Job 13
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.
1A cungkuem he ka mik loh a hmuh coeng. Te te Ka hna yaak tih a yakming coeng.
2What ye know, do I know also; I am not inferior unto you.
2Nangmih kah mingnah bangla kai khaw ka ming tih nangmih kai he nangmih lakah ka toem moenih.
3Notwithstanding I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
3Tedae kai tah Tlungthang taengah ka thui tih Pathen taengah ka ngaih bangla ka tluung lah sue.
4But ye are plasterers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
4Tedae nangmih ah laithae kap tih nangmih boeih te mueirhol siboei ni.
5Oh that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it would be your wisdom.
5U long nim n'ngam sak lah sue? Na ngam uh lah vetih nangmih ham cueihnah la om mako.
6Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
6Kai kah toelthamnah hnatun dae lamtah ka hmuilai dongkah tuituknah he hnatung uh.
7Will ye speak unrighteously for God, and talk deceitfully for Him?
7Pathen yueng la dumlai na thui uh vetih amah yueng la vuelvaeknah na thui uh aya?
8Will ye show Him favour? Will ye contend for God?
8A maelhmai na then sak uh vetih Pathen yueng la na ho uh aya?
9Would it be good that He should search you out? Or as one mocketh a man, will ye mock Him?
9Nangmih te n'khe vetih hlanghing taengkah omsaa bangla a taengah na omsaa uh koinih then aya?
10He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly show favour.
10Yinhnuk ah maelhmai na dan uh koinih a tluung ham khaw nangmih te ni n'tluung eh.
11Shall not His majesty terrify you, and His dread fall upon you?
11A boeimang loh nangmih te n'let sak tih amah kah birhihnah loh nangmih soah tla het mahpawt nim?
12Your memorials shall be like unto ashes, your eminences to eminences of clay.
12Nangmih poekkoepnah he hmaiphu dongkah banghui, nangmih kah amkhawn khaw amlai amkhawn banghui ni.
13Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.
13Kai taengah hilphah uh lamtah ka cal mai akhaw kamah taengah mebang khaw thoeng mai saeh.
14Wherefore? I will take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand.
14Balae tih ka saa te ka no dongla ka khueh vetih ka hinglu he ka kut neh ka pom eh.
15Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him; but I will argue my ways before Him.
15Kai n'rhaem mai cakhaw amah taengah ka ngaiuep mahpawt nim? Ka longpuei he a mikhmuh ah ka thui pueng ni.
16This also shall be my salvation, that a hypocrite cannot come before Him.
16He khaw kai hamla khangnah la om pai. Lailak tah a mikhmuh la kun mahpawh.
17Hear diligently my speech, and let my declaration be in your ears.
17Nangmih hna dongkah ka olthui neh ka olhoe he hnatun khaw hnatun mai dae.
18Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
18Ka tang ni tila ka ming dongah laitloeknah ka tawn coeng he.
19Who is he that will contend with me? For then would I hold my peace and die.
19Kai aka ho te unim? Ka ngam mai laeh vetih ka pal mai mako.
20Only do not two things unto me, then will I not hide myself from Thee:
20Kai taengah panit bueng saii boeh, na mikhmuh lamloh ka ying pawt ve.
21Withdraw Thy hand far from me; and let not Thy terror make me afraid.
21Na kut te kai dong lamloh lakhla sak lamtah na mueirhih neh kai n'let sak boeh.
22Then call Thou, and I will answer; or let me speak, and answer Thou me.
22Te phoeiah n'khue lamtah ka doo bitni. Ka thui saeh lamtah kai he n'thuung saeh.
23How many are mine iniquities and sins? Make me to know my transgression and my sin.
23Ka taengkah thaesainah neh tholhnah he meyet nim? Ka boekoeknah neh ka boirhaem lai kai n'tueng lah.
24Wherefore hidest Thou Thy face, and holdest me for Thine enemy?
24Balae tih na maelhmai na thuh, kai he na taengkah thunkha bangla nan moeh mai.
25Wilt Thou harass a driven leaf? And wilt Thou pursue the dry stubble?
25Hawnlae a yawn nim na na sairhing vetih divawt rhae te na hloem eh?
26That Thou shouldest write bitter things against me, and make me to inherit the iniquities of my youth.
26Kai taengah khahing te nan daek tih ka camoe thaesainah te kai nan pang sak.
27Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; Thou drawest Thee a line about the soles of my feet;
27Ka kho he hloong dongah nan buen tih ka caehlong boeih na ngaithuen. Ka kho dongkah khotang ham kha na vuel coeng.
28Though I am like a wine-skin that consumeth, like a garment that is moth-eaten.
28Te khaw keet bangla hmawn tih himbai bangla bungbo loh a caak.
