Job 6
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1To naah Job mah,
1Then Job replied:
2Palung ka sethaih hoi raihaih loe tah thai mak ai,
2“If only my grief could be weighed and placed with my calamity on the scales.
3tuipui ih savuet pongah doeh azit kue, to pongah ni kamthlai hmoek ah lok ka paeh moeng.
3For then it would outweigh the sand of the seas— no wonder my words have been rash.
4Thacak Sithaw ih palaanawk mah kai to cop moe, ka pakhra mah kasoe tui to naek; zitthok Sithaw thacakhaih loe ka hmaa ah oh.
4For the arrows of the Almighty have pierced me; my spirit drinks in their poison; the terrors of God are arrayed against me.
5Qam caak naah taw ih laa hrang hang maw? Caak han phroh oh naah maitawtae ambuu maw?
5Does a wild donkey bray over fresh grass, or an ox low over its fodder?
6Kakhraem ai caaknaek paloi ai ah caak thai maw? To tih ai boeh loe aadui tui kanglung pongah khraemhaih oh maw?
6Is tasteless food eaten without salt, or is there flavor in the white of an egg ?
7Ka pakhra mah to baktih caaknaek sui hanah koeh ai; to baktih caaknaek loe palungsethaih caaknaek ah oh.
7My soul refuses to touch them; they are loathsome food to me.
8Aw ka hnik ih hmuen to hak nasoe, ka koeh ih hmuen to Sithaw mah na paek nasoe!
8If only my request were granted and God would fulfill my hope:
9Sithaw mah kai hae paro nasoe, tiah koehhaih ka tawnh; a ban phok nasoe loe, na takroek pat halat nasoe!
9that God would be willing to crush me, to unleash His hand and cut me off!
10To tiah ni monghaih ka tawn tih, ue, palungsethaih ka pauep han, kai hae na tahmen hmah nasoe; Ciimcai Sithaw ih loknawk to ka aek ai.
10It still brings me comfort, and joy through unrelenting pain, that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
11Thacakhaih ka tawn ai boeh, timaw ka oep khing han vop? Saning kasawk ah ka hing cadoeh tih oephaih maw oh vop?
11What strength do I have, that I should still hope? What is my future, that I should be patient?
12Ka thacakhaih loe thlung thacakhaih ah maw oh? To tih ai boeh loe kai ih angan loe sumkamling ngan maw?
12Is my strength like that of stone, or my flesh made of bronze?
13Kai loe kaimah hoi kaimah kang bomh thai ai, ka palunghahaih doeh boeng boeh.
13Is there any help within me now that success is driven from me?
14Patangkhang kami loe angmah ih ampui mah tahmenhaih amtuengsak han oh; toe anih mah tahmen ai nahaeloe, anih loe Lensawk Sithaw zithaih tawn ai kami ah ni oh.
14A despairing man should have the kindness of his friend, even if he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15Kam nawkamyanawk loe kalen moe, kakang let vacong tui baktiah aling thaih kami ah oh o;
15But my brothers are as faithless as wadis, as seasonal streams that overflow,
16to tui loe kamkhawk tui, amtueng ai ah kamzawt dantui mah lensak:
16darkened because of the ice and the inflow of melting snow,
17toe to tui loe nipui tue ah kang moe, ni kabae mah amzawtsak boih.
17but ceasing in the dry season and vanishing from their channels in the heat.
18To vacongnawk loe angmacae longhaih loklam to anghmang o, loklam ai ah a long o moe, anghmat angtaa o.
18Caravans turn aside from their routes; they go into the wasteland and perish.
19Tema ih kaminawk mah tui to pakrong o, Sheba prae hoi kholong caeh kaminawk mah tui to oephaih hoiah zing o.
19The caravans of Tema look for water; the travelers of Sheba hope to find it.
20Nihcae oephaih tawnh o, toe palungboeng o ving; to ah phak o naah, palungboeng o.
20They are confounded because they had hoped; their arrival brings disappointment.
21To baktih toengah nangcae doeh azom pui ni, tiah amtueng boeh; ka tongh ih raihaih na hnuk o naah, na zit o boeh.
21For now you are of no help; you see terror, and you are afraid.
22Kai khaeah bokhaih tangqum to sin oh, to tih ai boeh loe na tawnh o ih hmuenmae thung hoiah tangqum na paek oh,
22Have I ever said, ‘Give me something; offer me a bribe from your wealth;
23misa ban thung hoiah na pahlong oh loe, thacak kami ban thung hoiah na krang oh, tiah ka thuih vai maw?
23deliver me from the hand of the enemy; redeem me from the grasp of the ruthless’?
24Ka sak pazaehaih na patuek oh, kang hngaiduem han.
24Teach me, and I will be silent. Help me understand how I have erred.
25Toenghaih lok loe thacak! Toe kasae nang aek o ih lok mah timaw angcoengsak?
25How painful are honest words! But what does your argument prove?
26Ka thuih ih loknawk kasaethuih hanah na poek o maw, oephaih tawn ai kami mah thuih ih lok loe takhi baktih maw na poek o?
26Do you intend to correct my words, and treat as wind my cry of despair?
27Ue, ampa tawn ai kaminawk to na pacaekthlaek o moe, nam puinawk hanah quum na qaih pae o.
27You would even cast lots for an orphan and barter away your friend.
28To pongah na khen oh; nangcae hmaa ah lok kam lai mak ai.
28But now, please look at me. Would I lie to your face?
29Khopoek o let rae ah, zaehaih net o hmah; ue, khopoek o let raeh; kai loe toenghaih hoiah ni tok ka sak.
29Reconsider; do not be unjust. Reconsider, for my righteousness is at stake.
30Ka palai ah sethaih akap maw? Kai loe kasae kahoih pathlaeng thai ai kami ah maw ka oh?
30Is there iniquity on my tongue? Can my mouth not discern malice?
