Job 38
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1To naah Angraeng mah takhi kamhae thung hoiah Job ih lok to pathim pae, anih khaeah;
1Then the Lord answered Job out of a whirlwind, and said:
2panoekhaih tawn ai ah thuih ih lok hoiah khoving baktiah omsak kami loe mi aa?
2Who is this that wrappeth up sentences in unskillful words?
3Vaihi nongpa baktiah kaeng to angzaeng ah; kang dueng ih lok hae na pathim ah.
3Gird up thy loins like a man: I will ask thee, and answer thou me.
4Long angdoethaih akung ka sak nathuem ah naa ah maw na oh? Na panoek nahaeloe, na thui ah.
4Where wast thou when I laid up the foundations of the earth? tell me if thou hast understanding.
5Mi mah maw long tahhaih qui to sak? To tih ai boeh loe mi mah maw a nuiah tahhaih qui to payang? Na panoek nahaeloe pathim ah.
5Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
6Long angdoethaih akung to naa ah maw a paeh? To tih ai boeh loe im takii ih thlung loe mi mah maw tlingh?
6Upon what are its bases grounded? or who laid the corner stone thereof,
7Khawnbang cakaehnawk nawnto laasak o moe, Sithaw caanawk anghoehaih hoiah hangh o nathuem,
7When the morning stars praised me together, and all the sons of God made a joyful melody?
8to tih ai boeh loe amno zok thung hoiah tuipui tacawt moe, tapok naah, mi mah maw tuipui thok khah?
8Who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth as issuing out of the womb:
9Tamai ka sak naah, kathah parai vinghaih hoiah ka khuk moe, ka yaw hmoek,
9When I made a cloud the garment thereof, and wrapped it in a mist as in swaddling bands?
10angzithaih ramri to ka suek pae, thok hoi takraenghaih thing to ka suek pae moe,
10I set my bounds around it, and made it bars and doors:
11hae karoek to ni nang zoh thaih, hae ahmuen hae na poeng mak ai; nam oekhaih tuiphu loe hae ah boengsak ah, tiah ka naa.
11And I said: Hitherto thou shalt come, and shalt go no further, and here thou shalt break thy swelling waves.
12Na hing thung akhawnbang hanah lok na paek vai moe, akhawnbang khodai hanah angmah ih ahmuen to na patuek vai maw;
12Didst thou since thy birth command the morning, and shew the dawning of the day its place?
13akhawnbang khodai mah long boenghaih to patawnh moe, kasae kaminawk tasoehsak maw?
13And didst thou hold the extremities of the earth shaking them, and hast thou shaken the ungodly out of it?
14Long loe catui daeng ih baktiah krang to amtueng moe, khukbuen pong ih krang baktih toengah oh.
14The seal shall be restored as clay, and shall stand as a garment:
15Kasae kaminawk aanghaih loe anghmat moe, payangh ih ban doeh angkhaeh pae.
15From the wicked their light shall be taken away, and the high arm shall be broken.
16Tuipui tacawthaih akhaw thungah na kun moe, kathuk koek ahmuen ah na caeh vai maw?
16Hast thou entered into the depths of the sea, and walked in the lowest parts of the deep?
17Nang hanah duekhaih khongkha to paong vai maw? To tih ai boeh loe duekhaih tahlip ih thoknawk to na hnuk vai maw?
17Have the gates of death been opened to thee, and hast thou seen the darksome doors?
18Kawk parai long hae na panoek vai maw? Na panoek boih nahaeloe, na thui ah.
18Hast thou considered the breadth of the earth? tell me, if thou knowest all things?
19Aanghaih ahmuen phakhaih loklam loe naa ah maw oh? Vinghaih ahmuen loe naa ah maw oh?
19Where is the way where light dwelleth, and where is the place of darkness:
20Khoving khodai ohhaih ahmuen ah nihcae to na hoi thai tih maw? To hmuennawk ohhaih loklam to na panoek maw?
20That thou mayst bring every thing to its own bounds, and understand the paths of the house thereof.
21Nang loe na tapen boeh, to tih ai boeh loe saning paroeai na hing boeh pongah, na panoek han oh.
21Didst thou know then that thou shouldst be born? and didst thou know the number of thy days?
22Dantui kamkhawk suekhaih imthung ah na kun vai maw? To tih ai boeh loe qaetui patunghaih ahmuen to na hnuk vai maw?
22Hast thou entered into the storehouses of the snow, or has thou beheld the treasures of the hail:
23To hmuennawk loe raihaih tue, misa angkahhaih hoi misa angtukhaih tue nathuem han ih na ai maw ka suek?
23Which I have prepared for the time of the enemy, against the day of battle and war?
24Aanghaih loe naa ih loklam hoiah maw aang, to tih ai boeh loe ni angyae bang ih takhi loe naa bang ih loklam hoiah maw song?
24By what way is the light spread, and heat divided upon the earth?
25Tui longhaih loklam to paqoi moe, tangphrapuekhaih loklam sahkung loe mi maw?
25Who gave a course to violent showers, or a way for noisy thunder:
26Mi mah maw kami om ai praezaek hoi kami om ai, long ah kho angzosak?
26That it should rain on the earth without man in the wilderness, where no mortal dwelleth:
27Long karoem, pahnawt sut ih long ah, qam kanawk hoi phro amprawksak hanah mi mah maw sak?
27That it should fill the desert and desolate land, and should bring forth green grass?
28Khotui loe ampa tawnh maw? To tih ai boeh loe mi mah maw dantui ohsak?
28Who is the father of rain? or who begot the drops of dew?
29Kamkhawk tui loe mi ih zok thung hoiah maw tacawt? Van hoi krah tathuk dantui loe mi ih zok thung hoiah maw tacawt?
29Out of whose womb came the ice; and the frost from heaven who hath gendered it?
30Tuinawk loe siktue naah thlung baktiah amkhawk o.
30The waters are hardened like a stone, and the surface of the deep is congealed.
31Kranghoih Pleiades cakaehnawk to qui hoi na zaeng thai maw? Nawnto kangpop Orion cakaehnawk ih qui to na khram thai maw?
31Shalt thou be able to join together the shining stars the Pleiades, or canst thou stop the turning about of Arcturus?
32Atue phak naah Mazzaroth cakaehnawk to na zaeh thai maw? To tih ai boeh loe Akturus to a caanawk hoi nawnto na zaeh thai maw?
32Canst thou bring forth the day star in its time, and make the evening star to rise upon the children of the earth?
33Van ukhaih daan to na panoek maw? To baktih daan hoiah long uk hanah na sak thai maw?
33Dost thou know the order of heaven, and canst thou set down the reason thereof on the earth?
34Pop parai tui ang kraih pae hanah, tamai to lok na paek thai maw?
34Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that an abundance of waters may cover thee?
35Tangphra na pueksak thai maw? Nihcae mah nang khaeah, Hae ah ka oh o, tiah na thui o ueloe, caeh o tih maw?
35Canst thou send lightnings, and will they go, and will they return and say to thee: Here we are?
36Mi mah maw palunghahaih hoi panoek thaihaih palungthin to paek?
36Who hath put wisdom in the heart of man? or who gave the cock understanding?
37Tamai kroek thaih palungha mi maw kaom? Maiphu loe amtaak moe, longnawk nawnto amhlom o naah, van ih pailangnawk krai thaih mi maw kaom?
37Who can declare the order of the heavens, or who can make the harmony of heaven to sleep?
