1Te phoeiah Job loh a doo tih tih,
1Then Job answered,
2Ka ol hnatun, hnatun lamtah te te nangmih kah hloephloeinah om saeh.
2“Listen diligently to my speech. Let this be your consolation.
3Ka thui vaengah kai ol he ueh mai lamtah ka thui hnukah nan tamdaeng akhaw.
3Allow me, and I also will speak. After I have spoken, mock on.
4Kai khaw ka kohuetnah he hlang hut a? Balae tih ka mueihla loh a ngen pawt mai eh?
4As for me, is my complaint to man? Why shouldn’t I be impatient?
5Kai taengla a mael vaengah hal tih a kut neh a ka te a puei.
5Look at me, and be astonished. Lay your hand on your mouth.
6Ka poek bal vaengah ka let tih ka pumsa he tuennah loh a tuuk.
6When I remember, I am troubled. Horror takes hold of my flesh.
7Halang rhoek tah haimo la a hing uh akhaw balae tih tatthai la a len uh.
7“Why do the wicked live, become old, yes, and grow mighty in power?
8A mikhmuh kah a tiingan rhoek neh a mikhmuh kah a cadil cahma khaw amih taengah a cikngae sak.
8Their child is established with them in their sight, their offspring before their eyes.
9Amih im khaw birhihnah lamloh ngaimongnah la om tih Pathen kah conghol loh amih soah cuk thil pawh.
9Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
10A vaito a pil vaengah a vaito a pom khaw tuei pawt tih thangyah tlaih pawh.
10Their bulls breed without fail. Their cows calve, and don’t miscarry.
11A casenca rhoek te boiva bangla a hlah uh tih a camoe rhoek loh soipet uh.
11They send out their little ones like a flock. Their children dance.
12Kamrhing neh rhotoeng te a phueih uh tih phavi ol neh a kohoe uh.
12They sing to the tambourine and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe.
13Amamih vaengkah tue then khuiah muei uh tih hmawn uh. Mikhaptok ah saelkhui la ael uh.
13They spend their days in prosperity. In an instant they go down to Sheol.
14Tedae Pathen taengah, “Kaimih taeng lamloh nong laeh. Na longpuei ming ham ka ngaih uh moenih.
14They tell God, ‘Depart from us, for we don’t want to know about your ways.
15Anih taengah thothueng ham khaw unim tlungthang? A taengah n'cuuk uh ham khaw balae a hoeikhang eh?” a ti uh.
15What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What profit should we have, if we pray to him?’
16Amih kah thennah khaw amamih kut ah om pawt lah ko ke. Halang rhoek kah cilsuep te kai lamloh lakhla saeh.
16Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand. The counsel of the wicked is far from me.
17Halang rhoek kah hmaithoi tah metlam khaw thi tih amamih kah rhainah amamih soah a thoeng pah. A thintoek neh a rhilong a suem pah.
17“How often is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out, that their calamity comes on them, that God distributes sorrows in his anger?
18Khohli hmai ah cangkong bangla om uh tih cangkik bangla cangpalam loh a khuen.
18How often is it that they are as stubble before the wind, as chaff that the storm carries away?
19Pathen loh a ca rhoek ham a khoem coeng. A boethae te amah taengah thuung saeh lamtah ming saeh.
19You say, ‘God lays up his iniquity for his children.’ Let him recompense it to himself, that he may know it.
20A sitlohthamlam te a mik, a mik ah tueng saeh lamtah tlungthang kah kosi te mam sak saeh.
20Let his own eyes see his destruction. Let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21A hnukah a imkhui ham a kongaih te balae? A hla kah a tarhing khaw bawt coeng.
21For what does he care for his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off?
22Pathen te mingnah a tukkil a? Amah he pomsang tih lai a tloek.
22“Shall any teach God knowledge, since he judges those who are high?
23A cungkuem dongah bidipbisok tih thayoeituipan la amah kah thincaknah rhuhrhong neh aka duek he,
23One dies in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
24A rhangsuk khaw suktui buem tih a rhuh hliing khaw sulpuem.
24His pails are full of milk. The marrow of his bones is moistened.
25Hinglu khahing la duek tih hnothen aka ca pawt he khaw,
25Another dies in bitterness of soul, and never tastes of good.
26laipi khuiah rhenten yalh tih a rhit loh a soah a yol.
26They lie down alike in the dust. The worm covers them.
27Nangmih kah kopoek ka ming phoeiah tangkhuepnah neh kai soah nan hul ni te.
27“Behold, I know your thoughts, the plans with which you would wrong me.
28“Hlangcong im te menim? Halang tolhmuen kah dap te menim?” na ti uh.
28For you say, ‘Where is the house of the prince? Where is the tent in which the wicked lived?’
29Longpuei aka poeng rhoek te na dawt uh pawt tih amih kah miknoek khaw na hmat uh pawt nim?
29Haven’t you asked wayfaring men? Don’t you know their evidences,
30Rhainah khohnin lamloh boethae te a tuem tih thinpom khohnin lamloh a khuen te ta.
30that the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity, that they are led out to the day of wrath?
31A khoboe te a mikhmuh ah aka phoe pah te unim? A saii bangla a taengah aka thuung te unim?
31Who will declare his way to his face? Who will repay him what he has done?
32Anih khaw phuel la a khuen vaengah laivuei ni a hak thil.
32Yet he will be borne to the grave. Men will keep watch over the tomb.
33Anih ham soklong kah dikmuh khaw tui. Anih hnuk te hlang boeih loh a thoelh tih anih hmai kah hlangmi tae lek pawh.
33The clods of the valley will be sweet to him. All men will draw after him, as there were innumerable before him.
34Te dongah balae tih a honghi la kai he nan hloep uh? Nangmih kah taikhaih khaw boekoeknah la cul coeng,” a ti.
34So how can you comfort me with nonsense, because in your answers there remains only falsehood?”
