Job 23
1 Bvt Iob answered and sayd,
Job loh a doo tih,
2 Though my talke be this day in bitternes, and my plague greater then my groning,
Tihnin ah khaw boekoek bangla ka kohuetnah loh ka kut he ka hueinah neh a nan.
3 Would God yet I knew how to finde him, I would enter vnto his place.
U loh n'khueh khaw ka ming vetih amah te ka hmuh phoeiah amah kah hmuenmol la ka pha lah mako?
4 I would pleade the cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
A mikhmuh ah laitloeknah ka khueng lah vetih ka ka ah toelthamnah ka paem lah mako.
5 I would knowe the wordes, that he would answere me, and would vnderstand what he would say vnto me.
Olthui te ka ming tih kai n'doo vaengkah kai hamla a thui te ka yakming lah mako.
6 Would he plead against me with his great power? No, but he would put strength in me.
Thadueng cungkuem neh kai n'ho saeh a? Amah loh kai taengah khueh het mahpawt a?
7 There the righteous might reason with him, so I shoulde be deliuered for euer from my Iudge.
Aka thuem te a hmaiah a tluung pahoi lah vetih kai he laitloek khui lamloh a yoeyah la ka loeih mako.
8 Behold, if I go to the East, he is not there: if to the West, yet I can not perceiue him:
Khothoeng la ka caeh mai akhaw amah a om moenih. A hnuk ah khaw anih te ka yakming moenih.
9 If to the North where he worketh, yet I cannot see him: he wil hide himselfe in the South, and I cannot beholde him.
Banvoei ah a saii vaengah ka hmuh moenih. Bantang la a mael vaengah ka hmuh moenih.
10 But he knoweth my way, and trieth mee, and I shall come forth like the gold.
Tedae longpuei a ming dongah kai he ka taengah n'noemcai tih sui bangla ka thoeng.
11 My foote hath followed his steps: his way haue I kept, and haue not declined.
A khokan te ka khopha loh a vai. A longpuei te ka ngaithuen tih ka phael moenih.
12 Neyther haue I departed from the commandement of his lippes, and I haue esteemed the words of his mouth more then mine appointed foode.
A hmuilai kah olpaek khaw ka hlong pawt tih ka buhvae lakah a ka lamkah ol ni ka khoem.
13 Yet he is in one minde, and who can turne him? yea, he doeth what his minde desireth.
Tedae amah tah pakhat la om tih ulong anih a mael thil thai? Te dongah a hinglu kah a ngaih bangla a saii.
14 For he will performe that, which is decreed of me, and many such things are with him.
Ka oltlueh te a thuung tih te bang te amah taengah yet.
15 Therefore I am troubled at his presence, and in considering it, I am afraid of him.
Te dongah a mikhmuh lamloh ka let coeng. Ka yakming dongah amah te ka rhih.
16 For God hath softened mine heart, and the Almightie hath troubled me.
Pathen loh kai lungbuei a phoena sak tih tlungthang loh kai n'let sak.
17 For I am not cut off in darknesse, but he hath hid the darkenesse from my face.
Tedae a hmuep kah maelhmai loh m'biit pawt tih ka maelhmai te a khohmuep loh a dah moenih.
