Job 19
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Then Job answered and said:
1Job loh a doo tih,
2How long will ye vex my soul, and crush me with words?
2Me hil nim ka hinglu na pae sak vetih ol neh kai nan phop uh ve?
3These ten times have ye reproached me; ye are not ashamed that ye deal harshly with me.
3Voei rha ka hmai na thae sak uh coeng, kai nan toeh te na yak pawh.
4And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
4Ka taengah ka tholh a rhaeh pueng dongah ka palang tueng pataeng ngawn.
5If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach;
5Kai soah na pantai mai tih kai kokhahnah bangla kai taengah na tluung tueng pai.
6Know now that God hath subverted my cause, and hath compassed me with His net.
6Pathen loh kai n'khun sak tih amah kah tluum te ka kaepvai ah a vael.
7Behold, I cry out: 'Violence!' but I am not heard; I cry aloud, but there is no justice.
7Kuthlahnah te ka doek tih bomah ka bih cakhaw n'doo pawt dongah tiktamnah om pawh.
8He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and hath set darkness in my paths.
8Ka caehlong he a biing tih ka muk tloel. Ka hawn ah a hmuep a khueh.
9He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
9Kai kah thangpomnah te kai dong lamloh a pit tih ka lu dongkah rhuisam khaw a dul.
10He hath broken me down on every side, and I am gone; and my hope hath He plucked up like a tree.
10Kai kaepvai lamloh m'palet tih ka pongpa vaengah ka ngaiuepnah he thing bangla a puen.
11He hath also kindled His wrath against me, and He counteth me unto Him as one of His adversaries.
11A thintoek he kai taengah a sai vaengah kai he amah taengah a rhal bangla m'moeh.
12His troops come on together, and cast up their way against me, and encamp round about my tent.
12Anih kah caem te rhenten ha pawk uh tih a longpuei te kai m'picai thil uh. Te phoeiah ka dap ah pin rhaeh uh.
13He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me.
13Ka manuca rhoek kai taeng lamloh lakhla coeng tih ka ming rhoek khaw kai lamloh kholong uh coeng.
14My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
14Ka yoei uh rhoek loh n'toeng uh tih ka ming uh rhoek loh kai n'hnilh uh coeng.
15They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger; I am become an alien in their sight.
15Ka im pah neh ka salnu rhoek loh kholong bangla kai m'poek uh. Amih mikhmuh ah kholong hlang la ka om.
16I call unto my servant, and he giveth me no answer, though I entreat him with my mouth.
16Ka sal te ka khue dae oei pawh. Anih te ka ka neh ka hloep.
17My breath is abhorred of my wife, and I am loathsome to the children of my tribe.
17Ka mueihla he ka yuu taengah a kholong pah tih ka bungko kah ka ca rhoek taengah khaw rhennah ka bih.
18Even urchins despised me; if I arise, they speak against me.
18Casenca rhoek long pataeng kai he n'hnaep uh tih, ka thoh vaengah kai he n'thui uh coeng.
19All my intimate friends abhor me; and they whom I loved are turned against me.
19Ka baecenol dongkah hlang boeih loh kai n'tuei uh tih ka lungnah he kamah taengah poehlip uh.
20My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
20Ka vin neh ka saa hil khaw ka rhuh dongla kap tih ka no dongkah nohli neh ka loeih.
21Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
21Ka hui rhoek nangmih loh kai n'rhen uh, kai n'rhen uh. Pathen kut loh kai he m'ben coeng.
22Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
22Balae tih Pathen bangla kai nan hloem uh. Kai saa lamkah khaw na hah uh hae mahpawh.
23Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
23Kai ol a daek uh te unim a paek bal. Cabu dongkah bangla a unim a paek vetih a taem uh ve?
24That with an iron pen and lead they were graven in the rock for ever!
24Thi cacung neh kawnlawk te lungpang dongah a yoeyah la a dae uh.
25But as for me, I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He will witness at the last upon the dust;
25Kai tah kai aka tlan te hing tih hmailong kah laipi dongah thoo ni tila ka ming.
26And when after my skin this is destroyed, then without my flesh shall I see God;
26Ka vin hnukah he hluep uh cakhaw, ka saa dongah Pathen ka hmuh bitni.
27Whom I, even I, shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another's. My reins are consumed within me.
27Kai kamah long khaw ka hmuh vetih ka mik long khaw a hmuh pueng ni. Te dongah ka rhang kah ka kuel loh rhalawt te a hue moenih.
28If ye say: 'How we will persecute him!' seeing that the root of the matter is found in me;
28Ka khuikah ol hnun a hmuh parhi te, “Anih te metlam n'hloem eh?” na ti uh akhaw,
29Be ye afraid of the sword; for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
29nangmih te cunghang hmai ah bakuep uh laeh. Amah dumlai tah dumlai bangla na ming uh hamla cunghang lamlothaesainah kosi om coeng,” a ti.
