King James Version with Apocrypha
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
1To naah Teman acaeng Eliphaz mah,
2Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
2palungha kami loe angmah han ih ni atho oh, kami loe Sithaw han amekhaih oh maw?
3Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him , that thou makest thy ways perfect?
3Na toenghaih mah Thacak Sithaw anghoesak tih maw? Coek koi om ai tuinuen hoihaih rang hoiah anih han tih amekhaih maw oh?
4Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?
4Sithaw ka zit pongah anih mah ang thuitaek, tiah na poek maw? Anih loe lokcaekhaih ahmuen ah nang hoi nawnto caeh tih maw?
5Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
5Na zaehaih loe paroeai len, na zaehaih loe kroek laek ai pop pongah na ai maw hae tiah na oh?
6For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
6Nang loe nam nawkamyanawk ih hmuenmae to na lak pae, nihcae ih khukbuen to na khringh pae moe, bangkrai ah na suek.
7Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
7Angpho kami tuinaek hanah na paek ai, zok amthlam kami doeh buh na pacah ai.
8But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.
8Thacak kami loe long to a tawnh; khingya koi kaom kami loe to ah khosak.
9Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
9Toe lamhmainawk to bangkrai ah na patoeh ving moe, ampa tawn ai kaminawk ih ban to nang khaehsak.
10Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;
10To pongah ni nang loe thaangnawk mah ang takui o khoep moe, zithaih mah raihaih ang paek;
11Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.
11to tih ai boeh loe na hnu thai ai ih, vinghaih mah raihaih ang paek moe, paroeai pop tuinawk mah ang uem.
12Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
12Sithaw loe kasang van ah na ai maw oh? Van ih cakaehnawk loe nasetto maw sang o, tiah khen ah!
13And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
13Toe nang mah loe, Sithaw mah kawbangmaw panoek tih? Anih loe kathah tamai kamnum thung hoiah lokcaek thai tih maw?
14Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
14Kathah parai tamai mah anih to khuk khoep pongah, anih mah hnu mak ai; anih loe van amhaehaih loklam ranui ah ni amkaeh, tiah na thuih.
15Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
15Kasae kaminawk caehhaih loklam kangquem to na pazui han maw?
16Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:
16Nihcae loe atue akoep ai naah amro o moe, nihcae angdoethaih ahmuen doeh tui mah lak pae king.
17Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?
17Nihcae mah Sithaw khaeah, Kaicae hae na caeh taak ah; Thacak Sithaw mah kaicae han timaw sah thai tang tih, tiah thuih o.
18Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
18Sithaw mah kahoih hmuen hoiah nihcae ih im to koisak; toe kai loe kasae kaminawk ih poekhaih to kang qoi taak.
19The righteous see it , and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.
19Nihcae amrohaih to katoeng kaminawk mah hnuk o naah, anghoe o; zaehaih tawn ai kaminawk mah nihcae to pahnui o thuih.
20Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
20Kaicae ih misanawk loe amro o tangtang boeh, kanghmat nihcae ih hmuennawk doeh hmai mah kangh boih boeh.
21Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.
21Sithaw khae ang paek o ah loe, anih hoi angdaeh oh; to tiah na sak o nahaeloe nang khaeah khosak hoihaih angzo tih.
22Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
22Anih pakha thung hoi tacawt daan to talawk ah loe, anih ih lok to na palung thungah khrum ah.
23If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
23Thacak Sithaw khaeah nam laem o nahaeloe, anih mah na raemh let tih; na ohhaih kahni imthung hoiah na sakpazaehaih to takhoe ving nahaeloe,
24Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
24sui to maiphu baktih, Ophir ih sui to tuipui ih thlung baktiah na patung tih.
25Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
25Ue, Thacak Sithaw loe nang ih sui ah om ueloe, atho kana sumkanglung paroeai na tawn tih.
26For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
26To tiah nahaeloe Thacak Sithaw pongah anghoehaih na tawn ueloe, Sithaw to na doeng tahang tih.
27Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
27Anih khaeah lawk na thuih naah, anih mah na tahngai pae tih; to tiah lokkamhaih to na koepsak tih.
28Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
28Na patoep ih hmuen to angcoeng ueloe, na caehhaih loklam to aang tih.
29When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
29Kaminawk pakhrak tathuk naah, nang loe pakoehhaih ah ka oh, tiah na thui tih; mi tlim ah khosah kami loe Sithaw mah pahlong tih.
30He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
30Anih mah zaehaih tawn kami to pahlong tih; kaciim na ban hoiah anih to pahlong tih, tiah a naa.
