Job 39
1 Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? [Or] canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
Sathar caa tapenhaih atue na panoek maw? To tih ai boeh loe tasuk caa tapenhaih atue na panoek maw?
2 Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? Or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
Ca tapen karoek to khrah nazetto maw zokpomh, tito na panoek maw? To tih ai boeh loe nihcae tapenhaih atue na panoek maw?
3 They bow themselves, they bring forth their young, They cast out their pains.
Nihcae loe tabok o, caa tapen o; to naah caa tapenhaih kana to pahnet o.
4 Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open field; They go forth, and return not again.
A caanawk loe ngantui o moe, taw ah qoeng o tahang; amno to caeh o taak, amlaem o let ai boeh.
5 Who hath sent out the wild ass free? Or who hath loosed the bonds of the swift ass,
Mi mah maw taw ih hrangnawk angmah koeh ah prasak? Mi mah maw taw hrang ih aqui to khramh pae thaih?
6 Whose home I have made the wilderness, And the salt land his dwelling-place?
Anih ohhaih ahmuen to praezaek ah ka sak moe, karoem long to anih ohhaih ahmuen ah ka paek.
7 He scorneth the tumult of the city, Neither heareth he the shoutings of the driver.
Anih loe vangpui thung ih loknawk to pahnuithuih moe, kamongh kami hanghaih lok doeh tahngai ai.
8 The range of the mountains is his pasture, And he searcheth after every green thing.
Anih loe maenawk nuiah prat moe, kahing phrohnawk to pakrong.
9 Will the wild-ox be content to serve thee? Or will he abide by thy crib?
Hmawsaeng taw ih maitaw loe na tok to sak moe, nang khaeah oh han koeh tih maw?
10 Canst thou bind the wild-ox with his band in the furrow? Or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
Laikok toksak hanah qui hoiah na zae thai tih maw? To tih ai boeh loe laikok atok hanah na hnukah bang thai tih maw?
11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? Or wilt thou leave to him thy labor?
Anih thacakhaih to na oep han maw? To tih ai boeh loe na sak ih tok to anih khaeah na aap thai tih maw?
12 Wilt thou confide in him, that he will bring home thy seed, And gather [the grain] of thy threshing-floor?
Anih mah im ah cang na phaw pae ueloe, tapup thungah na suem pae tih, tiah na tang maw?
13 The wings of the ostrich wave proudly; [But] are they the pinions and plumage of love?
Tawtaaw tavaa loe amoekhaih hoiah pakhraeh to boh, toe tahnongsawk tavaa hoi Ostrich tavaa loe anih ih amui hoiah patah thai ai,
14 For she leaveth her eggs on the earth, And warmeth them in the dust,
anih loe long ah taduih moe, savuet long hoiah tadui to khaeksak,
15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, Or that the wild beast may trample them.
anih loe khok hoiah angmah ih tadui to cawh moeng ueloe, taw ih moi mah tadui koisak moeng tih, tito panoek ai.
16 She dealeth hardly with her young ones, as if they were not hers: Though her labor be in vain, [she is] without fear;
Anih loe a caanawk to angmah ih caa ai baktiah khet, anih caasakhaih loe azom pui ni, tiah poek ai;
17 Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, Neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
Sithaw mah anih han palunghahaih to paek ai, panoekhaih roe paek ai.
18 What time she lifteth up herself on high, She scorneth the horse and his rider.
Toe pakhraeh atoengh tahang naah, anih mah hrang hoi a nuiah kangthueng kami to pahnuithuih.
19 Hast thou given the horse [his] might? Hast thou clothed his neck with the quivering mane?
Hrang tha na caksak maw? Anih ih tahnong to na khuk pae maw?
20 Hast thou made him to leap as a locust? The glory of his snorting is terrible.
Pakhuh kangphet baktiah maw nang phetsak? Anih anghahaih takhi tuen loe zit thoh parai.
21 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: He goeth out to meet the armed men.
Anih loe azawn ah cawnh tapaih, a thacakhaih to angoep moe, misatuh kaminawk to a hmaang.
22 He mocketh at fear, and is not dismayed; Neither turneth he back from the sword.
Zithaih to pahnuithuih, zithaih tidoeh tawn ai; sumsen doeh cawn taak ai.
23 The quiver rattleth against him, The flashing spear and the javelin.
Anih kahhaih palaa tuen to tacawt, tayae hoi misa angvaenghaih aphaw loe ampha hlip.
24 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage; Neither believeth he that it is the voice of the trumpet.
Anih loe palungphui moe, thacakhaih palung hoiah long to a caak; mongkah lok a thaih naah, om duem thai ai.
25 As oft as the trumpet [soundeth] he saith, Aha! And he smelleth the battle afar off, The thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
Mongkah lok thaih naah, Ha, ha, tiah a thuih; misatuh angraeng ih lok, misa pahruekhaih lok ahmui loe ahmuen kangthla hoiah panoek thaih.
26 Is it by thy wisdom that the hawk soareth, [And] stretcheth her wings toward the south?
Tahmu loe na patuk ih palunghahaih hoiah pakhraeh to boh moe, aloih bangah azawk tathuk maw?
27 Is it at thy command that the eagle mounteth up, And maketh her nest on high?
Tahmu loe na paek ih lok pongah maw van bangah azawk tahang moe, hmuensang ah tabu to boh?
28 On the cliff she dwelleth, and maketh her home, Upon the point of the cliff, and the stronghold.
Anih loe lungsong nuiah oh, cathaeng loe anih ohhaih kacak ahmuen ah oh.
29 From thence she spieth out the prey; Her eyes behold it afar off.
To ahmuen hoiah a khet moe, caak koi moi to ahmuen kangthla hoiah hnuk thaih.
30 Her young ones also suck up blood: And where the slain are, there is she.
A caanawk doeh athii to pazoh o toeng; anih loe kadueh qok ohhaih ahmuen ah oh, tiah a naa.
