Job 24
1 Times are not hid from the Almighty: but they that know him, know not his days.
Tipongah Thacak Sithaw mah lokcaekhaih atue to khaek ai loe? Anih panoek kaminawk mah anih lokcaekhaih ani to panoek o ai maw?
2 Some have removed landmarks, have taken away flocks by force, and fed them.
Thoemto kaminawk loe ramri to tahruet o; minawk ih tuunawk to a lomh pae o moe, angmacae hanah pacah o.
3 They have driven away the ass of the fatherless, and have taken away the widow’s ox for a pledge.
Naqahnawk ih laa hrang to huih pae o ving moe, lamhmai ih maitaw tae to paawng ih hmuen baktiah lak pae o ving.
4 They have overturned the way of the poor, and have oppressed together the meek of the earth.
Caaknaek tawn ai kaminawk to loklam amkhraeng o sak, long ah kaom amtang kaminawk loe nawnto anghawk o.
5 Others like wild asses in the desert go forth to their work: by watching for a prey they get bread for their children.
Khenah, amtang kaminawk loe toksak hanah taw ih laa hrangnawk baktiah a caeh o; khawnthaw ah caeh o moe, angmacae hoi a caanawk hanah taw ah caaknaek pakrong o.
6 They reap the field that is not their own, and gather the vintage of his vineyard whom by violence they have oppressed.
Nihcae loe lawk ah cang aah o moe, kahoih ai kaminawk ih misur thaih to pakhrik pae o.
7 They send men away naked, taking away their clothes who have no covering in the cold:
Nihcae loe khukbuen tawn o ai, bangkrai ah iih o; angqai naah angkhuk hanah tawn o ai.
8 Who are wet, with the showers of the mountains, and having no covering embrace the stones.
Mae ih khotui mah nihcae to bawh moe, abuephaih tawn o ai pongah, lungsong to takop o.
9 They have violently robbed the fatherless, and stripped the poor common people.
Amno ih tahnutui kanae ampa tawn ai nawkta to a lak pae o, amtang kaminawk to hmuenmae paawng o sak.
10 From the naked and them that go without clothing, and from the hungry they have taken away the ears of corn.
Nihcae to khukbuen tawn ai bangkrai ah caeh o sak moe, zok amthlam kami ih cangqui to lomh pae o ving;
11 They have taken their rest at noon among the stores of them, who after having trodden the winepresses suffer thirst.
nihcae loe lawk ah olive tui pasawh o, misurtui doeh pasawh o; toe tui anghaehhaih hoiah patangkhang o.
12 Out of the cities they have made men to groan, and the soul of the wounded hath cried out, and God doth not suffer it to pass unrevenged.
Vangpui thung hoiah kaminawk hanghaih lok to tacawt, ahmaa kacaa kaminawk loe tahmen hnikhaih hoiah hangh o; toe nihcae tahmen hnikhaih to Sithaw mah tidoeh sah pae ai.
13 They have been rebellious to the light, they have not known his ways, neither have they returned by his paths.
Nihcae loe aanghaih lokaek kaminawk ah oh o; nihcae loe aanghaih loklam to panoek o ai, to loklam doeh pazui o ai.
14 The murderer riseth at the very break of day, he killeth the needy, and the poor man: but in the night he will be as a thief.
Kami humnawk loe khawnthaw ah angthawk o moe, caaknaek tawn ai kami hoi amtang kaminawk to hum o pacoengah, aqum ah hmuenmae to paquk o.
15 The eye of the adulterer observeth darkness, saying: No eye shall see me: and he will cover his face.
Zu sava laep ah zaehaih sak koeh kami loe khoving to a zing kongh, a mikhmai to khuk khoep, mi mah doeh na hnu mak ai, tiah a poek.
16 He diggeth through houses in the dark, as in the day they had appointed for themselves, and they have not known the light.
Nihcae loe khoving ah minawk ih im to muk o, khodai ah loe imthung ah anghawk o; aanghaih to panoek o ai.
17 If the morning suddenly appear, it is to them the shadow of death: and they walk in darkness as if it were in light.
Khoving loe nihcae ih ampui ah oh pongah, khodai loe nihcae han duekhaih tahlip ah oh pae lat.
18 He is light upon the face of the water: cursed be his portion on the earth, let him not walk by the way of the vineyards.
To baktih kahoih ai kaminawk loe tui nui ih kakhoem tui apoep baktiah ni oh o; long tahamsethaih loe nihcae ih taham ah oh; to pongah misur takha caehhaih lam taengah mi doeh caeh ai boeh.
Ni kabae hoi khokhaahaih mah dantui amkawsak baktih toengah, taprong mah kazae kaminawk to amrosak. (Sheol h7585)
20 Let mercy forget him: may worms be his sweetness: let him be remembered no more, but be broken in pieces as an unfruitful tree.
Zok mah anih to pahnet ueloe, sadong mah anih to rawkcak kahoih ah caa tih; anih to mi mah doeh panoek mak ai boeh; sethaih loe thing baktiah hmawn tih boeh.
21 For he hath fed the barren that beareth not, and to the widow he hath done no good.
Kahoih ai kami loe caa kaak nongpata to pakrong, lamhmai tahmenhaih doeh tawn ai.
22 He hath pulled down the strong by his might: and when he standeth up, he shall not trust to his life.
Thacak kami to Sithaw mah a thacakhaih hoiah amrosak; nihcae thacak naah, kaminawk khosak monghaih tawn o ai.
23 God hath given him place for penance, and he abuseth it unto pride: but his eyes are upon his ways.
Sithaw mah anih to kamongah omsak doeh om tih; toe Angraeng mah a caehhaih loklam to khet parui pae.
24 They are lifted up for a little while and shall not stand, and shall be brought down as all things, and shall be taken away, and as the tops of the ears of corn they shall be broken.
Nawnetta thungah ni kasang ah pakoeh o, to pacoengah loe anghmat o boih; atlim ah zaeh tathuk moe, minawk kalah baktiah hinghaih to lak pae pacoengah, cangqui baktiah khaeh o.
25 And if it be not so, who can convince me that I have lied, and set my words before God?
Vaihi hae tiah om ai nahaeloe, ka thuih ih lok loe amsawn ni, avanghaih tidoeh om ai, tiah mi mah maw amtuengsak thai tih? tiah a thuih.
