Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Paipi te ka mik neh ka saii dongah me tlam lae oila te ka yakming eh?
1I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
2A so lamkah Pathen khoyo neh hmuensang lamkah Tlungthang rho te menim?
2For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
3Boethae ham rhainah neh boethae aka saii ham yoethaenah moenih a?
3Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?
4Amah loh ka longpuei a hmuh tih ka khokan boeih he a tae moenih a?
4Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
5A poeyoek taengah ka pongpa tih ka kho loh a hlangthai palat taengla a tawn uh atah,
5If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;
6Duengnah cooi dongah kai n'khiing saeh lamtah Pathen loh ka muelhtuetnah ming saeh.
6Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity.
7Longpuei lamloh ka khokan a buung atah, ka mik hnukah ka lungbuei cet tih ka kut dongah a lolhmaih a kap atah,
7If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;
8ka soem vaengah a tloe loh ca saeh lamtah ka cadil rhoek te ha uh saeh.
8Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.
9Huta loh ka lungbuei a hlae tih ka hui kah thohka ah ka rhongngol atah,
9If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour’s door;
10Ka yuu loh a tloe la kuelh saeh lamtah a taengah hlang tloe bakop mai saeh.
10Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
11Te dongah te khonuen rhamtat neh te te thaesainah rhokhan ni.
11For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
12Te hmai loh Abaddon duela a hlawp tih ka cangvuei te boeih ha.
12For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
13Ka salpa neh ka salnu loh kai taengah a tuituk vaengah tiktamnah ka hnawt atah,
13If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;
14Pathen a thoh vaengah balae ka saii vetih n'hip vaengah amah te metlam ol ka mael eh?
14What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
15Bungko khuiah kai aka saii loh anih a saii moenih a? Kaimih he bung khuiah pakhat la n'cuen sak.
15Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?
16tattloel kah kongaih te ka hloh pah tih nuhmai mik te ka khah sak koinih,
16If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
17Kamah buhkam te kamah bueng loh ka caak tih cadah loh ca pawt koinih,
17Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
18Ka camoe lamloh napa bangla ka taengah pantai tih nuhmai khaw a nu bung lamloh ka mawt.
18(For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother’s womb;)
19Pueinak mueh tih himbai tling la aka milh khodaeng te ka hmuh mai tih,
19If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;
20A pumpu, a pumpu ah kai n'uem uh vaengah ka tu mul neh ka hlung pawt mai koinih,
20If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
21Vongka ah kai bomkung te ka hmuh vaengah ka kut he cadah soah ka ka thueng atah,
21If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
22ka laengpang he a hnuk lamloh rhul saeh lamtah ka ban a cung dong lamloh tlawt mai saeh.
22Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
23Pathen taengkah rhainah te kai ham ka birhihnah la a om dongah a boeimangnah te ka noeng moenih.
23For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
24Sui te ka uepnah la ka khueh tih sui cilh te ka pangtungnah la ka thui koinih,
24If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;
25Ka thadueng len tih ka kut loh a khuet la a hmuh dongah ka kokhahnah atah,
25If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;
26Vangnah dongah a thangthen tih hla vang a thoeih te ka hmuh vaengah,
26If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;
27ka lungbuei he yinhnuk ah hloih tih ka kut loh ka ka te mok koinih.
27And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:
28He khaw a so kah Pathen taengah ka basa la om vetih thaesainah lai la om ni.
28This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.
29Ka lunguet kah yoethaenah dongah ka kohoe tih yoethae loh anih taengla a thoeng te ka haenghang puei atah,
29If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:
30A hinglu te thaephoeinah neh hoe hamla ka ka he laihmu la ka khueh aih moenih.
30Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.
31Ka dap kah hlang rhoek loh, “U long nim a maeh te a cung pawt la a paek eh?” a ti uh moenih a?
31If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.
32Ka thohkhaih kah yinlai te caehlong ka ong pah tih vongvoel ah a rhaeh moenih.
32The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.
33Hlang bangla ka boekoeknah ka dah tih, kai kathaesainah he ka thindang ah ka det mai akhaw,
33If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:
34hlangping te yet taengah ka sarhing tih huiko kah nueihbu loh kai n'rhihyawp sak. Te dongah ka kuemsuem tih thohka la ka moe pawh.
34Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?
35Kai taengkah aka hnatun la kamah taengah u long nim m'paek lah mako? Ka kutha he Tlungthang loh kai n'doo saeh lamtah ka tuituknah he hlang loh cabu la daek saeh.
35Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.
36Te te ka laengpang ah ka koh vetih te te ka soah rhuisam la ka laikoeinah het mahpawt nim?
36Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.
37Ka khokan tarhing la a taengah ka puen lah vetih anih te rhaengsang bangla ka paan lah mako.
37I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.
38Ka khohmuen loh kai m'pang thil tih a kong te rhenten rhap koinih,
38If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;
39A thadueng te tangka mueh la ka caak tih a kungmah kah hinglu ka yawn sak atah,
39If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:
40Cang yueng la mutlo hling, cangtun yueng la saeldol khaw poe saeh,” a ti. Job kah ol bawt coeng.
40Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
