Job 27
1 And Job again took up his measure, and said: —
Job mah a thuih ih patahhaih lok to thuih patomh poe;
2 As GOD liveth who hath taken away my right, even the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul;
ka toenghaih ang lak pae ving; ka hinghaih patangkhangsak, Thacak Sithaw loe hing pongah,
3 All the while my inspiration is in me, and the spirit of GOD is in my nostrils,
ka hinghaih takhi ka takpum thungah oh nathung, Sithaw ih takhi ka hnaqong thungah oh nathung,
4 Verily my lips shall not speak perversity, nor shall, my tongue, utter deceit.
ka pahni mah kahoih ai hmuen to thui mak ai, ka palai mah alinghaih lok thui mak ai.
5 Far be it from me! that I should justify, you, —Even until I breathe my last, will I not let go mine integrity from me:
Nang loe na toeng tiah, thuih han ih lok to Sithaw mah pakaa nasoe; ka duek khoek to ka toenghaih ka pahnawt sut mak ai.
6 On my righteousness, have I taken fast hold, and will not give it up, My heart shall not reproach any of my days.
Ka toenghaih to kacakah ka patawnh, ka prawt ving mak ai; ka hing thung ka palung mah kai hae kasae thui mak ai.
7 Let mine enemy be a veritably lawless one! And, he that lifteth himself up against me, one veritably perverse!
Ka misanawk loe kasae kami ah om o nasoe loe, kai tuk han angthawk kaminawk loe katoeng ai kami ah om o nasoe.
8 For what shall be the hope of the impious, though he graspeth with greed, when GOD shall draw forth his soul?
Angsah cop kami loe duek moe, Sithaw mah a hinghaih lak pae ving naah, oephaih timaw tawn vop tih?
9 His outcry, will GOD hear, when there cometh upon him distress?
Anih nuiah raihaih phak naah, Sithaw mah anih qahhaih lok to tahngai pae maw?
10 Verily, in the Almighty, he will not find delight, nor call on GOD continually!
Anih loe Thacak Sithaw khaeah anghoe thai tih maw? Anih mah Sithaw to kawk khing tih maw?
11 I would teach you, by the hand of GOD, That which is with the Almighty, will I not conceal.
Sithaw thacakhaih to kang patuek han; Thacak Sithaw poekhaih thuih hanah kang phat mak ai.
12 Lo! ye, have, all of you, seen, Wherefore, then, is it, that ye are utterly without purpose?
Khenah, nangmacae mah roe na hnuk o boeh; tipongah kavang ai lok to na thuih o loe?
13 This, is the portion of a lawless man with GOD, That, the heritage of tyrants—from the Almighty, he shall receive.
Sithaw mah kasae kami han paek ih taham, kasae kami mah Thacak Sithaw khae hoi hnuk han koi qawk loe hae tiah oh;
14 If his children be multiplied, for them, [there is] the sword, and, his offspring, shall not be filled with bread;
anih ih caanawk loe pop o parai cadoeh, sumsen hoi hum han ih ni oh o; anih ih caa patoeng kaminawk doeh caaknaek kakhawt ah tawn o mak ai.
15 His survivors, by pestilence, shall come to the grave, and, his widows, shall not weep;
Kahing kanghmat kaminawk loe duekhaih mah muek tih; a zu lamhmainawk loe qah o thai mak ai.
16 Though he heap up silver like, dust, and, like a pile, he prepare clothing,
Anih mah sumkanglung to maiphu baktiah tapop moe, khukbuennawk to tangphrung long baktiah sah langlacadoeh,
17 He may prepare, but, the righteous, shall put on, and, the silver, shall the innocent apportion.
a tawnh ih hmuen to katoeng kami mah ni angkhuk tih, zaehaih tawn ai kami mah phoisa to pazet tih.
18 He hath built, like a moth, his house, —like a hut, which a watcher hath made.
A sak ih im doeh bongpaha tabu baktiah om ueloe, misa toephaih im baktiah ni om tih.
19 The rich man, shall lie down, and not do it again, his eyes, hath he opened, and then is not.
Hmuenmae angraeng kami iih han angsong naah loe, hmuennawk tawn mang let mak ai boeh; anih mah mik padai naah, hmuenmaenawk anghmat o boih.
20 There shall reach him—like waters—terrors, By night, a storm-wind hath stolen him away;
Zitthok hmuen mah anih to tuipui baktiah uem ueloe, khoving ah takhi sae mah hmut boih tih.
21 An east wind shall lift him up, and he shall depart, and it shall sweep him away out of his place;
Ni angyae bang ih takhi mah anih to hmuh moe, anghmat ving; a ohhaih ahmuen hoiah kaham takhi sae mah hmuh ving.
22 And He will cast upon him and not spare, Out of his hand, shall he, swiftly flee;
Anih loe Sithaw ih ban thung hoiah loih han koeh, toe Sithaw mah tahmenhaih tawn ai ah anih to danpaek tih.
23 He shall clap over him his hands, and shall hiss him forth out of his place.
To naah kaminawk mah ban tabaeng o thui tih, anih kawng kasae thui o ueloe, a ohhaih ahmuen hoiah haek o ving tih.
