Job 24
1 "Why aren't times made known by Shaddai? Why do not those who 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 people who 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 donkey of the fatherless, and 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 all hide themselves.
Tami kavoutthoupnaw hah lamthung a phen sak awh. Ram thung e karoedengnaw hah pâkhueng teh, kâhro hoi ao awh.
5 Look, as wild donkeys in the desert, they go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food. The wilderness yields 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 their provender in the field. They glean 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 lack 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 those who 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 around naked without clothing. 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 walls of these men. They tread wine presses, 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. The soul of the wounded cries out, yet God doesn't regard the folly.
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 those who rebel against the light. They do not know its ways, nor abide in its paths.
Angnae hah taranlahoi tarankathawnaw hah ao. A lamthung hah panuek awh hoeh teh, angnae lamthung hah ngai awh hoeh.
14 The murderer rises with the light. He kills the poor and needy. In the night he is like 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 waits for the twilight, saying, 'No eye shall see me.' He disguises 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 daytime. They do not know the light.
Kanîthun lah mitnout a ta e im hah karum lah a muk awh teh, angnae hah panuek awh hoeh.
17 For the morning is to all of them like thick darkness, for they know the terrors of the thick darkness.
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 "They are foam on the surface of the waters. Their portion is cursed in the earth. They do not turn into 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.
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 shall forget him. The worm shall feed sweetly on him. He shall be no more remembered. Unrighteousness shall be broken as a tree.
Camo im ni a pahnim awh vaiteh, tangraet ni katuipoung lah a ca awh han.
21 He devours the barren who do not bear. He shows no kindness to the widow.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, cakaroe e hah a rektap teh, lahmainu hanelah hnokahawi lah awmhoeh.
22 Yet he preserves the mighty by his power. He rises up who has no assurance of 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 He gives them security, and they rest in it. His eyes are on their ways.
A kângue hane a poe teh, hawvah a kâhat sak. A mit teh ahnimae lamthung dawk ao.
24 They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone. Yes, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others, and are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.
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 If it isn't so now, who will prove me a liar, and make my speech worth nothing?"
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.
