Job 34
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Elihu mah,
1Furthermore Elihu answered and said,
2nangcae palungha kaminawk, ka lok hae tahngai oh; panoekhaih tawn kaminawk, naa patueng oh.
2Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
3Pakha mah caaknaek pataengh baktih toengah, naa mah ni lok to khingh.
3For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.
4Toenghaih to qoi o si; aimacae han kahoih hmuen to panoek o si.
4Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
5Job mah, Kai loe ka toeng, ka toenghaih Sithaw mah ang lak pae ving boeh.
5For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.
6Kai loe ka toeng, toe amsawnlok thui kami ah ka oh, sakpazaehaih ka tawn ai, toe kahoih thai ai nathaih hoiah ka oh, tiah thuih.
6Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.
7Job hoi anghmong kami mi maw kaom, kasaethuihaih to tui baktih kanae mi maw kaom?
7What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
8Anih loe kahoih ai hmuen sah kaminawk hoiah amyok moe, kasae kaminawk hoiah angkom.
8Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
9Sithaw nuiah anghoehaih mah kami han amekhaih tidoeh paek ai, tiah Job mah thuih.
9For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.
10To pongah panoekhaih tawn kaminawk, ka lok hae tahngai oh; Sithaw loe hmuen kasae sah mak ai, Thacak Angraeng loe hmuen sakpazaehaih roe tawn mak ai.
10Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
11Kami mah sak ih hmuen baktih toengah Sithaw mah pathok, angmah ih tuinuen baktih toengah, a nuiah phaksak.
11For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
12Ue, Sithaw loe natuek naa ah doeh kasae hmuen to sah mak ai; Thacak Angraeng loe toenghaih to paqoi ving mak ai.
12Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
13Mi mah maw anih to long khenzawnkung hoi long boih ukkung ah suek?
13Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?
14Kami nuiah Sithaw palungphui moe, angmah ih Muithla hoi a hinghaih takhi to la ving nahaeloe,
14If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
15kaminawk loe nawnto anghma o boih tih, kami loe maiphu ah amlaem let tih.
15All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
16Vaihi panoekhaih na tawnh nahaeloe, khopoek ah; ka thuih ih lok hae tahngai ah.
16If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
17Toenghaih hnuma kami mah uk thai tih maw? Thacak toenghaih hoi lokcaekkung to kasae thui thai tih maw?
17Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
18Siangpahrang khaeah, Nang loe tidoeh avang ai, angraengnawk khaeah, Nangcae loe kahoih ai kami ni, tiah thui thai tih maw?
18Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
19Toe anih loe angraengnawk ih mikhmai to khen ai, amtang kaminawk pongah loe angraeng kaminawk ni mikhmai paek kue, tiah om ai; nihcae loe Sithaw mah ni sak boih.
19How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.
20Nihcae loe nawnetta ah duek o; kaminawk loe qum taning ah tasoeh o moe, laemh o boih; thacak kaminawk doeh kami ih ban hoi na ai ah laemh o boih.
20In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
21Sithaw mah loe kami caehhaih loklam to khet moe, a khok tangkannawk doeh hnuk boih.
21For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.
22Zaehaih sah kaminawk anghawk ving thaihaih khoving hoi duekhaih tahlip to om ai.
22There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
23Lokcaek hanah kami mah Sithaw hmaa ah caeh naah, anih mah kami lokcaekhaih ani to khaeh han angai ai.
23For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
24Lokduenghaih om ai ah thacak kaminawk to a vah phaeng moe, nihcae zuengah kalah kaminawk to a suek.
24He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
25Nihcae mah sak ih hmuennawk to anih mah panoek boih pongah, khovingsak moe, amrosak boih.
25Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
26Nihcae loe angmacae sethaih baktih toengah minawk hmaa ah danpaek,
26He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
27nihcae loe Sithaw to caeh o taak moe, anih ih loklamnawk to tiah doeh poek o ai;
27Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:
28to tiah sak o pongah amtang kaminawk qahhaih lok to Angraeng hmaa ah phak moe, pacaekthlaek kaminawk hanghaih lok to anih mah thaih.
28So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
29Toe Sithaw mah anghngai taak duem nahaeloe, mi mah maw raihaih paek thai tih, a mikhmai hawk ving nahaeloe, mi kawbaktih kami hoi prae kaminawk mah maw, anih to hnu thai tih?
29When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:
30To tiah kaminawk thaang pongah amansak han ai ah, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk to danpaek.
30That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
31Kami maeto mah Sithaw khaeah, Kai loe thuitaekhaih ka tongh boeh pongah, ka zae let mak ai boeh;
31Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement , I will not offend any more:
32ka hnu ai ih hmuen to na patuk ah; zaekhaih ka sakpazae boeh nahaeloe, zaehaih ka sah let mak ai boeh, tiah thuih han om ai maw.
32That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
33To hmuen loe na poekhaih baktiah maw om tih? Kai na ai ni, na pahnawt cadoeh, na qoih cadoeh, Sithaw mah pathok let tih, to pongah na panoek ih baktiah thui ah.
33Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
34Panoekhaih tawn kaminawk mah kai han na thui o nasoe loe, palungha kaminawk mah ka lok hae tahngai o nasoe.
34Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.
35Job loe panoekhaih tawn ai ah lok to thuih; a thuih ih loknawk loe palunghahaih om ai.
35Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
36Job loe panoekhaih tawn ai kaminawk baktiah lokthuih pongah, anih to boeng khoek to tanoek han ka koeh.
36My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.
37Zaehaih sak khue na ai ah lokaekhaih doeh oh, aicae salakah ban to tabaeng moe, pop parai Sithaw kasae thuihaih lok to a thuih, tiah a naa.
37For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
