Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Then Job answered,
1Te phoeiah Job loh a doo tih,
2“I have heard many such things. You are all miserable comforters!
2“Te bang ol te muep ka yaak coeng. Nangmih boeih kah a hloep khaw thakthaenah ni.
3Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?
3Khohli ol te a bawtnah om a? Balae tih na doo hamla nang n'huek.
4I also could speak as you do. If your soul were in my soul’s place, I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you,
4Kai khaw nang bangla ka thui thai ta. Na hinglu te ka hinglu yueng la om koinih olthui neh nangmih te kan sun vetih ka lu lamloh nangmih taengah ka hinghuen van ni.
5but I would strengthen you with my mouth. The solace of my lips would relieve you.
5Ka ka neh nangmih te kan duel lah vetih ka hmuilai kah thaphohnah loh n'hoeptlang mako.
6“Though I speak, my grief is not subsided. Though I forbear, what am I eased?
6Ka thui akhaw ka thakkhoeihnah a rhoei moenih. Ka paa koinih kai lamloh metlam a caeh eh?
7But now, God, you have surely worn me out. You have made all my company desolate.
7Ka hlangboel boeih khaw na pong uh tih ka ngak ngawn coeng.
8You have shriveled me up. This is a witness against me. My leanness rises up against me. It testifies to my face.
8Kai nan tonga sak khaw laipai la om coeng. Ka laithae khaw ka taengah pai sak tih ka mikhmuh ah n'doo coeng.
9He has torn me in his wrath and persecuted me. He has gnashed on me with his teeth. My adversary sharpens his eyes on me.
9A thintoek loh a baeh tih kai soah a konaeh. Kai taengah a no te a tah coeng. Ka rhal loh kai soah a mik a huel.
10They have gaped on me with their mouth. They have struck me on the cheek reproachfully. They gather themselves together against me.
10A ka neh kai n'ang thil uh. Kokhahnah neh ka kam han taam uh tih kai taengah huek ha cu uh.
11God delivers me to the ungodly, and casts me into the hands of the wicked.
11Pathen loh kai he hlang thae taengla n'det tih halang kut dongla kai m'muek.
12I was at ease, and he broke me apart. Yes, he has taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces. He has also set me up for his target.
12Thayoeituipan la ka om vaengah kai m'phae. Ka rhawn ah n'khak tih kai he n'taekyak. Te dongah kai he amah ham kutnoek la m'pai sak coeng.
13His archers surround me. He splits my kidneys apart, and does not spare. He pours out my bile on the ground.
13Ka taengah a lithen rhoek loh m'vael uh tih ka kuel a khoh. Lungma a ti kolla diklai dongah ka hmuet phawt coeng.
14He breaks me with breach on breach. He runs at me like a giant.
14A puut hman ah a puut loh kai m'va. Hlangrhalh bangla kai taengah cu.
15I have sewed sackcloth on my skin, and have thrust my horn in the dust.
15Ka vin soah tlamhni ka hui tih ka ki khaw laipi neh ka poelyoe coeng.
16My face is red with weeping. Deep darkness is on my eyelids,
16Ka maelhmai he rhahnah neh nok la nok uh tih ka mikkhu khaw nut coeng.
17although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.
17Te cakhaw boethae ka kut ah kuthlahnah om pawt tih ka thangthuinah khaw cil.
18“Earth, don’t cover my blood. Let my cry have no place to rest.
18Diklai nang loh ka thii he vuei boeh. Ka pang ol he khaw hmuen om boel saeh.
19Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven. He who vouches for me is on high.
19Vaan ah pataeng kai kah laipai om tih ka hlangcal khaw hmuensang ah om coeng ke.
20My friends scoff at me. My eyes pour out tears to God,
20Ka hui khaw Pathen taengah kai kah hmuiyoi la om tih ka mik khaw pha coeng.
21that he would maintain the right of a man with God, of a son of man with his neighbor!
21Hlang capa tah hlang ham neh a hui ham Pathen taengah a thui ta.
22For when a few years have come, I will go the way of no return.
22Kum a tarhing ah ha pawk vetih ka mael voel mueh caehlong ah ka cet pawn ni.
