1Temani Eliphaz loh a doo tih,
1Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
2Pathen te hlang loh s hmaiben a?Lungming khaw amah la dawk a hmaiben uh.
2“Can a man be of use to God? Can even a wise man benefit Him?
3Na tang mai tih na mueluemnah mai akhaw, na khoboe soep cakhaw tlungthang hamla naep aya?
3Does it delight the Almighty that you are righteous? Does He profit if your ways are blameless?
4Na hinyahnah dongah nang te laitloeknah neh n'khuen tih nang n'tluung a?
4Is it for your reverence that He rebukes you and enters into judgment against you?
5Na boethae tangkik pawt nim?Nang kah thaesainah te a bawtnah om pawh.
5Is not your wickedness great? Are not your iniquities endless?
6Lunglilungla la na manuca na laikoi tih pumtling kah himbai te na pit pah.
6For you needlessly demanded security from your brothers and deprived the naked of their clothing.
7Buhmueh rhathih te tui na tul pawt tih bungpong te buh na hloh pah.
7You gave no water to the weary and withheld food from the famished,
8Bantha aka khueh hlang loh amah hamla khohmuen a khueh tih a sokah khosa mikhmuh ah a dangrhoek.
8while the land belonged to a mighty man, and a man of honor lived on it.
9Nuhmai te kuttling la na tueih tih cadah te a ban na phop pah.
9You sent widows away empty-handed, and the strength of the fatherless was crushed.
10Na kaepvai kah pael dongah he khaw na birhihnah neh buengrhuet na let.
10Therefore snares surround you, and sudden peril terrifies you;
11A hmuep khaw na hmu pawt tih tuili tui loh nang n'khuk.
11it is so dark you cannot see, and a flood of water covers you.
12Pathen tah vaan sang kah moenih a?So lah, aisi rhoek kah a lu tah pomsang uh te.
12Is not God as high as the heavens? Look at the highest stars, how lofty they are!
13Te lalah, “Pathen te metlam a mingpha?Yinnah lamloh lai a tloek a?
13Yet you say: ‘What does God know? Does He judge through thick darkness?
14Anih te khomai loh a huep tih tueng pawh. Te vaengah vaan kah kueluek dongah cet,” na ti.
14Thick clouds veil Him so He does not see us as He traverses the vault of heaven.’
15Boethae hlang rhoek loh a cawt khosuen caehlong nim na ngaithuen salah?
15Will you stay on the ancient path that wicked men have trod?
16A tonga uh vaengah a tue pawt ah khaw tuiva loh amih kah khoengim te a hawt pah.
16They were snatched away before their time, and their foundations were swept away by a flood.
17“Pathen te mamih taeng lamloh nong saeh, Tlungthang loh mamih taengah balae a saii eh? ” a ti uh.
17They said to God, ‘Depart from us. What can the Almighty do to us?’
18Amah loh amih im te hnothen a cung sak sitoe cakhaw halang kah cilsuep tah kai lamloh lakhla saeh.
18But it was He who filled their houses with good things; so I stay far from the counsel of the wicked.
19Aka dueng rhoek loh a hmuh vaengah a kohoe uh tih ommongsitoe loh amih te a tamdaeng.
19The righteous see it and are glad; the innocent mock them:
20Mamih kah thinnaeh a thup vetih amih kah a coih te hmai loh hlawp het pawt nim?
20‘Surely our foes are destroyed, and fire has consumed their excess.’
21Amah neh hmaiben lamtah te nen te thuung laeh. Nang taengah hnothen ha pawk bitni.
21Reconcile now and be at peace with Him; thereby good will come to you.
22A ka lamkah olkhueng mah doe laeh, a ol te khaw na thinko khuiah khueh laeh.
22Receive instruction from His mouth, and lay up His words in your heart.
23Tlungthang taengla na mael atah n'thoh bitni dumlai mah na dap lamloh lakhla sak.
23If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored. If you remove injustice from your tents
24Pasing te laipi bangla, Ophir te soklong kah lungpang bangla khueh ngawn.
24and consign your gold to the dust and the gold of Ophir to the stones of the ravines,
25Te vaengah na pasing te tlungthang la, cak te na ki la poeh bitni.
25then the Almighty will be your gold and the finest silver for you.
26Te daengah ni Tlungthang dongah na ngailaem vetih Pathen taengla na maelhmai na dangrhoek bitni.
26Surely then you will delight in the Almighty and lift up your face to God.
27A taengah na thangthui vaengah nang ol a yaak vetih na olcaeng khaw cung ni.
27You will pray to Him, and He will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows.
28Olkhueh te na tuiphih vaengah nang hamla thoo vetih na longpuei ah vangnah loh a tue ni.
28Your decisions will be carried out, and light will shine on your ways.
29A kunyun uh vaengah koevoeinah na thui dae tlahoei mik ni a khang eh.
29When men are brought low and you say, ‘Lift them up!’ then He will save the lowly.
30Ommongsitoe pawt khaw loeih vetih na kut kah cimcaihnah loh a loeih sak ni,” a ti.
30He will deliver even one who is not innocent, rescuing him through the cleanness of your hands.”
