Job 38
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:
1BOEIPA loh Job te hlipuei khui lamloh a doo tih,
2Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
2Mingnah aka tal olthui neh cilsuep aka hmuep sak te unim?
3Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto Me.
3Hlang bangla na pumpu yen lamtah nang kan dawt bangla kai he n'tueng laeh.
4Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast the understanding.
4Diklai ka suen vaengah melam na om? Yakmingnah na ming atah thui lah.
5Who determined the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who stretched the line upon it?
5U loh a khodang a khueh khaw na ming van nim? A soah rhilam aka yueng khaw unim?
6Whereupon were the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the corner-stone thereof,
6A buenhol te me dongah nim a buen tih, a bangkil lung te unim aka thuinuet?
7When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
7Mincang aisi rhoek rhenten tamhoe uh tih Pathen ca rhoek boeih yuhui uh.
8Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth, and issued out of the womb;
8Tuitunli te a bung lamloh a poh tih a coe vaengah thohkhaih neh a tlaeng.
9When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
9Kai loh cingmai kah a pueinak neh anih kah yinnah hni khaw ka khueh pah.
10And prescribed for it My decree, and set bars and doors,
10Ka oltlueh he anih ham ka tlueh pah tih thohkalh neh thohkhaih khaw ka khueh pah.
11And said: 'Thus far shalt thou come, but no further; and here shall thy proud waves be stayed'?
11He hil ka ti vaengah ha mop lamtah koei boeh. Na hoemdamnah tuiphu te he ah he khueh laeh.
12Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days began, and caused the dayspring to know its place;
12Namah tue vaengah mincang ke na uen a? Khothaih ke na ming tih amah hmuen ah khothaih a om khaw na ming.
13That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it?
13Te lamkah halang rhoek khoek ham neh diklai hmoi a tuuk sak ham khaw.
14It is changed as clay under the seal; and they stand as a garment.
14Dikpo kutbuen bangla poehlip tih pueinak bangla pai.
15But from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm is broken.
15Halang rhoek te amamih kah vangnah a hloh pah tih ban a thueng khaw a tlawt sak.
16Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? Or hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep?
16Tuitunli kah tuiput la na pawk tih tuidung kah khenah dongah na pongpa vai a?
17Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee? Or hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death?
17Nang taengah dueknah vongka rhoek ah uh tih dueknah hlipkhup vongka te na hmuh a?
18Hast thou surveyed unto the breadths of the earth? Declare, if thou knowest it all.
18Diklai hmuenka duela na yakming nim? A cungkuem la na ming atah thui lah.
19Where is the way to the dwelling of light, and as for darkness, where is the place thereof;
19Vangnah aka om longpuei he menim? Hmaisuep kah a hmuen he melae?
20That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?
20Te te amah khorhi la na thak van tih a im kah a hawn khaw na yakming van nim?
21Thou knowest it, for thou wast then born, and the number of thy days is great!
21Nang n'sak tih na khohnin kah a tarhing a puh daengah ni na ming pueng.
22Hast thou entered the treasuries of the snow, or hast thou seen the treasuries of the hail,
22Vuelsong thakvoh khuila na kun tih rhaelnu thakvoh na hmuh a?
23Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
23Te te rhal tue vaengkah ham khaw, caemrhal neh caemtloek tue vaengkah ham khaw ka tuem pueng.
24By what way is the light parted, or the east wind scattered upon the earth?
24Diklai ah kanghawn loh a taekyak tih, vangnah loh a tael longpuei te menim?
25Who hath cleft a channel for the waterflood, or a way for the lightning of the thunder;
25Tuilong lungpook ham neh rhaek ol ham longpuei aka tael te unim?
26To cause it to rain on a land where no man is, on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
26A khuiah tongpa aka om pawh khosoek neh hlang aka tal khohmuen ah khaw rhotui aka tlan sak la,
27To satisfy the desolate and waste ground, and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
27khohli rhamrhael neh imrhong aka hah sak la, toitlim annoe aka poe sak la om coeng.
28Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
28Khotlan te a napa om a? Buemtui tuicip te ulong a sak?
29Out of whose womb came the ice? And the hoar-frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
29Rhaelnu he u kah bungko lamkah nim a thoeng tih, vaan vueltling te ulong a sak?
30The waters are congealed like stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.
30Tui khaw lungto bangla thuh uh tih tuidung hman ah khal.
31Canst thou bind the chains of the Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
31Airhitbom kah omngaih omloe te na hlaengtang tih buhol phueihrhui khaw na hlawt thai aya?
32Canst thou lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season? Or canst thou guide the Bear with her sons?
32Mazzaroth aisi te amah tue vaengah na thoeng sak tih Ayish aisi te a ca rhoek neh na mawt a?
33Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens? Canst thou establish the dominion thereof in the earth?
33Vaan kah khosing te na ming atah amah kah laithuithainah te diklai ah na khueh a?
34Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?
34Na ol te khomai dongla na huel thai tih tuili tui te na khuk thai a?
35Canst thou send forth lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee: 'Here we are'?
35Rhaek na tueih vaengah cet uh tih nang taengah, “Kaimih la he,” a ti uh a?
36Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who hath given understanding to the mind?
36Kodang khuila cueihnah aka khueh te unim? Kopoek khuiah yakmingnah aka pae te unim?
37Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven,
37Cueihnah neh khomong aka tae te unim? Vaan tuitang aka thael te unim?
38When the dust runneth into a mass, and the clods cleave fast together?
38Me vaengah lae Laipi a hlawn la a hlom tih dikmuh a man sak?
39Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lioness? Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
39sathuengnu hamla maeh na mae pah tih sathuengca kah hingnah na tom pah a?
40When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?
40Me vaengah lae a khuisaek ah a ngam uh tih thingpuep khui ah a kol uh?
41Who provideth for the raven his prey, when his young ones cry unto God, and wander for lack of food?
41A sakah te vangak ham aka tawn pah te unim? A camoe, a camoe uh vaengah tah Pathen taengah bomnah a bih uh dae caak mueh la kho a hmang uh.
