Job 5
1 "Call now; is there any who will answer you? To which of the holy ones will you turn?
Khue laeh nang aka doo om nim? U hlangcim taengah na mael ve.
2 For resentment kills the foolish man, and jealousy kills the simple.
Aka ang te konoinah loh a ngawn tih hloih loh thatlainah a duek sak.
3 I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
Aka ang loh a yung a hlak ka hmuh vaengah a tolkhoeng buengrhuet ka tap.
4 His children are far from safety. They are crushed in the gate. Neither is there any to deliver them,
A ca rhoek te khangnah lamloh lakhla tih vongka ah a phop uh vaengah aka huul om pawh.
5 whose harvest the hungry eats up, and take it even out of the thorns. And the thirsty swallow up their wealth.
A cangah te bungpong loh a caak pah tih hlinghang lamkah a loh dae a thadueng te tuihal loh a mam pah.
6 For affliction doesn't come forth from the dust, neither does trouble spring out of the ground;
Laipi lamloh boethae thoeng pawt tih diklai lamloh thakthaenah a poe bal moenih.
7 but man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
Tedae hlang he thakthaenah khuiah a sak tih rhaek ca rhoek bangla ding hang.
8 "But as for me, I would seek God. I would commit my cause to God,
Tedae kai tah Pathen te ka toem vetih Pathen taengah ni ka dumlai khaw ka hal eh.
9 who does great things that can't be fathomed, marvelous things without number;
A len la a saii vaengah khobaerhambae te khenah lek pawh, tae lek pawh.
10 who gives rain on the earth, and sends waters on the fields;
Diklai hman ah khotlan a paek tih lohma li ah tui a hlah.
11 so that he sets up on high those who are low, those who mourn are exalted to safety.
Tlarhoel rhoek te hmuensang ah a khueh tih kopang rhoek te khangnah khuila a hoeptlang.
12 He frustrates the devices of the crafty, So that their hands can't perform their enterprise.
Aka thaai kah kopoek te a phae tih a kut loh lungming cueihnah saii thai pawh.
13 He traps the wise in their own craftiness, and the counsel of the cunning are brought to a quick end.
Aka cueih khaw amah kah rhaithinah neh a tuuk tih aka hlang hnuei kah cilsuep he hma paitok.
14 They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope at noonday as in the night.
Khothaih ah a hmuep neh hum uh tih khothun ah khoyin bangla a phatuem uh.
15 But he saves from the sword of their mouth, even the needy from the hand of the mighty.
Khodaeng te amih ka dongkah cunghang lamlong khaw tlungluen kut lamloh a khang.
16 So the poor has hope, and injustice shuts her mouth.
Te dongah tattloel ham ngaiuepnah om dae dumlai loh amah ka a buem.
17 "Look, blessed is the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise the chastening of Shaddai.
Pathen loh a toel hlanghing he a yoethen tih Tlungthang kah thuituennah sit boeh.
18 For he wounds, and binds up. He injures, and his hands make whole.
Amah loh a tloh sak dae a hma te a poi pah tih a kut dongah hoeih uh.
19 He will deliver you in six troubles; yes, in seven there shall no evil touch you.
Citcai parhuk lamloh nang n'huul vetih a parhih ah yoethae loh nang soah m'ben mahpawh.
20 In famine he will redeem you from death; in war, from the power of the sword.
Nang te khokha vaengah dueknah lamloh, caemtloek vaengah cunghang kut lamloh n'lat ni.
21 You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, neither shall you be afraid of destruction when it comes.
Olka dongkah rhuihet lamloh n'thuh vetih rhoelrhanah a pai vaengah na rhih mahpawh.
22 At destruction and famine you shall laugh, neither shall you be afraid of the animals of the earth.
Rhoelrhanah khui neh khokha rhamling khuiah na luem vetih diklai mulhing te na rhih mahpawh.
23 For you shall be in league with the stones of the field. The animals of the field shall be at peace with you.
Na paipi te khohmuen lungto taengah om vetih kohong mulhing loh nang taengah n'thuung ni.
24 You shall know that your tent is in peace. You shall visit your fold, and shall miss nothing.
Na dap kah rhoepnah te na ming vetih na tolkhoeng na soep vaengah na hmaai mahpawh.
25 You shall know also that your descendants shall be great, and your offspring as the grass of the earth.
Na tiingan muep na ming vetih na cadil cahma te khohmuen baelhing bangla om ni.
26 You shall come to your grave in a full age, like a shock of grain comes in its season.
A tue vaengkah canghlom a coi bangla na hminkhah vaengah phuel te na paan ni.
27 Look this, we have searched it, so it is. Hear it, and know it for your good."
He tah amah la n'khe uh tangloeng he ne. He he hnatun lamtah namah loh namah dongah ming,” a ti nah.
