Job 36
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Elihu mah doeh,
1And Elihu continued:
2na zing kue raeh, kang patuek han, Sithaw zuengah lokthuih han ka tawnh.
2“Bear with me a little longer, and I will show you that there is more to be said on God’s behalf.
3Kangthla parai ahmuen hoiah palunghahaih to ka hak, kai sahkung loe toeng, tiah kam tuengsak han.
3I get my knowledge from afar, and I will ascribe justice to my Maker.
4Tangtang ni amsawnlok ka thui mak ai; panoekhaih hoi akoep kami loe na taengah oh.
4For truly my words are free of falsehood; one perfect in knowledge is with you.
5Khenah, Sithaw loe thacak, toe mi kawbaktih doeh khet patoekhaih tawn ai; anih loe thacakhaih, palunghahaih hoiah akoep.
5Indeed, God is mighty, but He despises no one; He is mighty in strength of understanding.
6Kahoih ai kami ih hinghaih to anih mah patawn pae ai, toe amtang kaminawk loe toenghaih hoiah lok a caek.
6He does not keep the wicked alive, but He grants justice to the afflicted.
7Anih loe katoeng kami to angqoi taak ai, siangpahrangnawk salakah anghnutsak, ue, nihcae to caksak poe moe, kasang ah atoengh tahang.
7He does not take His eyes off the righteous, but He enthrones them with kings and exalts them forever.
8Nihcae to qui hoiah pathlet o moe, pacaekthlaekhaih qui mah taoeng caeng nahaeloe,
8And if men are bound with chains, caught in cords of affliction,
9Anih mah nihcae sethaih hoi sakpazae ih hmuennawk to thuih pae, nihcae amoekhaih to amtuengsak.
9then He tells them their deeds and how arrogantly they have transgressed.
10Thuitaekhaih lok tahngai koehhaih palungthin to paongh pae moe, kasae sakhaih caeh taak hanah a thuih pae.
10He opens their ears to correction and commands that they turn from iniquity.
11Nihcae mah lok to tahngai o moe, a tok to sah o nahaeloe, hing thung khosakhoih o ueloe, kamongah om o tih.
11If they obey and serve Him, then they end their days in prosperity and their years in happiness.
12Toe nihcae mah anih ih lok to tahngai o ai nahaeloe, sumsen hoi anghmaa o tih, panoekhaih om ai ah dueh o tih.
12But if they do not obey, then they perish by the sword and die without knowledge.
13Sithaw panoek ai angsahcop kaminawk loe palung thungah palungphui o; Anih mah qui hoi pathlet naah doeh tahmenhaih hni o ai.
13The godless in heart harbor resentment; even when He binds them, they do not cry for help.
14Nihcae loe thendoeng nathuem ah duek o moe, kaciim ai kaminawk hoi nawnto a duek o.
14They die in their youth, among the male shrine prostitutes.
15Anih mah patangkhang amtang kaminawk to loisak, raihaih a tongh o naah thaih kophaih to a paek.
15God rescues the afflicted by their affliction and opens their ears in oppression.
16Anih mah loklam tamcaek ahmuen hoiah lam tamcaek kaom ai ahmuen kakawk ah na suem ueloe, na caboi nuiah caaknaek kahoih koimongah na patoemh pae tih.
16Indeed, He drew you from the jaws of distress to a spacious and broad place, to a table full of richness.
17Toe nang loe zaehaih pongah lokcaekhaih na tongh boeh; na sak ih zaehaih atho lokcaekhaih to na tong tih.
17But now you are laden with the judgment due the wicked; judgment and justice have seized you.
18Palungphui pongah, danpaekhaih oh han ai ah acoe ah; akranghaih atho paek mang cadoeh na loih thai mak ai.
18Be careful that no one lures you with riches; do not let a large bribe lead you astray.
19Nang raenghaih hmuenmae mah na bomh thai tih maw? Sui hoi na thacakhaih ah kaom pop parai hmuenmaenawk to na paek cadoeh, na bomh thai mak ai.
19Can your wealth or all your mighty effort keep you from distress?
20Khoving to zing hmah; kaminawk loe aqum ah ni angmacae ohhaih ahmuen hoiah anghmat o.
20Do not long for the night, when people vanish from their homes.
21Zaehaih thungah amlaem let han ai, acoe ah; patangkhanghaih pongah to hmuen to ni na koeh kue boeh.
21Be careful not to turn to iniquity, for this you have preferred to affliction.
22Khenah, Sithaw loe a thacakhaih hoiah pakoeh ah oh boeh; anih baktih patukkung mi maw kaom?
22Behold, God is exalted in His power. Who is a teacher like Him?
23Mi mah maw a caehhaih loklam anih han patuek vaih? To ai boeh loe mi mah maw sakpazaehaih na tawnh, tiah naa vaih?
23Who has appointed His way for Him, or told Him, ‘You have done wrong’?
24Kaminawk loe a sak o ih hmuen to laasakhaih hoiah pakoeh o, nang doeh pakoeh toeng han pahnet hmah.
24Remember to magnify His work, which men have praised in song.
25Kami boih mah anih toksakhaih to hnuk o; kami mah kangthla hoiah khen thai tih.
25All mankind has seen it; men behold it from afar.
26Khenah, Sithaw loe Len parai; anih to aicae mah panoek thai ai; anih hinghaih saningnawk doeh kroek thai ai.
26Indeed, God is great—beyond our knowledge; the number of His years is unsearchable.
27Anih loe kaca tui to van ah azuh tahang moe, tamai to khotui ah angcoengsak;
27For He draws up drops of water which distill the rain from the mist,
28tamai thung hoiah tui to krak moe, kami nuiah pop parai kho to angzohsak.
28which the clouds pour out and shower abundantly on mankind.
29Anih mah kawbangmaw tamai to anghaehsak moe, kawbangmaw ohhaih ahmuen hoiah khopazihsak, tiah panoek kami oh maw?
29Furthermore, who can understand how the clouds spread out, how the thunder roars from His pavilion?
30Khenah, anih loe a ohhaih ranuiah aanghaih to suek moe, kathuk koek tuipui talae doeh a kraeng khoep.
30See how He scatters His lightning around Him and covers the depths of the sea.
31To tiah kaminawk to lokcaek moe, kamthlai pokah caaknaek to a paek.
31For by these He judges the nations and provides food in abundance.
32Tamai hoiah aanghaih to kraeng moe, patoep ih ahmuen to kah hanah lok a paek.
32He fills His hands with lightning and commands it to strike its mark.
33Anih ih khopazih tuen mah takhi sae song tih boeh, tiah panoeksak, maitaw mah doeh takhi sae song tih, tiah panoek.
33The thunder declares His presence; even the cattle regard the rising storm.
