Job 6
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1To naah Job mah,
1But Job answered and said,
2Palung ka sethaih hoi raihaih loe tah thai mak ai,
2Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!
3tuipui ih savuet pongah doeh azit kue, to pongah ni kamthlai hmoek ah lok ka paeh moeng.
3For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.
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 are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
5Qam caak naah taw ih laa hrang hang maw? Caak han phroh oh naah maitawtae ambuu maw?
5Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?
6Kakhraem ai caaknaek paloi ai ah caak thai maw? To tih ai boeh loe aadui tui kanglung pongah khraemhaih oh maw?
6Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
7Ka pakhra mah to baktih caaknaek sui hanah koeh ai; to baktih caaknaek loe palungsethaih caaknaek ah oh.
7The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.
8Aw ka hnik ih hmuen to hak nasoe, ka koeh ih hmuen to Sithaw mah na paek nasoe!
8Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
9Sithaw mah kai hae paro nasoe, tiah koehhaih ka tawnh; a ban phok nasoe loe, na takroek pat halat nasoe!
9Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose 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.
10Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed 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 is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?
12Ka thacakhaih loe thlung thacakhaih ah maw oh? To tih ai boeh loe kai ih angan loe sumkamling ngan maw?
12Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
13Kai loe kaimah hoi kaimah kang bomh thai ai, ka palunghahaih doeh boeng boeh.
13Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite 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.
14To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
15Kam nawkamyanawk loe kalen moe, kakang let vacong tui baktiah aling thaih kami ah oh o;
15My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;
16to tui loe kamkhawk tui, amtueng ai ah kamzawt dantui mah lensak:
16Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:
17toe to tui loe nipui tue ah kang moe, ni kabae mah amzawtsak boih.
17What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
18To vacongnawk loe angmacae longhaih loklam to anghmang o, loklam ai ah a long o moe, anghmat angtaa o.
18The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
19Tema ih kaminawk mah tui to pakrong o, Sheba prae hoi kholong caeh kaminawk mah tui to oephaih hoiah zing o.
19The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
20Nihcae oephaih tawnh o, toe palungboeng o ving; to ah phak o naah, palungboeng o.
20They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.
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 ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and 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,
22Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?
23misa ban thung hoiah na pahlong oh loe, thacak kami ban thung hoiah na krang oh, tiah ka thuih vai maw?
23Or, Deliver me from the enemy’s hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
24Ka sak pazaehaih na patuek oh, kang hngaiduem han.
24Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
25Toenghaih lok loe thacak! Toe kasae nang aek o ih lok mah timaw angcoengsak?
25How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?
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 ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?
27Ue, ampa tawn ai kaminawk to na pacaekthlaek o moe, nam puinawk hanah quum na qaih pae o.
27Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.
28To pongah na khen oh; nangcae hmaa ah lok kam lai mak ai.
28Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.
29Khopoek o let rae ah, zaehaih net o hmah; ue, khopoek o let raeh; kai loe toenghaih hoiah ni tok ka sak.
29Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.
30Ka palai ah sethaih akap maw? Kai loe kasae kahoih pathlaeng thai ai kami ah maw ka oh?
30Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?
