< Job 5 >
1 Atu kaw haw, na ka pato hane ao awh han vaimoe. Kathounge tami, nâ lah maw na kamlang han.
Call nowe, if any will answere thee, and to which of the Saintes wilt thou turne?
2 Bangkongtetpawiteh, lungkhueknae ni tamipathu a thei teh, utsinnae ni kamawngrame a thei.
Doubtlesse anger killeth the foolish, and enuie slayeth the idiote.
3 Tami ni khawngyang a pabo e hah ka hmu, hateiteh kho a saknae hmuen hah thoe tangka bo.
I haue seene the foolish well rooted, and suddenly I cursed his habitation, saying,
4 A capanaw teh, a hlout nahane awm hoeh, longkha koe a rawp awh vaiteh, a katin awh han. Ka rungngang hane awm hoeh.
His children shalbe farre from saluation, and they shall be destroyed in the gate, and none shall deliuer them.
5 Bangkongtetpawiteh, a von ka hlam e ni a a e cang hah be a ca pouh teh, pâkhingum e patenghai hnopainaw hah a lawp awh.
The hungrie shall eate vp his haruest: yea, they shall take it from among the thornes, and the thirstie shall drinke vp their substance.
6 Bangkongtetpawiteh, khangnae teh talai dawk hoi ka tho e nahoeh. Rucatnae hai talai dawk hoi ka tho e na hoeh.
For miserie commeth not foorth of the dust, neither doeth affliction spring out of the earth.
7 Hmaitali kahlun lah a luen e patetlah, tami teh rucat hane doeh a khe.
But man is borne vnto trauaile, as the sparkes flie vpwarde.
8 Hateiteh, kai niteh, Cathut ka tawng vaiteh, ka rucatnae teh Cathut e hmalah ka dei pouh han.
But I would inquire at God, and turne my talke vnto God:
9 A bawilennae hoi dei thai hoeh e, touk thai hoeh e, kângairunae kasakthaie koe vah.
Which doeth great things and vnsearchable, and marueilous things without nomber.
10 Talai dawk kho a rak sak teh, law dawk tui a lawng sak.
He giueth raine vpon the earth, and powreth water vpon the streetes,
11 Kangduenae hmuen ka rahnoum e hah, a rasang sak teh, lung kamathoutnaw hah, roumnae hmuen dawk a luen sak.
And setteth vp on hie them that be lowe, that the sorowfull may be exalted to saluation.
12 Huenghai kaawmnaw khokhangnae hah a kahma sak teh, a kut hoi a noe e naw koung a raphoe pouh.
He scattereth the deuices of the craftie: so that their handes can not accomplish that which they doe enterprise.
13 Tami lungkaang huenghai kaawm e hah, a thoumthainae ni a man awh teh, huenghai kaawm naw e khokhangnae hah, amamouh dawk tang a pha han.
He taketh the wise in their craftinesse, and the counsel of the wicked is made foolish.
14 Kanîthun angnae dawk hmonae hoi a kâhmo awh teh, kanî tuengtalueng thun nah tangmin e patetlah thupthup a payam awh.
They meete with darkenesse in the day time, and grope at noone day, as in the night.
15 Hateiteh, tahloi hoi tami ka voutthoup e hah a rungngang teh, athakaawme taminaw e apâhni hoi a kut ni a rungngang awh.
But he saueth the poore from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hande of the violent man,
16 Ka roedengnaw ni ngaihawinae a tawn awh teh, lanhoehnae ni a pahni a cakuep pouh.
So that the poore hath his hope, but iniquitie shall stop her mouth.
17 Khenhaw! Cathut ni a toun e tami teh, tami a lung kahawi e doeh. Hatdawkvah Athakasaipounge ni phepnae teh, noutna laipalah awm hanh.
Beholde, blessed is the man whome God correcteth: therefore refuse not thou the chastising of the Almightie.
18 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ama ni a hem teh, a hmâ hah ama ni a kawm pouh. Ama ni a hmâ a ca sak teh, a kut hoi a dam sak.
For he maketh the wound, and bindeth it vp: he smiteth, and his handes make whole.
19 Ama ni runae taruk touh dawk hoi a tâco sak e dueng khout laipalah, sari touh thung dawk hoi hai kahawihoehe ni tek awh mahoeh.
He shall deliuer thee in sixe troubles, and in the seuenth the euill shall not touch thee.
20 Ama ni takang duenae thung hoi a ratang awh vaiteh, taran um e tahloi thaonae thung hoi a ratang awh han.
In famine he shall deliuer thee from death: and in battel from the power of the sworde.
21 Lawkthoeumkha thung hoi hro lah na o vaiteh, rawkphainae a pha torei teh, na taket mahoeh.
Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue, and thou shalt not be afraid of destruction when it commeth.
22 Rawkphainae hoi takangnae na panui sin vaiteh, talai e sarangnaw hah na taket mahoeh.
But thou shalt laugh at destruction and dearth, and shalt not be afraide of the beast of the earth.
23 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kahrawng e talungnaw hoi rei kambawng vaiteh, kahrawng e sarangmathengnaw hoi karoumcalah na o awh han.
For the stones of the fielde shall be in league with thee, and the beastes of the field shall be at peace with thee.
24 Na onae rim dawk karoumcalah na o e hah na panue han. Na khosaknae hah na khet navah voutthoupnae banghai awm mahoeh.
And thou shalt knowe, that peace shall be in thy tabernacle, and thou shalt visite thine habitation, and shalt not sinne.
25 Na ca catoun moiapap hane hah a panue vaiteh, nange na miphunnaw talai dawk phovai patetlah ao e hah na hmu han.
Thou shalt perceiue also, that thy seede shalbe great, and thy posteritie as the grasse of the earth.
26 Atueng pha toteh cabong taoung e patetlah na kumcue toteh, phuen koe na pha han.
Thou shalt goe to thy graue in a ful age, as a ricke of corne commeth in due season into the barne.
27 Khenhaw! heteheh ka pakhingpalang awh teh, kalan e doeh ka tho. Thaihaw, nama hane doeh tie hah panuek, telah atipouh.
Lo, thus haue we inquired of it, and so it is: heare this and knowe it for thy selfe.
