Job 27
1 Job replied again [to his three friends],
Job loh amah kah a huel ham te a koei tih,
2 “Almighty God has refused to treat me justly/fairly. He has caused me to feel bitter/resentful. But [just as surely] as he lives,
“Pathen kah hingnah loh kai kah laitloeknah a khoe tih Tlungthang lo ka hinglu a phaep.
3 as long as God’s Spirit enables me to breathe,
Ka khuikah ka hiil boeih neh ka hnarhong khuikah he Pathen mueihla ni.
4 I will not lie; I [SYN] will not say anything to deceive anyone.
Ka hmuilai loh dumlai thui boel saeh lamtah ka lai loh palyal la caitawk boel saeh.
5 I will never admit that what you [three] have said is true; until the day that I die, I will insist that I have not done things that are wrong.
Nangmih te kan tang sak atah kai ham savisava. Ka pal duela ka muelhtuetnah he kamah lamloh ka khoe mahpawh.
6 I will say that I am innocent, and never (say anything different/change what I say); my conscience will never reproach me as long as I live.
Ka duengnah te ka kop vetih ka hlah mahpawh. Kamah tue lamlong tah ka thinko he veet voel mahpawh.
7 “I want my enemies to be [punished] like all wicked [people are punished]; I want [God to punish] those who oppose me like [he punishes all] unrighteous [people].
Ka thunkha te a halang bangla, kai aka tlai thil khaw a boethae bangla om saeh.
8 When [it is time for] God [to] get rid of godless/wicked people and [to] cause them to die, there is absolutely nothing good [RHQ] that they can confidently expect [to happen to them].
Lailak kah ngaiuepnah tah menim? A mueluem tih Pathen loh a hinglu a bong pah.
9 When they experience troubles, (will God hear them call [out to him for help]?/God certainly will not hear them call out [to him for help].) [RHQ]
A soah citcai loh a pai vaengah a pangngawlnah te Pathen loh a hnatun nim?
10 (Will they be happy about what Almighty [God] does?/They certainly will not be happy about what Almighty [God] does.) [RHQ] (Will they [begin to] pray to him frequently?/They certainly will not [begin to] pray to him frequently.) [RHQ] [Certainly not!]
Tlungthang dongah pang a dok vetih, a tue boeih ah Pathen a khue bitni.
11 “I will teach you [three] something about the power [MTY] of Almighty God [MTY]; I will reveal what he is thinking.
Pathen kah kut te nangmih kan thuinuet phoe vetih, Tlungthang taengkah te ka phah mahpawh.
12 But you [three] have seen for yourselves [what God has done]; so (why are you saying such nonsense?/you should not be saying such nonsense.) [RHQ]
Nangmih boeih khaw na hmuh vaengah balae tih a honghi neh na hoemdawk he.
13 “[I will tell you] what Almighty God does to wicked people, the things that he does to people who oppress others.
Halang hlang loh Pathen taeng lamkah khoyo neh hlanghaeng loh Tlungthang taeng lamkah rho a dang he,
14 [Even] if they have many children, [many of] those children will die in wars [MTY], and their [other] children will [die because they do] not have enough food to eat.
a ca te cunghang hamla a ping pah tih a cadil cahma khaw buh cung uh mahpawh.
15 Their children who are still alive will die from diseases, and their widows will not [even] mourn for them.
A rhaengnaeng, a rhaengnaeng te dueknah loh a up vetih a nuhmai rhoek loh rhah uh mahpawh.
16 Sometimes [wicked people] accumulate a huge amount [SIM] of silver and pile up clothes like [SIM] those clothes were a pile of clay,
Cak te laipi bangla hmoeng vetih hnicu te dikpo bangla soe ni.
17 but [those wicked people will die, and then] righteous people will wear those clothes, and honest/innocent people will get their silver and divide it [among themselves].
Tawn cakhaw aka dueng loh a bai vetih cak te ommongsitoe loh a tael ni.
18 The houses that they build are [as frail/fragile] as [SIM] spider webs, or they are like flimsy huts that watchmen live in [while they guard people’s fields].
A im te ning bangla a sak tih dungtlungim bangla rhalrhing a khueh.
19 Wicked people are rich when they lie down [at night], but when they wake up [in the morning, they find out that] their money has disappeared.
Hlanglen la yalh dae khoem uh mahpawh. A mik a dai dae amah om voel pawh.
20 “Things that terrify them [PRS] strike them like a flood [SIM]; during the night a whirlwind carries them away.
Anih te tui bangla mueirhih loh a phatawt khoyin ah cangpalam loh a pom.
21 [It is as though] the wind from the east picks them up and carries them away from their homes, and they disappear.
Anih te kanghawn loh a khuen tih khum. Te vaengah anih te amah hmuen lamloh a yawn.
22 That wind strikes them without pitying them while they are running away, trying to escape from its force/power [MTY].
Anih te a voeih tih lungma a ti pawt dongah a kut lamloh yong la yong coeng.
23 That wind [is like someone] clapping his hands [MET] at them [to ridicule them], howling at them wherever they run to.”
A taengah a kut a paeng uh tih anih te amah hmuen lamloh kut a ving thil.
