Job 36
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
World English Bible
1Elihu mah doeh,
1Elihu also continued, and said,
2na zing kue raeh, kang patuek han, Sithaw zuengah lokthuih han ka tawnh.
2“Bear with me a little, and I will show you; for I still have something to say on God’s behalf.
3Kangthla parai ahmuen hoiah palunghahaih to ka hak, kai sahkung loe toeng, tiah kam tuengsak han.
3I will get 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 who is perfect in knowledge is with you.
5Khenah, Sithaw loe thacak, toe mi kawbaktih doeh khet patoekhaih tawn ai; anih loe thacakhaih, palunghahaih hoiah akoep.
5“Behold, God is mighty, and doesn’t despise anyone. 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 doesn’t preserve the life of the wicked, but gives 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 doesn’t withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne, he sets them forever, and they are exalted.
8Nihcae to qui hoiah pathlet o moe, pacaekthlaekhaih qui mah taoeng caeng nahaeloe,
8If they are bound in fetters, and are taken in the cords of afflictions,
9Anih mah nihcae sethaih hoi sakpazae ih hmuennawk to thuih pae, nihcae amoekhaih to amtuengsak.
9then he shows 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 also opens their ears to instruction, and commands 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 listen and serve him, they will 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 don’t listen, they will perish by the sword; they will die without knowledge.
13Sithaw panoek ai angsahcop kaminawk loe palung thungah palungphui o; Anih mah qui hoi pathlet naah doeh tahmenhaih hni o ai.
13“But those who are godless in heart lay up anger. They don’t cry for help when he binds them.
14Nihcae loe thendoeng nathuem ah duek o moe, kaciim ai kaminawk hoi nawnto a duek o.
14They die in youth. Their life perishes among the unclean.
15Anih mah patangkhang amtang kaminawk to loisak, raihaih a tongh o naah thaih kophaih to a paek.
15He delivers the afflicted by their affliction, and opens their ear 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.
16Yes, he would have allured you out of distress, into a wide place, where there is no restriction. That which is set on your table would be full of fatness.
17Toe nang loe zaehaih pongah lokcaekhaih na tongh boeh; na sak ih zaehaih atho lokcaekhaih to na tong tih.
17“But you are full of the judgment of the wicked. Judgment and justice take hold of you.
18Palungphui pongah, danpaekhaih oh han ai ah acoe ah; akranghaih atho paek mang cadoeh na loih thai mak ai.
18Don’t let riches entice you to wrath, neither let the great size of a bribe turn you 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.
19Would your wealth sustain you in distress, or all the might of your strength?
20Khoving to zing hmah; kaminawk loe aqum ah ni angmacae ohhaih ahmuen hoiah anghmat o.
20Don’t desire the night, when people 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, don’t regard iniquity; for you have chosen this rather than 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 prescribed his way for him? Or who can say, ‘You have committed unrighteousness’?
24Kaminawk loe a sak o ih hmuen to laasakhaih hoiah pakoeh o, nang doeh pakoeh toeng han pahnet hmah.
24“Remember that you magnify his work, about which men have sung.
25Kami boih mah anih toksakhaih to hnuk o; kami mah kangthla hoiah khen thai tih.
25All men have looked on it. Man sees 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, and we don’t know him. 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 the drops of water, which distill in rain from his vapor,
28tamai thung hoiah tui to krak moe, kami nuiah pop parai kho to angzohsak.
28which the skies pour down and which drop on man abundantly.
29Anih mah kawbangmaw tamai to anghaehsak moe, kawbangmaw ohhaih ahmuen hoiah khopazihsak, tiah panoek kami oh maw?
29Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds and the thunderings of his pavilion?
30Khenah, anih loe a ohhaih ranuiah aanghaih to suek moe, kathuk koek tuipui talae doeh a kraeng khoep.
30Behold, he spreads his light around him. He covers the bottom of the sea.
31To tiah kaminawk to lokcaek moe, kamthlai pokah caaknaek to a paek.
31For by these he judges the people. He gives food in abundance.
32Tamai hoiah aanghaih to kraeng moe, patoep ih ahmuen to kah hanah lok a paek.
32He covers his hands with the lightning, and commands it to strike the mark.
33Anih ih khopazih tuen mah takhi sae song tih boeh, tiah panoeksak, maitaw mah doeh takhi sae song tih, tiah panoek.
33Its noise tells about him, and the livestock also, concerning the storm that comes up.
