Job 40
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said:
1Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Job te a voek tih,
2Shall he that reproveth contend with the Almighty? He that argueth with God, let him answer it.
2Tlungthang te a ho a? Cawtkung aka tluung te Pathen loh doo nawn saeh,” a ti nah.
3Then Job answered the LORD, and said:
3Te vaengah Job loh BOEIPA te a doo tih,
4Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer Thee? I lay my hand upon my mouth.
4“Kai n'kosinah coeng he. Namah te metlam kan thuung eh? Ka kut he ka ka dongla ka puei mai coeng.
5Once have I spoken, but I will not answer again; yea, twice, but I will proceed no further.
5Vai ka thui vaengah ka doo voel pawt dongah pabae nen khaw ka koei mahpawh,” a ti nah.
6Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:
6Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Job te hlipuei khui lamloh a voek tih,
7Gird up thy loins now like a man; I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto Me.
7Hlang bangla na pumpu te yen laeh. Nang kan dawt vaengah kai m'ming sak.
8Wilt thou even make void My judgment? Wilt thou condemn Me, that thou mayest be justified?
8Ka laitloeknah he na phae tang aya? Na tang hamla kai nan boe sak aya?
9Or hast thou an arm like God? And canst thou thunder with a voice like Him?
9Nang te Pathen bangla na ban om tih ol neh rhaek bangla na hum a?
10Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency, and array thyself with glory and beauty.
10Hoemdamnah neh na oeknah te oi laeh lamtah mueithennah neh rhuepomnah te bai laeh.
11Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath; and look upon every one that is proud, and abase him.
11Na thinpom thintoek te sah laeh. Thinthah boeih te so lamtah anih te kunyun sak laeh.
12Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
12Thinthah boeih te so lah. Anih te kunyun sak lamtah halang rhoek khaw a hmui la daep laeh.
13Hide them in the dust together; bind their faces in the hidden place.
13Amih te laipi khuila det lamtah a thuh khuiah khaw a maelhmai te rhenten poi pah.
14Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
14Te vaengah na bantang kut loh nang te n'khang thai tila kai loh nang kang uem van ni.
15Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
15Behemoth te namah neh kan saii tih saelhung bangla sulrham ka cah coeng ke.
16Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the stays of his body.
16A thadueng te a cinghen ah, a thahuem te a bungko kah thanal dongah om coeng ke.
17He straineth his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
17A mai te lamphai thing bangla a hloih tih a phaiboeng, a phaiboeng te a tharhui loh a cut pah.
18His bones are as pipes of brass; his gristles are like bars of iron.
18A rhuh te rhohum tuicawn bangla, a songrhuh khaw thi boeng bangla om.
19He is the beginning of the ways of God; He only that made him can make His sword to approach unto him.
19Anih tah Pathen kah longpuei a tongnah om tih, anih aka saii long ni a cunghang a tawn thai.
20Surely the mountains bring him forth food, and all the beasts of the field play there.
20Tlang kah cakkoi te anih taengla a phueih uh tih kohong mulhing boeih te pahoi luem uh.
21He lieth under the lotus-trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
21Yinhnuk ah hlip hmuila capu neh nongtui dongah yalh.
22The lotus-trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
22Anih te hlip kah a hlipkhup loh a dah tih anih te soklong tuirhi loh a vael.
23Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not; he is confident, though the Jordan rush forth to his mouth.
23Tuiva loh a kawt akhaw a tamto moenih. Jordan loh a ka a hoh pa akhaw a omtoem.
24Shall any take him by his eyes, or pierce through his nose with a snare?
24Anih te a mik neh a loh tih hlaeh neh a hnarhong a toeh a?
