1Temani Eliphaz loh a doo tih,
1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
2Pathen te hlang loh s hmaiben a?Lungming khaw amah la dawk a hmaiben uh.
2“Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.
3Na tang mai tih na mueluemnah mai akhaw, na khoboe soep cakhaw tlungthang hamla naep aya?
3Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous? Or does it benefit him that you make your ways perfect?
4Na hinyahnah dongah nang te laitloeknah neh n'khuen tih nang n'tluung a?
4Is it for your piety that he reproves you, that he enters with you into judgment?
5Na boethae tangkik pawt nim?Nang kah thaesainah te a bawtnah om pawh.
5Isn’t your wickedness great? Neither is there any end to your iniquities.
6Lunglilungla la na manuca na laikoi tih pumtling kah himbai te na pit pah.
6For you have taken pledges from your brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
7Buhmueh rhathih te tui na tul pawt tih bungpong te buh na hloh pah.
7You haven’t given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.
8Bantha aka khueh hlang loh amah hamla khohmuen a khueh tih a sokah khosa mikhmuh ah a dangrhoek.
8But as for the mighty man, he had the earth. The honorable man, he lived in it.
9Nuhmai te kuttling la na tueih tih cadah te a ban na phop pah.
9You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
10Na kaepvai kah pael dongah he khaw na birhihnah neh buengrhuet na let.
10Therefore snares are around you. Sudden fear troubles you,
11A hmuep khaw na hmu pawt tih tuili tui loh nang n'khuk.
11or darkness, so that you can not see, and floods of waters cover you.
12Pathen tah vaan sang kah moenih a?So lah, aisi rhoek kah a lu tah pomsang uh te.
12“Isn’t God in the heights of heaven? See the height of the stars, how high they are!
13Te lalah, “Pathen te metlam a mingpha?Yinnah lamloh lai a tloek a?
13You say, ‘What does God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?
14Anih te khomai loh a huep tih tueng pawh. Te vaengah vaan kah kueluek dongah cet,” na ti.
14Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he doesn’t see. He walks on the vault of the sky.’
15Boethae hlang rhoek loh a cawt khosuen caehlong nim na ngaithuen salah?
15Will you keep the old way, which wicked men have trodden,
16A tonga uh vaengah a tue pawt ah khaw tuiva loh amih kah khoengim te a hawt pah.
16who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream,
17“Pathen te mamih taeng lamloh nong saeh, Tlungthang loh mamih taengah balae a saii eh? ” a ti uh.
17who said to God, ‘Depart from us!’ and, ‘What can the Almighty do for us?’
18Amah loh amih im te hnothen a cung sak sitoe cakhaw halang kah cilsuep tah kai lamloh lakhla saeh.
18Yet he filled their houses with good things, but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
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 ridicule them,
20Mamih kah thinnaeh a thup vetih amih kah a coih te hmai loh hlawp het pawt nim?
20saying, ‘Surely those who rose up against us are cut off. The fire has consumed their remnant.’
21Amah neh hmaiben lamtah te nen te thuung laeh. Nang taengah hnothen ha pawk bitni.
21“Acquaint yourself with him now, and be at peace. By it, good will come to you.
22A ka lamkah olkhueng mah doe laeh, a ol te khaw na thinko khuiah khueh laeh.
22Please receive 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 built up, if you put away unrighteousness far from your tents.
24Pasing te laipi bangla, Ophir te soklong kah lungpang bangla khueh ngawn.
24Lay your treasure in the dust, the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.
25Te vaengah na pasing te tlungthang la, cak te na ki la poeh bitni.
25The Almighty will be your treasure, and precious silver to you.
26Te daengah ni Tlungthang dongah na ngailaem vetih Pathen taengla na maelhmai na dangrhoek bitni.
26For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and will lift up your face to God.
27A taengah na thangthui vaengah nang ol a yaak vetih na olcaeng khaw cung ni.
27You will make your prayer to him, and he will hear you. You will pay your vows.
28Olkhueh te na tuiphih vaengah nang hamla thoo vetih na longpuei ah vangnah loh a tue ni.
28You will also decree a thing, and it will be established to you. Light will shine on your ways.
29A kunyun uh vaengah koevoeinah na thui dae tlahoei mik ni a khang eh.
29When they cast down, you will say, ‘be lifted up.’ He will save the humble person.
30Ommongsitoe pawt khaw loeih vetih na kut kah cimcaihnah loh a loeih sak ni,” a ti.
30He will even deliver him who is not innocent. Yes, he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”
