Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
1Temani Eliphaz loh a doo tih,
2“Can a man be of use to God? Can even a wise man benefit Him?
2Pathen te hlang loh s hmaiben a?Lungming khaw amah la dawk a hmaiben uh.
3Does it delight the Almighty that you are righteous? Does He profit if your ways are blameless?
3Na tang mai tih na mueluemnah mai akhaw, na khoboe soep cakhaw tlungthang hamla naep aya?
4Is it for your reverence that He rebukes you and enters into judgment against you?
4Na hinyahnah dongah nang te laitloeknah neh n'khuen tih nang n'tluung a?
5Is not your wickedness great? Are not your iniquities endless?
5Na boethae tangkik pawt nim?Nang kah thaesainah te a bawtnah om pawh.
6For you needlessly demanded security from your brothers and deprived the naked of their clothing.
6Lunglilungla la na manuca na laikoi tih pumtling kah himbai te na pit pah.
7You gave no water to the weary and withheld food from the famished,
7Buhmueh rhathih te tui na tul pawt tih bungpong te buh na hloh pah.
8while the land belonged to a mighty man, and a man of honor lived on it.
8Bantha aka khueh hlang loh amah hamla khohmuen a khueh tih a sokah khosa mikhmuh ah a dangrhoek.
9You sent widows away empty-handed, and the strength of the fatherless was crushed.
9Nuhmai te kuttling la na tueih tih cadah te a ban na phop pah.
10Therefore snares surround you, and sudden peril terrifies you;
10Na kaepvai kah pael dongah he khaw na birhihnah neh buengrhuet na let.
11it is so dark you cannot see, and a flood of water covers you.
11A hmuep khaw na hmu pawt tih tuili tui loh nang n'khuk.
12Is not God as high as the heavens? Look at the highest stars, how lofty they are!
12Pathen tah vaan sang kah moenih a?So lah, aisi rhoek kah a lu tah pomsang uh te.
13Yet you say: ‘What does God know? Does He judge through thick darkness?
13Te lalah, “Pathen te metlam a mingpha?Yinnah lamloh lai a tloek a?
14Thick clouds veil Him so He does not see us as He traverses the vault of heaven.’
14Anih te khomai loh a huep tih tueng pawh. Te vaengah vaan kah kueluek dongah cet,” na ti.
15Will you stay on the ancient path that wicked men have trod?
15Boethae hlang rhoek loh a cawt khosuen caehlong nim na ngaithuen salah?
16They were snatched away before their time, and their foundations were swept away by a flood.
16A tonga uh vaengah a tue pawt ah khaw tuiva loh amih kah khoengim te a hawt pah.
17They said to God, ‘Depart from us. What can the Almighty do to us?’
17“Pathen te mamih taeng lamloh nong saeh, Tlungthang loh mamih taengah balae a saii eh? ” a ti uh.
18But it was He who filled their houses with good things; so I stay far from the counsel of the wicked.
18Amah loh amih im te hnothen a cung sak sitoe cakhaw halang kah cilsuep tah kai lamloh lakhla saeh.
19The righteous see it and are glad; the innocent mock them:
19Aka dueng rhoek loh a hmuh vaengah a kohoe uh tih ommongsitoe loh amih te a tamdaeng.
20‘Surely our foes are destroyed, and fire has consumed their excess.’
20Mamih kah thinnaeh a thup vetih amih kah a coih te hmai loh hlawp het pawt nim?
21Reconcile now and be at peace with Him; thereby good will come to you.
21Amah neh hmaiben lamtah te nen te thuung laeh. Nang taengah hnothen ha pawk bitni.
22Receive instruction from His mouth, and lay up His words in your heart.
22A ka lamkah olkhueng mah doe laeh, a ol te khaw na thinko khuiah khueh laeh.
23If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored. If you remove injustice from your tents
23Tlungthang taengla na mael atah n'thoh bitni dumlai mah na dap lamloh lakhla sak.
24and consign your gold to the dust and the gold of Ophir to the stones of the ravines,
24Pasing te laipi bangla, Ophir te soklong kah lungpang bangla khueh ngawn.
25then the Almighty will be your gold and the finest silver for you.
25Te vaengah na pasing te tlungthang la, cak te na ki la poeh bitni.
26Surely then you will delight in the Almighty and lift up your face to God.
26Te daengah ni Tlungthang dongah na ngailaem vetih Pathen taengla na maelhmai na dangrhoek bitni.
27You will pray to Him, and He will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows.
27A taengah na thangthui vaengah nang ol a yaak vetih na olcaeng khaw cung ni.
28Your decisions will be carried out, and light will shine on your ways.
28Olkhueh te na tuiphih vaengah nang hamla thoo vetih na longpuei ah vangnah loh a tue ni.
29When men are brought low and you say, ‘Lift them up!’ then He will save the lowly.
29A kunyun uh vaengah koevoeinah na thui dae tlahoei mik ni a khang eh.
30He will deliver even one who is not innocent, rescuing him through the cleanness of your hands.”
30Ommongsitoe pawt khaw loeih vetih na kut kah cimcaihnah loh a loeih sak ni,” a ti.
