Job 6
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Then Job answered and said:
1Job loh a doo tih,
2Oh that my vexation were but weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances altogether!
2Ka konoinah ka thuek, ka thuek vetih ka talnah he cooi dongah ka tloeng rhenten koinih.
3For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas; therefore are my words broken.
3Tuitunli kah laivin lakah n'nan ngawn coeng. Te dongah ka ol he lawn coeng.
4For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof my spirit drinketh up; the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
4Tlungthang thaltang dongah a sue te ka khuiah ka mueihla loh a mam. Pathen kah hihhamnah loh kai taengah rhong a pai.
5Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?
5Kohong marhang khaw baelhing soah pang tih, vaito te a kamvuelh soah rhung bal nim?
6Can that which hath no savour be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the juice of mallows?
6Lungkaeh om kolla ankak a caak tih aiduei dakda dongah a hlihlim om aya?
7My soul refuseth to touch them; they are as the sickness of my flesh.
7Amih te ka hinglu loh ben ham a aal tih ka buh khaw kolet la om.
8Oh that I might have my request, and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
8Ka huithuinah he ulong m'paek vetih a thoeng eh? Tedae ka ngaiuepnah he Pathen long ni m'paek eh?
9Even that it would please God to crush me; that He would let loose His hand, and cut me off!
9Pathen he mulmet vetih kai he m'phop, a kut a hlam vetih kai m'mueluem mako.
10Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would exult in pain, though He spare not; for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
10Te vaengah kai ham hloephloeinah om dae lah sue. Te vaengah bungtloh khuiah ka uem mako. Hlangcim te ka phah pawt bangla n'lungma sak pawt mako.
11What is my strength, that I should wait? and what is mine end, that I should be patient?
11Ka ngaiuep ham ka thadueng khaw menim? Ka hinglu ka hlawt ham ka hmailong khaw menim?
12Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
12Ka thadueng he lungto thadueng nim? Ka saa he rhohumsen a?
13Is it that I have no help in me, and that sound wisdom is driven quite from me?
13Kai ham he kamah kah bomnah om ngawn pawt tih lungming cueihnah khaw kai lamloh a heh coeng.
14To him that is ready to faint kindness is due from his friend, even to him that forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
14Ngaidaeng loh tlungthang hinyahnah a hnoo vaengah pataeng a baerhoep taengkah sitlohnah a dang van.
15My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, as the channel of brooks that overflow,
15Ka manuca rhoek khaw soklong bangla la hnukpoh tih sokca soklong bangla kak.
16Which are black by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow hideth itself;
16Amih te vueltling loh a nu sak tih vuelsong a yut pah.
17What time they wax warm, they vanish, when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
17Kho a awlh vaengah a bae neh huu tih amah hmuen lamloh kak uh.
18The paths of their way do wind, they go up into the waste, and are lost.
18A caehlong longpuei a hoi uh tih hinghong la a caeh dongah milh uh.
19The caravans of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them —
19Tema caehlong kah rhoek loh a paelki uh tih, Sheba lambong amih ham a lamtawn uh.
20They were ashamed because they had hoped; they came thither, and were confounded.
20A pangtung uh dongah yak uh tih a taengla a pawk uh akhaw a hmai tal.
21For now ye are become His; ye see a terror, and are afraid.
21A taengah a hong la na om uh van coeng dongah rhihkoi na hmuh vaengah na rhih uh.
22Did I say: 'Give unto me'? or: 'Offer a present for me of your substance'?
22“Kai taengah m'pae uh lamtah na thadueng lamloh kai hamla kapbaih pae uh.
23or: 'Deliver me from the adversary's hand'? or: 'Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors'?
23Rhal kut lamloh kai n'loeih sak lamtah hlanghaeng kut lamloh kai n'lat uh,” ka ti noek a?
24Teach me, and I will hold my peace; and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
24Kai n'thuinuet lamtah ka ngam bitni. Metla ka palang khaw kai he m'ming sak uh.
25How forcible are words of uprightness! But what doth your arguing argue?
25Balae tih hlang dueng ol rhap rhap a cal? Nangmih lamloh a tluung ham khaw balae a tluung?
26Do ye hold words to be an argument, but the speeches of one that is desperate to be wind?
26Olthui te tluung hamla na moeh uh nama? Ol khaw khohli bangla talsae mai pawn ni.
27Yea, ye would cast lots upon the fatherless, and dig a pit for your friend.
27Cadah ham aisat hmulung na naan vetih na hui hamla na tael pah nim?
28Now therefore be pleased to look upon me; for surely I shall not lie to your face.
28Tedae mulmet uh laeh, kai taengla mael uh. Nangmih maelhmai ah ka laithae nim?
29Return, I pray you, let there be no injustice; yea, return again, my cause is righteous.
29Mael uh laeh, dumlai la om uh boeh, mael uh laeh, koep mael uh laeh. Ka duengnah he a khuiah om.
30Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern crafty devices?
30Ka lai dongah dumlai om nim? Ka dang loh talnah yakming pawt maco.
