Joba 35

Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)

Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)

1Elihu loh koep a doo tih,

1Moreover Eliu spoke these words:

2“'Patheni lakah kamah duengnah ngai,’ na ti te tiktamnah la na poek a te?

2Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say: I am more just than God?

3'Ka tholhnah lamloh nang hamla balae a hmaiben tih balae a hoeikhang,’ na ti.

3For thou saidst: That which is right doth not please thee: or what will it profit thee if I sin?

4Namah neh na taengkah na hui rhoek kah olthui te ka thuung eh.

4Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee.

5Vaan ke paelki lamtah hmu van lah. Nang lakah aka sang khomong ke dan lah.

5Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee.

6Na tholh koinih amah te metlam a ben eh? Na boekoeknah pungtai koinih amah taengah balae a saii eh.

6If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? and if thy iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him?

7Na tang atah amah taengah balae na paek? Na kut lamloh balae a loh?

7And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand?

8Nang bang, na halangnah khaw hlang ham tih na duengnah khaw hlang capa ham ni.

8Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee: and thy justice may help the son of man.

9Hnaemtaeknah cungkuem hmuiah aka tlung bantha lamloh bombih hamla pang uh.

9By reason of the multitude of oppressions they shall cry out: and shall wail for the violence of the arm of tyrants.

10Tedae, “Kai aka saii tih khoyin ah laa aka pae Pathen te ta?

10And he hath not said: Where is God, who made me, who hath given songs in the night?

11Diklai rhamsa lakah mamih n'cang puei tih vaan kah vaa lakah mamih n'cueih sak,’ a ti moenih.

11Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us more than the fowls of the air.

12Pang uh pahoi cakhaw boethae rhoek kah hoemdamnah hmai ah tah a doo moenih.

12There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men.

13Patheni loh a poeyoek la hnatun pawt tih Tlungthang long khaw a hmuhming moenih.

13God therefore will not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into the causes of every one.

14A hmuhming pawt tih na thui vaeng aisat, dumlai pataeng amah mikhmuh ah a pha dongah amah mah rhingda laeh.

14Yea when thou shalt say: He considereth not: be judged before him, and expect him.

15Tedae a thintoek te cawh voel pawt oeh coeng tih halangnah te khaw ming voel pawh.

15For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly.

16Job loh a honghi la a ka a ang tih mingnah om pawt ah a olthui yet,” a ti.

16Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge.
