Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Then Sophar the Naamathite answered, and said:
1Naamathi Zophar loh a doo tih,
2Shall not he that speaketh much, hear also? or shall a man full of talk be justified?
2“Ol cungkuem te a doo moenih a? Hlang he a hmuilai ngawn tah tang dae ta.
3Shall men hold their peace to thee only? and when thou hast mocked others, shall no man confute thee?
3Na olsai te hlang loh ngam vetih na tamdaeng vaengah a hmaithae mahpawt nim?
4For thou hast said: My word is pure, and I am clean in thy sight.
4Te vaengah, “Ka rhingtuknah he cil tih na mikhmuh ah a caih la ka om,” na ti.
5And I wish that God would speak with thee, and would open his lips to thee,
5Nang taengah aka thui la Pathen loh unim dawk a paek tih a hmuilai ong koinih.
6That he might shew thee the secrets of wisdom, and that his law is manifold, and thou mightest understand that he exacteth much less of thee, than thy iniquity deserveth.
6Lungming cueihnah he rhaepnit a lo dongah cueihnah olhuep te nang taengah a thui pawn ko. Namah kathaesainah lamloh Pathen loh nang n'hnilh te ming.
7Peradventure thou wilt comprehend the steps of God, and wilt find out the Almighty perfectly?
7Pathen kah khenah na hmuh tih Tlungthang kah a khuetnah hil na hmuh a?
8He is higher than heaven, and what wilt thou do? he is deeper than hell, and how wilt thou know?
8Vaan la a sang te metlam na saii eh? Saelkhui lakah a dung te metlam na ming eh?
9The measure of him is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
9A himbaidok loh diklai lakah a puet tih tuitunli lakah dangka ngai.
10If he shall overturn all things, or shall press them together, who shall contradict him?
10A hil tih a tlaeng tih a tingtun sak phoeiah tah ulong anih a mael sak.
11For he knoweth the vanity of men, and when he seeth iniquity, doth he not consider it?
11Amah loh a poeyoek hlang rhoek khaw a ming ngawn dae boethae a hmuh vaengah yakming pawh.
12A vain man is lifted up into pride, and thinketh himself born free like a wild ass’s colt.
12Tedae tuihong hlang loh hloih koinih kohong marhang neh laak te hlang la a sak khaming.
13Rut thou hast hardened thy heart, and hast spread thy hands to him.
13Na lungbuei na cikngae tih a taengla na kut na phuel koinih,
14If thou wilt put away from thee the iniquity that is in thy hand, and lot not injustice remain in thy tabernacle:
14Na kut dongkah boethae te na lakhla tak tih na dap ah dumlai na khueh pawt atah,
15Then mayst thou lift up thy face without spot, and thou shalt be steadfast, and shalt not fear.
15A lolhmaih kolla na maelhmai na ludoeng van bitni. Na om vaengah khaw tluektluek na long vetih na rhih om mahpawh.
16Thou shalt also forget misery, and remember it only as waters that are passed away.
16Nang ham tah thakthaenah te na hnilh vetih tui aka long voelh bangla na poek bitni.
17And brightness like that of the noonday, shall arise to thee at evening: and when thou shalt think thyself consumed, thou shalt rise as the day star.
17Na khosak khaw khothun lakah sae vetih, a hmuep khaw mincang bangla om ni.
18And thou shalt have confidence, hope being set before thee, and being buried thou shalt sleep secure.
18Ngaiuepnah a om dongah na pangtung vetih ngaikhuek la na too phoeiah na yalh bitni.
19Thou shalt rest, and there shall be none to make thee afraid: and many shall entreat thy face.
19Na kol vaengah na lakueng neh na maelhmai muep thae voel mahpawh.
20But the eyes of the wicked shall decay, and the way to escape shall fail them, and their hope the abomination of the soul.
20Tedae halang kah mik tah kha vetih thuhaelnah khaw amih lamloh bing ni, a ngaiuepnah khaw hinglu polpainah la om ni,” a ti nah.
