Job 33
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, and hearken to all my words.
1Job, ka olthui hnatun dae lamtah ka ol boeih he hnakaeng thil laeh.
2Behold now, I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
2Ka ka ong coeng he. Ka ka khuikah ka lai loh a thui.
3My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart; and that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.
3Ka ol he ka lungbuei dueng lamkah tih ka hmuilai kah mingnah loh cimphan la a thui.
4The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty given me life.
4Pathen Mueihla loh kai n'saii tih Tlungthang kah hiil loh kai n'hing sak.
5If thou canst, answer thou me, set thy words in order before me, stand forth.
5Kai thuung hamla na coeng mak atah tawn uh lamtah ka mikhmuh ah pai laeh.
6Behold, I am toward God even as thou art; I also am formed out of the clay.
6Pathen taengah kai he nang ka bangla ka om tih kai khaw dikpo lamkah ni m'pet.
7Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my pressure be heavy upon thee.
7Kai he mueirhih moenih nang n'let sak mako. Ka kut long khaw nang n'nan thil mahpawh.
8Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words;
8Tedae ka hna ah na thui tih olthui ol khaw ka yaak.
9'I am clean, without transgression, I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me;
9“Ka cil tih boekoek ka khueh moenih. Ka caih tih kai taengah thaesainah om moenih.
10Behold, He findeth occasions against me, He counteth me for His enemy;
10Te cakhaw kai taengkah noihhainah a hmuh vaengah kai amah kah thunkha bangla a moeh.
11He putteth my feet in the stocks, He marketh all my paths.'
11Ka kho he hloong dongah a buen tih ka caehlong boeih a dawn,” na ti.
12Behold, I answer thee: In this thou art not right, that God is too great for man;
12Tedae na tang moenih he. Pathen he hlanghing lakah a len dongah nang te kan doo.
13Why hast thou striven against Him? seeing that He will not answer any of his words.
13Balae tih amah te na ho. A ol te boeih n'doo moenih ta.
14For God speaketh in one way, yea in two, though man perceiveth it not.
14Pathen loh pakhat la a thui dae a hmuhming pawt atah hnavoei la a thui.
15In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
15Ih loh hlang a hnah vaengkah khoyin olphong mueimang ah khaw, thingkong dongkah a ngam vaengah khaw,
16Then He openeth the ears of men, and by their chastisement sealeth the decree,
16Hlang hna te a khui sak tih amih kah rhalrhingnah neh a daeng pah.
17That men may put away their purpose, and that He may hide pride from man;
17Hlang loh a khoboe lamkah a nong sak tih hlang lamkah koevoeinah a khuk pah.
18That He may keep back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
18A hinglu te vaam khui lamloh, a hingnah te pumcumnah loh a paan khui lamkah a hoeptlang.
19He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and all his bones grow stiff;
19A thingkong dongah nganboh neh a tluung tih tuituknah loh a rhuhrhong boeih te phat a thuek pah.
20So that his life maketh him to abhor bread, and his soul dainty food.
20A hingnah loh buh te khaw a hinglu loh hoehhamnah maeh khaw a lawt pah.
21His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones corrode to unsightliness.
21A saa te caphoei cuk bangla mueihmuh ah a khah tih a rhuh a hmuh pawt khaw a ming sak.
22Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit, and his life to the destroyers.
22A hinglu loh vaam khuila, a hingnah te aka duek rhoek taengla pawk.
23If there be for him an angel, an intercessor, one among a thousand, to vouch for a man's uprightness;
23Anih kah duengnah te hlang taengah aka puen la thawngkhat lamkah pakhat ngawn tah amah taengah puencawn oldoe om khaming.
24Then He is gracious unto him, and saith: 'Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.'
24Te dongah anih te a rhen mai vetih, 'Tlansum ka dang tih hlan kah aka suntla khui lamloh anih he doek laeh,’ ti mai koinih.
25His flesh is tenderer than a child's; he returneth to the days of his youth;
25A saa te camoe bangla noe vetih a cacawn tue vaengkah bangla saibawn suidae.
26He prayeth unto God, and He is favourable unto him; so that he seeth His face with joy; and He restoreth unto man his righteousness.
26Pathen taengah a thangthui vanbangla anih te a moeithen ta. A maelhmai te tamlung neh a hmuh vaengah tah anih te hlanghing taengah duengnah neh a mael sak.
27He cometh before men, and saith: 'I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not.'
27Hlang rhoek taengla a mae tih, “Ka tholh tih a thuem te a paihaeh sak dae kai taengah n'yook sak moenih.
28So He redeemeth his soul from going into the pit, and his life beholdeth the light.
28Kamah hinglu, hinglu van tah hlan a paan khui lamloh a lat. Te dongah ka hingnah neh a hingnah loh vangnah te hmu saeh.
29Lo, all these things doth God work, twice, yea thrice, with a man,
29He boeih he Pathen loh hlang taengah voei nit voei thum a saii ne.
30To bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
30Hlan khui lamkah a hinglu te hingnah khosae neh tue hamla a mael sak.
31Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me; hold thy peace, and I will speak.
31Job nang hnatung lamtah kai ol he hnatun. Hilphah lamtah kai loh kan thui eh.
32If thou hast any thing to say, answer me; speak, for I desire to justify thee.
32Kai nan thuung ham ol a om atah thui lah. Nang tang sak ham ka ngaih dongah ni.
33If not, hearken thou unto me; hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom.
33Kai taengkah he na hnatun pawt atah hilphah lamtah nang te cueihnah kan cang sak bitni,” a ti nah.
