Job 3
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Hae tiah oh pacoengah, Job mah pakha aangh moe, angmah tapenhaih ni to kasae thuih.
1After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.
2Job mah hae tiah thuih,
2And this is what he said:
3ka tapenhaih ni hae amro nasoe, ca nongpa pomh boeh, tiah thuihaih aqum to amro nasoe.
3“May the day of my birth perish, and the night it was said, ‘A boy is conceived.’
4To ni to khoving nasoe; ranui bang ih Sithaw mah tidoeh sah pae hmah nasoe; a nuiah aanghaih doeh om hmah nasoe.
4If only that day had turned to darkness! May God above disregard it; may no light shine upon it.
5Vinghaih hoi duekhaih tahlip mah to ani to kai ih ani ni, tiah thui o nasoe; a nuiah tamai amzam nasoe loe, kaving ani mah pazih nasoe.
5May darkness and gloom reclaim it, and a cloud settle over it; may the blackness of the day overwhelm it.
6To ni to vinghaih kathah mah khuk khoep nasoe; saningto thung kaom aninawk thungah athum hmah nasoe loe, kawbaktih khrah thungah doeh kroek ah om hmah nasoe.
6If only darkness had taken that night away! May it not appear among the days of the year; may it never be entered in any of the months.
7Khenah, to aqum loe angqai krang nasoe loe, a thungah anghoehaih lok om hmah nasoe.
7Behold, may that night be barren; may no joyful voice come into it.
8Ani tangoeng kami, palungsethaih angthawksak thaih kaminawk mah to aqum to tangoeng o nasoe.
8May it be cursed by those who curse the day — those prepared to rouse Leviathan.
9Akhawnbang cakaehnawk loe ving o nasoe loe, a zing o ih khodai to hnu o hmah nasoe, akhawnbang khodai doeh hnu o hmah nasoe;
9May its morning stars grow dark; may it wait in vain for daylight; may it not see the breaking of dawn.
10raihaih ka tongh han ai ah, aqum mah kam no ih zok to pakaa ai pongah kasae ah om nasoe.
10For that night did not shut the doors of the womb to hide the sorrow from my eyes.
11Tipongah maw zok thungah ka duek moe, tapen tangsuek naah kam ro ving ai?
11Why did I not perish at birth; why did I not die as I came from the womb?
12Tih han ih khokkhu nuiah ang tapom moe, naek hanah tahnu ang pazohsak?
12Why were there knees to receive me, and breasts that I should be nursed?
13To tiah na sah ai nahaeloe vaihi loe kamongah kang song moe, kang hngai duem han boeh; ka iip ueloe, kang hak tih boeh,
13For now I would be lying down in peace; I would be asleep and at rest
14angmacae amro haih hanah toksah long siangpahrangnawk hoi angraengnawk,
14with kings and counselors of the earth, who built for themselves cities now in ruins,
15to tih ai boeh loe sui katawn mangh, im koimong ah sumkanglung kasuem ukkungnawk hoi nawnto ka laem tih boeh,
15or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver.
16to tih ai boeh loe khrah akoep ai ah tapen nawkta baktih, aanghaih hnu vai ai nawkta baktiah amro han ka koeh boeh.
16Or why was I not hidden like a stillborn child, like an infant who never sees daylight?
17To duekhaih ahmuen ah loe kasae kaminawk mah raihaih paek mak ai boeh; patangkhang kaminawk doeh anghak o tih boeh.
17There the wicked cease from raging, and there the weary find rest.
18To ahmuen ah loe thongkrah kaminawk doeh nawnto anghak o; pacaekthlaek kami ih lok to thaih o ai boeh.
18The captives enjoy their ease; they do not hear the voice of the oppressor.
19To ahmuen ah loe kami kalen doeh, kathoeng doeh nawnto oh o moe, tamna doeh angmah ih angraeng ban thung hoiah loih boeh.
19Both small and great are there, and the slave is freed from his master.
20Tipongah maw patangkhang kami hanah aanghaih paek moe, poeksae kami hanah hinghaih to paek?
20Why is light given to the miserable, and life to the bitter of soul,
21Patangkhang kaminawk loe atho kana hmuennawk pakrong pongah duek han ih koeh o kue, toe dueh o thai ai;
21who long for death that does not come, and search for it like hidden treasure,
22nihcae mah taprong hnuk o naah, paroeai anghoe o moe, nawm o.
22who rejoice and greatly exult when they can find the grave?
23Tipongah maw a caehhaih loklam anghmang kami hoi Sithaw mah pakaa ih kami khaeah hinghaih to paek?
23Why is life given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?
24Buhcaak zuengah kana ahamhaih lok to oh, kana hanghaih lok loe tui baktiah long.
24I sigh when food is put before me, and my groans pour out like water.
25Ka zit parai ih hmuen to ka nuiah phak boeh, ka zit ih hmuen kai khaeah angzoh boeh.
25For the thing I feared has overtaken me, and what I dreaded has befallen me.
26Kai loe monghaih tawn ai, anghakhaih doeh ka tawn ai; raihaih hoiah ni ka oh sut boeh, tiah a thuih.
26I am not at ease or quiet; I have no rest, for trouble has come.”
