1Te phoeiah Temani Eliphaz loh a doo.
1Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said:
2Te vaengah, “Aka cueih loh khohli mingnah neh a doo vetih a bung ah kanghawn a hah sak aya?
2Should a wise man make answer with windy knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
3A taengah hmaiben pawt tih a hoeikhang pawh olthui te ol neh a tluung aya?
3Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
4Nang aisat, hinyahnah na muei sak tih Pathen mikhmuh kah thuepnah khaw na bim.
4Yea, thou doest away with fear, and impairest devotion before God.
5Na ka loh namah kathaesainah a cang tih thaai ol na coelh.
5For thine iniquity teacheth thy mouth, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
6Na ka loh nang m'boe sak tih kai long moenih. Na hmuilai long ni namah te n'doo.
6Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
7Hlang lamhma la n'sak tih som a om hlan lamloh n'yom coeng a?
7Art thou the first man that was born? Or wast thou brought forth before the hills?
8Pathen kah baecenol te na yaak tih namah hamla cueihnah na buem a?
8Dost thou hearken in the council of God? And dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
9Ka ming uh pawt te metlam na ming tih kaimih taengah amah a om pawt khaw na yakming?
9What knowest thou, that we know not? What understandest thou, which is not in us?
10Sampok khaw, mamih taengkah patong khaw na pa lakah a khohnin khuet coeng ta.
10With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, much older than thy father.
11Pathen loh hloephloeinah neh na taengah dikdik a cal ol nang hamla vawt a?
11Are the consolations of God too small for thee, and the word that dealeth gently with thee?
12Balae tih na lungbuei na a khuen? Balae tih na mik loh a mikmuelh?
12Why doth thy heart carry thee away? And why do thine eyes wink?
13Na thintoek te Pathen taengla na hooi tih na ka lamloh ol na tha.
13That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth.
14Huta kah a sak te mebang hlanghing nim aka cim tih aka tang te?
14What is man, that he should be clean? And he that is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15A hlangcim khuikah a hlangcim koek pataeng tangnah pawt tih vaan pataeng amah mikhmuh ah a cil moenih.
15Behold, He putteth no trust in His holy ones; yea, the heavens are not clean in His sight.
16Tui bangla dumlai aka mam hlang, a tueilaeh neh a rhonging aisat a.
16How much less one that is abominable and impure, man who drinketh iniquity like water!
17Nang taengah kan thui eh kai ol he hnatun dae. Ka hmuh te kan tae eh.
17I will tell thee, hear thou me; and that which I have seen I will declare —
18Te te hlangcueih rhoek loh a thui uh tih a napa rhoek taeng lamloh a phah uh moenih.
18Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it;
19Amih te amamih bueng ham khohmuen a paek vaengah amih lakli ah kholong a nuen sak moenih.
19Unto whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them.
20Halang tah hnin takuem amah kilkul tih hlanghaeng ham a kum tarhing la khoem uh.
20The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.
21Ngaimongnah khuiah pataeng anih aka rhoelrhak ham a hna ah birhihnah ol a pawk pah.
21A sound of terrors is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
22Hmaisuep lamloh mael ham tangnah pawt tih rhaltawt long khaw amah cunghang te dongah tawt uh.
22He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
23Buh hamla amah poeng tih a kut ah hmaisuep khohnin bangla a tawn te metlam a ming eh?
23He wandereth abroad for bread: 'Where is it?' He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
24Anih te rhal loh a let sak tih caem dongah a coekcoe la aka om manghai bangla khobing loh anih te a khulae.
24Distress and anguish overwhelm him; they prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
25Pathen taengah a kut a thueng tih Tlungthang taengah phuel uh.
25Because he hath stretched out his hand against God, and behaveth himself proudly against the Almighty;
26A rhawn kah uen a thah la a taengah a photling a yong puei.
26He runneth upon him with a stiff neck, with the thick bosses of his bucklers.
27A maelhmai te a tha neh a khuk tih a uen duela bungkawt laep.
27Because he hath covered his face with his fatness, and made collops of fat on his loins;
28Tedae khopuei khosa khaw a im ding te lungkuk la a phaek uh tih a khuiah khosa uh pawh.
28And he hath dwelt in desolate cities, in houses which no man would inhabit, which were ready to become heaps.
29Boei pawt vetih a thadueng khaw pai mahpawh. Amih kah khohrhang loh diklai ah pungtai mahpawh.
29He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall their produce bend to the earth.
30Hmaisuep lamloh nong thai mahpawh. A dawn te hmairhong loh a hae vetih a ka dongkah yilh loh a khoe ni.
30He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of His mouth shall he go away.
31A poeyoek dongah tangnah boel saeh lamtah a poeyoek dongah khohmang boel saeh. A hnothung khaw a poeyoek lamni a om eh.
31Let him not trust in vanity, deceiving himself; for vanity shall be his recompense.
32A khohnin loh cup pawt vetih a rhophoe khaw hing mahpawh.
32It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be leafy.
33Misur a thaihkang bangla hul vetih olive rhaipai bangla rhul ni.
33He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
34Lailak kah hlangboel tah pumhong la om vetih kapbaih kah dap tah hmai loh a hlawp ni.
34For the company of the godless shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tents of bribery.
35thakthaenah la vawn tih boethae a sak. A bungko khaw hlangthai palat cuen,” a ti nah.
35They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
