JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1To naah Shud acaeng Bildad mah,
1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
2hae tiah na thuih ih loknawk hae natuek naah maw boeng tih? Kahoih ah pakuem ah, lok ka thuih o han vop.
2How long will ye lay snares for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
3Tipongah kaicae hae moisan baktih, kamthu baktiah na poek loe?
3Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed dull in your sight?
4Palungphui moe, angmah hoi angmah ngan angsik, nang pongah, long hae anghuen tih maw? Thlung loe a ohhaih ahmuen hoiah angthui tih maw?
4Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, shall the earth be forsaken for thee? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?
5Ue, kasae kami ih hmaithaw loe dueh tih, kangqong anih ih hmai doeh aang mak ai.
5Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
6Anih kahni im ih hmai to aang han ai ah, anih ih hmaithawk to paduek pae ving tih.
6The light shall be dark in his tent, and his lamp over him shall be put out.
7Anih thacakhaih khok tangkannawk loe tamcaek tih; angmah koeh ah khokhanhaih mah anih to amtimsak tih.
7The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
8Anih ih khok loe palok pongah aman moe, thaang to cawh.
8For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon the toils.
9Anih ih khok thaang pongah aman moe, loih thai ai ah asawt khing.
9A gin shall take him by the heel, and a snare shall lay hold on him.
10Anih hanah long thungah qumqaih pae moe, a caehhaih loklam ah thaang to patung pae.
10A noose is hid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
11Zitthok hmuen mah caeh nakung kruekah anih to tasoehsak; a khok takan kruek anih hnukah bang pae.
11Terrors shall overwhelm him on every side, and shall entrap him at his feet.
12Anih loe zok amthlam pongah thazok, amrohaih mah anih to zing coek.
12His trouble shall be ravenous, and calamity shall be ready for his fall.
13To amrohaih mah a nganhin ahap to caak pae, calu duekhaih mah a thacakhaih to paaeh pae ving tih.
13It shall devour the members of his body, yea, the first-born of death shall devour his members.
14Anih to kamongah ohhaih kahni imthung hoiah pathok ueloe, zitthok siangpahrang hmaa ah caeh haih tih.
14That wherein he trusteth shall be plucked out of his tent; and he shall be brought to the king of terrors.
15A ohhaih ahmuen ah anih ih hmuen tidoeh anghmat mak ai; a ohhaih ahmuen ah kaat hmai to haeh pae tih.
15There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his; brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
16Anih ih tangzuunnawk loe long thungah zaek o moe, a nui ih tanghangnawk doeh angqo o.
16His roots shall dry up beneath, and above shall his branch wither.
17Anih panoekhaih loe long ah anghmat moe, prae thungah ahmin om ai boeh.
17His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name abroad.
18Aanghaih thung hoiah vinghaih thungah anih to haek boeh moe, long nui hoiah haek ving boeh.
18He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
19Anih loe angmah ih kaminawk salakah capa tawn ai, a caanawk ih caa patoeng doeh tawn mak ai, a imthung takoh ah mi doeh anghmat mak ai.
19He shall have neither son nor son's son among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
20Ni angyae bang ih kaminawk loe tasoeh o baktih toengah, niduem bangah kaom kaminawk doeh anih kawng pongah dawnrai o.
20They that come after shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before are affrighted.
21Kasae kami khosakhaih loe to tiah oh, Sithaw panoek ai kami ohhaih ahmuen doeh to tiah oh tangtang, tiah pathim pae.
21Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
