Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
1BOEIPA loh Job te hlipuei khui lamloh a doo tih,
2“Who is this who obscures My counsel by words without knowledge?
2Mingnah aka tal olthui neh cilsuep aka hmuep sak te unim?
3Now brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall inform Me.
3Hlang bangla na pumpu yen lamtah nang kan dawt bangla kai he n'tueng laeh.
4Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding.
4Diklai ka suen vaengah melam na om? Yakmingnah na ming atah thui lah.
5Who fixed its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched a measuring line across it?
5U loh a khodang a khueh khaw na ming van nim? A soah rhilam aka yueng khaw unim?
6On what were its foundations set, or who laid its cornerstone,
6A buenhol te me dongah nim a buen tih, a bangkil lung te unim aka thuinuet?
7while the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
7Mincang aisi rhoek rhenten tamhoe uh tih Pathen ca rhoek boeih yuhui uh.
8Who enclosed the sea behind doors when it burst forth from the womb,
8Tuitunli te a bung lamloh a poh tih a coe vaengah thohkhaih neh a tlaeng.
9when I made the clouds its garment and thick darkness its blanket,
9Kai loh cingmai kah a pueinak neh anih kah yinnah hni khaw ka khueh pah.
10when I fixed its boundaries and set in place its bars and doors,
10Ka oltlueh he anih ham ka tlueh pah tih thohkalh neh thohkhaih khaw ka khueh pah.
11and I declared: ‘You may come this far, but no farther; here your proud waves must stop’?
11He hil ka ti vaengah ha mop lamtah koei boeh. Na hoemdamnah tuiphu te he ah he khueh laeh.
12In your days, have you commanded the morning or assigned the dawn its place,
12Namah tue vaengah mincang ke na uen a? Khothaih ke na ming tih amah hmuen ah khothaih a om khaw na ming.
13that it might spread to the ends of the earth and shake the wicked out of it?
13Te lamkah halang rhoek khoek ham neh diklai hmoi a tuuk sak ham khaw.
14The earth takes shape like clay under a seal; its hills stand out like the folds of a garment.
14Dikpo kutbuen bangla poehlip tih pueinak bangla pai.
15Light is withheld from the wicked, and their upraised arm is broken.
15Halang rhoek te amamih kah vangnah a hloh pah tih ban a thueng khaw a tlawt sak.
16Have you journeyed to the vents of the sea or walked in the trenches of the deep?
16Tuitunli kah tuiput la na pawk tih tuidung kah khenah dongah na pongpa vai a?
17Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?
17Nang taengah dueknah vongka rhoek ah uh tih dueknah hlipkhup vongka te na hmuh a?
18Have you surveyed the extent of the earth? Tell Me, if you know all this.
18Diklai hmuenka duela na yakming nim? A cungkuem la na ming atah thui lah.
19Where is the way to the home of light? Do you know where darkness resides,
19Vangnah aka om longpuei he menim? Hmaisuep kah a hmuen he melae?
20so you can lead it back to its border? Do you know the paths to its home?
20Te te amah khorhi la na thak van tih a im kah a hawn khaw na yakming van nim?
21Surely you know, for you were already born! And the number of your days is great!
21Nang n'sak tih na khohnin kah a tarhing a puh daengah ni na ming pueng.
22Have you entered the storehouses of snow or observed the storehouses of hail,
22Vuelsong thakvoh khuila na kun tih rhaelnu thakvoh na hmuh a?
23which I hold in reserve for times of trouble, for the day of war and battle?
23Te te rhal tue vaengkah ham khaw, caemrhal neh caemtloek tue vaengkah ham khaw ka tuem pueng.
24In which direction is the lightning dispersed, or the east wind scattered over the earth?
24Diklai ah kanghawn loh a taekyak tih, vangnah loh a tael longpuei te menim?
25Who cuts a channel for the flood or clears a path for the thunderbolt,
25Tuilong lungpook ham neh rhaek ol ham longpuei aka tael te unim?
26to bring rain on a barren land, on a desert where no man lives,
26A khuiah tongpa aka om pawh khosoek neh hlang aka tal khohmuen ah khaw rhotui aka tlan sak la,
27to satisfy the parched wasteland and make it sprout with tender grass?
27khohli rhamrhael neh imrhong aka hah sak la, toitlim annoe aka poe sak la om coeng.
28Does the rain have a father? Who has begotten the drops of dew?
28Khotlan te a napa om a? Buemtui tuicip te ulong a sak?
29From whose womb does the ice emerge? Who gives birth to the frost from heaven,
29Rhaelnu he u kah bungko lamkah nim a thoeng tih, vaan vueltling te ulong a sak?
30when the waters become hard as stone and the surface of the deep is frozen?
30Tui khaw lungto bangla thuh uh tih tuidung hman ah khal.
31Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades or loosen the belt of Orion?
31Airhitbom kah omngaih omloe te na hlaengtang tih buhol phueihrhui khaw na hlawt thai aya?
32Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the Bear and her cubs?
32Mazzaroth aisi te amah tue vaengah na thoeng sak tih Ayish aisi te a ca rhoek neh na mawt a?
33Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set their dominion over the earth?

34Can you command the clouds so that a flood of water covers you?
34Na ol te khomai dongla na huel thai tih tuili tui te na khuk thai a?
35Can you send the lightning bolts on their way? Do they report to you, ‘Here we are’?
35Rhaek na tueih vaengah cet uh tih nang taengah, “Kaimih la he,” a ti uh a?
36Who has put wisdom in the heart or given understanding to the mind?
36Kodang khuila cueihnah aka khueh te unim? Kopoek khuiah yakmingnah aka pae te unim?
37Who has the wisdom to count the clouds? Or who can tilt the water jars of the heavens
37Cueihnah neh khomong aka tae te unim? Vaan tuitang aka thael te unim?
38when the dust hardens into a mass and the clods of earth stick together?
38Me vaengah lae Laipi a hlawn la a hlom tih dikmuh a man sak?
39Can you hunt the prey for a lioness or satisfy the hunger of young lions
39sathuengnu hamla maeh na mae pah tih sathuengca kah hingnah na tom pah a?
40when they crouch in their dens and lie in wait in the thicket?
40Me vaengah lae a khuisaek ah a ngam uh tih thingpuep khui ah a kol uh?
41Who provides food for the raven when its young cry out to God as they wander about for lack of food?
41A sakah te vangak ham aka tawn pah te unim? A camoe, a camoe uh vaengah tah Pathen taengah bomnah a bih uh dae caak mueh la kho a hmang uh.
