Job 38
1 Chuti chun chimpei kipei lah a konin Pakaiyin Job chu ahin donbut tai:
And after Elius had ceased from speaking, the Lord spoke to Job through the whirlwind and clouds, [saying],
2 Koi hiya hitobang hetna neilou chu chenga kachihna thu hin donga chu?
Who is this that hides counsel from me, and confines words in [his] heart, and thinks to conceal [them] from me?
3 Pasal pha bangin nakong kigah in, ijeh inem itile keiman nangma thu kadoh ding nangin hiche ho chu nei donbut ding ahi.
Gird your loins like a man; and I will ask you, and do you answer me.
4 Leiset bul kaphu a chu hoiya nana um'em? Nahet leh nei seipeh in.
Where was you when I founded the earth? tell me now, if you have knowledge,
5 Kon alet aneu dan aga te a chuleh ageigol hohi akaitoh ham?
who set the measures of it, if you know? or who stretched a line upon it?
6 Abul hi ipin atheh ham? Aninga songpi chu koi koiham?
On what are its rings fastened? and who is he that laid the corner-stone upon it?
7 Jingvalpa ten la asahkhom uva chuleh vantil jouse kipah a hung pengdoh diu ham?
When the stars were made, all my angels praised me with a loud voice.
8 Naobu sunga hung pengdoh banga twipihi gamgi chin kah khat sunga kon akoija?
And I shut up the sea with gates, when it rushed out, coming forth out its mother's womb.
9 Chuleh meibol ponsilla kakisil a chuleh muthim lhangkhal a kakitoma,
And I made a cloud its clothing, and swathed it in mist.
10 Ajeh chu vapam kasem peh a, anunga kotpi akhel louna dinga kakam khum ahi.
And I set bounds to it, surrounding it with bars and gates.
11 Hichan a gamla chule hisanga gamlajo a nahung louna dinga hiche mun a hi kiloupi sah tah a nakinon nangah ding ahi tin kaseije.
And I said to it, Hitherto shall you come, but you shall not go beyond, but your waves shall be confined within you.
12 Jingkah khovah nadinga thu napeh khah a khovah jong solama konna hung kipan dinga nahil khah em?
Or did I order the morning light in your time; and [did] the morning star [then first] see his appointed place;
13 Khovah hin leiset kolmang geija asalvah nadinga nasema, gitlouna jan muthim changei bou vah dinga nasem khah em?
to lay hold of the extremities of the earth, to cast out the ungodly out of it?
14 Khovah ahung nai tengle leingan chunga mahor kinam bangin leiset jong agong ahung kilang doh jitai.
Or did you take clay of the ground, and form a living creature, and set it with the power of speech upon the earth?
15 Khovah hin migiloute asunoh phah in chuleh kihat sah tah a kidom sang ban lhang jong asuhai tai.
And have you removed light from the ungodly, and crushed the arm of the proud?
16 Twipi hung lon doh patna twinah phung nagahol doh khah a hem? athuh dan nakhol doh khah hitam?
Or have you gone to the source of the sea, and walked in the tracks of the deep?
17 Thina kelkot hoiya um'em ti nahet khah ta hem? Muthim lhangkhal kihehna kelkot namu khah ta hem?
And do the gates of death open to you for fear; and did the porters of hell quake when they saw you? (questioned)
18 Leiset letdan nagel doh khah a hicheng chu nahet leh nei seipeh in.
And have you been instructed in the breadth of the [whole earth] under heaven? tell me now, what is the extent of it?
19 Khovah hoiya konna hung kipan doh ham? Chuleh muthim hoilanga cheji hitam?
And in what kind of a land does the light dwell? and of what kind is the place of darkness?
20 Khat cheng chenga a in na napuilut theija chuleh amun lhunje chu nahet em?
If you could bring me to their [utmost] boundaries, and if also you know their paths;
21 Ahinlah hicheng chu nahet maithei ahi, ijeh inem itile thil ijakai kisem masanga penga nahi tan, hijeh a chu ijakai nahet themsoh ahitai.
I know then that you were born at that time, and the number of your years is great.
22 Buhbang kikhol khomna mun naga chelut khah ta hem? ahiloule gelchang kikhol khomna mun naga mu khah ta hem?
But have you gone to the treasures of snow? and have you seen the treasures of hail?
23 Genthei hesoh nikho a gal manchah dinga kakhol ahin, kidou nikho leh kisat nikho a dinga kakhol khom ahi.
And is there a store [of them], for you against the time of [your] enemies, for the day of wars and battle?
24 Khovah hung kondohna lampi chu hoilai hija, solam hui chenna chu hoilai ham?
And whence proceeds the frost? or [whence] is the south wind dispersed over the [whole world] under heaven?
25 Go hattah a hung long jung jung twilam chu kon asemma kolphevahna lampi kon adopeh ham?
And who prepared a course for the violent rain, and a way for the thunders;
26 Hampa ke louna gamgo lah leh nelgam mihem chenlouna gam'a chu kon go ajuhsah ham?
to rain upon the land where [there is] no man, the wilderness, where there is not a man in it; so as to feed the untrodden and uninhabited [land],
27 Tolgo lah sunouva dangchim sah dinga go juh sah chu koi hija chule hampa louhing kedohsah a koiham?
and cause it to send forth a crop of green herbs?
28 Go in pa aneijem? Daitwi kon ahin pen doh sah ham?
Who is the rain's father? and who has generated the drops of dew?
29 Buhbang lhang hingnu chu koiham? Vanna hung kon buhbang twihi kon ahin ham?
And out of whose womb comes the ice? and who has produced the frost in the sky,
30 Ijeh inem itile twi chu song banga tah in akisoh jin chuleh twi chung chu akan den jin ahi.
which descends like flowing water? who has terrified the face of the ungodly?
31 Ahshi ho kitol ding dan khu nahil theija bombiel akoi ho khu alomma nakan theija, ahiloule juhei suhtum khu akhau nalhap kang thei ngaijem?
And do you understand the band of Pleias, and have you opened the barrier of Orion?
32 Kum kiheichin hohi aban ban cha che dinga nahil theija ahiloule ahsi somleng chu anoute toh van jotpai dinga napuile theijem?
Or will you reveal Mazuroth in his season, and the evening star with his rays? Will you guide them?
33 Thilsem jouse chondan hi nahet soh keija, leiset hi dan dungjuija naman chah thei ding ham?
And know you the changes of heaven, or the events which take place together under heaven?
34 Meibang lom chu nakouva chule go nasosah theijem?
And will you call a cloud with your voice, and will it obey you with a violent shower of much rain?
35 Kolphe chu nakilah sah theija chule naseina mun chu navah sah thei ding ham?
And will you send lightnings, and they shall go? and shall they say to you, What is [your pleasure]?
36 Lungchang thil het jeng theina pea chu koi hija chule lungthim angaina a khohetna pe a chu koiham?
And who has given to women skill in weaving, or knowledge of embroidery?
37 Meilhang ho sim jouna dinga chihna lhingsetna neikoi hija, vanna twi kikholna mun loukhoija khoilet jou ding koiham?
And who is he that numbers the clouds in wisdom, and has bowed the heaven [down] to the earth?
38 Tolla leiset hi akikoi got setna chule leiset chu leilhanga atahsah thei ding ham?
For it is spread out as dusty earth, and I have cemented it as one hewn stone to another.
39 Keipi dinga neh ding namat khom peh a chule keipi bahkai noute gilkel chu alung nachim a navahva jouva,
And will you hunt a prey for the lions? and satisfy the desires of the serpents?
40 Akosung uva alupnauva ahiloule nang noija abohmat pet tengule,
For they fear in their lairs, and lying in wait couch in the woods.
41 Vavomte khu kon an apeh a anoute khu Pathen jah dinga apenna chule gilkella amoh toilele tenguleh kon an apeh jiu ham?
And who has prepared food for the raven? for its young ones wander and cry to the Lord, in search of food.
