< Job 24 >

1 Ipi dinga Hatchungung pan migiloute khu thutanna munna dinga ahin pui lou ham? Ipi dinga Pathen ging ten panna beija ama anga nga diu ham?
“Why aren’t times laid up by the Almighty? Why don’t those who know him see his days?
2 Miphalou ten gamgi melchihna achonun gam leiset agu jiuve. Amahon gancha akiguh uvin chuleh amaho gamsunga hamhing lah a alhalut uve.
There are people who remove the landmarks. They violently take away flocks, and feed them.
3 Amahon chagate sangan akilah un meithai ho bangchal bat man na apeh diuvin angeh jiuve.
They drive away the donkey of the fatherless, and they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
4 Mivaichate chu lampam ah asondoh un migiloute chu ahoidoh nadiuvin akisel khom jiuve.
They turn the needy out of the way. The poor of the earth all hide themselves.
5 Gamlah sangan ho gammang lah a aum bangin mivaichaten aphat jouseu neh ding holnan amangun achateu neh ding nelgam sanna aga hol uve.
Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert, they go out to their work, seeking diligently for food. The wilderness yields them bread for their children.
6 Amaho a hilou loujau lah a chang a-at jiuvin chule migiloute lengpilei lah a akhai achomkhom uve.
They cut their food in the field. They glean the vineyard of the wicked.
7 Jan khovah vah'in daplah ah akeuvun ponbeijin ahiloule kikhukhum ding neilouvin alum jiuve.
They lie all night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold.
8 Amaho chun molla konna hung phinlha gotwijin akot soh jiuvin chule chenna in ngaichan songpi bel din alhai khom jiuve.
They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for lack of a shelter.
9 Migilou ten meithai ho chasen chu anu oplhanga konin aloilhah peh un nausen ho chu thil manna tun din alahpeh jiuve.
There are those who pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor,
10 Mivaichate chu ponsil beijin akeuvun acheleuvin amaho tah anngol pumin midang ding chang a atkhom peh uve.
so that they go around naked without clothing. Being hungry, they carry the sheaves.
11 Amahon Olive thau achil lhauvin ahinlah atep diu jong akiphal peh pouve, chule dangchah thohpum pumin lengpi thei hehna khol ah na atohsah uve.
They make oil within the walls of these men. They tread wine presses, and suffer thirst.
12 Khopi a konin mithi ding kon ho ahung pengdoh uvin chule maha pu hon kithopi ngaichan akap uve. Ahivangin Pathen in ataonau imachan agelpeh poi.
From out of the populous city, men groan. The soul of the wounded cries out, yet God doesn’t regard the folly.
13 Migiloute chun khovah adouvun, amahon alampi hetpeh ding anom pouvin ahiloule alampi a jong aum pouve.
“These are of those who rebel against the light. They don’t know its ways, nor stay in its paths.
14 Mivaicha ho leh mi genthei ho that dingin tolthat ho chu jingpi phal vah'in athou jiuvin jan teng amapa chu guchan apang jin ahi.
The murderer rises with the light. He kills the poor and needy. In the night he is like a thief.
15 Numei jon pipan khomut chip chep angah jin hiche phat chuleh koiman eimu taponte atin koiman ahetdoh louna dingin amai asel jin ahi.
The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, ‘No eye will see me.’ He disguises his face.
16 Migucha ho chun jan tengle mi in asuse jiuvin chuleh sun leh a ihmu jiuve. Amaho chu khovah toh kihekha lou ahiuve.
In the dark they dig through houses. They shut themselves up in the daytime. They don’t know the light.
17 Jan muthim chu amaho din jingkah ahin amaho tah hi khojin kichatna toh kijopmat ahiuve.
For the morning is to all of them like thick darkness, for they know the terrors of the thick darkness.
18 Ahinlah amaho hi twinoi langa twihu bangin amang ji tauve, athilnei jouseu hi gaosapna ahi chule amaho alengpi lei uva alut diu jong akichauve.
“They are foam on the surface of the waters. Their portion is cursed in the earth. They don’t turn into the way of the vineyards.
19 Nichangsat leh sat in buhbang twi amanchah banga lhankhuh in jong michonse ho amanchah ahi. (Sheol h7585)
Drought and heat consume the snow waters, so does Sheol those who have sinned. (Sheol h7585)
20 Ahingnu tah'un jong hin sumil untin than hon amaho chu twitah in hin neuvin tin, koima chan amaho chu geldoh tapouvin te. Migiloute chu huipi gopin thingphung amutlhuh tobang hiuvinte.
The womb will forget him. The worm will feed sweetly on him. He will be no more remembered. Unrighteousness will be broken as a tree.
21 Kithopi ding chapa neilou meithai ho alhemlha jiuvin meithai gentheiho kithopi ding amaho anom pouve.
He devours the barren who don’t bear. He shows no kindness to the widow.
22 Pathen thanei nan miho chu akaimang jin amaho chu kichoisang maithei unte, ahinlah ahinkhou iti ding ham ti hetchetna anei pouve.
Yet God preserves the mighty by his power. He rises up who has no assurance of life.
23 Amahohi lungmong tah a ahin diu kiphal peh jeng jongleh Pathen in amaho chu avelhi jing jenge.
God gives them security, and they rest in it. His eyes are on their ways.
24 Chuleh tuhin amaho hi oupe lheh jong leu mitphet kah louvin adangho bangin che mang tauvin tin, changvui bangin satlhah in um uvinte.
They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone. Yes, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others, and are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.
25 Ahilou jongleh khat touvin achu thei ham? Koipen in kadih louna aphotchet thei ding ham?
If it isn’t so now, who will prove me a liar, and make my speech worth nothing?”
