Job 24
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1Why are times not laid up by the Almighty? And why do not they that know Him see His days?
1Tipongah Thacak Sithaw mah lokcaekhaih atue to khaek ai loe? Anih panoek kaminawk mah anih lokcaekhaih ani to panoek o ai maw?
2There are that remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed them.
2Thoemto kaminawk loe ramri to tahruet o; minawk ih tuunawk to a lomh pae o moe, angmacae hanah pacah o.
3They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.
3Naqahnawk ih laa hrang to huih pae o ving moe, lamhmai ih maitaw tae to paawng ih hmuen baktiah lak pae o ving.
4They turn the needy out of the way; the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
4Caaknaek tawn ai kaminawk to loklam amkhraeng o sak, long ah kaom amtang kaminawk loe nawnto anghawk o.
5Behold, as wild asses in the wilderness they go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food; the desert yieldeth them bread for their children.
5Khenah, amtang kaminawk loe toksak hanah taw ih laa hrangnawk baktiah a caeh o; khawnthaw ah caeh o moe, angmacae hoi a caanawk hanah taw ah caaknaek pakrong o.
6They cut his provender in the field; and they despoil the vineyard of the wicked.
6Nihcae loe lawk ah cang aah o moe, kahoih ai kaminawk ih misur thaih to pakhrik pae o.
7They lie all night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold.
7Nihcae loe khukbuen tawn o ai, bangkrai ah iih o; angqai naah angkhuk hanah tawn o ai.
8They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
8Mae ih khotui mah nihcae to bawh moe, abuephaih tawn o ai pongah, lungsong to takop o.
9There are that pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor;
9Amno ih tahnutui kanae ampa tawn ai nawkta to a lak pae o, amtang kaminawk to hmuenmae paawng o sak.
10So that they go about naked without clothing, and being hungry they carry the sheaves;
10Nihcae to khukbuen tawn ai bangkrai ah caeh o sak moe, zok amthlam kami ih cangqui to lomh pae o ving;
11They make oil within the rows of these men; they tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
11nihcae loe lawk ah olive tui pasawh o, misurtui doeh pasawh o; toe tui anghaehhaih hoiah patangkhang o.
12From out of the populous city men groan, and the soul of the wounded crieth out; yet God imputeth it not for unseemliness.
12Vangpui thung hoiah kaminawk hanghaih lok to tacawt, ahmaa kacaa kaminawk loe tahmen hnikhaih hoiah hangh o; toe nihcae tahmen hnikhaih to Sithaw mah tidoeh sah pae ai.
13These are of them that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
13Nihcae loe aanghaih lokaek kaminawk ah oh o; nihcae loe aanghaih loklam to panoek o ai, to loklam doeh pazui o ai.
14The murderer riseth with the light, to kill the poor and needy; and in the night he is as a thief.
14Kami humnawk loe khawnthaw ah angthawk o moe, caaknaek tawn ai kami hoi amtang kaminawk to hum o pacoengah, aqum ah hmuenmae to paquk o.
15The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying: 'No eye shall see me'; and he putteth a covering on his face.
15Zu sava laep ah zaehaih sak koeh kami loe khoving to a zing kongh, a mikhmai to khuk khoep, mi mah doeh na hnu mak ai, tiah a poek.
16In the dark they dig through houses; they shut themselves up in the day-time; they know not the light.
16Nihcae loe khoving ah minawk ih im to muk o, khodai ah loe imthung ah anghawk o; aanghaih to panoek o ai.
17For the shadow of death is to all of them as the morning; for they know the terrors of the shadow of death.
17Khoving loe nihcae ih ampui ah oh pongah, khodai loe nihcae han duekhaih tahlip ah oh pae lat.
18He is swift upon the face of the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth; he turneth not by the way of the vineyards.
18To baktih kahoih ai kaminawk loe tui nui ih kakhoem tui apoep baktiah ni oh o; long tahamsethaih loe nihcae ih taham ah oh; to pongah misur takha caehhaih lam taengah mi doeh caeh ai boeh.
19Drought and heat consume the snow waters; so doth the nether-world those that have sinned.
19Ni kabae hoi khokhaahaih mah dantui amkawsak baktih toengah, taprong mah kazae kaminawk to amrosak.
20The womb forgetteth him; the worm feedeth sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and unrighteousness is broken as a tree.
20Zok mah anih to pahnet ueloe, sadong mah anih to rawkcak kahoih ah caa tih; anih to mi mah doeh panoek mak ai boeh; sethaih loe thing baktiah hmawn tih boeh.
21He devoureth the barren that beareth not; and doeth not good to the widow.
21Kahoih ai kami loe caa kaak nongpata to pakrong, lamhmai tahmenhaih doeh tawn ai.
22He draweth away the mighty also by his power; he riseth up, and he trusteth not his own life.
22Thacak kami to Sithaw mah a thacakhaih hoiah amrosak; nihcae thacak naah, kaminawk khosak monghaih tawn o ai.
23Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth, yet His eyes are upon their ways.
23Sithaw mah anih to kamongah omsak doeh om tih; toe Angraeng mah a caehhaih loklam to khet parui pae.
24They are exalted for a little while, and they are gone; yea, they are brought low, they are gathered in as all others, and wither as the tops of the ears of corn.
24Nawnetta thungah ni kasang ah pakoeh o, to pacoengah loe anghmat o boih; atlim ah zaeh tathuk moe, minawk kalah baktiah hinghaih to lak pae pacoengah, cangqui baktiah khaeh o.
25And if it be not so now, who will prove me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
25Vaihi hae tiah om ai nahaeloe, ka thuih ih lok loe amsawn ni, avanghaih tidoeh om ai, tiah mi mah maw amtuengsak thai tih? tiah a thuih.
