1Naamathi Zophar loh a doo tih,
1Then Zophar the Naamathite replied:
2“Ol cungkuem te a doo moenih a? Hlang he a hmuilai ngawn tah tang dae ta.
2“Should this stream of words go unanswered and such a speaker be vindicated?
3Na olsai te hlang loh ngam vetih na tamdaeng vaengah a hmaithae mahpawt nim?
3Should your babbling put others to silence? Will you scoff without rebuke?
4Te vaengah, “Ka rhingtuknah he cil tih na mikhmuh ah a caih la ka om,” na ti.
4You have said, ‘My doctrine is sound, and I am pure in Your sight.’
5Nang taengah aka thui la Pathen loh unim dawk a paek tih a hmuilai ong koinih.
5But if only God would speak and open His lips against you,
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.
6and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom has two sides. Know then that God exacts from you less than your iniquity deserves.
7Pathen kah khenah na hmuh tih Tlungthang kah a khuetnah hil na hmuh a?
7Can you fathom the deep things of God or discover the limits of the Almighty?
8Vaan la a sang te metlam na saii eh? Saelkhui lakah a dung te metlam na ming eh?
8They are higher than the heavens—what can you do? They are deeper than Sheol—what can you know?
9A himbaidok loh diklai lakah a puet tih tuitunli lakah dangka ngai.
9Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.
10A hil tih a tlaeng tih a tingtun sak phoeiah tah ulong anih a mael sak.
10If He comes along to imprison you, or convenes a court, who can stop Him?
11Amah loh a poeyoek hlang rhoek khaw a ming ngawn dae boethae a hmuh vaengah yakming pawh.
11Surely He knows the deceit of men. If He sees iniquity, does He not take note?
12Tedae tuihong hlang loh hloih koinih kohong marhang neh laak te hlang la a sak khaming.
12But a witless man can no more become wise than the colt of a wild donkey can be born a man!
13Na lungbuei na cikngae tih a taengla na kut na phuel koinih,
13As for you, if you direct your heart and lift up your hands to Him,
14Na kut dongkah boethae te na lakhla tak tih na dap ah dumlai na khueh pawt atah,
14if you put away the iniquity in your hand, and allow no injustice to dwell in your tents,
15A lolhmaih kolla na maelhmai na ludoeng van bitni. Na om vaengah khaw tluektluek na long vetih na rhih om mahpawh.
15then indeed you will lift up your face without shame; you will stand firm and unafraid.
16Nang ham tah thakthaenah te na hnilh vetih tui aka long voelh bangla na poek bitni.
16For you will forget your misery, recalling it only as waters gone by.
17Na khosak khaw khothun lakah sae vetih, a hmuep khaw mincang bangla om ni.
17Your life will be brighter than noonday; its darkness will be like the morning.
18Ngaiuepnah a om dongah na pangtung vetih ngaikhuek la na too phoeiah na yalh bitni.
18You will be secure, because there is hope, and you will look around and lie down in safety.
19Na kol vaengah na lakueng neh na maelhmai muep thae voel mahpawh.
19You will lie down without fear, and many will court your favor.
20Tedae halang kah mik tah kha vetih thuhaelnah khaw amih lamloh bing ni, a ngaiuepnah khaw hinglu polpainah la om ni,” a ti nah.
20But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and escape will elude them; they will hope for their last breath.”
