< Job 23 >

1 Then Job answered by saying:
Hichun Job in aseikit in:
2 Now again my conversation is in bitterness, and the force of my scourging weighs more heavily on me because of my mourning.
Kakiphinna tuni chan geijin akhoh cheh cheh in chule pendoh lou ding hatah in kagoi.
3 Who will grant me that I might know and find him, and that I may approach even to his throne?
Keiman Pathen ama umna bouseh kahol doh thei hileh keima athutanna munna kache ding ahi.
4 I would place judgment before his eye, and my mouth would fill with criticism,
Kachung chang thuhi kaluidoh a chuleh kaki phin a thu kasei ding ahi.
5 so that I may know the words that he will answer me and understand what he will say to me.
Chuteng leh keiman eidonbutna kangaija chuleh kakoma ipi asei ham ti kahetdoh ding ahi.
6 I do not want him to contend with me with much strength, nor to overwhelm me with the bulk of his greatness.
Athahatna jousea chu keima einel ding ham? Ahipoi aman ngainom umtah'a eidonbut ding ahi.
7 Let him show fairness in response to me, and let my judgment reach to victory.
Milungtheng ho chun amatoh ngaito khom theijun tin hijeh a chu keima thutanna'a konna a itih a dinga lhadoh a kaum ding ahitai.
8 If I go to the east, he does not appear; if I go to the west, I will not understand him.
Solama kachen ahin hiche mun a chun ama anaumpon, lhumlam a kachen ahinlah ama kaga mu poi.
9 If I turn to the left, what can I do? I will not take hold of him. If I turn myself to the right, I will not see him.
Sahlang gam kahol in kaga mu joupoi, ijeh inem itile ama kisel ah ahi. Keiman lhanglang gam kaven ahinlah ama akisel mangah ahitai.
10 Truly, he knows my way and has tested me like gold that passes through fire.
Ahin aman hoiya kache ahen ahi, chuleh aman ei patep tengle sana thengsel banga kahung doh ding ahi.
11 My feet have been following his footsteps; I have kept to his way and have not strayed from it.
Ijeh inem itile Pathen lampi a um kahin kihei mang louhel a alampi chu kajui ahi.
12 I have not withdrawn from the commands of his lips, and the words of his mouth I have hidden in my sinews.
Athupeh a kon in kapotdoh khapon ahinlah niseh anneh twidon sangin athusei ho gou khol in kaki khol e.
13 For he is alone, and no one is able to disturb his intention; and whatever his spirit wills, that he accomplishes.
Ahinlah aman khatvei kigel lhahna anei tengleh koipen in alungthim akhelsah thei ding ham? Aman abol nomchan chu ipi hijongle abol jing ding ahi.
14 And when he fulfills his will in me, many other similar ones will also be present with him.
Hijeh a chu ipi hijongle kachunga kathilgon jouse chu eibol doh peh a kavanga ana umsa chu aman athuneina noija akoi ding ahi.
15 And, for this reason, I have been troubled at his presence, and, when I consider him, I am approached by fear.
Datmo louhel in ama aum tengle kaki cha behseh jin hiche ho kagel tengle kaki cha behseh ji e.
16 God has weakened my heart, and the Almighty has confused me.
Pathen in kalung anat sah in lungchang nan eisem in Hatchungnung pa chun ei tijat sah e.
17 Yet I have not perished because of the threatening darkness, nor has gloom covered my face.
Muthim in ei umkim vellin athimdan seijou lou chu muntin a aume.
