Job 17
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, the grave is ready for me.
1Ka hinghaih amro boeh moe, kai ih aninawk doeh laemh boeh; taprong mah ang zing kong boeh.
2Surely there are mockers with me, and mine eye abideth in their provocation.
2Nihcae mah kai ang pahnui o thuih na ai maw? Ang pahrue o haih to ka mik mah hnuk toepsoep na ai maw?
3Give now a pledge, be surety for me with Thyself; who else is there that will strike hands with me?
3Vaihi kai han kacak lokkamhaih to na paek ah, mi hoiah maw ban kang sinh hoi han?
4For Thou hast hid their heart from understanding; therefore shalt Thou not exalt them.
4Nihcae panoekhaih palung mik na maengsak boeh; to pongah nihcae to pakoeh hmah.
5He that denounceth his friends for the sake of flattery, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
5Ampui aling kami loe, a caanawk mikmaeng pae tih.
6He hath made me also a byword of the people; and I am become one in whose face they spit.
6Kaminawk mah kasae thuih hanah anih mah ang suek, kai loe minawk mah mikhmai ah tamtui pathoih ih kami ah ka oh.
7Mine eye also is dimmed by reason of vexation, and all my members are as a shadow.
7Palungset loiah ka mik amtueng ai boeh, ka takpum boih tahlip baktiah ni oh boeh.
8Upright men are astonished at this, and the innocent stirreth up himself against the godless.
8Toenghaih hoi khosah kaminawk loe hae hmuen pongah dawnrai o tih, zaehaih tawn ai kaminawk loe angsah cop kaminawk nuiah palungphui o tih.
9Yet the righteous holdeth on his way, and he that hath clean hands waxeth stronger and stronger.
9Toe katoeng kami loe a caehhaih loklam ah caeh poe ueloe, ban ciim kami loe thacak aep aep tih.
10But as for you all, do ye return, and come now; and I shall not find a wise man among you.
10Nangcae thungah palungha kami maeto doeh ka hnu ai pongah, vaihi amlaem o boih lai ah.
11My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
11Kai ih aninawk loe laemh boeh moe, ka sak atimhaih hoi palung thungah ka poek ih hmuen doeh amro ving boeh.
12They change the night into day; the light is short because of darkness.
12Hae kaminawk mah aqum to khodai ah paqoi o moe, khoving naah khodai loe zoi boeh, tiah thuih o.
13If I look for the nether-world as my house; if I have spread my couch in the darkness;
13Taprong loe kai ih im ni, tiah ka zing; vinghaih thungah iihhaih kahni to ka baih.
14If I have said to corruption: 'Thou art my father', to the worm: 'Thou art my mother, and my sister';
14Amrohaih khaeah, Nang loe kam pa ni, tiah ka naa; sadong khaeah, Nang loe kam no hoi ka tanu ah na oh, tiah ka naa.
15Where then is my hope? And as for my hope, who shall see it?
15Vaihi ka oephaih naa ah maw oh? Mi mah maw ka oephaih to hnu tih?
16They shall go down to the bars of the nether-world, when we are at rest together in the dust.
16Nihcae loe kai hoi nawnto maiphu thungah anghak hanah, taprong khongkha thungah caeh o tathuk tih, tiah a naa.
