Job 23
1 Hichun Job in aseikit in:
Then Job answered and said,
2 Kakiphinna tuni chan geijin akhoh cheh cheh in chule pendoh lou ding hatah in kagoi.
Yea, I know that pleading is out of my reach; and his hand has been made heavy upon my groaning.
3 Keiman Pathen ama umna bouseh kahol doh thei hileh keima athutanna munna kache ding ahi.
Who would then know that I might find him, and come to an end [of the matter]?
4 Kachung chang thuhi kaluidoh a chuleh kaki phin a thu kasei ding ahi.
And I would plead my own cause, and he would fill my mouth with arguments.
5 Chuteng leh keiman eidonbutna kangaija chuleh kakoma ipi asei ham ti kahetdoh ding ahi.
And I would know the remedies which he would speak to me, and I would perceive what he would tell me.
6 Athahatna jousea chu keima einel ding ham? Ahipoi aman ngainom umtah'a eidonbut ding ahi.
Though he should come on me in [his] great strength, then he would not threaten me;
7 Milungtheng ho chun amatoh ngaito khom theijun tin hijeh a chu keima thutanna'a konna a itih a dinga lhadoh a kaum ding ahitai.
for truth and reproof are from him; and he would bring forth my judgment to an end.
8 Solama kachen ahin hiche mun a chun ama anaumpon, lhumlam a kachen ahinlah ama kaga mu poi.
For if I shall go first, and exist no longer, still what do I know [concerning] the latter end?
9 Sahlang gam kahol in kaga mu joupoi, ijeh inem itile ama kisel ah ahi. Keiman lhanglang gam kaven ahinlah ama akisel mangah ahitai.
When he wrought on the left hand, then I observed [it] not: his right hand shall encompass me but I shall not see [it].
10 Ahin aman hoiya kache ahen ahi, chuleh aman ei patep tengle sana thengsel banga kahung doh ding ahi.
For he knows already my way; and he has tried me as gold.
11 Ijeh inem itile Pathen lampi a um kahin kihei mang louhel a alampi chu kajui ahi.
And I will go forth according to his commandments, for I have kept his ways; and I shall not turn aside from his commandments,
12 Athupeh a kon in kapotdoh khapon ahinlah niseh anneh twidon sangin athusei ho gou khol in kaki khol e.
neither shall I transgress; but I have hid his words in my bosom.
13 Ahinlah aman khatvei kigel lhahna anei tengleh koipen in alungthim akhelsah thei ding ham? Aman abol nomchan chu ipi hijongle abol jing ding ahi.
And if too he has thus judged, who is he that has contradicted, for he has both willed [a thing] and done it.
14 Hijeh a chu ipi hijongle kachunga kathilgon jouse chu eibol doh peh a kavanga ana umsa chu aman athuneina noija akoi ding ahi.
15 Datmo louhel in ama aum tengle kaki cha behseh jin hiche ho kagel tengle kaki cha behseh ji e.
Therefore am I troubled at him; and when I was reproved, I thought of him. Therefore let me take good heed before him: I will consider, and be afraid of him.
16 Pathen in kalung anat sah in lungchang nan eisem in Hatchungnung pa chun ei tijat sah e.
But the Lord has softened my heart, and the Almighty has troubled me.
17 Muthim in ei umkim vellin athimdan seijou lou chu muntin a aume.
For I knew not that darkness would come upon me, and thick darkness has covered [me] before my face.
