Job 17

Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)

Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)

1My spirit shall be wasted, my days shall be shortened, and only the grave remaineth for me.

1Ka mueihla he pat tih ka khohnin loh khum coeng, kai hamla coeng tih phuel om coeng.

2I have not sinned, and my eye abideth in bitterness.

2Ka taengah a omsasaipat pai moenih a? Te dongah amih koek ham khaw ka mik ah rhaeh pai saeh.

3Deliver me O Lord, and set me beside thee, and let any man’s hand fight against me.

3Kai kah rhikhang he namah hamla khueh laeh. Anih te ulong ka kut dongla a khoom eh?

4Thou hast set their heart far from understanding, therefore they shall not be exalted.

4Amih kah lungbuei te lungmingnah lamloh na khoem pah coeng. Te dongah na pomsang sak mahpawh.

5He promiseth a prey to his companions, and the eyes of his children shall fail.

5Khoyo la a hui a phoe vaengah a ca rhoek mik tah hma coeng.

6He hath made me as it were a byword of the people, and I am an example before them.

6Kai he pilnam kah a thuidoek la n'khueh tih maelhmai dongkah timthoeihnah la ka om.

7My eye is dim through indignation, and my limbs are brought as it were to nothing.

7Ka mik he konoinah neh hmang coeng tih ka pumrho he khokhawn bangla boeih om.

8The just shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall be raised up against the hypocrite.

8Te dongah aka thuem khaw a pong sak tih lailak taengah ommongsitoe a haenghang sak.

9And the just man shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.

9Tedae aka dueng loh amah longpuei te a tuuk vetih a kut cim khaw a thaa sai ni.

10Wherefore be you all converted, and come, and I shall not find among you any wise man.

10Amih te boeih na mael sak uh coeng. Na pawk uh to cakhaw nangmih ah hlangcueih ka hmu mahpawh.

11My days have passed away, my thoughts are dissipated, tormenting my heart.

11Ka khohnin loh thok coeng. Ka thinko kah kohnek la ka poeknah mawth coeng.

12They have turned night into day, and after darkness I hope for light again.

12Khoyin te khothaih la a khueh tih, a hmuep tom te vangnah neh a yoei sak.

13If I wait hell is my house, and I have made my bed in darkness.

13Saelkhui te ka im bangla ka lamtawn tih, hmaisuep ah ka rhaenghmuen ka saelh.

14If I have said to rottenness: Thou art my father; to worms, my mother and my sister.

14Vaam taengah, “A pa nang,” ka ti nah tih a rhit taengah, “A nu neh ka ngannu,” ka ti nah coeng.

15Where is now then my expectation, and who considereth my patience?

15Te dongah menim ka ngaiuepnah tih ka ngaiuepnah he unim aka mae?

16All that I have shall go down into the deepest pit: thinkest thou that there at least I shall have rest?

16Saelkhui thohka te suntla vetih laipi khuila rhenten n'ael aya?,” a ti.
