Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
1Shuhi Bildad loh a doo tih,
2“How long will you go on saying such things? The words of your mouth are a blustering wind.
2“He he me hil nim na thui ve? Na ka kah ol tah khohli bangla khuet coeng.
3Does God pervert justice? Does the Almighty pervert what is right?
3Pathen loh tiktamnah he a khun sak tih Tlungthang loh duengnah te a khun sak mai a?
4When your children sinned against Him, He gave them over to their rebellion.
4Na ca rhoek te anih taengah a tholh vaengah amih te amamih kah boekoek kut dongla a tueih.
5But if you would earnestly seek God and ask the Almighty for mercy,
5Namah loh Pathen te na toem tih Tlungthang te na hloep mak atah,
6if you are pure and upright, even now He will rouse Himself on your behalf and restore your righteous estate.
6Na cil tih na thuem koinih nang yueng la haenghang vetih na duengnah rhamtlim te n'thuung pataeng pawn ni.
7Though your beginnings were modest, your latter days will flourish.
7Na tongnah te a yiit om cakhaw na hmailong te muep rhoeng ni.
8Please inquire of past generations and consider the discoveries of their fathers.
8Lamhma kah cadil taengah dawt laeh lamtah a napa rhoek khenah te soepsoei laeh.
9For we were born yesterday and know nothing; our days on earth are but a shadow.
9Mamih loh n'hlaem paek kah long khaw m'ming uh moenih, mamih kah khohnin diklai dongkah mueihlip banghui ni.
10Will they not teach you and tell you, and speak from their understanding?
10Amih te na thuinuet pawt tih a, nang taengah a thui vetih amih kah lungbuei lamloh olthui te a khueh eh?
11Does papyrus grow where there is no marsh? Do reeds flourish without water?
11Nongtui pawt ah talik thawn tih tui om mueh ah capu rhoeng a?
12While the shoots are still uncut, they dry up quicker than grass.
12Te te a duei pueng ah a hlaek pawt akhaw sulrham boeih hmai ah rhae coeng.
13Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so the hope of the godless will perish.
13Pathen aka hnilh boeih kah caehlong neh lailak kah ngaiuepnah tah bing tangloeng.
14His confidence is fragile; his security is in a spider’s web.
14A uepnah neh a pangtungnah bumba im te khaw bawtboeng.
15He leans on his web, but it gives way; he holds fast, but it does not endure.
15A im dongah hangdang dae pai thai pawh. Te te a kuel dae thoo pawh.
16He is a well-watered plant in the sunshine, spreading its shoots over the garden.
16Anih te khosae li ah thingsup tih a dum ah a dawn sai.
17His roots wrap around the rock heap; he looks for a home among the stones.
17A yung loh lungkuk dongah a ven tih lungto im te a hmuh.
18If he is uprooted from his place, it will disown him, saying, ‘I never saw you.’
18Te te a hmuen lamloh a phuk van vaengah, “Nang kam hmu moenih,” anih te a namnah.
19Surely this is the joy of his way; yet others will spring from the dust.
19He he a longpuei kah omthennah coeng koinih laipi tloe lamloh a poe uh khaming.
20Behold, God does not reject the blameless, nor will He strengthen the hand of evildoers.
20Pathen loh cuemthuek hnawt ngawn pawt tih thaehuet kut te a moem moenih.
21He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with a shout of joy.
21Na ka dongah nueihbu neh na hmui dongah tamlung bae.
22Your enemies will be clothed in shame, and the tent of the wicked will be no more.”
22Na lunguet rhoek loh yahpohnah a bai uh vetih halang kah dap tah om mahpawh,” a ti.
