Job 41
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
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(40-25) Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fish-hook? or press down his tongue with a cord?
2A hnah to na daw pae moe, anih ih akam huh to cakoih hoiah na taqawt pae thai tih maw?
2(40-26) Canst thou put a ring into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a hook?
3Anih mah tahmenhaih na hni ueloe, nang khaeah lok kanaem to thui tih maw?
3(40-27) Will he make many supplications unto thee? or will he speak soft words unto thee?
4Anih loe hing thung na tamna ah oh hanah, nang khaeah lokmaihaih sah tih maw?
4(40-28) Will he make a covenant with thee, that thou shouldest take him for a servant for ever?
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?
5(40-29) Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? Or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
6Nam puinawk mah anih han buhraenghaih sah pae tih maw? Anih to hmuen zaw kaminawk khaeah athum o sak tih maw?
6(40-30) Will the bands of fishermen make a banquet of him? Will they part 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?
7(40-31) Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish-spears?
8Anih nuiah ban to mah koeng ah, anih tuk hanah poek hmah.
8(40-32) Lay thy hand upon him; think upon the battle, thou wilt do so no more.
9Khenah, anih pazawk han poekhaih loe azom pui ni; anih hnu kami loe amthaek bup mak ai maw?
9(41-1) Behold, the hope of him is in vain; shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
10Anih to mi mah doeh pahrue thai mak ai; to tiah om nahaeloe mi maw ka hmaa ah angdoe thai tih?
10(41-2) None is so fierce that dare stir him up; who then is able to stand before Me?
11Ka sak pathok let hanah mi mah maw na pakaa thai tih? Van tlim ih hmuennawk boih loe kai ih ni.
11(41-3) Who hath given Me anything beforehand, that I should repay him? Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is Mine.
12Leviathan ih khokbannawk, a thacakhaih hoi kahoih takpumnawk thui ai ah ka om thai mak ai.
12(41-4) Would I keep silence concerning his boastings, or his proud talk, or his fair array of words?
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?
13(41-5) Who can uncover the face of his garment? Who shall come within his double bridle?
14Mi mah maw anih ih mikhmai thok to paong pae thai tih? Anih ih haanawk loe zit thoh.
14(41-6) Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror.
15Kacak ah catui daeng baktih toengah, kangbok a nui ih ahin loe anih amoekhaih ah oh.
15(41-7) His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
16Takhi akun thaih han ai ah, ahin maeto hoi maeto angbet.
16(41-8) One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
17Ahin maeto hoi maeto angbet moe, kacakah angbet caeng pongah khram thai ai.
17(41-9) They are joined one to another; they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
18Anih pasih naah hmai ampha, a mik loe akhawn bangah pakhrip ih mik baktiah oh.
18(41-10) His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19Anih ih pakha thung hoiah hmai aengh hoi hmai kangqong to tacawt.
19(41-11) Out of his mouth go burning torches, and sparks of fire leap forth.
20Tui tangdawh thlukbuk laom thung hoi tacawt hmaikhue baktih toengah, a hnakhaw thung hoiah hmaikhue to tacawt.
20(41-12) Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot and burning rushes.
21Anih anghahhaih takhi mah hmaisaae to amngaehsak moe, anih ih pakha thung hoiah kangqong hmai to tacawt.
21(41-13) His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
22Anih ih tahnong ah thacakhaih to oh, anih hmaa ah loe palungsethaih to anghoehaih ah oh.
22(41-14) In his neck abideth strength, and dismay danceth before him.
23Anih ih ngan thaquinawk loe nawnto amraep o, angthui thai ai, cakrap.
23(41-15) The flakes of his flesh are joined together; they are firm upon him; they cannot be moved.
24Anih ih palung loe thlung baktiah amtak; ue, cang kaehhaih thlung baktiah amtak.
24(41-16) His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, firm as the nether millstone.
25Anih angthawk tahang naah, thacak kaminawk loe zithaih hoiah oh o; anih tamai boh naah om o thai ai.
25(41-17) When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid; by reason of despair they are beside themselves.
26Anih loe sumsen mah caa ai; tayae, palaa hoi ahnuk ahma kamsum tayae mah doeh caa ai.
26(41-18) If one lay at him with the sword, it will not hold; nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.
27Anih loe sum to caphaeh baktiah poek moe, sumkamling doeh kahmawn thing baktiah a poek.
27(41-19) He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
28Palaa mah anih to cawnsak thai mak ai; lawkthluem doeh tavai baktiah ni a poek.
28(41-20) The arrow cannot make him flee; slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
29Anih han loe thingboeng doeh cangkung baktiah ni oh; tayae hoi takhawh han pahuem naah anih mah pahnuithuih.
29(41-21) Clubs are accounted as stubble; he laugheth at the rattling of the javelin.
30Anih ih zok loe kanoe laom koi baktiah oh; tangnong nui ih sum kanoe haa caehhaih ahmuen baktiah oh.
30(41-22) Sharpest potsherds are under him; he spreadeth a threshing-sledge upon the mire.
31Anih mah kathuk tuipui to laom thung ih tangdawh tui baktiah haeh moe, tuipui to laom nokhaih moithawk baktiah a sak.
31(41-23) He maketh the deep to boil like a pot; he maketh the sea like a seething mixture.
32A caeh taak ih loklam loe ampha pongah, tuipui loe sam kanglung baktiah oh.
32(41-24) He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
33Anih baktiah zithaih tawn ai ah sak ih hmuen maeto doeh long nuiah om ai.
33(41-25) Upon earth there is not his like, who is made to be fearless.
34Anih loe kasang hmuennawk to khet; anih loe amoekhaih hmuennawk boih ih siangpahrang ah oh, tiah a naa.
34(41-26) He looketh at all high things; he is king over all the proud beasts.
