Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Angraeng mah Job khaeah,
1And the LORD said to Job:
2thacak Angraeng mah thuitaek ih kami loe lok angaek vop tih maw? Sithaw kasaethui kami mah pathim nasoe, tiah a naa.
2“Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who argues with God give an answer.”
3To naah Job mah, Angraeng khaeah,
3Then Job answered the LORD:
4Khenah, kai loe tidoeh avang ai kami ah ka oh; kawbangmaw nang kang pathim thai tih? Ka ban hoiah pakha ka tamuep khoep han boeh.
4“Behold, I am insignificant. How can I reply to You? I place my hand over my mouth.
5Lok vaito ka thuih, toe ka pathim mak ai: ue, vai hnetto ka thuih moeng boeh; toe ka thui let mak ai boeh.
5I have spoken once, but I have no answer— twice, but I have nothing to add.”
6To naah Angraeng mah takhi thung hoiah Job khaeah,
6Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
7nongpa baktiah kaengkaeh to angzaeng ah; kang dueng ih lok hae na pathim ah.
7“Now brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall inform Me.
8Ka lokcaekhaih na phraek han maw? Na toeng thai hanah, kai zaehaih nang net han maw?
8Would you really annul My justice? Would you condemn Me to justify yourself?
9Sithaw baktiah ban na tawnh maw? Anih baktiah khopazih tuen na tacawtsak thai maw?
9Do you have an arm like God’s? Can you thunder with a voice like His?
10Na tacawtsak thaih nahaeloe, lensawkhaih hoi azathaih to angkhuk ah loe, lensawkhaih hoi kranghoihhaih hoiah amthoep ah.
10Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor, and clothe yourself with honor and glory.
11Palung na phuihaih to pakhrawt ah; amoek kaminawk to khenh loe, pahnaem tathuk ah.
11Unleash the fury of your wrath; look on every proud man and bring him low.
12Amoek kaminawk to khenh loe, ahnaemsak ah; kasae kaminawk to angmacae angdoethaih ahmuen ah atii ah.
12Look on every proud man and humble him; trample the wicked where they stand.
13Nihcae to maiphu thungah nawnto aphum ah, nihcae ih mikhmai to khoving thungah khuk ah.
13Bury them together in the dust; imprison them in the grave.
14To tiah na sak nahaeloe na bantang mah nangmah to pahlong thai tih, tiah ka thuih han, tiah a naa.
14Then I will confess to you that your own right hand can save you.
15Nang hoi nawnto ka sak ih, Behemoth to khenah, anih loe maitaw baktiah qam to caak.
15Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you. He feeds on grass like an ox.
16Khenah, anih thacakhaih loe kaeng ah oh moe, a zok hin ah doeh thacakhaih to oh.
16See the strength of his loins and the power in the muscles of his belly.
17Anih ih tamai loe Sidar thing baktiah ahaek, a phaih thaquinawk loe nawnto angbok.
17His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are tightly knit.
18Anih ih ahuhnawk loe sumboeng kamling baktiah oh moe, anih ih panakhuhnawk loe sum baktiah oh.
18His bones are tubes of bronze; his limbs are rods of iron.
19Anih loe Sithaw mah sak ih hmuen thungah hmaloe koekah oh; toe anih sahkung mah anih to angmah ih sumsen hoiah hmang tih.
19He is the foremost of God’s works; only his Maker can draw the sword against him.
20Mae nuiah kapra moi loe anih ih rawkcaak ah oh, taw ih moinawk loe to ahmuen ah prat o boih.
20The hills yield him their produce, while all the beasts of the field play nearby.
21Anih loe kahoih tahlip thingkung tlim ah tabok moe, tangnong ohhaih ahmuen ah kamprawk akung tlim ah anghawk.
21He lies under the lotus plants, hidden among the reeds of the marsh.
22To thingkung tahlip mah anih to khuk moe, vacong ah kamprawk akungnawk mah anih to takui o khoep.
22The lotus plants conceal him in their shade; the willows of the brook surround him.
23Khenah, anih loe kalen tuipui to tiah doeh sah ai; Jordan vapui anih ih pakha khoek to pha aep to mah angoephaih to a tawnh.
23Though the river rages, Behemoth is unafraid; he remains secure, though the Jordan surges to his mouth.
24Anih to naeh thai tih maw? Thaang pongah amansak ueloe, a hnah to daw pae thai tih maw?
24Can anyone capture him as he looks on, or pierce his nose with a snare?
