Job 24
1 Why are times not laid up by the Almighty? And why do not they that know Him see His days?
Bangkong maw atuengnaw heh Athakasaipounge ni a hro hoeh vaw, ama kapanueknaw ni amamae ahnin hah a hmu thai awh hoeh vaw.
2 There are that remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed them.
Tangawn ni khori hah a puen awh. Saringnaw hah a lawp awh teh ama hanelah a paca awh.
3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.
Naranaw e la hah a pâlei pouh awh teh, lahmai e maitotan hah lawkkamnae lah a pangen pouh awh.
4 They turn the needy out of the way; the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
Tami kavoutthoupnaw hah lamthung a phen sak awh. Ram thung e karoedengnaw hah pâkhueng teh, kâhro hoi ao awh.
5 Behold, as wild asses in the wilderness they go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food; the desert yieldeth them bread for their children.
Thingyeiyawn ramke dawk e la patetlah, rawca tawng hanelah, thaw tawk han lah a cei awh. Amamouh hoi a canaw hanelah ram ni ca hane rawca a tâco sak.
6 They cut his provender in the field; and they despoil the vineyard of the wicked.
Law dawk e saringnaw e rawca hah a pâkhueng teh, tamikathoutnaw e misurpaw hah a pâtung awh.
7 They lie all night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold.
Khohna e awm laipalah karum khodai caici lah a i awh. Pâding nah kâkhu hane tawn awh hoeh.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
Mon dawk kho ka rak e ni cupkâkasu lah a pâsin teh, a phui nahanelah lungsongpui a kângue awh.
9 There are that pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor;
A na pa kaawm hoeh e camo teh, a manu e sanu hoi a pâphei sak. Karoedengnaw hah amamae hno hah a pâhung sak.
10 So that they go about naked without clothing, and being hungry they carry the sheaves;
Karoedengnaw, hah caici lah ao sak awh. A von kahlamnaw koe e cabong hah a la pouh awh.
11 They make oil within the rows of these men; they tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
Ayânaw im vah satui hah a kuen awh teh, misurpaw katin nalaihoi tui a kahran awh.
12 From out of the populous city men groan, and the soul of the wounded crieth out; yet God imputeth it not for unseemliness.
Khopui thung vah hmenghmeng a due awh teh, a hramki awh. Hmâ a ca awh teh, hringnae hah a kaw awh. Hateiteh, Cathut ni a ratoum awh e hah pato hoeh.
13 These are of them that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
Angnae hah taranlahoi tarankathawnaw hah ao. A lamthung hah panuek awh hoeh teh, angnae lamthung hah ngai awh hoeh.
14 The murderer riseth with the light, to kill the poor and needy; and in the night he is as a thief.
Tamikathetnaw ni angnae dawk hoi a thaw awh teh, karoedengnaw hoi kavoutthoupnaw hah a thei awh. Karum e tami tamru patetlah ao awh.
15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying: 'No eye shall see me'; and he putteth a covering on his face.
Ayâ yu yonkhai hane mit ni khohmo a ngaihawi. Minhmai a hro teh, apini na hmawt mahoeh telah a pouk.
16 In the dark they dig through houses; they shut themselves up in the day-time; they know not the light.
Kanîthun lah mitnout a ta e im hah karum lah a muk awh teh, angnae hah panuek awh hoeh.
17 For the shadow of death is to all of them as the morning; for they know the terrors of the shadow of death.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh hanelah teh, amom hah duenae tâhlip patetlah ao. Tami ni panuek awh boipawiteh, takikatho poung e duenae tâhlip doeh ati awh han.
18 He is swift upon the face of the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth; he turneth not by the way of the vineyards.
Tui hoi karanglah pâyo sak lah ao awh han. Talai dawkvah coe hane thoebo lah ao han. Hatdawkvah, apihai misur takha lamthung koe lah kamlang mahoeh.
19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters; so doth the nether-world those that have sinned. (Sheol h7585)
Kawmpoi khumbei kâan e ni tadamtui a kamyawt sak. Hot patetvanlah, phuen ni yonnae ka sak e hah a payawp awh. (Sheol h7585)
20 The womb forgetteth him; the worm feedeth sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and unrighteousness is broken as a tree.
Camo im ni a pahnim awh vaiteh, tangraet ni katuipoung lah a ca awh han.
21 He devoureth the barren that beareth not; and doeth not good to the widow.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, cakaroe e hah a rektap teh, lahmainu hanelah hnokahawi lah awmhoeh.
22 He draweth away the mighty also by his power; he riseth up, and he trusteth not his own life.
Hateiteh, Cathut ni athaonae hoi, tami athakaawme taminaw e lamthung hah a raphoe pouh. Hring hane kamcenglah a panue hoeh nakunghai, Ama ni a thaw sak.
23 Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth, yet His eyes are upon their ways.
A kângue hane a poe teh, hawvah a kâhat sak. A mit teh ahnimae lamthung dawk ao.
24 They are exalted for a little while, and they are gone; yea, they are brought low, they are gathered in as all others, and wither as the tops of the ears of corn.
Vai touh hoi tawm lah ao teh, hat hnukkhu hoi a kahma awh. Rahnoum sak la ao teh, ayânaw patetvanlah a kâhmo van han. Cavui patetlah a ke awh.
25 And if it be not so now, who will prove me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
Hot patetlah awm hoeh pawiteh, apini maw na laithoe a tithai han. Ka dei e heh bang hoeh e lah ka coung sak thai e na o awh maw telah a ti.
