Job 16
1 Job replied [to Eliphaz and the others: ]
Chuin Job apaodoh kit in;
2 “I have heard things like that before; all of you, [instead of helping me, ] are only causing me to feel more miserable.
Hicheng ho jouse hi masanga kanajah sa ahitai, itobang genthei um milham nahiu hitam?
3 Will your speeches, which are only hot air, never end [RHQ]? Eliphaz, what bothers/irritates you so much that you continue replying to me?
Hui sathethu nung hi nasuh tang theilouvu ham? Ipi hin tang louhella thu nasei sah sah jengu ham?
4 If it were you [three and not I] who were suffering, I could say the things that you are saying; I could make great speeches [to criticize/condemn you], and I could shake my head at you [to ridicule you].
Keiumna munna hi um hileu chun ken jong hitobang hi kaseithei ding ahi. Ken vang douna thu twilon banga kalon doh sah a chule kalu kathin khum ding nahi.
5 But, [unlike all of you, ] with what I said [MTY] I would encourage you and try to cause your pain to be less.
Ahinlah kei chu ana hileng katil khouva nalengvai naho lahmang peh ding kagot ding ahi.
6 “But now, if I talk, my pain does not decrease, and if I am silent, my pain still certainly does not [RHQ] go away.
Hiche ho khel hin kathoh gimna in kei le kei kaki vengbit in chule thusei ding kada jongleh kathoh natna alhom chom deh poi.
7 God has now taken away all my strength, and he has destroyed my family.
O Pathen nangin tollhanga nei koilhan chule kachilhah nasugam tai.
8 He has shriveled me up, and people think that shows that I [am a sinner]. And people see that I am only skin and bones, and they think that proves that I [am guilty].
Kana chonsetna ho photchet peh ding bang in, nangin kavun le kagu keuseh in neikoitai. Katahsa gong lhenglhung hin kei dounan aphochen tai.
9 Because God is very angry with me and hates me, [it is as though he is a wild animal that] [MET] has gnashed his teeth at me because he is my enemy.
Pathen in eivet dan chule lunghang tah in ahal hal in eibot tellin, aha eigel khum khume, chule amitchang sal tenin eihin vei.
10 People gape/stare at me with their mouths open [to sneer at me]; they have struck me on the face/cheek to ridicule me, and they crowd around me to threaten me.
Mihon eija piuvin chule einuisat uve, amahon isah loutah in kabengphe eibeh peh un kei dou dingin mipi ahung kikhom uve.
11 [It is as though] God has handed me over to ungodly people and turned me over to the wicked [DOU].
Pathen in michonse ho khutna eipedoh in, aman migiloute khutna eiseplut tai.
12 Previously, I was living peacefully, but he crushed me; [it is as though] he grabbed my neck and smashed me to pieces. [It is as though] [MET] he set me up like a target;
Aman eisat teldeh kahsen thipbeh in kaum in, kalol in eiman in ahal hal in eisuchip jengin chuti chun abidoi dingin eitung doh e.
13 people are surrounding me [and shooting arrows at me]. His arrows pierce my kidneys and cause the bile [from my liver] to spill onto the ground, and God does not pity me at all.
Chule tun athalkap them hon eium kimvel un, athal chang uvin lungsetna beihel in eisun uvin tollhanga kathisan avei jenge.
14 [It is as though] [MET] I am a wall that he is breaking through; he rushes at me like [SIM] a soldier [attacking his enemies].
Keidou nan avel vel in eisu teldeh jengin, gal hatpa mibolna bangin eino khume.
15 [“Because I am mourning, ] I wear pieces of rough cloth that I have sewed together, and I sit [here] in the dirt, very depressed/discouraged.
Kagenthei vetsahnan khaodip pon kakisil in kaki letsahna leivui lah a akijam tai.
16 My face is red because I have cried very much, and there are dark circles around my eyes.
Kaka kanan kamit asan lhatan, kamit teni athim sohtai.
17 [All this has happened to me] even though I have not acted violently [toward anyone], and I [always] pray sincerely/honestly [to God].
Ahijeng vang'in thil dihlou kabolpon chule kataona athenge.
18 [When I die, ] I want the ground [APO] to [act as though I had been murdered and] cry out against those who killed me, and I do not want anyone to stop me while I am demanding [that God act justly toward] me.
O leiset kathisan selmang hihbeh in, keikhellin hung kapdoh uhen.
19 But even now, [I know that] there is someone in heaven who will testify for me, and he will say that what I have done is right.
Tu jengin jong eihetdoh sah ding vanna aume, kachung thu eiseipeh ding chu chung sanga aume.
20 My [three] friends scorn/ridicule me, but my eyes are full of tears [while I cry out] to God.
Kagol kapai ten eideimo uvin ahinlah ken kamitlhi Pathen a kasung lhai.
21 I pray that [the] one [who knows what I have done] would come to plead with God for me like people plead for their friends.
Gollepaiho sucham theipa banga Pathen le kei kikah eikicham sah thei ding mi khattou kangai chai.
22 [I say this because] within a few years [I will die]; I will walk along the [to the grave] from which I will never return.”
Kahung kinung lekit tahlou nading lamlenna chu chesuh vahding kahitai.
