Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Then Elihu continued:
1Elihu loh koep a doo tih,
2“Hear my words, O wise men; give ear to me, O men of learning.
2Aka cueih rhoek ka ol hnatun uh lamtah aka ming rhoek loh kai taengla hnakaeng uh.
3For the ear tests words as the mouth tastes food.
3Hna loh olthui a nuemnai tih lai loh caak te a ten.
4Let us choose for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good.
4Tiktamnah te mamih ham coelh uh sih lamtah a then te mamih lakli ah ming uh sih.
5For Job has declared, ‘I am righteous, yet God has deprived me of justice.
5Job loh,'Ka tang lalah Pathen loh ka tiktamnah a hnawt.
6Would I lie about my case? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’
6Ka tiktamnah khaw ka laithae bang mai la boekoeknah pawt mai ah ka thaltang loh rhawp coeng,’ a ti.
7What man is like Job, who drinks up derision like water?
7Tui bangla tamdaengnah aka o Job bang hlang he om nim.
8He keeps company with evildoers and walks with wicked men.
8Boethae aka saii neh rhoihui bangla yiin tih halang hlang rhoek taengah khaw pongpa.
9For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight in God.’
9'Pathen taengah a ngaingaih vaengah hlang hmaiben pawh,’ a ti.
10Therefore listen to me, O men of understanding. Far be it from God to do wrong, and from the Almighty to act unjustly.
10Te dongah thinko aka khueh hlang rhoek loh kai taengah hnatun uh. Halangnah he Pathen lamloh savisava tih Tlungthang he dumlai neh savisava coeng.
11For according to a man’s deeds He repays him; according to a man’s ways He brings consequences.
11Hlang kah bisai he amah taengla a thuung tih hlang a caehlong bangla amah loh a hmuh.
12Indeed, it is true that God does not act wickedly, and the Almighty does not pervert justice.
12Pathen tah boe tueng pawt tih Tlungthang loh tiktamnah te a khun sak moenih.
13Who gave Him charge over the earth? Who appointed Him over the whole world?
13Amah loh diklai ah unim a khueh tih lunglai he a pum la u taengah nim a tloeng.
14If He were to set His heart to it and withdraw His Spirit and breath,
14Amah taengkah loh a khueh a lungbuei, a mueihla neh a hiil te amah taengla khoem koinih,
15all flesh would perish together and mankind would return to the dust.
15Pumsa boeih he rhenten pal vetih hlang he laipi la mael ni.
16If you have understanding, hear this; listen to my words.
16Yakmingnah a om atah he he hnatun lamtah ka olthui ol he hnakaeng lah.
17Could one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn the just and mighty One,
17Tiktamnah aka thiinah aisat loh a ngoldoelh tih aka dueng khuet loh m'boe sak aya?
18who says to kings, ‘You are worthless!’ and to nobles, ‘You are wicked,’
18Manghai te,'hlang muen,’ hlangcong te 'Halang,’ a ti nah nim?
19who is not partial to princes and does not favor rich over poor? For they are all the work of His hands.
19Amah loh mangpa maelhmai dan pawt tih tattloel maelhmai lakah rhoeikhang kah a hmat tloe moenih. Amih boeih te amah kut dongah kutngo ni.
20They die in an instant, in the middle of the night. The people convulse and pass away; the mighty are removed without human hand.
20Mikhaptok ah a duek dongah pilnam khoyin pathung ah tuen tih khum uh. Kut nen pawt akhaw aka lueng a khoe uh.
21For His eyes are on the ways of a man, and He sees his every step.
21A mik te hlang kah longpuei dongah a khueh tih a khokan boeih te a hmuh.
22There is no darkness or deep shadow where the workers of iniquity can hide.
22Boethae aka saii rhoek thuh hamla hmaisuep om pawt tih dueknah hlipkhup khaw a om moenih.
23For God need not examine a man further or have him approach for judgment.
23Pathen taengkah laitloeknah dongla a pha ham coeng dongah hlang te koep a cae moenih.
24He shatters the mighty without inquiry and sets up others in their place.
24Aka khuet khenah a om pawt ah a phaek tih amih yueng la a tloe a khueh.
25Therefore, He recognizes their deeds; He overthrows them in the night and they are crushed.
25Amih kah khoboe te a hmat dongah khoyin ah a maelh tih pop uh.
26He strikes them for their wickedness in full view,
26Halang rhoek ham tah hmuh nah hmuen ah amih te kut a paeng thil.
27because they turned aside from Him and had no regard for any of His ways.
27Te dongah ni a hnuk lamloh nong uh tangloeng tih a longpuei boeih te cangbam uh pawh.
28They caused the cry of the poor to come before Him, and He heard the outcry of the afflicted.
28tattloel kah pangngawlnah te a taengla pawk tih mangdaeng kah pangngawlnah a yaak.
29But when He remains silent, who can condemn Him? When He hides His face, who can see Him? Yet He watches over both man and nation,
29Tedae amah te mong tih ulong a boe sak. Maelhmai a thuh vaengah ulong anih a mae? Tedae namtom so neh hlang khat soah khaw rhenten om ta.
30that godless men should not rule or lay snares for the people.
30Lailak hlang a manghai khaw pilnam ham hlaeh la poeh.
31Suppose someone says to God, ‘I have endured my punishment; I will offend no more.
31Pathen taengah tah,'Ka laikoi pawt khaw ka phueih.
32Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do it again.’
32Nang kam hmuh pawt ah kai nan thuinuet coeng. Dumlai ka saii mai cakhaw ka koei voel boel eh?,’ a ti nama thui coeng.
33Should God repay you on your own terms when you have disavowed His? You must choose, not I; so tell me what you know.
33Na hnawt coeng dongah te kah te namah taeng lamloh na thuung aya? Namah loh na coelh coeng, kai long moenih. Te dongah na ming te thui to.
34Men of understanding will declare to me, and the wise men who hear me will say:
34Thinko aka khueh hlang rhoek loh kai taengah thui uh lamtah hlang cueih loh kai taengkah he hnatun saeh.
35‘Job speaks without knowledge; his words lack insight.’
35Job he mingnah neh cal pawt tih a ol long a cangbam moenih.
36If only Job were tried to the utmost for answering like a wicked man.
36A pa nae, boethae hlang kah taikhaih dongah Job loh a yoeyah la loepdak saeh.
37For he adds rebellion to his sin; he claps his hands among us and multiplies his words against God.”
37A tholhnah te mamih laklo ah boekoek neh a koei uh tih kut a paeng dongah Pathen taengah a ol pung,” a ti.
