Job 19
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1Then Job answered and said:
1To pacoengah Job mah,
2How long will ye vex my soul, and crush me with words?
2kai poek nang patang o sak, nasetto maw lok hoiah nang pacaekthlaek o han vop?
3These ten times have ye reproached me; ye are not ashamed that ye deal harshly with me.
3Vai hato nang zoeh o boeh; azathaih tawn ai ah panoek vai ai ih kami baktiah nang zoeh o.
4And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
4Sakpazaehaih ka tawnh cadoeh, ka sakpazaehaih loe kaimah nuiah ni krak.
5If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach;
5Nangcae loe kai ni nam oek o thuih, a sak ih zaehaih pongah ni azathaih hoiah oh, tiah nang naa o:
6Know now that God hath subverted my cause, and hath compassed me with His net.
6toe kai loe Sithaw mah ni amtimsak moe, anih ih thaang pongah ka manh, tito panoek oh.
7Behold, I cry out: 'Violence!' but I am not heard; I cry aloud, but there is no justice.
7Khenah, ka sakpazaehaih thung hoiah ka hang; mi mah doeh tahngai ai; tha hoi ka hangh, toe toenghaih hoiah lokcaek kami om ai.
8He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and hath set darkness in my paths.
8Anih mah ka poeng thaih han ai ah ka caehhaih loklam to pakaa khoep, anih mah ka caehhaih loklam ah vinghaih to suek.
9He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
9Ka lensawkhaih to anih mah ang khringh pae moe, ka lu nui ih lumuek to ang lak pae ving.
10He hath broken me down on every side, and I am gone; and my hope hath He plucked up like a tree.
10Anih mah ahmuen kruek hoi ang boh pongah, kam ro boeh; anih mah ka oephaih to thing baktiah ang phongh pae ving.
11He hath also kindled His wrath against me, and He counteth me unto Him as one of His adversaries.
11Anih ih palung kabae to kai khaeah ang palai moe, kai hae a misa ah ang poek.
12His troops come on together, and cast up their way against me, and encamp round about my tent.
12Anih ih misatuh kaminawk loe, kai tuk hanah nawnto angzoh o moe, kai ih kahni im taeng boih ah atai o.
13He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me.
13Kam nawkamyanawk to kai khae hoi kangthla ah a ohsak moe, kam puinawk doeh panoek vai ai ih kami baktiah ni oh o.
14My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
14Ka canawknawk mah ang pahnawt o moe, kam puinawk mah ang pahnet o boeh.
15They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger; I am become an alien in their sight.
15Ka tamna nongpatanawk hoi ka imthung takohnawk mah angvin baktih, prae kalah kami baktiah ang khet o.
16I call unto my servant, and he giveth me no answer, though I entreat him with my mouth.
16Ka tamna to ka kawk naah, na pathim ai; tahmenhaih ka hnik cadoeh, na pathim ai boeh.
17My breath is abhorred of my wife, and I am loathsome to the children of my tribe.
17Kang hahhaih takhi loe ka zu koeh koiah om ai, ka caanawk hanah panuet thok hmuen ah oh boeh.
18Even urchins despised me; if I arise, they speak against me.
18Ue, nawktanawk mah ang patoek o, kang thawk tahang naah, ang pahnui o thuih.
19All my intimate friends abhor me; and they whom I loved are turned against me.
19Kam puinawk mah ang panuet o moe, ka palung ih kaminawk doeh ka misa ah angcoeng o ving boeh.
20My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
20Ka huh loe nganhin hoi angbet rap boeh moe, ka haa doeh angkhringh boeh.
21Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
21Aw kam puinawk, na tahmen oh, na tahmen oh; Sithaw mah ni ang boh.
22Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
22Tipongah Sithaw pacaekthlaek baktiah kai nang pacaekthlaek o loe? Kai ih angan hoiah zok nam hah o ai vop maw?
23Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
23Aw, ka loknawk hae pakuem o nasoe loe, nihcae mah cabu ah pathok o nasoe.
24That with an iron pen and lead they were graven in the rock for ever!
24Sum cacung hoiah tarik o nasoe loe, thlung nuiah dungzan ah tarik o poe nasoe!
25But as for me, I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He will witness at the last upon the dust;
25Kai akrangkung loe hing, tiah ka panoek; anih loe hnukkhuem atue boeng naah long ah angdoe tih;
26And when after my skin this is destroyed, then without my flesh shall I see God;
26ka nganhin amro moe, hae takpum hae amro ving cadoeh, ka taksa hoiah Sithaw to ka hnu vop tih;
27Whom I, even I, shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another's. My reins are consumed within me.
27anih to ka hnu tih; minawk mah hnuk ih na ai, kaimah roe mik hoiah ka hnu tih; ka palungthin mah zing kong boeh.
28If ye say: 'How we will persecute him!' seeing that the root of the matter is found in me;
28Nangcae mah, anih hae kawbangmaw pacaekthlaek han, anih zae nethaih kawbangmaw hnuk thai han? tiah na thuih o,
29Be ye afraid of the sword; for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
29sumsen to na zit o han oh, Sithaw palungphuihaih mah sumsen hoi danpaekhaih to tacawtsak, lokcaekhaih atue oh, tiah panoek oh, tiah a naa.
