Job 17

King James Version with Apocrypha

Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)

1My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.

1Ka hinghaih amro boeh moe, kai ih aninawk doeh laemh boeh; taprong mah ang zing kong boeh.

2Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?

2Nihcae mah kai ang pahnui o thuih na ai maw? Ang pahrue o haih to ka mik mah hnuk toepsoep na ai maw?

3Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?

3Vaihi kai han kacak lokkamhaih to na paek ah, mi hoiah maw ban kang sinh hoi han?

4For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them .

4Nihcae panoekhaih palung mik na maengsak boeh; to pongah nihcae to pakoeh hmah.

5He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.

5Ampui aling kami loe, a caanawk mikmaeng pae tih.

6He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.

6Kaminawk mah kasae thuih hanah anih mah ang suek, kai loe minawk mah mikhmai ah tamtui pathoih ih kami ah ka oh.

7Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.

7Palungset loiah ka mik amtueng ai boeh, ka takpum boih tahlip baktiah ni oh boeh.

8Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.

8Toenghaih hoi khosah kaminawk loe hae hmuen pongah dawnrai o tih, zaehaih tawn ai kaminawk loe angsah cop kaminawk nuiah palungphui o tih.

9The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.

9Toe katoeng kami loe a caehhaih loklam ah caeh poe ueloe, ban ciim kami loe thacak aep aep tih.

10But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.

10Nangcae thungah palungha kami maeto doeh ka hnu ai pongah, vaihi amlaem o boih lai ah.

11My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.

11Kai ih aninawk loe laemh boeh moe, ka sak atimhaih hoi palung thungah ka poek ih hmuen doeh amro ving boeh.

12They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.

12Hae kaminawk mah aqum to khodai ah paqoi o moe, khoving naah khodai loe zoi boeh, tiah thuih o.

13If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.

13Taprong loe kai ih im ni, tiah ka zing; vinghaih thungah iihhaih kahni to ka baih.

14I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.

14Amrohaih khaeah, Nang loe kam pa ni, tiah ka naa; sadong khaeah, Nang loe kam no hoi ka tanu ah na oh, tiah ka naa.

15And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?

15Vaihi ka oephaih naa ah maw oh? Mi mah maw ka oephaih to hnu tih?

16They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.

16Nihcae loe kai hoi nawnto maiphu thungah anghak hanah, taprong khongkha thungah caeh o tathuk tih, tiah a naa.
