1Then Job answered,
1To naah Job mah,
2“Truly I know that it is so, but how can man be just with God?
2to lok loe amsoem, tiah ka panoek; toe kami loe kawbangmaw Sithaw hmaa ah toeng thai tih?
3If he is pleased to contend with him, he can’t answer him one time in a thousand.
3Kami mah anih hoi lok angaek han koeh cadoeh, vai sangto thungah vaito mataeng doeh pathim thai mak ai.
4God is wise in heart, and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against him and prospered?
4Sithaw loe palunghahaih, thacakhaih hoiah koi; palung thah, anih ih lok aek kami loe khosak hoihaih hnuk vai maw?
5He removes the mountains, and they don’t know it, when he overturns them in his anger.
5Sithaw palungphui naah, nihcae panoek ai ah maenawk to angthuisak moe, amletsak thaih,
6He shakes the earth out of its place. Its pillars tremble.
6long to angthuisak hanah ahuenh moe, tungnawk to anghuensak.
7He commands the sun and it doesn’t rise, and seals up the stars.
7Ni tacawt han ai ah lok a thuih pae; cakaehnawk aanghaih to vingh pae khoep.
8He alone stretches out the heavens, and treads on the waves of the sea.
8Anih mah khue ni vannawk to payuengh moe, tuipui tuiphunawk to cawh thaih.
9He makes the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the rooms of the south.
9Anih loe Arcturus, Orian, Pleiades cakaehnawk hoi aloih bang ih cakaehnawk Sahkung ah oh.
10He does great things past finding out; yes, marvelous things without number.
10Anih loe panoek thai ai kalen hmuennawk to sak; ue, kroek laek ai dawnraihaih doeh a sak.
11Behold, he goes by me, and I don’t see him. He passes on also, but I don’t perceive him.
11Khenah, anih ka taengah caeh naah, ka hnu thai ai; a caeh poe naah, anih to ka panoek thai ai.
12Behold, he snatches away. Who can hinder him? Who will ask him, ‘What are you doing?’
12Khenah, anih mah la ving nahaeloe, mi mah maw pakaa thai tih? Mi mah maw anih khaeah, Timaw na sak? tiah thui thai tih?
13“God will not withdraw his anger. The helpers of Rahab stoop under him.
13Sithaw palungphuihaih dip ai nahaeloe, amoek kami thapaek kaminawk loe anih hmaa ah ni akuep o sut tih.
14How much less will I answer him, and choose my words to argue with him?
14Kawbangmaw anih ih lok to ka pathim thai tih? Anih hoi lok angaek hanah kawbaktih lok maw ka qoih han?
15Though I were righteous, yet I wouldn’t answer him. I would make supplication to my judge.
15Zaehaih ka tawn ai langlacadoeh, anih to ka aek thai mak ai; lokcaekkung khaeah loe tahmenhaih khue ni ka hnik thaih.
16If I had called, and he had answered me, yet I wouldn’t believe that he listened to my voice.
16Anih to ka kawk moe, ka kawkhaih lok na pathim pae aep to mah, anih mah ka lok na tahngai pae tih, tiah ka poek ai.
17For he breaks me with a storm, and multiplies my wounds without cause.
17Anih mah takhi sae hoiah ang boh moe, takung om ai ah nganbawh kana ang pungsak.
18He will not allow me to catch my breath, but fills me with bitterness.
18Kai han anghahhaih takhi na paek ai, kakhaa patangkhanghaih hoiah ni ang koisak.
19If it is a matter of strength, behold, he is mighty! If of justice, ‘Who,’ says he, ‘will summon me?’
19Thacakhaih kawng thuih nahaeloe, khenah, anih loe thacak koek ah oh! Toenghaih hoi lokcaek naah doeh, mi mah maw lokcaekhaih im ah kai han lok pathim pae tih?
20Though I am righteous, my own mouth will condemn me. Though I am blameless, it will prove me perverse.
20Zaehaih tawn ai ah ka oh langlacadoeh, ka pakha mah zaehaih na net tih; coek koi om ai ah ka oh, tiah ka thuih cadoeh, ka poek angkawnhaih to amtuengsak tih.
21I am blameless. I don’t respect myself. I despise my life.
21Coek koi om ai ah ka oh cadoeh, ka poekhaih ka panoek thai ai; ka hinghaih hae tiah doeh ka poek ai.
22“It is all the same. Therefore I say he destroys the blameless and the wicked.
22Maeto kaom kanghmong hmuen loe, Coek koi om ai kami doeh, kasae kami doeh, amro hmaek tih, tiah ka thuih.
23If the scourge kills suddenly, he will mock at the trial of the innocent.
23Poek ai pui hoi kami to boh maat naah, anih mah zaehaih tawn ai kami nuiah lokcaekhaih to pahnui thuih.
24The earth is given into the hand of the wicked. He covers the faces of its judges. If not he, then who is it?
24Long loe kasae kami ban ah paek moe, lokcaekkungnawk to mikmaengsak; to hmuen to Sithaw mah sah ai nahaeloe, mi mah maw sah tih?
25“Now my days are swifter than a runner. They flee away. They see no good.
25Ka hinghaih aninawk loe ca phawkung pongah doeh rang o kue; nihcae loe hoihhaih hnu ai ah, cawnh o.
26They have passed away as the swift ships, as the eagle that swoops on the prey.
26To aninawk loe cawnh karang palongpui baktiah laemh o moe, moi cop hanah karangah kazawk tahmu baktiah oh o.
27If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face, and cheer up,’
27Laisaephaih ka pahnet han boeh, poekraihaih ka toengh moe, ka pahnui han boeh, tiah ka thuih cadoeh,
28I am afraid of all my sorrows. I know that you will not hold me innocent.
28ka tongh ih patangkhanghaih to ka zit, kai hae zaehaih tawn ai kami ni, tiah Na poek mak ai, tito ka panoek.
29I will be condemned. Why then do I labor in vain?
29Kahoih ai kami ah ka oh nahaeloe, tih hanah azom pui ah tok ka sak khing vop loe?
30If I wash myself with snow, and cleanse my hands with lye,
30Ka takpum hae dantui hoi kam saeh moe, ka ban hae kaciim ah kam saeh cadoeh,
31yet you will plunge me in the ditch. My own clothes will abhor me.
31Sithaw mah tangnong thungah na va ueloe, ka khukbuen mah ka takpum hae panuet tih.
32For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, that we should come together in judgment.
32Lokcaekhaih ahmuen ah nawnto a caeh o moe, a lok pathim hanah, Sithaw loe kai baktiah om ai.
33There is no umpire between us, that might lay his hand on us both.
33Aihnik lokcaek hmaek hanah, aicae salakah kaom kami mi doeh om ai.
34Let him take his rod away from me. Let his terror not make me afraid;
34Lokcaekhaih angmah ih cung to kai khae hoiah la ving nasoe loe, zitthok a sak ih hmuen mah na pazih hmah nasoe.
35then I would speak, and not fear him, for I am not so in myself.
35To tiah nahaeloe anih zithaih tawn ai ah lok to ka thuih han; toe vaihi loe lok ka thui thai ai.
