1And Job answered, and said:
1To naah Job mah,
2Indeed I know it is so, and that man cannot be justified compared with God.
2to lok loe amsoem, tiah ka panoek; toe kami loe kawbangmaw Sithaw hmaa ah toeng thai tih?
3If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one for a thousand.
3Kami mah anih hoi lok angaek han koeh cadoeh, vai sangto thungah vaito mataeng doeh pathim thai mak ai.
4He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath resisted him, and hath had peace?
4Sithaw loe palunghahaih, thacakhaih hoiah koi; palung thah, anih ih lok aek kami loe khosak hoihaih hnuk vai maw?
5Who hath removed mountains, and they whom he overthrew in his wrath, knew it not.
5Sithaw palungphui naah, nihcae panoek ai ah maenawk to angthuisak moe, amletsak thaih,
6Who shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
6long to angthuisak hanah ahuenh moe, tungnawk to anghuensak.
7Who commandeth tile sun and it riseth not: and shutteth up the stars as it were under a seal:
7Ni tacawt han ai ah lok a thuih pae; cakaehnawk aanghaih to vingh pae khoep.
8Who alone spreadeth out the heavens, and walketh upon the waves of the sea.
8Anih mah khue ni vannawk to payuengh moe, tuipui tuiphunawk to cawh thaih.
9Who maketh Arcturus, and Orion, and Hyades, and the inner parts of the south.
9Anih loe Arcturus, Orian, Pleiades cakaehnawk hoi aloih bang ih cakaehnawk Sahkung ah oh.
10Who doth things great and incomprehensible, and wonderful, of which there is no number.
10Anih loe panoek thai ai kalen hmuennawk to sak; ue, kroek laek ai dawnraihaih doeh a sak.
11If he come to me, I shall not see him: if he depart I shall not understand.
11Khenah, anih ka taengah caeh naah, ka hnu thai ai; a caeh poe naah, anih to ka panoek thai ai.
12If he examine on a sudden, who shall answer him? or who can say: Why dost thou so?
12Khenah, anih mah la ving nahaeloe, mi mah maw pakaa thai tih? Mi mah maw anih khaeah, Timaw na sak? tiah thui thai tih?
13God, whose wrath no mall can resist, and under whom they stoop that bear up the world.
13Sithaw palungphuihaih dip ai nahaeloe, amoek kami thapaek kaminawk loe anih hmaa ah ni akuep o sut tih.
14What am I then, that I should answer him, and have words with him?
14Kawbangmaw anih ih lok to ka pathim thai tih? Anih hoi lok angaek hanah kawbaktih lok maw ka qoih han?
15I, who although I should have any just thing, would not answer, but would make supplication to my judge.
15Zaehaih ka tawn ai langlacadoeh, anih to ka aek thai mak ai; lokcaekkung khaeah loe tahmenhaih khue ni ka hnik thaih.
16And if he should hear me when I call, I should not believe that he had heard my voice.
16Anih to ka kawk moe, ka kawkhaih lok na pathim pae aep to mah, anih mah ka lok na tahngai pae tih, tiah ka poek ai.
17For he shall crush me in a whirlwind, and multiply my wounds even without cause.
17Anih mah takhi sae hoiah ang boh moe, takung om ai ah nganbawh kana ang pungsak.
18He alloweth not my spirit to rest, and he filleth me with bitterness.
18Kai han anghahhaih takhi na paek ai, kakhaa patangkhanghaih hoiah ni ang koisak.
19If strength be demanded, he is most strong: if equity of judgment, no man dare bear witness for me.
19Thacakhaih kawng thuih nahaeloe, khenah, anih loe thacak koek ah oh! Toenghaih hoi lokcaek naah doeh, mi mah maw lokcaekhaih im ah kai han lok pathim pae tih?
20If I would justify myself, my own mouth shall condemn me: if I would shew myself innocent, he shall prove me wicked.
20Zaehaih tawn ai ah ka oh langlacadoeh, ka pakha mah zaehaih na net tih; coek koi om ai ah ka oh, tiah ka thuih cadoeh, ka poek angkawnhaih to amtuengsak tih.
21Although I should be simple, even this my soul shall be ignorant of, and I shall be weary of my life.
21Coek koi om ai ah ka oh cadoeh, ka poekhaih ka panoek thai ai; ka hinghaih hae tiah doeh ka poek ai.
22One thing there is that I have spoken, both the innocent and the wicked he consumeth.
22Maeto kaom kanghmong hmuen loe, Coek koi om ai kami doeh, kasae kami doeh, amro hmaek tih, tiah ka thuih.
23If he scourge, let him kill at once, and not laugh at the pains of the innocent.
23Poek ai pui hoi kami to boh maat naah, anih mah zaehaih tawn ai kami nuiah lokcaekhaih to pahnui thuih.
24The earth is given into the hand of the wicked, he covereth the face of the judges thereof: and if it be not he, who is it then?
24Long loe kasae kami ban ah paek moe, lokcaekkungnawk to mikmaengsak; to hmuen to Sithaw mah sah ai nahaeloe, mi mah maw sah tih?
25My days have been swifter than a post: they have fled away and have not seen good.
25Ka hinghaih aninawk loe ca phawkung pongah doeh rang o kue; nihcae loe hoihhaih hnu ai ah, cawnh o.
26They have passed by as ships carrying fruits, as an eagle flying to the prey.
26To aninawk loe cawnh karang palongpui baktiah laemh o moe, moi cop hanah karangah kazawk tahmu baktiah oh o.
27If I say: I will not speak so: I change my face, and am tormented with sorrow.
27Laisaephaih ka pahnet han boeh, poekraihaih ka toengh moe, ka pahnui han boeh, tiah ka thuih cadoeh,
28I feared all my works, knowing that thou didst not spare the offender.
28ka tongh ih patangkhanghaih to ka zit, kai hae zaehaih tawn ai kami ni, tiah Na poek mak ai, tito ka panoek.
29But if so also I am wicked, why have I laboured in vain?
29Kahoih ai kami ah ka oh nahaeloe, tih hanah azom pui ah tok ka sak khing vop loe?
30If I be washed as it were with snow waters, and my hands shall shine ever so clean:
30Ka takpum hae dantui hoi kam saeh moe, ka ban hae kaciim ah kam saeh cadoeh,
31Yet thou shalt plunge me in filth, and my garments shall abhor me,
31Sithaw mah tangnong thungah na va ueloe, ka khukbuen mah ka takpum hae panuet tih.
32For I shall not answer a man that is like myself: nor one that may be heard with me equally in judgment.
32Lokcaekhaih ahmuen ah nawnto a caeh o moe, a lok pathim hanah, Sithaw loe kai baktiah om ai.
33There is none that may be able to reprove both, and to put his hand between both.
33Aihnik lokcaek hmaek hanah, aicae salakah kaom kami mi doeh om ai.
34Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me.
34Lokcaekhaih angmah ih cung to kai khae hoiah la ving nasoe loe, zitthok a sak ih hmuen mah na pazih hmah nasoe.
35I will speak, and will not fear him: for I cannot answer while I am in fear.
35To tiah nahaeloe anih zithaih tawn ai ah lok to ka thuih han; toe vaihi loe lok ka thui thai ai.
