< Job 33 >

1 Job kathusei hohi ngaijin, kathusei dingho hi lunglut in ngaijin.
Howbeit hear, Job, my words, and hearken to my speech.
2 Tun kathusei hitihin pan kit ing ting banjom tange.
For behold, I have opened my mouth, and my tongue has spoken.
3 Kasei jouse hi lung thengsel'a kasei ahin, thutah kasei ahi.
My heart [shall be found] pure by [my] words; and the understanding of my lips shall meditate purity.
4 Ijeh inem itile Pathen lhagauvin eina sem ahi. Chuleh Hatchungnung pa hu haikhumin kahinna hi eipeh ahi.
The Divine Spirit is that which formed me, and the breath of the Almighty that which teaches me.
5 Naki ngachat leh nei donbut in, nachung chang thu kisem toh'in, chuleh nadin namun ah dingin.
If thou canst, give me an answer: wait therefore; stand against me, and I [will stand] against thee.
6 Ven nang leh kei inia Pathen a ihicheh e. Keijong leingan a ana kisem ah kahi.
Thou art formed out of the clay as also I: we have been formed out of the same [substance].
7 Hijeh a chu kei neikichat nading aumpoi, huham tah a kahung kumsuh lou ding ahi.
My fear shall not terrify thee, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
8 Nangin kajah ding thu naseisa ahitan, chule nathusei ho achang cheh a kajah ahi.
But thou hast said in mine ears, (I have heard the voice of thy words; ) because thou sayest, I am pure, not having sinned;
9 Nangin keima kathengin, kei chonsetna bei kahi, kei nolna bei themmona kaneipoi tin naseije.
I am blameless, for I have not transgressed.
10 Pathen in eikinah pin chuleh amelma in eingaito e.
Yet he has discovered a charge against me, and he has reckoned me as an adversary.
11 Kakeng teni khaokol sung ei chotlut sah in chuleh kakholhahna jouse amelchih e.
And he has put my foot in the stocks, and has watched all my ways.
12 Ahinlah nang nadih poi, chuleh ipi jeh ham ti navet sah inge. Ijeh inem itile miching ho sanga oupe jo ahi.
For how sayest thou, I am righteous, yet he has not hearkened to me? for he that is above mortals is eternal.
13 Ijeh inem itile ipi dinga nadouna a nanokhum ham? Ipi dinga aman mihem te kiphinna adonbut poi nati ham?
But thou sayest, Why has he not heard every word of my cause?
14 Ijeh inem itile mihem ten ahet theilou vanga Pathen in avel vel'a asei ahitai.
For when the Lord speaks once, or a second time,
15 Janmanga ahim, muneina ahim a mihemte ha imut a aimut pet u, ajalkhun chunga alup pet uva aman aseipeh u ahi.
[sending] a dream, or in the meditation of the night; (as when a dreadful alarm happens to fall upon men, in slumberings on the bed: )
16 Aman anabeng tenia ol chakhat in aseije, chule kichat tijatna a agih ji ahi.
then opens he the understanding of men: he scares them with such fearful visions:
17 Athilse bolnau va konna akinungle sah ji a, akiletsah nau alahmang ji ahi.
to turn a man from unrighteousness, and he delivers his body from a fall.
18 Lhankhuh a konna ahuhdoh a thina lui agal kai diuva jong ahuhdoh jiu ahi.
He spares also his soul from death, and [suffers] him not to fall in war.
19 Ahiloule Pathen in mihem tehi dammona jalkhun chunga natle sat toh tang louhel a agu achangin achi a hitia hi asuhdih ji ahi.
And again, he chastens him with sickness on his bed, and the multitude of his bones is benumbed.
20 Chuteng leh amahon anneh twipen pen jong aduchatna mang ji ahitai.
And he shall not be able to take any food, though his soul shall desire meat;
21 Amaho tahsa agongsuh tan chule agu achang aki langdoh soh tai.
until his flesh shall be consumed, and he shall shew his bones bare.
22 Amaho chu thina kotkhah gei ahitauvin, thina vantil chun amaho ana nga jiu ahitai.
His soul also draws nigh to death, and his life is in Hades.
23 Ahinlah vantil khat vanna kon in hung kilang hen, thupole chombeh khat chun mikhat dingin tao peh hen, chuleh amapa hi lungthengsel ahina phongdoh henlang,
Though there should be a thousand messengers of death, not one of them shall wound him: if he should purpose in his heart to turn to the Lord, and declare to man his fault, and shew his folly;
24 Amapa chu milungset them hihen lang, lhankhuh a konin huhdoh tauvin, ijeh inem itile keiman ahinkhou kilhatdoh na man ding chu kamutai tin seihen hileh,
he will support him, that he should not perish, and will restore his body as [fresh] plaster upon a wall; and he will fill his bones with morrow.
25 Chutileh atahsa chu chapang tahsa dehchet leh khangdong lai phat bangin hung damthei kit inte.
And he will make his flesh tender as that of a babe, and he will restore him among men in [his] full strength.
26 Pathen komma atau tengleh amachu kisan peh ding ahi. Chule Pathen in kipah in sang intin, chule adinmun hoitah in koi kit inte.
And he shall pray to the Lord, and his prayer shall be accepted of him; he shall enter with a cheerful countenance, with a full expression [of praise]: for he will render to men [their] due.
27 Amapan aloi agolte komma phongdoh intin keima kachonse tai chule thutah adihlou lamin kaheijin ahinlah hichu phatchomna bei ahi.
Even then a man shall blame himself, saying, What kind of things have I done? and he has not punished me according to the full amount of my sins.
28 Pathen in lhankhuh a konin eihuhdoh in chule tun kahinkho hi avahdoh tai.
Deliver my soul, that it may not go to destruction, and my life shall see the light.
29 Henge, Pathen in hitobang thil hohi avel vella mihem tedinga abolji ahi.
Behold, all these things, the Mighty One works in a threefold manner with a man.
30 Aman amaho chu lhankhuh a konin ahuhdoh in hijeh chun amaho chu hinna khovah a chun kipah tauvinte.
And he has delivered my soul from death, that my life may praise him in the light.
31 Job hiche hi phatechan melchih in, kathusei hi ngaijin. Ijeh inem itile keiman seiding kahaove.
Hearken, Job, and hear me: be silent, and I will speak.
32 Ahinlah seibe ding nanei nahlaija ahile seiben, seijin, ijeh inem itile keiman nathem channa chu mukal ngahlel a um kahi.
If thou hast words, answer me: speak, for I desire thee to be justified.
33 Chuti chu ahilouva ahile kathusei ngaijin, thipbeh chan um jingin, keiman chihna thu nahil inge.
If not, do thou hear me: be silent, and I will teach thee.
