Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
1Te vaengah Temani hoel Eliphaz loh a doo.
2“If one ventures a word with you, will you be wearied? Yet who can keep from speaking?
2Te vaengah nang te ol neh n'noemcai saeh, na ngak aya? Tedae olthui te kuemsuem ham unim aka noeng eh?
3Surely you have instructed many, and have strengthened their feeble hands.
3Muep na toel tih kut kha rhoek khaw na talong coeng te.
4Your words have steadied those who stumbled; you have braced the knees that were buckling.
4Aka paloe rhoek te na olthui loh a thoh tih khuklu aka khun khaw na caang sak.
5But now trouble has come upon you, and you are weary. It strikes you, and you are dismayed.
5Tedae namah taengla ha loe tih na ngak coeng, namah te m'ben tih na let coeng.
6Is your reverence not your confidence, and the uprightness of your ways your hope?
6Na hinyahnah, na ueppangnah, na ngaiuepnah, na longpuei kah thincaknah khaw om pawt nim?
7Consider now, I plead: Who, being innocent, has ever perished? Or where have the upright been destroyed?
7Poek van laeh, ommongsitoe he paltham nim? Aka thuem rhoek te melam a thup?
8As I have observed, those who plow iniquity and those who sow trouble reap the same.
8Ka hmuh vanbangla boethae aka thoe tih aka soem khaw amah long ni thakthaenah a ah.
9By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of His anger they are consumed.
9Pathen kah hiil dongah milh uh tih a thintoek khohli dongah khap uh coeng.
10The lion may roar, and the fierce lion may growl, yet the teeth of the young lions are broken.
10Sathueng khaw kawknah neh sathuengca khaw a ol neh om dae sathuengca khaw a no tloong.
11The old lion perishes for lack of prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.
11Maeh a mueh lamloh sathueng te milh tih sathuengnu ca rhoek khaw pam uh.
12Now a word came to me secretly; my ears caught a whisper of it.
12Ka taengah ol a huen tih a olduem loh kai hna a lat sak.
13In disquieting visions in the night, when deep sleep falls on men,
13Hlang he khoyin olphong lamkah pomnah khuiah a ih muelh vaengah.
14fear and trembling came over me and made all my bones shudder.
14birhihnah loh kai m'mah tih thuennah neh ka rhuh boeih a rhih sak.
15Then a spirit glided past my face, and the hair on my body bristled.
15Mueihla loh ka maelhmai a pah vaengah ka mul ka saa poenghu.
16It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance; a form loomed before my eyes, and I heard a whispering voice:
16A pai vaengah khaw a mueimae ka hmat moenih. A muei tah ka mikhmuh ah om tih bidip ol a yaak.
17‘Can a mortal be more righteous than God, or a man more pure than his Maker?
17Pathen lakah hlanghing he tang tih anih aka saii lakah ah hlang caihcil ngai a?
18If God puts no trust in His servants, and He charges His angels with error,
18A sal rhoek soah tangnah pawt tih a puencawn te a lolh la a khueh atah,
19how much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundations are in the dust, who can be crushed like a moth!
19Laipi neh lai im dongah kho aka sa aisat te bungbo hmai ah a khoengim pop coeng.
20They are smashed to pieces from dawn to dusk; unnoticed, they perish forever.
20Mincang lamloh hlaem duela a phop te a yoeyah la a milh khaw mingpha pawh.
21Are not their tent cords pulled up, so that they die without wisdom?’
21Amih lamkah a a hlangrhuel a phil pah vaengah a duek uh moenih a? Te dongah cueihnah neh a om moenih a?
