Job 24
1 Wherefore from the Mighty One Times have not been hidden, And those knowing Him have not seen His days.
Bangkong maw atuengnaw heh Athakasaipounge ni a hro hoeh vaw, ama kapanueknaw ni amamae ahnin hah a hmu thai awh hoeh vaw.
2 The borders they reach, A drove they have taken violently away, Yea, they do evil.
Tangawn ni khori hah a puen awh. Saringnaw hah a lawp awh teh ama hanelah a paca awh.
3 The ass of the fatherless they lead away, They take in pledge the ox of the widow,
Naranaw e la hah a pâlei pouh awh teh, lahmai e maitotan hah lawkkamnae lah a pangen pouh awh.
4 They turn aside the needy from the way, Together have hid the poor of the earth.
Tami kavoutthoupnaw hah lamthung a phen sak awh. Ram thung e karoedengnaw hah pâkhueng teh, kâhro hoi ao awh.
5 Lo, wild asses in a wilderness, They have gone out about their work, Seeking early for prey, A mixture for himself — food for young ones.
Thingyeiyawn ramke dawk e la patetlah, rawca tawng hanelah, thaw tawk han lah a cei awh. Amamouh hoi a canaw hanelah ram ni ca hane rawca a tâco sak.
6 In a field his provender they reap, And the vineyard of the wicked they glean.
Law dawk e saringnaw e rawca hah a pâkhueng teh, tamikathoutnaw e misurpaw hah a pâtung awh.
7 The naked they cause to lodge Without clothing. And there is no covering in the cold.
Khohna e awm laipalah karum khodai caici lah a i awh. Pâding nah kâkhu hane tawn awh hoeh.
8 From the inundation of hills they are wet, And without a refuge — have embraced a rock.
Mon dawk kho ka rak e ni cupkâkasu lah a pâsin teh, a phui nahanelah lungsongpui a kângue awh.
9 They take violently away From the breast the orphan, And on the poor they lay a pledge.
A na pa kaawm hoeh e camo teh, a manu e sanu hoi a pâphei sak. Karoedengnaw hah amamae hno hah a pâhung sak.
10 Naked, they have gone without clothing, And hungry — have taken away a sheaf.
Karoedengnaw, hah caici lah ao sak awh. A von kahlamnaw koe e cabong hah a la pouh awh.
11 Between their walls they make oil, Wine-presses they have trodden, and thirst.
Ayânaw im vah satui hah a kuen awh teh, misurpaw katin nalaihoi tui a kahran awh.
12 Because of enmity men do groan, And the soul of pierced ones doth cry, And God doth not give praise.
Khopui thung vah hmenghmeng a due awh teh, a hramki awh. Hmâ a ca awh teh, hringnae hah a kaw awh. Hateiteh, Cathut ni a ratoum awh e hah pato hoeh.
13 They have been among rebellious ones of light, They have not discerned His ways, Nor abode in His paths.
Angnae hah taranlahoi tarankathawnaw hah ao. A lamthung hah panuek awh hoeh teh, angnae lamthung hah ngai awh hoeh.
14 At the light doth the murderer rise, He doth slay the poor and needy, And in the night he is as a thief.
Tamikathetnaw ni angnae dawk hoi a thaw awh teh, karoedengnaw hoi kavoutthoupnaw hah a thei awh. Karum e tami tamru patetlah ao awh.
15 And the eye of an adulterer Hath observed the twilight, Saying, 'No eye doth behold me.' And he putteth the face in secret.
Ayâ yu yonkhai hane mit ni khohmo a ngaihawi. Minhmai a hro teh, apini na hmawt mahoeh telah a pouk.
16 He hath dug in the darkness — houses; By day they shut themselves up, They have not known light.
Kanîthun lah mitnout a ta e im hah karum lah a muk awh teh, angnae hah panuek awh hoeh.
17 When together, morning [is] to them death shade, When he discerneth the terrors of death shade.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh hanelah teh, amom hah duenae tâhlip patetlah ao. Tami ni panuek awh boipawiteh, takikatho poung e duenae tâhlip doeh ati awh han.
18 Light he [is] on the face of the waters, Vilified is their portion in the earth, He turneth not the way of vineyards.
Tui hoi karanglah pâyo sak lah ao awh han. Talai dawkvah coe hane thoebo lah ao han. Hatdawkvah, apihai misur takha lamthung koe lah kamlang mahoeh.
Kawmpoi khumbei kâan e ni tadamtui a kamyawt sak. Hot patetvanlah, phuen ni yonnae ka sak e hah a payawp awh. (Sheol h7585)
20 Forget him doth the womb, Sweeten [on] him doth the worm, No more is he remembered, And broken as a tree is wickedness.
Camo im ni a pahnim awh vaiteh, tangraet ni katuipoung lah a ca awh han.
21 Treating evil the barren [who] beareth not, And [to] the widow he doth no good,
Bangkongtetpawiteh, cakaroe e hah a rektap teh, lahmainu hanelah hnokahawi lah awmhoeh.
22 And hath drawn the mighty by his power, He riseth, and none believeth in life.
Hateiteh, Cathut ni athaonae hoi, tami athakaawme taminaw e lamthung hah a raphoe pouh. Hring hane kamcenglah a panue hoeh nakunghai, Ama ni a thaw sak.
23 He giveth to him confidence, and he is supported, And his eyes [are] on their ways.
A kângue hane a poe teh, hawvah a kâhat sak. A mit teh ahnimae lamthung dawk ao.
24 High they were [for] a little, and they are not, And they have been brought low. As all [others] they are shut up, And as the head of an ear of corn cut off.
Vai touh hoi tawm lah ao teh, hat hnukkhu hoi a kahma awh. Rahnoum sak la ao teh, ayânaw patetvanlah a kâhmo van han. Cavui patetlah a ke awh.
25 And if not now, who doth prove me a liar, And doth make of nothing my word?
Hot patetlah awm hoeh pawiteh, apini maw na laithoe a tithai han. Ka dei e heh bang hoeh e lah ka coung sak thai e na o awh maw telah a ti.
