Job 36
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Elihu mah doeh,
1Elihu also proceeded, and said:
2na zing kue raeh, kang patuek han, Sithaw zuengah lokthuih han ka tawnh.
2Suffer me a little, and I will tell thee; for there are yet words on God's behalf.
3Kangthla parai ahmuen hoiah palunghahaih to ka hak, kai sahkung loe toeng, tiah kam tuengsak han.
3I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
4Tangtang ni amsawnlok ka thui mak ai; panoekhaih hoi akoep kami loe na taengah oh.
4For truly my words are not false; one that is upright in mind is with thee.
5Khenah, Sithaw loe thacak, toe mi kawbaktih doeh khet patoekhaih tawn ai; anih loe thacakhaih, palunghahaih hoiah akoep.
5Behold, God is mighty, yet He despiseth not any; 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 preserveth not the life of the wicked; but giveth to the poor their right.
7Anih loe katoeng kami to angqoi taak ai, siangpahrangnawk salakah anghnutsak, ue, nihcae to caksak poe moe, kasang ah atoengh tahang.
7He withdraweth not His eyes from the righteous; but with kings upon the throne He setteth them for ever, and they are exalted.
8Nihcae to qui hoiah pathlet o moe, pacaekthlaekhaih qui mah taoeng caeng nahaeloe,
8And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;
9Anih mah nihcae sethaih hoi sakpazae ih hmuennawk to thuih pae, nihcae amoekhaih to amtuengsak.
9Then He declareth unto them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
10Thuitaekhaih lok tahngai koehhaih palungthin to paongh pae moe, kasae sakhaih caeh taak hanah a thuih pae.
10He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return 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 hearken and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
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 hearken not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
13Sithaw panoek ai angsahcop kaminawk loe palung thungah palungphui o; Anih mah qui hoi pathlet naah doeh tahmenhaih hni o ai.
13But they that are godless in heart lay up anger; they cry not for help when He bindeth them.
14Nihcae loe thendoeng nathuem ah duek o moe, kaciim ai kaminawk hoi nawnto a duek o.
14Their soul perisheth in youth, and their life as that of the depraved.
15Anih mah patangkhang amtang kaminawk to loisak, raihaih a tongh o naah thaih kophaih to a paek.
15He delivereth the afflicted by His affliction, and openeth their ear by tribulation.
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.
16Yea, He hath allured thee out of distress into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which is set on thy table is full of fatness;
17Toe nang loe zaehaih pongah lokcaekhaih na tongh boeh; na sak ih zaehaih atho lokcaekhaih to na tong tih.
17And thou art full of the judgment of the wicked; judgment and justice take hold on them.
18Palungphui pongah, danpaekhaih oh han ai ah acoe ah; akranghaih atho paek mang cadoeh na loih thai mak ai.
18For beware of wrath, lest thou be led away by thy sufficiency; neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside.
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.
19Will thy riches avail, that are without stint, or all the forces of thy strength?
20Khoving to zing hmah; kaminawk loe aqum ah ni angmacae ohhaih ahmuen hoiah anghmat o.
20Desire not the night, when peoples are cut off in their place.
21Zaehaih thungah amlaem let han ai, acoe ah; patangkhanghaih pongah to hmuen to ni na koeh kue boeh.
21Take heed, regard not iniquity; for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
22Khenah, Sithaw loe a thacakhaih hoiah pakoeh ah oh boeh; anih baktih patukkung mi maw kaom?
22Behold, God doeth loftily 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 hath enjoined Him His way? Or who hath said: 'Thou hast wrought unrighteousness'?
24Kaminawk loe a sak o ih hmuen to laasakhaih hoiah pakoeh o, nang doeh pakoeh toeng han pahnet hmah.
24Remember that thou magnify His work, whereof men have sung.
25Kami boih mah anih toksakhaih to hnuk o; kami mah kangthla hoiah khen thai tih.
25All men have looked thereon; man beholdeth it afar off.
26Khenah, Sithaw loe Len parai; anih to aicae mah panoek thai ai; anih hinghaih saningnawk doeh kroek thai ai.
26Behold, 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 draweth away the drops of water, which distil rain from His vapour;
28tamai thung hoiah tui to krak moe, kami nuiah pop parai kho to angzohsak.
28Which the skies pour down and drop upon the multitudes of men.
29Anih mah kawbangmaw tamai to anghaehsak moe, kawbangmaw ohhaih ahmuen hoiah khopazihsak, tiah panoek kami oh maw?
29Yea, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, the crashings of His pavilion?
30Khenah, anih loe a ohhaih ranuiah aanghaih to suek moe, kathuk koek tuipui talae doeh a kraeng khoep.
30Behold, He spreadeth His light upon it; and He covereth the depths of the sea.
31To tiah kaminawk to lokcaek moe, kamthlai pokah caaknaek to a paek.
31For by these He judgeth the peoples; He giveth food in abundance.
32Tamai hoiah aanghaih to kraeng moe, patoep ih ahmuen to kah hanah lok a paek.
32He covereth His hands with the lightning, and giveth it a charge that it strike the mark.
33Anih ih khopazih tuen mah takhi sae song tih boeh, tiah panoeksak, maitaw mah doeh takhi sae song tih, tiah panoek.
33The noise thereof telleth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the storm that cometh up.
