< Job 23 >

1 And Job answereth and saith: —
Hichun Job in aseikit in:
2 Also — to-day [is] my complaint bitter, My hand hath been heavy because of my sighing.
Kakiphinna tuni chan geijin akhoh cheh cheh in chule pendoh lou ding hatah in kagoi.
3 O that I had known — and I find Him, I come in unto His seat,
Keiman Pathen ama umna bouseh kahol doh thei hileh keima athutanna munna kache ding ahi.
4 I arrange before Him the cause, And my mouth fill [with] arguments.
Kachung chang thuhi kaluidoh a chuleh kaki phin a thu kasei ding ahi.
5 I know the words He doth answer me, And understand what He saith to me.
Chuteng leh keiman eidonbutna kangaija chuleh kakoma ipi asei ham ti kahetdoh ding ahi.
6 In the abundance of power doth He strive with me? No! surely He putteth [it] in me.
Athahatna jousea chu keima einel ding ham? Ahipoi aman ngainom umtah'a eidonbut ding ahi.
7 There the upright doth reason with Him, And I escape for ever from my judge.
Milungtheng ho chun amatoh ngaito khom theijun tin hijeh a chu keima thutanna'a konna a itih a dinga lhadoh a kaum ding ahitai.
8 Lo, forward I go — and He is not, And backward — and I perceive him not.
Solama kachen ahin hiche mun a chun ama anaumpon, lhumlam a kachen ahinlah ama kaga mu poi.
9 [To] the left in His working — and I see not, He is covered [on] the right, and I behold not.
Sahlang gam kahol in kaga mu joupoi, ijeh inem itile ama kisel ah ahi. Keiman lhanglang gam kaven ahinlah ama akisel mangah ahitai.
10 For He hath known the way with me, He hath tried me — as gold I go forth.
Ahin aman hoiya kache ahen ahi, chuleh aman ei patep tengle sana thengsel banga kahung doh ding ahi.
11 On His step hath my foot laid hold, His way I have kept, and turn not aside,
Ijeh inem itile Pathen lampi a um kahin kihei mang louhel a alampi chu kajui ahi.
12 The command of His lips, and I depart not. Above my allotted portion I have laid up The sayings of His mouth.
Athupeh a kon in kapotdoh khapon ahinlah niseh anneh twidon sangin athusei ho gou khol in kaki khol e.
13 And He [is] in one [mind], And who doth turn Him back? And His soul hath desired — and He doth [it].
Ahinlah aman khatvei kigel lhahna anei tengleh koipen in alungthim akhelsah thei ding ham? Aman abol nomchan chu ipi hijongle abol jing ding ahi.
14 For He doth complete my portion, And many such things [are] with Him.
Hijeh a chu ipi hijongle kachunga kathilgon jouse chu eibol doh peh a kavanga ana umsa chu aman athuneina noija akoi ding ahi.
15 Therefore, from His presence I am troubled, I consider, and am afraid of Him.
Datmo louhel in ama aum tengle kaki cha behseh jin hiche ho kagel tengle kaki cha behseh ji e.
16 And God hath made my heart soft, And the Mighty hath troubled me.
Pathen in kalung anat sah in lungchang nan eisem in Hatchungnung pa chun ei tijat sah e.
17 For I have not been cut off before darkness, And before me He covered thick darkness.
Muthim in ei umkim vellin athimdan seijou lou chu muntin a aume.
