Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
1Te phoeiah Temani Eliphaz loh a doo.
2“Does a wise man answer with empty counsel or fill his belly with the hot east wind?
2Te vaengah, “Aka cueih loh khohli mingnah neh a doo vetih a bung ah kanghawn a hah sak aya?
3Should he argue with useless words or speeches that serve no purpose?
3A taengah hmaiben pawt tih a hoeikhang pawh olthui te ol neh a tluung aya?
4But you even undermine the fear of God and hinder meditation before Him.
4Nang aisat, hinyahnah na muei sak tih Pathen mikhmuh kah thuepnah khaw na bim.
5For your iniquity instructs your mouth, and you choose the language of the crafty.
5Na ka loh namah kathaesainah a cang tih thaai ol na coelh.
6Your own mouth, not mine, condemns you; your own lips testify against you.
6Na ka loh nang m'boe sak tih kai long moenih. Na hmuilai long ni namah te n'doo.
7Were you the first man ever born? Were you brought forth before the hills?
7Hlang lamhma la n'sak tih som a om hlan lamloh n'yom coeng a?
8Do you listen in on the council of God or limit wisdom to yourself?
8Pathen kah baecenol te na yaak tih namah hamla cueihnah na buem a?
9What do you know that we do not? What do you understand that is not clear to us?
9Ka ming uh pawt te metlam na ming tih kaimih taengah amah a om pawt khaw na yakming?
10Both the gray-haired and the aged are on our side— men much older than your father.
10Sampok khaw, mamih taengkah patong khaw na pa lakah a khohnin khuet coeng ta.
11Are the consolations of God not enough for you, even words spoken gently to you?
11Pathen loh hloephloeinah neh na taengah dikdik a cal ol nang hamla vawt a?
12Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash,
12Balae tih na lungbuei na a khuen? Balae tih na mik loh a mikmuelh?
13as you turn your spirit against God and pour such words from your mouth?
13Na thintoek te Pathen taengla na hooi tih na ka lamloh ol na tha.
14What is man, that he should be pure, or one born of woman, that he should be righteous?
14Huta kah a sak te mebang hlanghing nim aka cim tih aka tang te?
15If God puts no trust in His holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in His eyes,
15A hlangcim khuikah a hlangcim koek pataeng tangnah pawt tih vaan pataeng amah mikhmuh ah a cil moenih.
16how much less man, who is vile and corrupt, who drinks injustice like water?
16Tui bangla dumlai aka mam hlang, a tueilaeh neh a rhonging aisat a.
17Listen to me and I will inform you. I will describe what I have seen,
17Nang taengah kan thui eh kai ol he hnatun dae. Ka hmuh te kan tae eh.
18what was declared by wise men and was not concealed from their fathers,
18Te te hlangcueih rhoek loh a thui uh tih a napa rhoek taeng lamloh a phah uh moenih.
19to whom alone the land was given when no foreigner passed among them.
19Amih te amamih bueng ham khohmuen a paek vaengah amih lakli ah kholong a nuen sak moenih.
20A wicked man writhes in pain all his days; only a few years are reserved for the ruthless.
20Halang tah hnin takuem amah kilkul tih hlanghaeng ham a kum tarhing la khoem uh.
21Sounds of terror fill his ears; in his prosperity the destroyer attacks him.
21Ngaimongnah khuiah pataeng anih aka rhoelrhak ham a hna ah birhihnah ol a pawk pah.
22He despairs of his return from darkness; he is marked for the sword.
22Hmaisuep lamloh mael ham tangnah pawt tih rhaltawt long khaw amah cunghang te dongah tawt uh.
23He wanders about as food for vultures; he knows the day of darkness is at hand.
23Buh hamla amah poeng tih a kut ah hmaisuep khohnin bangla a tawn te metlam a ming eh?
24Distress and anguish terrify him, overwhelming him like a king poised to attack.
24Anih te rhal loh a let sak tih caem dongah a coekcoe la aka om manghai bangla khobing loh anih te a khulae.
25For he has stretched out his hand against God and has vaunted himself against the Almighty,
25Pathen taengah a kut a thueng tih Tlungthang taengah phuel uh.
26rushing headlong at Him with a thick, studded shield.
26A rhawn kah uen a thah la a taengah a photling a yong puei.
27Though his face is covered with fat and his waistline bulges with flesh,
27A maelhmai te a tha neh a khuk tih a uen duela bungkawt laep.
28he will dwell in ruined cities, in abandoned houses destined to become rubble.
28Tedae khopuei khosa khaw a im ding te lungkuk la a phaek uh tih a khuiah khosa uh pawh.
29He will no longer be rich; his wealth will not endure. His possessions will not overspread the land.
29Boei pawt vetih a thadueng khaw pai mahpawh. Amih kah khohrhang loh diklai ah pungtai mahpawh.
30He will not escape from the darkness; the flame will wither his shoots, and the breath of God’s mouth will carry him away.
30Hmaisuep lamloh nong thai mahpawh. A dawn te hmairhong loh a hae vetih a ka dongkah yilh loh a khoe ni.
31Let him not deceive himself with trust in emptiness, for emptiness will be his reward.
31A poeyoek dongah tangnah boel saeh lamtah a poeyoek dongah khohmang boel saeh. A hnothung khaw a poeyoek lamni a om eh.
32It will be paid in full before his time, and his branch will not flourish.
32A khohnin loh cup pawt vetih a rhophoe khaw hing mahpawh.
33He will be like a vine stripped of its unripe grapes, like an olive tree that sheds its blossoms.
33Misur a thaihkang bangla hul vetih olive rhaipai bangla rhul ni.
34For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will consume the tents of bribery.
34Lailak kah hlangboel tah pumhong la om vetih kapbaih kah dap tah hmai loh a hlawp ni.
35They conceive trouble and give birth to evil; their womb is pregnant with deceit.”
35thakthaenah la vawn tih boethae a sak. A bungko khaw hlangthai palat cuen,” a ti nah.
