Job 24
1 Ipi dinga Hatchungung pan migiloute khu thutanna munna dinga ahin pui lou ham? Ipi dinga Pathen ging ten panna beija ama anga nga diu ham?
Why doesn't the Almighty set a definite time to punish the wicked? Why don't those who follow him never see him act in judgment?
2 Miphalou ten gamgi melchihna achonun gam leiset agu jiuve. Amahon gancha akiguh uvin chuleh amaho gamsunga hamhing lah a alhalut uve.
The wicked move boundary stones; they seize other people's flocks and move them to their own pastures.
3 Amahon chagate sangan akilah un meithai ho bangchal bat man na apeh diuvin angeh jiuve.
They steal the orphan's donkey; they take the widow's ox as security for a debt.
4 Mivaichate chu lampam ah asondoh un migiloute chu ahoidoh nadiuvin akisel khom jiuve.
They push the poor out of their way; the destitute are forced to hide from them.
5 Gamlah sangan ho gammang lah a aum bangin mivaichaten aphat jouseu neh ding holnan amangun achateu neh ding nelgam sanna aga hol uve.
Like wild donkeys in the desert, the poor have to scavenge for their food, looking for anything to feed their children in the wasteland.
6 Amaho a hilou loujau lah a chang a-at jiuvin chule migiloute lengpilei lah a akhai achomkhom uve.
They are forced to find what they can in other people's fields, to glean among the vineyards of the wicked.
7 Jan khovah vah'in daplah ah akeuvun ponbeijin ahiloule kikhukhum ding neilouvin alum jiuve.
They spend the night naked because they have no clothes; they have nothing to cover themselves against the cold.
8 Amaho chun molla konna hung phinlha gotwijin akot soh jiuvin chule chenna in ngaichan songpi bel din alhai khom jiuve.
They are soaked by the cold mountain storms, and huddle beside the rocks for shelter.
9 Migilou ten meithai ho chasen chu anu oplhanga konin aloilhah peh un nausen ho chu thil manna tun din alahpeh jiuve.
Fatherless children are snatched from their mother's breasts, taking the babies of the poor as security for a debt.
10 Mivaichate chu ponsil beijin akeuvun acheleuvin amaho tah anngol pumin midang ding chang a atkhom peh uve.
Because they have no clothes to wear they have to go naked, harvesting sheaves of grain while they themselves are hungry.
11 Amahon Olive thau achil lhauvin ahinlah atep diu jong akiphal peh pouve, chule dangchah thohpum pumin lengpi thei hehna khol ah na atohsah uve.
In the olive groves they work to produce oil, but do not taste it; they tread the winepress, but are thirsty.
12 Khopi a konin mithi ding kon ho ahung pengdoh uvin chule maha pu hon kithopi ngaichan akap uve. Ahivangin Pathen in ataonau imachan agelpeh poi.
In the city the dying groan, and the wounded cry for help, but God ignores their prayers.
13 Migiloute chun khovah adouvun, amahon alampi hetpeh ding anom pouvin ahiloule alampi a jong aum pouve.
These are people who rebel against the light. They do not want to know its ways, or to stay on its paths.
14 Mivaicha ho leh mi genthei ho that dingin tolthat ho chu jingpi phal vah'in athou jiuvin jan teng amapa chu guchan apang jin ahi.
The murderer gets up at dawn to kill the poor and needy, and when night falls he becomes a thief.
15 Numei jon pipan khomut chip chep angah jin hiche phat chuleh koiman eimu taponte atin koiman ahetdoh louna dingin amai asel jin ahi.
The adulterer waits for dusk, saying to himself, ‘No one will see me now,’ and he covers his face.
16 Migucha ho chun jan tengle mi in asuse jiuvin chuleh sun leh a ihmu jiuve. Amaho chu khovah toh kihekha lou ahiuve.
Thieves break into houses during the night and they sleep during the day. They don't even know what the light is like!
17 Jan muthim chu amaho din jingkah ahin amaho tah hi khojin kichatna toh kijopmat ahiuve.
Total darkness is like light to them, for they are familiar with the night.
18 Ahinlah amaho hi twinoi langa twihu bangin amang ji tauve, athilnei jouseu hi gaosapna ahi chule amaho alengpi lei uva alut diu jong akichauve.
Like bubbles on the surface of a river they are quickly carried away. The land they own is cursed by God. They don't enter their own vineyards.
19 Nichangsat leh sat in buhbang twi amanchah banga lhankhuh in jong michonse ho amanchah ahi. (Sheol h7585)
Just as heat and drought dry up snowmelt, so Sheol takes away those who have sinned. (Sheol h7585)
20 Ahingnu tah'un jong hin sumil untin than hon amaho chu twitah in hin neuvin tin, koima chan amaho chu geldoh tapouvin te. Migiloute chu huipi gopin thingphung amutlhuh tobang hiuvinte.
Even their mothers forget them, maggots feast on them, they are no longer remembered, and their wickedness becomes like a tree that is broken into pieces.
21 Kithopi ding chapa neilou meithai ho alhemlha jiuvin meithai gentheiho kithopi ding amaho anom pouve.
They mistreat childless women and are mean to widows.
22 Pathen thanei nan miho chu akaimang jin amaho chu kichoisang maithei unte, ahinlah ahinkhou iti ding ham ti hetchetna anei pouve.
God prolongs the life of the wicked by his power; but when they arise, they have no assurance of life.
23 Amahohi lungmong tah a ahin diu kiphal peh jeng jongleh Pathen in amaho chu avelhi jing jenge.
He supports them and gives them security, but he is always watching what they're doing.
24 Chuleh tuhin amaho hi oupe lheh jong leu mitphet kah louvin adangho bangin che mang tauvin tin, changvui bangin satlhah in um uvinte.
Though they may be illustrious for a while, soon they are gone. They are brought down like all others, cut off like the heads of grain.
25 Ahilou jongleh khat touvin achu thei ham? Koipen in kadih louna aphotchet thei ding ham?
If this isn't so, who can prove I'm a liar and there's nothing to what I say?”
