Joba 21
1 Te phoeiah Job loh a doo tih tih,
Bvt Iob answered, and sayd,
2 Ka ol hnatun, hnatun lamtah te te nangmih kah hloephloeinah om saeh.
Heare diligently my wordes, and this shalbe in stead of your consolations.
3 Ka thui vaengah kai ol he ueh mai lamtah ka thui hnukah nan tamdaeng akhaw.
Suffer mee, that I may speake, and when I haue spoken, mocke on.
4 Kai khaw ka kohuetnah he hlang hut a? Balae tih ka mueihla loh a ngen pawt mai eh?
Doe I direct my talke to man? If it were so, how should not my spirit be troubled?
5 Kai taengla a mael vaengah hal tih a kut neh a ka te a puei.
Marke mee, and be abashed, and lay your hand vpon your mouth.
6 Ka poek bal vaengah ka let tih ka pumsa he tuennah loh a tuuk.
Euen when I remember, I am afrayde, and feare taketh hold on my flesh.
7 Halang rhoek tah haimo la a hing uh akhaw balae tih tatthai la a len uh.
Wherefore do the wicked liue, and waxe olde, and grow in wealth?
8 A mikhmuh kah a tiingan rhoek neh a mikhmuh kah a cadil cahma khaw amih taengah a cikngae sak.
Their seede is established in their sight with them, and their generation before their eyes.
9 Amih im khaw birhihnah lamloh ngaimongnah la om tih Pathen kah conghol loh amih soah cuk thil pawh.
Their houses are peaceable without feare, and the rod of God is not vpon them.
10 A vaito a pil vaengah a vaito a pom khaw tuei pawt tih thangyah tlaih pawh.
Their bullocke gendreth, and fayleth not: their cow calueth, and casteth not her calfe.
11 A casenca rhoek te boiva bangla a hlah uh tih a camoe rhoek loh soipet uh.
They send forth their children like sheepe, and their sonnes dance.
12 Kamrhing neh rhotoeng te a phueih uh tih phavi ol neh a kohoe uh.
They take the tabret and harpe, and reioyce in the sound of the organs.
13 Amamih vaengkah tue then khuiah muei uh tih hmawn uh. Mikhaptok ah saelkhui la ael uh. (Sheol h7585)
They spend their dayes in wealth, and suddenly they go downe to the graue. (Sheol h7585)
14 Tedae Pathen taengah, “Kaimih taeng lamloh nong laeh. Na longpuei ming ham ka ngaih uh moenih.
They say also vnto God, Depart from vs: for we desire not the knowledge of thy wayes.
15 Anih taengah thothueng ham khaw unim tlungthang? A taengah n'cuuk uh ham khaw balae a hoeikhang eh?” a ti uh.
Who is the Almightie, that we should serue him? and what profit should we haue, if we should pray vnto him?
16 Amih kah thennah khaw amamih kut ah om pawt lah ko ke. Halang rhoek kah cilsuep te kai lamloh lakhla saeh.
Lo, their wealth is not in their hand: therfore let the counsell of the wicked bee farre from me.
17 Halang rhoek kah hmaithoi tah metlam khaw thi tih amamih kah rhainah amamih soah a thoeng pah. A thintoek neh a rhilong a suem pah.
How oft shall the candle of the wicked be put out? and their destruction come vpon them? he wil deuide their liues in his wrath.
18 Khohli hmai ah cangkong bangla om uh tih cangkik bangla cangpalam loh a khuen.
They shall be as stubble before the winde, and as chaffe that the storme carieth away.
19 Pathen loh a ca rhoek ham a khoem coeng. A boethae te amah taengah thuung saeh lamtah ming saeh.
God wil lay vp the sorowe of the father for his children: when he rewardeth him, hee shall knowe it.
20 A sitlohthamlam te a mik, a mik ah tueng saeh lamtah tlungthang kah kosi te mam sak saeh.
His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drinke of the wrath of the Almightie.
21 A hnukah a imkhui ham a kongaih te balae? A hla kah a tarhing khaw bawt coeng.
For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the nomber of his moneths is cut off?
22 Pathen te mingnah a tukkil a? Amah he pomsang tih lai a tloek.
Shall any teache God knowledge, who iudgeth the highest things?
23 A cungkuem dongah bidipbisok tih thayoeituipan la amah kah thincaknah rhuhrhong neh aka duek he,
One dyeth in his full strength, being in all ease and prosperitie.
24 A rhangsuk khaw suktui buem tih a rhuh hliing khaw sulpuem.
His breasts are full of milke, and his bones runne full of marowe.
25 Hinglu khahing la duek tih hnothen aka ca pawt he khaw,
And another dieth in the bitternes of his soule, and neuer eateth with pleasure.
26 laipi khuiah rhenten yalh tih a rhit loh a soah a yol.
They shall sleepe both in the dust, and the wormes shall couer them.
27 Nangmih kah kopoek ka ming phoeiah tangkhuepnah neh kai soah nan hul ni te.
Behold, I know your thoughts, and the enterprises, wherewith ye do me wrong.
28 “Hlangcong im te menim? Halang tolhmuen kah dap te menim?” na ti uh.
For ye say, Where is the princes house? and where is the tabernacle of the wickeds dwelling?
29 Longpuei aka poeng rhoek te na dawt uh pawt tih amih kah miknoek khaw na hmat uh pawt nim?
May ye not aske the that go by the way? and ye can not deny their signes.
30 Rhainah khohnin lamloh boethae te a tuem tih thinpom khohnin lamloh a khuen te ta.
But the wicked is kept vnto the day of destruction, and they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
31 A khoboe te a mikhmuh ah aka phoe pah te unim? A saii bangla a taengah aka thuung te unim?
Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall reward him for that he hath done?
32 Anih khaw phuel la a khuen vaengah laivuei ni a. hak thil.
Yet shall he be brought to the graue, and remaine in the heape.
33 Anih ham soklong kah dikmuh khaw tui. Anih hnuk te hlang boeih loh a thoelh tih anih hmai kah hlangmi tae lek pawh.
The slimie valley shalbe sweete vnto him, and euery man shall draw after him, as before him there were innumerable.
34 Te dongah balae tih a honghi la kai he nan hloep uh? Nangmih kah taikhaih khaw boekoeknah la cul coeng,” a ti.
How then comfort ye me in vaine, seeing in your answeres there remaine but lyes?
