1The Baldad the Suhite answered, and said:
1To naah Shuh acaeng Bildah mah,
2How long wilt thou speak these things, and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?
2hae baktih hmuen kawngnawk hae vai nazetto maw na thuih han vop? Na pakha hoi tacawt loknawk loe nasetto maw takhi baktiah thacak vop tih?
3Doth God pervert judgment, or doth the Almighty overthrow that which is just?
3Sithaw loe katoeng ai ah lokcaek maw? Katoeng ah lokcaekhaih to Thacak Sithaw mah phrae ving tih maw?
4Although thy children have sinned against him, and he hath left them in the hand of their iniquity:
4Na caanawk mah a nuiah hmuen sakpazae o pongah, a sakpazae o haih baktih toengah, anih mah nihcae to thuitaek;
5Yet if thou wilt arise early to God, and wilt beseech the Almighty:
5toe Sithaw khaeah nang qoi moe, Thacak Sithaw khaeah tahmenhaih na hnik nahaeloe,
6If thou wilt walk clean and upright, he will presently awake onto thee, and will make the dwelling of thy justice peaceable:
6na ciim moe, na toeng nahaeloe, vaihi nang hanah angthawk ueloe, katoengah kho na sakhaih ahmuen to qoengsak tih.
7Insomuch, that if thy former things were small, thy latter things would be multiplied exceedingly.
7Nam tong tangsuek naah thoengkae cadoeh, hnukkhuem ah loe lensawkhaih hoiah na qoeng tahang tih.
8For inquire of the former generation, and search diligently into the memory of the fathers:
8Kalaem tangcae atue to dueng ah, nam panawk mah tongh o ih hmuennawk to dueng ah loe poek ah;
9(For we are but of yesterday, and are ignorant that our days upon earth are but a shadow:)
9(aicae loe zangduem ah ni tapen o vop, to pongah tidoeh a panoek o ai, long nuiah aicae khosakhaih aninawk loe tahlip ah ni oh.)
10And they shall teach thee: they shall speak to thee, and utter words out of their hearts.
10Nihcae mah loe palung tang hoi patuk ueloe, na thuitaek o mak ai maw?
11Can the rush be green without moisture? or a sedge-bush grow without water?
11Cakrungkung baktih akung loe tangnong om ai ahmuen ah amprawk thai maw? Tui taeng ih phroh loe tui om ai ah ampraek thai maw?
12When it is yet in flower, and is not plucked up with the hand, it withereth before all herbs.
12To akung loe amprawk tahang naah, aqam hing suep pongah mi mah doeh aat ai; toe kalah qam pongah azaem zoi kue.
13Even so are the ways of all that forget God, and the hope of the hypocrite shall perish:
13Sithaw pahnet kaminawk caehhaih loklam doeh to tiah oh; Sithaw tidoeh sah ai kami oephaih loe amro tih.
14His folly shall not please him, and his trust shall be like the spider’s web.
14Nihcae oephaih loklam loe amro tih, nihcae amhahaih loe bongpaha tazae baktiah ni om tih.
15He shall lean upon his house, and it shall not stand: he shall prop it up, and it shall not rise:
15Anih loe angmah im ah amha, toe angdoe thai ai; a ban hoi patawnh, toe cak ai.
16He seemeth to have moisture before the sun cometh, and at his rising his blossom shall shoot forth.
16To baktih kami loe ni bet naah hing suep moe, tanghang mah takha to khuk boih.
17His roots shall be thick upon a heap of stones, and among the stones he shall abide.
17A tangzun mah thlung to zaeng boih moe, thlung salakah tangzun sakhaih ahmuen to pakrong.
18If one swallow him up out of his place, he shall deny him, and shall say: I know thee not.
18Toe kami mah a ohhaih ahmuen hoiah aphongh ving naah loe, a ohhaih ahmuen mah anih khaeah, Nang hae kang hnuh vai ai, tiah naa ueloe, angphat taak tih.
19For this is the joy of his way, that others may spring again out of the earth.
19Khenah, anih anghoehaih loklam loe to tiah oh; anih amprawkhaih ahmuen ah, kalah thingnawk to amprawk o lat tih.
20God will not cast away the simple, nor reach out his hand to the evildoer:
20Khenah, coek koi om ai kami to Sithaw mah haek ai; kasae hmuen sah kami doeh abomh ai:
21Until thy mouth be filled with laughter, and thy lips with rejoicing.
21anih mah na pakha to pahnuisak ueloe, na pahni to anghoehaih hoiah koisak tih.
22They that hate thee, shall be clothed with confusion: and the dwelling of the wicked shall not stand.
22Nang hnuma kaminawk to azatsak tih, kasae kami ohhaih im to anghma tih boeh, tiah a naa.
