Job 30
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.
1Tedae a kum la kai lakah aka noe long khaw kai taengah luem uh coeng. Te rhoek kah a napa pataeng ka boiva kah ui taengah khueh ham ka hnawt lah mako.
2Yea, the strength of their hands, whereto should it profit me? men in whom ripe age is perished.
2Amih kut dongkah thadueng khaw kai taengah metlam a om? Amih te a hminkhah lamni a paltham.
3They are gaunt with want and famine; they gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of wasteness and desolation.
3Vaitahnah neh khokha rhamling lamkah pumhong loh hlaem vaengah khohaeng neh imrhong kah rhamrhae te a cilh.
4They pluck salt-wort with wormwood; and the roots of the broom are their food.
4Tangpuem dongkah baekkoi te a hlaek uh tih a buh la hlingcet yung a khueh.
5They are driven forth from the midst of men; they cry after them as after a thief.
5A nam lamloh a haek uh tih amih taengah hlanghuen bangla a o uh.
6In the clefts of the valleys must they dwell, in holes of the earth and of the rocks.
6Soklong cakhom kah laipi neh thaelsawk khui ah kho a sak.
7Among the bushes they bray; under the nettles they are gathered together.
7Tangpuem khuiah pang uh tih lota hmuiah poem uh.
8They are children of churls, yea, children of ignoble men; they were scourged out of the land.
8Aka ang ca rhoek neh ming mueh ca rhoek ni khohmuen lamloh a hawt uh.
9And now I am become their song, yea, I am a byword unto them.
9Te dongah amih kah rhotoeng la ka om coeng tih amih taengah ol la ka om.
10They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.
10Kai aka tuei rhoek tah kai lamloh lakhla uh tih ka mikhmuh ah timtui khaw tuem uh pawh.
11For He hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, and they have cast off the bridle before me.
11A lirhui lakah ka lirhui he pawl coeng. Te dongah kai he m'phaep tih ka mikhmuh ah kamrhui han tueih uh.
12Upon my right hand rise the brood; they entangle my feet, and they cast up against me their ways of destruction.
12Ka bantang kah hlangyoe loh tlai ka kho a kalh. Amih kah rhainah caehlong te kai taengah a picai uh.
13They break up my path, they further my calamity, even men that have no helper.
13Ka talnah khuiah ka hawn a mak uh tih, amih aka bom pawt khaw hoeikhang uh.
14As through a wide breach they come; in the midst of the ruin they roll themselves upon me.
14A puut aka len bangla ael uh tih a khohli rhamrhael hmuiah paluet uh.
15Terrors are turned upon me, they chase mine honour as the wind; and my welfare is passed away as a cloud.
15Kai soah mueirhih pai tih khohli bangla ka moeihoeihnah a hloem vaengah kai kah khangnah te khomai bangla a yah.
16And now my soul is poured out within me; days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
16Kai lamloh ka hinglu a kingling coeng tih phacip phabaem khohnin loh kai n'tuuk.
17In the night my bones are pierced, and fall from me, and my sinews take no rest.
17Khoyin ah ka rhuh te ka pum dong lamloh a cueh. Kai aka thuek he a dim moenih.
18By the great force of my disease is my garment disfigured; it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.
18Thadueng cungkuem dongah ka pueinak a phuelhthaih tih ka angkidung te rhawnmoep bangla ka vah.
19He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.
19Kai he dikpo khuila n'dong tih laipi neh hmaiphu bangla n'thuidoek.
20I cry unto Thee, and Thou dost not answer me; I stand up, and Thou lookest at me.
20Na taengah bomnah kam bih dae kai nan doo moenih. Ka pai akhaw kai he nan yakming moenih.
21Thou art turned to be cruel to me; with the might of Thy hand Thou hatest me.
21Kai soah a muen la na poeh tih na ban thaa neh kai nan konaeh thil.
22Thou liftest me up to the wind, Thou causest me to ride upon it; and Thou dissolvest my substance.
22Kai he khohli dongah nan phueih. Kai nan ngol thil vaengah kai nan paci sak tih lungming cueihnah a yawn.
23For I know that Thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.
23Mulhing boeih kah tingtunnah im la dueknah neh kai nan mael sak ham khaw ka ming.
24Surely none shall put forth his hand to a ruinous heap, neither because of these things shall help come in one's calamity,
24A yoethaenah khuiah bombihnah a yaak vaengah kut aka thueng he lairhok dongah a om moenih.
25If I have not wept for him that was in trouble, and if my soul grieved not for the needy.
25Khohnin a mangkhak dongah ka rhap tih khodaeng dongah ka hinglu a omdam moenih.
26Yet, when I looked for good, there came evil; and when I waited for light, there came darkness.
26A then ka lamtawn vaengah boethae ha pawk. Vangnah te ka ngaiuep vaengah a hmuep ha pai.
27Mine inwards boil, and rest not; days of affliction are come upon me.
27Ka bung he tlawk tih a kuemsuem moenih. Kai he phacip phabaem khohnin loh n'doe.
28I go mourning without the sun; I stand up in the assembly, and cry for help.
28Khomik a tal dongah maelhmai a hmuep la ka cet. Hlangping neh ka pai tih ka pang.
29I am become a brother to jackals, and a companion to ostriches.
29Pongui kah a manuca neh tuirhuk vanu kah a hui la ka om.
30My skin is black, and falleth from me, and my bones are burned with heat.
30Ka vin khaw kamah dong lamloh mu tih ka rhuh khaw kholing neh tlum coeng.
31Therefore is my harp turned to mourning, and my pipe into the voice of them that weep.
31Ka rhotoeng te nguekcoinah la, ka phavi rhah ol la poeh.
