Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
1Shuhi Bildad loh a doo tih,
2“How long until you end these speeches? Show some sense, and then we can talk.
2“Olthui kah taikhaihnah te me hil nim na khueh ve. Yakming lamtah a hnukah thui sih.
3Why are we regarded as cattle, as stupid in your sight?
3Balae tih rhamsa bangla nan poek, na mikhmuh ah ka angvawk a?
4You who tear yourself in anger— should the earth be forsaken on your account, or the rocks be moved from their place?
4A thintoek ah amah hinglu pataeng a baeh ta. Diklai loh a hnoo tih lungpang te a hmuen lamloh a thoeih akhaw nang hut a?
5Indeed, the lamp of the wicked is extinguished; the flame of his fire does not glow.
5Halang rhoek kah vangnah ngawn tah thi tih a hmai te hmaihli bang lam pataeng aa pawh.
6The light in his tent grows dark, and the lamp beside him goes out.
6Vangnah khaw a dap khuiah hmuep tih a hmaithoi khaw amah taengah a thih pah.
7His vigorous stride is shortened, and his own schemes trip him up.
7A thahuem kah khokan pataeng caek tih a cilsuep loh amah a voeih.
8For his own feet lead him into a net, and he wanders into its mesh.
8A kho loh lawk khuila a tueih tih sahamlong khuila a pongpa sak.
9A trap seizes his heel; a snare grips him.
9A khodil te pael loh a tuuk tih amah te kokthah dongah man.
10A noose is hidden in the ground, and a trap lies in his path.
10A rhuihet te diklai dongah a tung tih, a sutaeh te a hawn ah a khueh pah.
11Terrors frighten him on every side and harass his every step.
11Anih te mueirhih loh a kaepvai ah a let sak tih a kho ah taekyak uh.
12His strength is depleted, and calamity is ready at his side.
12A boethae ah bungpong la om tih a cungdonah hamla rhainah khaw a sikim pah.
13It devours patches of his skin; the firstborn of death devours his limbs.
13Dueknah caming loh a vin saa a caak pah tih a rhuhrhong a hnom pah.
14He is torn from the shelter of his tent and is marched off to the king of terrors.
14A pangtungnah a dap lamloh a poh tih mueirhih manghai taengla a luei sak.
15Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur rains down on his dwelling.
15Amah kah pawt long khaw anih kah dap ah kho a sak tih, a tolkhoeng te yam a phul thil.
16The roots beneath him dry up, and the branches above him wither away.
16A yung khui ah koh tih a so duela a pae khaw ngat.
17The memory of him perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the land.
17Anih poekkoepnah te diklai lamloh paltham tih a ming te rhamvoel hmai ah om pawh.
18He is driven from light into darkness and is chased from the inhabited world.
18Anih te vangnah lamloh a hmuep la a thaek uh tih anih te lunglai lamloh a poeng sak uh.
19He has no offspring or posterity among his people, no survivor where he once lived.
19A taengah a ca tal tih a pilnam taengah a cadil om pawh. A lampahnah ah khaw rhaengnaeng om pawh.
20Those in the west are appalled at his fate, while those in the east tremble in horror.
20Amah tue vaengah pong tih a hnuk a hmai la hlithae loh a tuuk.
21Surely such is the dwelling of the wicked and the place of one who does not know God.”
21He tah boethae kah dungtlungim tih Pathen aka ming pawt kah a hmuen khaw he tlam ni,” a ti nah.
