World English Bible
1To naah Shud acaeng Bildad mah,
1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2hae tiah na thuih ih loknawk hae natuek naah maw boeng tih? Kahoih ah pakuem ah, lok ka thuih o han vop.
2“How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
3Tipongah kaicae hae moisan baktih, kamthu baktiah na poek loe?
3Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean 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?
4You who tear yourself in your anger, will the earth be forsaken for you? Or will the rock be removed out of its place?
5Ue, kasae kami ih hmaithaw loe dueh tih, kangqong anih ih hmai doeh aang mak ai.
5“Yes, the light of the wicked will be put out. The spark of his fire won’t shine.
6Anih kahni im ih hmai to aang han ai ah, anih ih hmaithawk to paduek pae ving tih.
6The light will be dark in his tent. His lamp above him will be put out.
7Anih thacakhaih khok tangkannawk loe tamcaek tih; angmah koeh ah khokhanhaih mah anih to amtimsak tih.
7The steps of his strength will be shortened. His own counsel will 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 wanders into its mesh.
9Anih ih khok thaang pongah aman moe, loih thai ai ah asawt khing.
9A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him.
10Anih hanah long thungah qumqaih pae moe, a caehhaih loklam ah thaang to patung pae.
10A noose is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him on the path.
11Zitthok hmuen mah caeh nakung kruekah anih to tasoehsak; a khok takan kruek anih hnukah bang pae.
11Terrors will make him afraid on every side, and will chase him at his heels.
12Anih loe zok amthlam pongah thazok, amrohaih mah anih to zing coek.
12His strength will be famished. Calamity will be ready at his side.
13To amrohaih mah a nganhin ahap to caak pae, calu duekhaih mah a thacakhaih to paaeh pae ving tih.
13The members of his body will be devoured. The firstborn of death will devour his members.
14Anih to kamongah ohhaih kahni imthung hoiah pathok ueloe, zitthok siangpahrang hmaa ah caeh haih tih.
14He will be rooted out of the security of his tent. He will 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 will dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur will be scattered on his habitation.
16Anih ih tangzuunnawk loe long thungah zaek o moe, a nui ih tanghangnawk doeh angqo o.
16His roots will be dried up beneath. His branch will be cut off above.
17Anih panoekhaih loe long ah anghmat moe, prae thungah ahmin om ai boeh.
17His memory will perish from the earth. He will have no name in the street.
18Aanghaih thung hoiah vinghaih thungah anih to haek boeh moe, long nui hoiah haek ving boeh.
18He will 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 will have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he lived.
20Ni angyae bang ih kaminawk loe tasoeh o baktih toengah, niduem bangah kaom kaminawk doeh anih kawng pongah dawnrai o.
20Those who come after will be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.
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 unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn’t know God.”
