Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed the day of his birth.
1Te phoeiah Job a ka te a ang tih a khohnin te a tap.
2Job answered:
2Te vaengah Job loh a doo tih,
3“Let the day perish in which I was born, the night which said, ‘There is a boy conceived.’
3Amah kah thang nah khohnin neh, “Tongpa a yom,” a ti hlaem khaw paltham mai saeh.
4Let that day be darkness. Don’t let God from above seek for it, neither let the light shine on it.
4Te khohnin te a hmuep la om palueng vetih, Pathen loh a so la toem pawt mako. Te dongah vangnah loh te soah sae boel saeh.
5Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own. Let a cloud dwell on it. Let all that makes the day black terrify it.
5Te te hmaisuep neh dueknah hlipkhup loh suk saeh. A soah khomai yaal saeh lamtah, hlamhop hnin bangla let saeh.
6As for that night, let thick darkness seize on it. Let it not rejoice among the days of the year. Let it not come into the number of the months.
6Tekah hlaem te a hmuep loh lo saeh lamtah kum khat kah khohnin dongah a kohoe boel saeh, hla taenah dongah khaw kun boel saeh.
7Behold, let that night be barren. Let no joyful voice come therein.
7Tekah hlaem te pumhong la om saeh lamtah a khuiah omngaih laa cuen boel saeh ne.
8Let them curse it who curse the day, who are ready to rouse up leviathan.
8Khohnin thae aka phoei thil tih, a coekcoe la Leviathan aka haeng loh, te te tap saeh.
9Let the stars of its twilight be dark. Let it look for light, but have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the morning,
9Hlaemhmah aisi khaw hmuep saeh lamtah, khosae te lamtawn cakhaw sae boel saeh, mincang khosaeng te hmu boel saeh.
10because it didn’t shut up the doors of my mother’s womb, nor did it hide trouble from my eyes.
10Ka bungko thohkhaih te a khaih mai vetih thakthaenah he ka mik lamloh a thuh mai kolla.
11“Why didn’t I die from the womb? Why didn’t I give up the spirit when my mother bore me?
11Balae tih bung khuiah ka duek pawh. Bungko lamloh ka thoeng tih ka pal hae.
12Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should nurse?
12Balae tih khuklu loh kai n'doe, balae tih rhangsuk loh n'khut.
13For now I should have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,
13Ka yalh to palueng koinih la ka ip mong vetih ka duem lah ni.
14with kings and counselors of the earth, who built up waste places for themselves;
14Manghai rhoek neh a imrhong aka thoh diklai olrhoep rhoek taengla,
15or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver;
15Amih taengkah sui mangpa rhoek neh a im ah tangka aka hawn rhoek taengah.
16or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, as infants who never saw light.
16Rhumpu bangla n'thuh kanoek vetih vangnah aka hmuh noek pawh camoe rhoek bangla ka om pawt mako.
17There the wicked cease from troubling. There the weary are at rest.
17Teah te halang rhoek loh khoponah a toeng uh tih thadueng aka bawt khaw pahoi duem.
18There the prisoners are at ease together. They don’t hear the voice of the taskmaster.
18Thongtla rhoek te rhenten rhalthal uh tih, tueihno ol ya uh pawh.
19The small and the great are there. The servant is free from his master.
19Tanoe neh kangham khaw amah la om pahoi tih sal khaw a boei taeng lamloh sayalh coeng.
20“Why is light given to him who is in misery, life to the bitter in soul,
20Balae tih thakthaekung taengah vangnah, hinglu khahing taengah hingnah a paek?
21who long for death, but it doesn’t come; and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,
21Dueknah hamla aka rhingda long khaw dang hae pawt tih kawn lakah te te a too.
22who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
22Phuel a hmuh uh vaengah omngaihnah neh a ngaingaih la a kohoe uh.
23Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?
23A longpuei te hlang ham tah a thuh dae a taengah Pathen loh a mak pah.
24For my sighing comes before I eat. My groanings are poured out like water.
24Ka buh hmai ah ka hueinah ha pawk tih ka kawknah he tui bangla pha.
25For the thing which I fear comes on me, that which I am afraid of comes to me.
25Birhihnah neh ka birhih akhaw kamah m'vuei tih ka rhih nawn te khaw kamah taengah thoeng.
26I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither do I have rest; but trouble comes.”
26Ka dingsuek pawt tih ka mong pawh, ka duem pawt vaengah khoponah ha thoeng,” a ti.
