Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1“Why does the Almighty not reserve times for judgment? Why may those who know Him never see His days?
1Balae tih Tlungthang taeng lamkah a tue te a khoem uh pawh. Amah aka ming, amah aka ming loh a khohnin te hmu uh pawh.
2Men move boundary stones; they pasture stolen flocks.
2Rhilung a rhawt uh , tuping a rhawth uh tih a luem sak uh.
3They drive away the donkey of the fatherless and take the widow’s ox in pledge.
3Cadah kah laak te a vai pah tih nuhmai kah vaito te a laikoi pa uh.
4They push the needy off the road and force all the poor of the land into hiding.
4Khodaeng rhoek te longpuei lamloh a tulh tih khohmuen kah mangdaeng rhoek khaw rhenten a thuh.
5Indeed, like wild donkeys in the desert, the poor go to work foraging for food; the wasteland is food for their children.
5Amamih kah bisai la khosoek ah kohong marhang bangla pawk uh coeng ke. Amah ham kolken maeh neh camoe ham buh khaw a toem uh.
6They gather fodder in the fields and glean the vineyards of the wicked.
6Lohma ah a kamvuelh te a ah, a ah uh tih halang misurdum kah a yoep uh.
7Without clothing, they spend the night naked; they have no covering against the cold.
7Pumtling rhoek te pueinak tling la a rhaehba sak uh tih khosik vaengah himbai mueh uh.
8Drenched by mountain rains, they huddle against the rocks for want of shelter.
8Tlang kah cingtui loh a het uh tih hlipyingnah a om mueh la lungpang a kop uh.
9The fatherless infant is snatched from the breast; the nursing child of the poor is seized for a debt.
9Cadah khaw rhangsuk lamloh a suh uh tih mangdaeng rhoek te a laikoi.
10Without clothing, they wander about naked. They carry the sheaves, but still go hungry.
10Pumtling loh pueinak tling van tih bungpong doela canghmoek a puen.
11They crush olives within their walls; they tread the winepresses, but go thirsty.
11A pangbueng ah situi a kuelh tih va-am a cawt uh lalah tui hal uh.
12From the city, men groan, and the souls of the wounded cry out, yet God charges no one with wrongdoing.
12Khopuei lamkah hlang rhoek loh nguekcoi uh tih duekrhok hinglu loh bomnah a bih. Tedae Pathen loh ahohap te a dueh moenih.
13Then there are those who rebel against the light, not knowing its ways or staying on its paths.
13Amih te vangnah aka tloelh lakli ah om uh tih a longpuei hmat uh pawh. Te dongah a hawn ah khosa uh pawh.
14When daylight is gone, the murderer rises to kill the poor and needy; in the night he is like a thief.
14Hlang aka ngawn loh vangnah hnukah thoo tih mangdaeng neh khodaeng te a rhaem. Khoyin ah hlanghuen bangla om.
15The eye of the adulterer watches for twilight. Thinking, ‘No eye will see me,’ he covers his face.
15Samphaih mik loh hlaemhmah a lamtawn. Hlang mik loh kai m'mae mahpawh a ti dongah a maelhmai te a huephael la a khueh.
16In the dark they dig through houses; by day they shut themselves in, never to experience the light.
16A hmuep vaengah im a muk. Khothaih ah amih te a tlaeng uh tih vangnah te ming uh pawh.
17For to them, deep darkness is their morning; surely they are friends with the terrors of darkness!
17Dueknah hlipkhup mueirhih neh a hmat uh rhoi dongah dueknah hlipkhup te mincang neh amih taengah rhenten thoeng.
18They are but foam on the surface of the water; their portion of the land is cursed, so that no one turns toward their vineyards.
18Anih te tui hman ah hoeptuep. Amih kah hmakhuen te diklai ah a tap dongah misurdum kah longpuei la mop voel pawh.
19As drought and heat consume the melting snow, so Sheol steals those who have sinned.
19Rhamrhae neh kholing ah, tui khaw rhaeng tih vuelsong khaw saelkhui ah tholh coeng.
20The womb forgets them; the worm feeds on them; they are remembered no more. So injustice is like a broken tree.
20A bung loh anih a hnilh hil ah a rhit te a poek voel pawt hil a tui sak. Tedae dumlai tah thing bangla tlawt.
21They prey on the barren and childless, and show no kindness to the widow.
21Ca aka cun mueh caya aka luem puei neh nuhmai khaw loha pawh.
22Yet by His power, God drags away the mighty; though rising up, they have no assurance of life.
22Aka lueng pataeng a thadueng neh a kuel tih thoo mai dae hingnah dongah tangnah om pawh.
23He gives them a sense of security, but His eyes are on their ways.
23Anih te ngaikhuek la pae saeh lamtah hangdang saeh. Tedae Amih longpuei ah a mik a paelki.
24They are exalted for a moment, then they are gone; they are brought low and gathered up like all others; they are cut off like heads of grain.
24Bet a pomsang uh vaengah amih te pahoi om uh pawt tih tlumhmawn uh. A pum la a buem uh tih cangmo vueilue bangla a baih uh.
25If this is not so, then who can prove me a liar and reduce my words to nothing?”
25Te pawt koinih unim kai aka laithae sak?Ka ol he a hong bangla a khueh mako,” a ti.
