Job 27
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1And Job again took up his parable, and said:
1Job mah a thuih ih patahhaih lok to thuih patomh poe;
2As God liveth, who hath taken away my right; and the Almighty, who hath dealt bitterly with me;
2ka toenghaih ang lak pae ving; ka hinghaih patangkhangsak, Thacak Sithaw loe hing pongah,
3All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils,
3ka hinghaih takhi ka takpum thungah oh nathung, Sithaw ih takhi ka hnaqong thungah oh nathung,
4Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, neither shall my tongue utter deceit;
4ka pahni mah kahoih ai hmuen to thui mak ai, ka palai mah alinghaih lok thui mak ai.
5Far be it from me that I should justify you; till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.
5Nang loe na toeng tiah, thuih han ih lok to Sithaw mah pakaa nasoe; ka duek khoek to ka toenghaih ka pahnawt sut mak ai.
6My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go; my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
6Ka toenghaih to kacakah ka patawnh, ka prawt ving mak ai; ka hing thung ka palung mah kai hae kasae thui mak ai.
7Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and let him that riseth up against me be as the unrighteous.
7Ka misanawk loe kasae kami ah om o nasoe loe, kai tuk han angthawk kaminawk loe katoeng ai kami ah om o nasoe.
8For what is the hope of the godless, though he get him gain, when God taketh away his soul?
8Angsah cop kami loe duek moe, Sithaw mah a hinghaih lak pae ving naah, oephaih timaw tawn vop tih?
9Will God hear his cry, when trouble cometh upon him?
9Anih nuiah raihaih phak naah, Sithaw mah anih qahhaih lok to tahngai pae maw?
10Will he have his delight in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?
10Anih loe Thacak Sithaw khaeah anghoe thai tih maw? Anih mah Sithaw to kawk khing tih maw?
11I will teach you concerning the hand of God; that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
11Sithaw thacakhaih to kang patuek han; Thacak Sithaw poekhaih thuih hanah kang phat mak ai.
12Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye become altogether vain?
12Khenah, nangmacae mah roe na hnuk o boeh; tipongah kavang ai lok to na thuih o loe?
13This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.
13Sithaw mah kasae kami han paek ih taham, kasae kami mah Thacak Sithaw khae hoi hnuk han koi qawk loe hae tiah oh;
14If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword; and his offspring shall not have bread enough.
14anih ih caanawk loe pop o parai cadoeh, sumsen hoi hum han ih ni oh o; anih ih caa patoeng kaminawk doeh caaknaek kakhawt ah tawn o mak ai.
15Those that remain of him shall be buried by pestilence, and his widows shall make no lamentation.
15Kahing kanghmat kaminawk loe duekhaih mah muek tih; a zu lamhmainawk loe qah o thai mak ai.
16Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
16Anih mah sumkanglung to maiphu baktiah tapop moe, khukbuennawk to tangphrung long baktiah sah langlacadoeh,
17He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
17a tawnh ih hmuen to katoeng kami mah ni angkhuk tih, zaehaih tawn ai kami mah phoisa to pazet tih.
18He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth which the keeper maketh.
18A sak ih im doeh bongpaha tabu baktiah om ueloe, misa toephaih im baktiah ni om tih.
19He lieth down rich, but there shall be not to gather; he openeth his eyes, and his wealth is not.
19Hmuenmae angraeng kami iih han angsong naah loe, hmuennawk tawn mang let mak ai boeh; anih mah mik padai naah, hmuenmaenawk anghmat o boih.
20Terrors overtake him like waters; a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
20Zitthok hmuen mah anih to tuipui baktiah uem ueloe, khoving ah takhi sae mah hmut boih tih.
21The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth; and it sweepeth him out of his place.
21Ni angyae bang ih takhi mah anih to hmuh moe, anghmat ving; a ohhaih ahmuen hoiah kaham takhi sae mah hmuh ving.
22Yea, it hurleth at him, and spareth not; he would fain flee from its power.
22Anih loe Sithaw ih ban thung hoiah loih han koeh, toe Sithaw mah tahmenhaih tawn ai ah anih to danpaek tih.
23Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
23To naah kaminawk mah ban tabaeng o thui tih, anih kawng kasae thui o ueloe, a ohhaih ahmuen hoiah haek o ving tih.
