Job 21
1 Chuphat in Job in asei kit in:
Then Job answered and said:
2 Kathusei hohi ipi ham ti naichan hin ngai uvin, hichu kilhamonna neipeh thei sun u chu ahi.
Hear diligently my speech; and let this be your consolations.
3 Neithoh piuvin chule ken thu sei inge, keiman thu kasei jou teng leh nanghon nei nuisat pan kit nauvin nate.
Suffer me, that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.
4 Pathen koma kiphin kahin, mihem ho koma ahipoi, kanga sot joulou nau ajeh hoitah kaneije.
As for me, is my complaint to man? Or why should I not be impatient?
5 Nei veuvin chule thipchet in um un, nakhut uvin nakam kisip cheh uvin,
Turn unto me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.
6 Ken ipi kasei ding ham tia kagel teng, kaki thing tuntun in katahsa akihot hot e.
Even when I remember I am affrighted, and horror hath taketh hold on my flesh.
7 Ipi dinga migiloute hi khang tou touva ateh gei uva khang uva chule thahat hiuvem?
Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, wax mighty in power?
8 Chule amahohi achateu khantou leh a inchen uve dinga hing ahiuvin chule atuteu chunga akipah uve.
Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.
9 A in hou jong kichat tijat na a konin a ongdoh un chule Pathen in agimbol poi.
Their houses are safe, without fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
10 Abongchal hou jong nou neilou vin aum pouvin, abongpi houvin nou aneiyun athollha jong aumpoi.
Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.
11 Kelngoite bangin achateu akichop le sah uvin, achapang hou chu akichom un chule alam lam uve.
They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.
12 Amahon semjang saigin leh selang dah toh lhonin la a asauvin, theile kimut gin in kipa golnop abol'uve.
They sing to the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe.
13 Amahon ahin nikho hou nopsah nan amangun, chuti chun lungmong tah in lhankhuh ajon ji tauve. (Sheol h7585)
They spend their days in prosperity, and peacefully they go down to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
14 Amahon chemangin nathil imacha kadei pouvin, nalam lhah jong kadei pouve tin PAthen koma aseijuve.
Yet they said unto God: 'Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of Thy ways.
15 Hatchungnung kitipa chu koi hija chule ipi dinga athu kangai diu ham?
What is the Almighty, that we should serve Him? And what profit should we have, if we pray unto Him?' —
16 Amahon ahausat najouseu hi amaho thahat a kilam doh danin agel un, ahinlah hitobang lunggel na a chu keiman imacha bol ding kanei lou ding ahi.
Lo, their prosperity is not in their hand; the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
17 Ahijeng vang'in migilou thaomei jong akimumit peh khapoi. Amaho hin hahsatna anei khah uvem? Pathen in lunghang tah a lung genthei nahi amaho ana hoppeh khah em?
How oft is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out? that their calamity cometh upon them? that He distributeth pains in His anger?
18 Changpol banga amaho huijin amasang amutmang khah hitam? Huipi hat in changvai alhohmang banga alhoh mang khah hitam?
That they are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm stealeth away?
19 Aphai Pathen in achateu beh agimbol ding ahi tin nasei juvin ahinlah chonset bol pen pen vang chu agim bol ding ahi tin kaseije. Chutile ama thutanna chu ahet thei diu ahi.
'God layeth up his iniquity for his children!' — let Him recompense it unto himself, that he may know it.
20 Amanthah nau amahon amit tah uvin veu hen hatchungnung pa lunghanna thuhtah chu twidon in don uhen.
Let his own eyes see his destruction, and let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21 Ijeh inem itile ama athi nung teng le ainkoteu iti dingu ham ti angaito pouve.
For what pleasure hath he in his house after him? seeing the number of his months is determined.
22 Ahinlah koipen in Pathen chu ahil thei ding ham? Mithahat chung thu jeng jong atan ji ahi.
Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing it is He that judgeth those that are high.
23 Mikhat chu hausa tah le lungmong tah hin boina beihel in athi jin ahi.
One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet;
24 Mithahat misalhing hole tahsa damthei ho lim chu ahi.
His pails are full of milk, and the marrow of his bones is moistened.
25 Mikhat kit chu nopsahna hepha louhel in vaichatna khonteh in athi jin ahi.
And another dieth in bitterness of soul, and hath never tasted of good.
26 Ahinlah ani honna chu leivui lah a kivui cheh ahi lhonin, ani lhonna than hon aneh cheh lhon ding ahi.
They lie down alike in the dust, and the worm covereth them.
27 Ven nangin ipi nagel kahen nangin kei douna a nathilgon kahen ahi.
Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me.
28 Achonset jeh uva ain u mang hella migilou leh mihausatah thu neihin seipeh ding ahi.
For ye say: 'Where is the house of the prince? And where is the tent wherein the wicked dwelt?'
29 Ahinlah akimvella um hohi dong le chun amahon adihtah chu naseipeh dingu ahi.
Have ye not asked them that go by the way; and will ye misdeem their tokens,
30 Vangset phat laileh amaho chu aki hing hoijin chule manthah na a konna ajamdoh diu jong akiphal peh e.
That the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity, that they are led forth to the day of wrath?
31 Koima chan amaho hi lhangphong tah in aseise ngam pouvin ahiloule anatoh athilbol hou jeh in jong lethuhna akipe pouve.
But who shall declare his way to his face? And who shall repay him what he hath done?
32 Lhankhuh jonna amaho akiput tengu le alhan u chu mihon nidan kah khat bep bou anga peh jiuve.
For he is borne to the grave, and watch is kept over his tomb.
33 Lhanmol a chun mithi kivuina kin akimang in atahsa choldo dinga akilupsah namun a chun mihon ajanau apeuve, chule leiset in kicholdo na nomtah in apei.
The clods of the valley are sweet unto him, and all men draw after him, as there were innumerable before him.
34 Nanghon keihi iti dan a thu hom keuva nei lhamon diu ham? Nahil chet najouseu jong jou ahi.
How then comfort ye me in vain? And as for your answers, there remaineth only faithlessness?
