Job 5
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Call now; is there any that will answer thee? And to which of the holy ones wilt thou turn?
1Khue laeh nang aka doo om nim? U hlangcim taengah na mael ve.
2For anger killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
2Aka ang te konoinah loh a ngawn tih hloih loh thatlainah a duek sak.
3I have seen the foolish taking root; but suddenly I beheld his habitation cursed.
3Aka ang loh a yung a hlak ka hmuh vaengah a tolkhoeng buengrhuet ka tap.
4His children are far from safety, and are crushed in the gate, with none to deliver them.
4A ca rhoek te khangnah lamloh lakhla tih vongka ah a phop uh vaengah aka huul om pawh.
5Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the snare gapeth for their substance.
5A cangah te bungpong loh a caak pah tih hlinghang lamkah a loh dae a thadueng te tuihal loh a mam pah.
6For affliction cometh not forth from the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
6Laipi lamloh boethae thoeng pawt tih diklai lamloh thakthaenah a poe bal moenih.
7But man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
7Tedae hlang he thakthaenah khuiah a sak tih rhaek ca rhoek bangla ding hang.
8But as for me, I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause;
8Tedae kai tah Pathen te ka toem vetih Pathen taengah ni ka dumlai khaw ka hal eh.
9Who doeth great things and unsearchable, marvellous things without number;
9A len la a saii vaengah khobaerhambae te khenah lek pawh, tae lek pawh.
10Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields;
10Diklai hman ah khotlan a paek tih lohma li ah tui a hlah.
11So that He setteth up on high those that are low, and those that mourn are exalted to safety.
11Tlarhoel rhoek te hmuensang ah a khueh tih kopang rhoek te khangnah khuila a hoeptlang.
12He frustrateth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands can perform nothing substantial.
12Aka thaai kah kopoek te a phae tih a kut loh lungming cueihnah saii thai pawh.
13He taketh the wise in their own craftiness; and the counsel of the wily is carried headlong.
13Aka cueih khaw amah kah rhaithinah neh a tuuk tih aka hlang hnuei kah cilsuep he hma paitok.
14They meet with darkness in the day-time, and grope at noonday as in the night.
14Khothaih ah a hmuep neh hum uh tih khothun ah khoyin bangla a phatuem uh.
15But He saveth from the sword of their mouth, even the needy from the hand of the mighty.
15Khodaeng te amih ka dongkah cunghang lamlong khaw tlungluen kut lamloh a khang.
16So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
16Te dongah tattloel ham ngaiuepnah om dae dumlai loh amah ka a buem.
17Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth; therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.
17Pathen loh a toel hlanghing he a yoethen tih Tlungthang kah thuituennah sit boeh.
18For He maketh sore, and bindeth up; He woundeth, and His hands make whole.
18Amah loh a tloh sak dae a hma te a poi pah tih a kut dongah hoeih uh.
19He will deliver thee in six troubles; yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
19Citcai parhuk lamloh nang n'huul vetih a parhih ah yoethae loh nang soah m'ben mahpawh.
20In famine He will redeem thee from death; and in war from the power of the sword.
20Nang te khokha vaengah dueknah lamloh, caemtloek vaengah cunghang kut lamloh n'lat ni.
21Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue; neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
21Olka dongkah rhuihet lamloh n'thuh vetih rhoelrhanah a pai vaengah na rhih mahpawh.
22At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh; neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
22Rhoelrhanah khui neh khokha rhamling khuiah na luem vetih diklai mulhing te na rhih mahpawh.
23For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field; and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
23Na paipi te khohmuen lungto taengah om vetih kohong mulhing loh nang taengah n'thuung ni.
24And thou shalt know that thy tent is in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt miss nothing.
24Na dap kah rhoepnah te na ming vetih na tolkhoeng na soep vaengah na hmaai mahpawh.
25Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
25Na tiingan muep na ming vetih na cadil cahma te khohmuen baelhing bangla om ni.
26Thou shalt come to thy grave in a ripe age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in its season.
26A tue vaengkah canghlom a coi bangla na hminkhah vaengah phuel te na paan ni.
27Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
27He tah amah la n'khe uh tangloeng he ne. He he hnatun lamtah namah loh namah dongah ming,” a ti nah.
