1Te phoeiah Temani Eliphaz loh a doo.
1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
2Te vaengah, “Aka cueih loh khohli mingnah neh a doo vetih a bung ah kanghawn a hah sak aya?
2“Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself 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 with which he can do no good?
4Nang aisat, hinyahnah na muei sak tih Pathen mikhmuh kah thuepnah khaw na bim.
4Yes, you do away with fear, and hinder devotion before God.
5Na ka loh namah kathaesainah a cang tih thaai ol na coelh.
5For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the language of the crafty.
6Na ka loh nang m'boe sak tih kai long moenih. Na hmuilai long ni namah te n'doo.
6Your own mouth condemns you, and not I. Yes, your own lips testify against you.
7Hlang lamhma la n'sak tih som a om hlan lamloh n'yom coeng a?
7“Are you the first man who was born? Or were you brought out before the hills?
8Pathen kah baecenol te na yaak tih namah hamla cueihnah na buem a?
8Have you heard the secret counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
9Ka ming uh pawt te metlam na ming tih kaimih taengah amah a om pawt khaw na yakming?
9What do you know that we don’t know? What do you understand 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 your father.
11Pathen loh hloephloeinah neh na taengah dikdik a cal ol nang hamla vawt a?
11Are the consolations of God too small for you, even the word that is gentle toward you?
12Balae tih na lungbuei na a khuen? Balae tih na mik loh a mikmuelh?
12Why does your heart carry you away? Why do your eyes flash,
13Na thintoek te Pathen taengla na hooi tih na ka lamloh ol na tha.
13that you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?
14Huta kah a sak te mebang hlanghing nim aka cim tih aka tang te?
14What is man, that he should be clean? What is he who 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 puts no trust in his holy ones. Yes, 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 who is abominable and corrupt, a man who drinks iniquity like water!
17Nang taengah kan thui eh kai ol he hnatun dae. Ka hmuh te kan tae eh.
17“I will show you, listen to me; 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.
18(which wise men have told by their fathers, and have not hidden it;
19Amih te amamih bueng ham khohmuen a paek vaengah amih lakli ah kholong a nuen sak moenih.
19to 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 writhes in 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 will come on him.
22Hmaisuep lamloh mael ham tangnah pawt tih rhaltawt long khaw amah cunghang te dongah tawt uh.
22He doesn’t believe that he will return out of darkness. He is waited for by the sword.
23Buh hamla amah poeng tih a kut ah hmaisuep khohnin bangla a tawn te metlam a ming eh?
23He wanders abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’ He knows 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 make him afraid. They prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
25Pathen taengah a kut a thueng tih Tlungthang taengah phuel uh.
25Because he has stretched out his hand against God, and behaves himself proudly against the Almighty,
26A rhawn kah uen a thah la a taengah a photling a yong puei.
26he runs at him with a stiff neck, with the thick shields of his bucklers,
27A maelhmai te a tha neh a khuk tih a uen duela bungkawt laep.
27because he has covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat on his thighs.
28Tedae khopuei khosa khaw a im ding te lungkuk la a phaek uh tih a khuiah khosa uh pawh.
28He has lived in desolate cities, in houses which no one inhabited, which were ready to become heaps.
29Boei pawt vetih a thadueng khaw pai mahpawh. Amih kah khohrhang loh diklai ah pungtai mahpawh.
29He will not be rich, neither will his substance continue, neither will their possessions be extended on the earth.
30Hmaisuep lamloh nong thai mahpawh. A dawn te hmairhong loh a hae vetih a ka dongkah yilh loh a khoe ni.
30He will not depart out of darkness. The flame will dry up his branches. He will go away by the breath of God’s mouth.
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 emptiness, deceiving himself, for emptiness will be his reward.
32A khohnin loh cup pawt vetih a rhophoe khaw hing mahpawh.
32It will be accomplished before his time. His branch will not be green.
33Misur a thaihkang bangla hul vetih olive rhaipai bangla rhul ni.
33He will shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and will cast off his flower as the olive tree.
34Lailak kah hlangboel tah pumhong la om vetih kapbaih kah dap tah hmai loh a hlawp ni.
34For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will 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 produce iniquity. Their heart prepares deceit.”
