1Then Sophar the Naamathite answered, and said:
1To naah Naamath acaeng Zophar mah;
2Therefore various thoughts succeed one another in me, and my mind is hurried away to different things.
2ka pathim hanah, ka palung thungah toksak pongah, karangah ka thuih han.
3The doctrine with which thou reprovest me, I will hear, and the spirit of my understanding shall answer for me.
3Kai kasae na thuihaih hoi zoehhaih lok to ka thaih boeh, to pongah pathim han angaih, tiah palung thung hoi ka panoek.
4This I know from the beginning, since man was placed upon the earth,
4Long ah kami oh tangsuekhaih atue, canghnii atue hoi kaom hae baktih hmuen hae na panoek ai maw?
5That the praise of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment.
5Kasae kami khosak hoihaih loe sawk ai, Sithaw tidoeh sah ai kami anghoehaih doeh nawnetta ah ni oh.
6If his pride mount up even to heaven, and his head touch the clouds:
6A lensawkhaih mah van to phak moe, a lu mah tamai angtok cadoeh,
7In the end he shall be destroyed like a dunghill, and they that has seen him shall say: Where is he?
7anih loe angmah ih aek baktiah ni amro poe tih, anih hnu kaminawk mah, Anih loe naa ah maw oh ving boeh? tiah thui o tih.
8As a dream that fleeth away he shall not be found, he shall pass as a vision of the night:
8Anih loe amang baktiah azawk ving tih, hnu mak ai boeh; ue, khoving amang ah hnuk ih hmuen baktiah anghmaa ving tih.
9The eyes that had seen him, shall see him no more, neither shall his place any more behold him.
9Anih hnu mik mah anih to hnu let mak ai boeh; a ohhaih ahmuen mah doeh anih to khen mak ai boeh.
10His children shall be oppressed with want, and his hands shall render him his sorrow.
10A caanawk loe amtang kaminawk khaeah tahmenhaih hni o ueloe, a tawnh o ih hmuenmae to a ban hoiah paek pathok o let tih.
11His bones shall be filled with the vices of his youth, and they shall sleep with him in the dust.
11Anih ih huhongnawk loe thendoeng thacak nathuem ih zaehaih hoiah koi cadoeh, angmah hoi nawnto maiphu thungah angsong tih.
12For when evil shall be sweet in his mouth, he will hide it under his tongue.
12Sethaih loe anih ih pakha ah luep, anih mah angmah ih palai tlim ah hawk moe,
13He will spare it, and not leave it, and will hide it in his throat.
13paawt pongah pahnawt sut han koeh ai, angmah ih pakha thungah paumh hmoek cadoeh,
14His bread in his belly shall be turned into the gall of asps within him.
14a caak ih buh zok thungah phak naah thaw ueloe, pahui sae ih kasoetui ah angcoeng pae tih.
15The riches which he hath swallowed; he shall vomit up, and God shall draw them out of his belly.
15Anih mah paaeh ih angraenghaihnawk to pathaak let ueloe, Sithaw mah anih ih zok thung hoiah la let tih.
16He shall suck the head of asps, and the viper’s tongue shall kill him.
16Anih loe pahui sae ih kasoetui to pazop ueloe, pahui sae mah anih to patuk maat tih.
17(Let him not see the streams of the river, the brooks of honey and of butter.)
17Anih loe kalong tuipui, khoitui hoi kamkhawk tahnutui longhaih tui to hnu mak ai.
18He shall be punished for all that he did, and yet shall not be consumed: according to the multitude of his devices so also shall he suffer.
18A toksakhaih atho to caa mak ai, minawk hanah paek let tih; to tiah a paek let pongah anih loe anghoehaih tawn mak ai.
19Because he broke in and stripped the poor: he hath violently taken away a house which he did not build.
19Anih mah kamtang kaminawk to pacaekthlaek moe, tiah doeh sah ai; angmah sak ai ih imnawk to a lomh pae pongah to tiah oh.
20And yet his belly was not filled: and when he hath the things he coveted, he shall not be able to possess them.
20Anih loe koehhaih boep thai ai; a koeh ih hmuen mah anih pahlong thai mak ai.
21There was nothing left of his meat, and therefore nothing shall continue of his goods:
21Anih mah caak han ih buh tidoeh om mak ai boeh; a tawnh ih angraenghaih hmuen doeh cak poe mak ai.
22When he shall be filled, he shall be straitened, he shall burn, and every sorrow shall fall upon him.
22Hmuenmae angraeng nathuem ah amtang ueloe, a nuiah raihaih congca to pha tih.
23May his belly be filled, that God may send forth the wrath of his indignation upon him, and rain down his war upon him.
23Anih zok amhah han oh naah, Sithaw mah palungphuihaih to a nuiah phasak ueloe, buhcaak nathuem ah palungphuihaih khotui baktiah angzo tih.
24He shall flee from weapons of iron, and shall fall upon a bow of brass.
24Anih loe sum hoi sak ih maiphaw maica thung hoiah loih; toe sumkamling palaa mah anih to kaat tih.
25The sword is drawn out, and cometh forth from its scabbard, and glittereth in his bitterness: the terrible ones shall go and come upon him.
25Anih loe a takpum thung hoi tacawt, palaa to aphongh; ue, anih ih ahmuet thung hoiah rong kampha sumsen to tacawt; a nuiah zithaih to phak;
26All darkness is hid in his secret places: a fire that is not kindled shall devour him, he shall be afflicted when left in his tabernacle.
26anih tamquta hoi ohhaih ahmuen ah khovinghaih to suek pae; anih loe kami mah hmuh ai ih hmai mah kang tih; a ohhaih kahni im ah kaom hmuennawk boih to kangh pae tih.
27The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and the earth shall rise up against him.
27Van mah anih sakpazaehaih amtuengsak tih, long mah doeh anih han misa angthawk thui tih.
28The offspring of his house shall be exposed, he shall be pulled down in the day of God’s wrath.
28A im ih hmuenmaenawk to anghmaa tih, Angraeng palungphuihaih niah loe anih khosak hoihaih to tui baktiah long tih.
29This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the inheritance of his doings from the Lord.
29Sithaw mah to baktih tangqum to kasae kaminawk hanah paek, Sitawh mah to baktih qawktoep hanah anih to suek, tiah a naa.
