< Job 23 >

1 And Job answers and says:
Hichun Job in aseikit in:
2 “Also—today my complaint [is] bitter, My hand has been heavy because of my sighing.
Kakiphinna tuni chan geijin akhoh cheh cheh in chule pendoh lou ding hatah in kagoi.
3 O that I had known—and I find Him, I come to His seat,
Keiman Pathen ama umna bouseh kahol doh thei hileh keima athutanna munna kache ding ahi.
4 I arrange the cause before Him, And fill my mouth [with] arguments.
Kachung chang thuhi kaluidoh a chuleh kaki phin a thu kasei ding ahi.
5 I know the words He answers me, And understand what He says to me.
Chuteng leh keiman eidonbutna kangaija chuleh kakoma ipi asei ham ti kahetdoh ding ahi.
6 Does He strive with me in the abundance of power? No! Surely He puts [it] in me.
Athahatna jousea chu keima einel ding ham? Ahipoi aman ngainom umtah'a eidonbut ding ahi.
7 There the upright reason with Him, And I escape from mine who is judging—forever.
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 Behold, I go forward—and He is not, And backward—and I do not perceive Him.
Solama kachen ahin hiche mun a chun ama anaumpon, lhumlam a kachen ahinlah ama kaga mu poi.
9 [To] the left in His working—and I do not see, He is covered [on] the right, and I do not behold.
Sahlang gam kahol in kaga mu joupoi, ijeh inem itile ama kisel ah ahi. Keiman lhanglang gam kaven ahinlah ama akisel mangah ahitai.
10 For He has known the way with me, He has tried me—I go forth as gold.
Ahin aman hoiya kache ahen ahi, chuleh aman ei patep tengle sana thengsel banga kahung doh ding ahi.
11 My foot has laid hold on His step, I have kept His way, and do not turn aside,
Ijeh inem itile Pathen lampi a um kahin kihei mang louhel a alampi chu kajui ahi.
12 The command of His lips, and I do not depart. I have laid up above my allotted portion The sayings of His mouth.
Athupeh a kon in kapotdoh khapon ahinlah niseh anneh twidon sangin athusei ho gou khol in kaki khol e.
13 And He [is] in one [mind], And who turns Him back? And His soul has desired—and He does [it].
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 For He completes my portion, And many such things [are] 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 Therefore, I am troubled at His presence, I consider, and am afraid of Him.
Datmo louhel in ama aum tengle kaki cha behseh jin hiche ho kagel tengle kaki cha behseh ji e.
16 And God has made my heart soft, And the Mighty has troubled me.
Pathen in kalung anat sah in lungchang nan eisem in Hatchungnung pa chun ei tijat sah e.
17 For I have not been cut off before darkness, And before me He covered thick darkness.”
Muthim in ei umkim vellin athimdan seijou lou chu muntin a aume.
