ah; lok kang thuih han vop.
31Mark well, Job, and listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will speak.
32Lokthuih na koeh nahaeloe, na pathim ah; toenghaih hnuksak han ka koeh pongah, lok na thui ah.
32If you have anything to say, answer me. Speak, for I desire to justify you.
33Toe lokthuih han na tawn ai nahaeloe, ka lok hae tahngai ah; anghngai duem ah, palunghahaih kang patuk han, tiah a naa.
33If not, listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.”
