Job 3
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
World English 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,
2Job answered:
3ka tapenhaih ni hae amro nasoe, ca nongpa pomh boeh, tiah thuihaih aqum to amro nasoe.
3“Let the day perish in which I was born, the night which said, ‘There is a boy conceived.’
4To ni to khoving nasoe; ranui bang ih Sithaw mah tidoeh sah pae hmah nasoe; a nuiah aanghaih doeh om hmah nasoe.
4Let that day be darkness. Don’t let God from above seek for it, neither let the light shine on 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.
5Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own. Let a cloud dwell on it. Let all that makes the day black terrify 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.
6As for that night, let thick darkness seize on it. Let it not rejoice among the days of the year. Let it not come into the number of the months.
7Khenah, to aqum loe angqai krang nasoe loe, a thungah anghoehaih lok om hmah nasoe.
7Behold, let that night be barren. Let no joyful voice come therein.
8Ani tangoeng kami, palungsethaih angthawksak thaih kaminawk mah to aqum to tangoeng o nasoe.
8Let them curse it who curse the day, who are ready to rouse up 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;
9Let the stars of its twilight be dark. Let it look for light, but have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the morning,
10raihaih ka tongh han ai ah, aqum mah kam no ih zok to pakaa ai pongah kasae ah om nasoe.
10because it didn’t shut up the doors of my mother’s womb, nor did it hide trouble from my eyes.
11Tipongah maw zok thungah ka duek moe, tapen tangsuek naah kam ro ving ai?
11“Why didn’t I die from the womb? Why didn’t I give up the spirit when my mother bore me?
12Tih han ih khokkhu nuiah ang tapom moe, naek hanah tahnu ang pazohsak?
12Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should nurse?
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 should have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,
14angmacae amro haih hanah toksah long siangpahrangnawk hoi angraengnawk,
14with kings and counselors of the earth, who built up waste places for themselves;
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 as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, as infants who never saw light.
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 troubling. There the weary are at rest.
18To ahmuen ah loe thongkrah kaminawk doeh nawnto anghak o; pacaekthlaek kami ih lok to thaih o ai boeh.
18There the prisoners are at ease together. They don’t hear the voice of the taskmaster.
19To ahmuen ah loe kami kalen doeh, kathoeng doeh nawnto oh o moe, tamna doeh angmah ih angraeng ban thung hoiah loih boeh.
19The small and the great are there. The servant is free from his master.
20Tipongah maw patangkhang kami hanah aanghaih paek moe, poeksae kami hanah hinghaih to paek?
20“Why is light given to him who is in misery, life to the bitter in soul,
21Patangkhang kaminawk loe atho kana hmuennawk pakrong pongah duek han ih koeh o kue, toe dueh o thai ai;
21who long for death, but it doesn’t come; and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,
22nihcae mah taprong hnuk o naah, paroeai anghoe o moe, nawm o.
22who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, 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 light 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.
24For my sighing comes before I eat. My groanings are poured out like water.
25Ka zit parai ih hmuen to ka nuiah phak boeh, ka zit ih hmuen kai khaeah angzoh boeh.
25For the thing which I fear comes on me, that which I am afraid of comes to 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, neither am I quiet, neither do I have rest; but trouble comes.”
