Job 17

King James Version with Apocrypha

Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)

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

1Ka mueihla he pat tih ka khohnin loh khum coeng, kai hamla coeng tih phuel om coeng.

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

2Ka taengah a omsasaipat pai moenih a? Te dongah amih koek ham khaw ka mik ah rhaeh pai saeh.

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

3Kai kah rhikhang he namah hamla khueh laeh. Anih te ulong ka kut dongla a khoom eh?

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

4Amih kah lungbuei te lungmingnah lamloh na khoem pah coeng. Te dongah na pomsang sak mahpawh.

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

5Khoyo la a hui a phoe vaengah a ca rhoek mik tah hma coeng.

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

6Kai he pilnam kah a thuidoek la n'khueh tih maelhmai dongkah timthoeihnah la ka om.

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

7Ka mik he konoinah neh hmang coeng tih ka pumrho he khokhawn bangla boeih om.

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

8Te dongah aka thuem khaw a pong sak tih lailak taengah ommongsitoe a haenghang sak.

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

9Tedae aka dueng loh amah longpuei te a tuuk vetih a kut cim khaw a thaa sai ni.

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

10Amih te boeih na mael sak uh coeng. Na pawk uh to cakhaw nangmih ah hlangcueih ka hmu mahpawh.

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

11Ka khohnin loh thok coeng. Ka thinko kah kohnek la ka poeknah mawth coeng.

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

12Khoyin te khothaih la a khueh tih, a hmuep tom te vangnah neh a yoei sak.

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

13Saelkhui te ka im bangla ka lamtawn tih, hmaisuep ah ka rhaenghmuen ka saelh.

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

14Vaam taengah, “A pa nang,” ka ti nah tih a rhit taengah, “A nu neh ka ngannu,” ka ti nah coeng.

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

15Te dongah menim ka ngaiuepnah tih ka ngaiuepnah he unim aka mae?

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

16Saelkhui thohka te suntla vetih laipi khuila rhenten n'ael aya?,” a ti.
