1And Eliphaz the Themanite, answered, and said:
1To naah Taman acaeng Eliphaz mah,
2Will a wise man answer as if he were speaking in the wind, and fill his stomach with burning heat?
2palungha kami loe takhi hoi kanghmong lokthuih han oh maw? A zok to ni angyae bang ih takhi hoi koisak han oh maw?
3Thou reprovest him by words, who is not equal to thee, and thou speakest that which is not good for thee.
3Tidoeh avang ai lok, to tih ai boeh loe atho om ai lok thuih han oh maw?
4As much as is in thee, thou hast made void fear, and hast taken away prayers from before God.
4Ue, nang loe Sithaw zithaih to na pahnawt sut boeh moe, Sithaw khae lawkthuihaih doeh na pakaa khoep boeh.
5For thy iniquity hath taught thy mouth, and thou imitatest the tongue of blasphemers.
5Na pakha mah zaehaih to thuih moe, aling thaih kami ih lok to na patoh.
6Thy own mouth shall condemn thee, and not I: and thy own lips shall answer thee.
6Kai mah zaehaih kang net ai, na pakha mah ni ang net; ue, na palai mah na sethaih to thuih.
7Art thou the first man that was born, or wast thou made before the hills?
7Nang loe tapen tangsuek kami ah maw na oh? Maenawk sah ai naah sak ah na oh boeh maw?
8Hast thou heard God’s counsel, and shall his wisdom be inferior to thee?
8Sithaw khae hoi ih tamqu lok to na thaih vai maw? Palunghahaih tawn kami loe nang khue maw?
9What knowest thou that we are ignorant of? what dost thou understand that we know not?
9Ka panoek o ai ih hmuen, timaw na panoek? Ka thaih o kop ai ih hmuen, timaw na thai kop?
10There are with us also aged and ancient men, much elder than thy fathers.
10Nam pa pongah saning coeh, sampok kaminawk kaicae khaeah oh vop.
11Is it a great matter that God should comfort thee? but thy wicked words hinder this.
11Sithaw pathloephaih lok to na khawt ai vop maw? Hawk ih hmuen na suek vop maw?
12Why doth thy heart elevate thee, and why dost thou stare with thy eyes, as if they were thinking great things?
12Tipongah palung koehhaih to na paroi moe, miktamai hoiah mik na padai loe?
13Why doth thy spirit swell against God, to utter such words out of thy mouth?
13To tiah na oh pongah na ai maw Sithaw koeh ai ih hmuen to na sak moe, na pakha thung hoiah lok na tacawtsak?
14What is man that he should be without spot, and he that is born of a woman that he should appear just?
14Kami loe timaw, anih loe ciim thai tih maw? Nongpata mah tapen ih kami loe toeng thai tih maw?
15Behold among his saints none is unchangeable, and the heavens are not pure in his sight.
15Khenah, Sithaw loe angmah ih kaciim kaminawk mataeng doeh oep ai; ue, a hmaa ah loe vannawk doeh ciim ai.
16How much more is man abominable, and unprofitable, who drinketh iniquity like water?
16To tiah nahaeloe zaehaih tui baktih kanae, panuet thok kami cae loe kawkruk maw amhnong tih?
17I will shew thee, hear me: and I will tell thee what I have seen.
17Tahngai ah, kang thuih han vop; ka hnuk ih hmuen to kang thuih han vop;
18Wise men confess and hide not their fathers.
18palungha kaminawk loe, ampanawk khae hoi hak ih hmuennawk to angphat ai ah thuih o:
19To whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger hath passed among them.
19nihcae acaeng han khue ni prae to paek, nihcae salakah acaeng kalah mi doeh om o ai.
20The wicked man is proud all his days, and the number of the years of his tyranny is uncertain.
20Kasae kami loe a hing thung patangkhang, pacaekthlaek thaih kami loe a hing thung karai tong han ih saningnawk to panoek ai.
21The sound of dread is always in his ears: and when there is peace, he always suspecteth treason.
21Anih ih naa loe zithaih lok hoiah koi; khosak hoih nathuem ah, a nuiah amrohaih to phak.
22He believeth not that he may return from darkness to light, looking round about for the sword on every side.
22Anih loe vinghaih thung hoi loih hanah oephaih tawn ai; sumsen ni a zing sut boeh.
23When he moveth himself to seek bread, he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
23Anih loe amhet rumram moe, caaknaek to pakrong; a nuiah pha han koi vinghaih ani loe zoi boeh, tiah anih mah panoek.
24Tribulation shall terrify him, and distress shall surround him, as a king that is prepared for the battle.
24Raihaih hoi palungboenghaih mah anih to tasoehsak moe, siangpahrang mah misatuk han amsakcoek baktih toengah, raihaih hoi palungboenghaih mah anih to pazawk.
25For he hath stretched out his hand against God, and hath strengthened himself against the Almighty.
25Anih mah Sithaw to ban payangh thuih moe, Thacak Sithaw ih lok aek hanah tha pathok.
26He hath run against him with his neck raised up, and is armed with a fat neck.
26Kathah parai misa angvaenghaih aphawnawk to angkhuk moe, Sithaw to a hmang;
27Fatness hath covered his face, and the fat hangeth down on his sides.
27anih ih mikhmai loe thawk hruk moe, a kaeng ih ngan doeh tasa bangah tacawt dok.
28He hath dwelt in desolate cities, and in desert houses that are reduced into heaps.
28Anih loe kamro tangcae vangpuinawk, mi mah doeh om haih ai ih, kamtimh tom imnawk ah ni khosak.
29He shall not be enriched, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he push his root in the earth.
29Anih loe angraeng thai mak ai, anih angraenghaih doeh cak mak ai; long nui khosak naah a tawnh ih hmuennawk doeh pung mak ai.
30He shall not depart out of darkness: the flame shall dry up his branches, and he shall be taken away by the breath of his own month.
30Anih loe vinghaih thung hoi loih thai mak ai; anih ih tanghangnawk loe hmai mah kang ueloe, Sithaw pakha thung ih takhi mah hmut phaeng tih.
31He shall not believe, being vainly deceived by error, that he may be redeemed with any price.
31Avang ai hmuen oephaih hoiah angmah hoi angmah to angling hmah nasoe, to tih ai nahaeloe avang ai atho to ni anih mah hnu tih.
32Before his days be full he shall perish: and his hands shall wither away.
32Anih loe atue pha ai naah azaem ueloe, tanghang doeh tacawt mak ai boeh.
33He shall be blasted as a vine when its grapes are in the first flower, and as an olive tree that casteth its flower.
33Anih loe hmin ai naah pakhrik ving ih misurthaih baktih, apawk kangmuen olive thingkung baktiah ni om tih.
34For the congregation of the hypocrite is barren, and fire shall devour their tabernacles, who love to take bribes.
34Sithaw tidoeh sah ai kaminawk loe azaem o tih; bokhaih tangqum koeh kaminawk ih kahni im loe hmai mah kang tih.
35He hath conceived sorrow, and hath brought forth iniquity, and his womb prepareth deceits.
35Nihcae loe raihaih to zok ah pomh o moe, tidoeh avang ai caa to tapen o; nihcae ih zok loe alinghaih to ni pomh o, tiah a naa.
