Job 41
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Leviathan to cakoih hoi na tathok thai tih maw? To tih ai boeh loe anih ih palai to qui hoiah na pathlet pae thai tih maw?
1“Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook or tie down his tongue with a rope?
2A hnah to na daw pae moe, anih ih akam huh to cakoih hoiah na taqawt pae thai tih maw?
2Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook?
3Anih mah tahmenhaih na hni ueloe, nang khaeah lok kanaem to thui tih maw?
3Will he beg you for mercy or speak to you softly?
4Anih loe hing thung na tamna ah oh hanah, nang khaeah lokmaihaih sah tih maw?
4Will he make a covenant with you to take him as a slave for life?
5Anih to tavaa hoi amhai baktiah nam hai haih han maw? To tih ai boeh loe nangmah ih nongpatanawk hanah anih to qui hoiah na pathlet pae han maw?
5Can you pet him like a bird or put him on a leash for your maidens?
6Nam puinawk mah anih han buhraenghaih sah pae tih maw? Anih to hmuen zaw kaminawk khaeah athum o sak tih maw?
6Will traders barter for him or divide him among the merchants?
7Sum kamsum hoiah anih ih ahin to na thunh thai tih maw? To tih ai boeh loe a lu to tanga thunhaih tayae hoiah na thunh thai tih maw?
7Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears?
8Anih nuiah ban to mah koeng ah, anih tuk hanah poek hmah.
8If you lay a hand on him, you will remember the battle and never repeat it!
9Khenah, anih pazawk han poekhaih loe azom pui ni; anih hnu kami loe amthaek bup mak ai maw?
9Surely hope of overcoming him is false. Is not the sight of him overwhelming?
10Anih to mi mah doeh pahrue thai mak ai; to tiah om nahaeloe mi maw ka hmaa ah angdoe thai tih?
10No one is so fierce as to rouse Leviathan. Then who is able to stand against Me?
11Ka sak pathok let hanah mi mah maw na pakaa thai tih? Van tlim ih hmuennawk boih loe kai ih ni.
11Who has given to Me that I should repay him? Everything under heaven is Mine.
12Leviathan ih khokbannawk, a thacakhaih hoi kahoih takpumnawk thui ai ah ka om thai mak ai.
12I cannot keep silent about his limbs, his power and graceful form.
13Mi mah maw anih ih ahin to khok pae thai tih? Mi mah maw anih ih akam huh to cakoih hoi tathok hanah a taengah caeh thai tih?
13Who can strip off his outer coat? Who can approach him with a bridle?
14Mi mah maw anih ih mikhmai thok to paong pae thai tih? Anih ih haanawk loe zit thoh.
14Who can open his jaws, ringed by his fearsome teeth?
15Kacak ah catui daeng baktih toengah, kangbok a nui ih ahin loe anih amoekhaih ah oh.
15His rows of scales are his pride, tightly sealed together.
16Takhi akun thaih han ai ah, ahin maeto hoi maeto angbet.
16One scale is so near to another that no air can pass between them.
17Ahin maeto hoi maeto angbet moe, kacakah angbet caeng pongah khram thai ai.
17They are joined to one another; they clasp and cannot be separated.
18Anih pasih naah hmai ampha, a mik loe akhawn bangah pakhrip ih mik baktiah oh.
18His snorting flashes with light, and his eyes are like the rays of dawn.
19Anih ih pakha thung hoiah hmai aengh hoi hmai kangqong to tacawt.
19Firebrands stream from his mouth; fiery sparks shoot forth!
20Tui tangdawh thlukbuk laom thung hoi tacawt hmaikhue baktih toengah, a hnakhaw thung hoiah hmaikhue to tacawt.
20Smoke billows from his nostrils as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.
21Anih anghahhaih takhi mah hmaisaae to amngaehsak moe, anih ih pakha thung hoiah kangqong hmai to tacawt.
21His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames pour from his mouth.
22Anih ih tahnong ah thacakhaih to oh, anih hmaa ah loe palungsethaih to anghoehaih ah oh.
22Strength resides in his neck, and dismay leaps before him.
23Anih ih ngan thaquinawk loe nawnto amraep o, angthui thai ai, cakrap.
23The folds of his flesh are tightly joined; they are firm and immovable.
24Anih ih palung loe thlung baktiah amtak; ue, cang kaehhaih thlung baktiah amtak.
24His chest is as hard as a rock, as hard as a lower millstone!
25Anih angthawk tahang naah, thacak kaminawk loe zithaih hoiah oh o; anih tamai boh naah om o thai ai.
25When Leviathan rises up, the mighty are terrified; they withdraw before his thrashing.
26Anih loe sumsen mah caa ai; tayae, palaa hoi ahnuk ahma kamsum tayae mah doeh caa ai.
26The sword that reaches him has no effect, nor does the spear or dart or arrow.
27Anih loe sum to caphaeh baktiah poek moe, sumkamling doeh kahmawn thing baktiah a poek.
27He regards iron as straw and bronze as rotten wood.
28Palaa mah anih to cawnsak thai mak ai; lawkthluem doeh tavai baktiah ni a poek.
28No arrow can make him flee; slingstones become like chaff to him.
29Anih han loe thingboeng doeh cangkung baktiah ni oh; tayae hoi takhawh han pahuem naah anih mah pahnuithuih.
29A club is regarded as straw, and he laughs at the sound of the lance.
30Anih ih zok loe kanoe laom koi baktiah oh; tangnong nui ih sum kanoe haa caehhaih ahmuen baktiah oh.
30His undersides are jagged potsherds, spreading out the mud like a threshing sledge.
31Anih mah kathuk tuipui to laom thung ih tangdawh tui baktiah haeh moe, tuipui to laom nokhaih moithawk baktiah a sak.
31He makes the depths seethe like a cauldron; he makes the sea like a jar of ointment.
32A caeh taak ih loklam loe ampha pongah, tuipui loe sam kanglung baktiah oh.
32He leaves a glistening wake behind him; one would think the deep had white hair!
33Anih baktiah zithaih tawn ai ah sak ih hmuen maeto doeh long nuiah om ai.
33Nothing on earth is his equal— a creature devoid of fear!
34Anih loe kasang hmuennawk to khet; anih loe amoekhaih hmuennawk boih ih siangpahrang ah oh, tiah a naa.
34He looks down on all the haughty; he is king over all the proud.”
