1Then Eliphaz the Themanite answered, and said:
1Temani Eliphaz loh a doo tih,
2Can man be compared with God, even though he were of perfect knowledge?
2Pathen te hlang loh s hmaiben a?Lungming khaw amah la dawk a hmaiben uh.
3What doth it profit God if thou be just? or what dost thou give him if thy way be unspotted?
3Na tang mai tih na mueluemnah mai akhaw, na khoboe soep cakhaw tlungthang hamla naep aya?
4Shall he reprove thee for fear, and come with thee into judgment:
4Na hinyahnah dongah nang te laitloeknah neh n'khuen tih nang n'tluung a?
5And not for thy manifold wickedness, and thy infinite iniquities?
5Na boethae tangkik pawt nim?Nang kah thaesainah te a bawtnah om pawh.
6For thou hast taken away the pledge of thy brethren without cause, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
6Lunglilungla la na manuca na laikoi tih pumtling kah himbai te na pit pah.
7Thou hast not given water to the weary, thou hast withdrawn bread from the hungry.
7Buhmueh rhathih te tui na tul pawt tih bungpong te buh na hloh pah.
8In the strength of thy arm thou didst possess the land, and being the most mighty thou holdest it.
8Bantha aka khueh hlang loh amah hamla khohmuen a khueh tih a sokah khosa mikhmuh ah a dangrhoek.
9Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless thou hast broken in pieces.
9Nuhmai te kuttling la na tueih tih cadah te a ban na phop pah.
10Therefore art thou surrounded with snares, and sudden fear troubleth thee.
10Na kaepvai kah pael dongah he khaw na birhihnah neh buengrhuet na let.
11And didst thou think that thou shouldst not see darkness, and that thou shouldst not be covered with the violence of overflowing waters?
11A hmuep khaw na hmu pawt tih tuili tui loh nang n'khuk.
12Dost not thou think that God is higher than heaven, and is elevated above the height of the stars?
12Pathen tah vaan sang kah moenih a?So lah, aisi rhoek kah a lu tah pomsang uh te.
13And thou sayst: What doth God know? and he judgeth as it were through a mist.
13Te lalah, “Pathen te metlam a mingpha?Yinnah lamloh lai a tloek a?
14The clouds are his covert, and he doth not consider our things, and he walketh about the poles of heaven.
14Anih te khomai loh a huep tih tueng pawh. Te vaengah vaan kah kueluek dongah cet,” na ti.
15Dost thou desire to keep the path of ages, which wicked men have trodden?
15Boethae hlang rhoek loh a cawt khosuen caehlong nim na ngaithuen salah?
16Who were taken away before their time, and a flood hath overthrown their foundation.
16A tonga uh vaengah a tue pawt ah khaw tuiva loh amih kah khoengim te a hawt pah.
17Who said to God: Depart from us: and looked upon the Almighty as if he could do nothing:
17“Pathen te mamih taeng lamloh nong saeh, Tlungthang loh mamih taengah balae a saii eh? ” a ti uh.
18Whereas he had filled their houses with good things: whose way of thinking be far from me.
18Amah loh amih im te hnothen a cung sak sitoe cakhaw halang kah cilsuep tah kai lamloh lakhla saeh.
19The just shall see, and shall rejoice, and the innocent shall laugh them to scorn.
19Aka dueng rhoek loh a hmuh vaengah a kohoe uh tih ommongsitoe loh amih te a tamdaeng.
20Is not their exaltation cut down, and hath not fire devoured the remnants of them?
20Mamih kah thinnaeh a thup vetih amih kah a coih te hmai loh hlawp het pawt nim?
21Submit thyself then to him, and be at peace: and thereby thou shalt have the best fruits.
21Amah neh hmaiben lamtah te nen te thuung laeh. Nang taengah hnothen ha pawk bitni.
22Receive the law of his mouth, and lay up his words in thy heart.
22A ka lamkah olkhueng mah doe laeh, a ol te khaw na thinko khuiah khueh laeh.
23If thou wilt return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, and shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacle.
23Tlungthang taengla na mael atah n'thoh bitni dumlai mah na dap lamloh lakhla sak.
24He shall give for earth flint, and for flint torrents of gold.
24Pasing te laipi bangla, Ophir te soklong kah lungpang bangla khueh ngawn.
25And the Almighty shall be against thy enemies, and silver shall be heaped together for thee.
25Te vaengah na pasing te tlungthang la, cak te na ki la poeh bitni.
26Then shalt thou abound in delights in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face to God.
26Te daengah ni Tlungthang dongah na ngailaem vetih Pathen taengla na maelhmai na dangrhoek bitni.
27Thou shalt pray to him, and he will hear thee, and thou shalt pay vows.
27A taengah na thangthui vaengah nang ol a yaak vetih na olcaeng khaw cung ni.
28Thou shalt decree a thing, and it I shall come to thee, and light shall shine in thy ways.
28Olkhueh te na tuiphih vaengah nang hamla thoo vetih na longpuei ah vangnah loh a tue ni.
29For he that hath been humbled, shall be in glory: and he that shall bow down his eyes, he shall be saved.
29A kunyun uh vaengah koevoeinah na thui dae tlahoei mik ni a khang eh.
30The innocent shall be saved, and he shall be saved by the cleanness of his hands.
30Ommongsitoe pawt khaw loeih vetih na kut kah cimcaihnah loh a loeih sak ni,” a ti.
