Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Job again took up his parable, and said,
1Job loh amah kah a pom te a cong tih,
2“Oh that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me;
2“Kai he hlamat kah hla bangla aka khueh tih Pathen kah khohnin bangla kai aka tuem te unim?
3when his lamp shone on my head, and by his light I walked through darkness,
3Amah loh a hmaithoi te ka lu soah a thangthen tih amah kah vangnah nen ni a hmuep ah khaw ka caeh.
4as I was in my prime, when the friendship of God was in my tent,
4Ka cavaa tue vaengah khaw ka dap ah Pathen kah baecenol la ka om.
5when the Almighty was yet with me, and my children were around me,
5Tlungthang te kai taengah om pueng tih, ka kaepvai ka ca rhoek om.
6when my steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured out streams of oil for me,
6Ka khokan te suknaeng neh a hluk tih lungpang loh kai ham situi sokca a long sak.
7when I went out to the city gate, when I prepared my seat in the street.
7Vangpuei vongka ah ka thoeng tih toltung ah ka ngolhmuen cikngae sak.
8The young men saw me and hid themselves. The aged rose up and stood.
8Kai m'hmuh uh vaengah cadong rhoek te thuh uh. Patong rhoek khaw thoo uh tih pai uh.
9The princes refrained from talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
9Mangpa rhoek loh olthui te a phah uh tih a kut te a ka dongla a khueh uh.
10The voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.
10Rhaengsang rhoek ol te a phah tih a lai khaw a dang dongla kap.
11For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me, and when the eye saw me, it commended me,
11Hna loh a yaak vaengah kai n'uem tih mik loh a hmuh vaengah kai n'rhalrhing sak.
12because I delivered the poor who cried, and the fatherless also, who had no one to help him,
12Mangdaeng loh bomnah a bih tih cadah neh a taengah aka bom aka om pawt khaw ka loeih sak.
13the blessing of him who was ready to perish came on me, and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
13Hlang milh kah yoethennah te kai soah pai tih nuhmai kah lungbuei khaw ka tamhoe sak.
14I put on righteousness, and it clothed me. My justice was as a robe and a diadem.
14Duengnah te ka bai tih hnikul bangla kai n'khuk. Ka tiktamnah he ka sammuei nah ni.
15I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame.
15Mikdael taengah mik la, khokhaem taengah kho la ka om.
16I was a father to the needy. I researched the cause of him whom I didn’t know.
16Kai tah khodaeng taengah a napa la ka om tih ming pawt kah tuituknah te ka khe pah.
17I broke the jaws of the unrighteous and plucked the prey out of his teeth.
17Boethae kah pumcu te ka thuk pah tih a no lamkah maeh te ka voeih pah.
18Then I said, ‘I will die in my own house, I will count my days as the sand.
18Te dongah, “Ka bu ah ka pal mako,” ka ti tih laivin bangla khohnin ka puh.
19My root is spread out to the waters. The dew lies all night on my branch.
19Ka yung loh tui taengla a muk tih buemtui loh ka cangvuei dongah rhaeh.
20My glory is fresh in me. My bow is renewed in my hand.’
20Ka thangpomnah ka taengah thai tih ka lii ka kut dongah tinghil.
21“Men listened to me, waited, and kept silence for my counsel.
21Kai taengah a hnatun uh tih a lamtawn uh dongah ka cilsuep ham kuemsuem uh.
22After my words they didn’t speak again. My speech fell on them.
22Ka ol hnukah talh uh voel pawt tih kai olthui he amih soah tla.
23They waited for me as for the rain. Their mouths drank as with the spring rain.
23Kai ham tah khotlan bangla a lamtawn uh tih a ka loh tlankhol bangla a ang uh.
24I smiled on them when they had no confidence. They didn’t reject the light of my face.
24Amih taengah ka luem dae n'tangnah uh pawt tih ka maelhmai vangnah dongah khaw yalh uh pawh.
25I chose out their way, and sat as chief. I lived as a king in the army, as one who comforts the mourners.
25Amih kah longpuei te ka coelh tih boeilu la ka ngol. Caem lakli ah manghai bangla kho ka sak tih rhahdoe cangpoem akhaw a hloep.
