1Te vaengah Temani hoel Eliphaz loh a doo.
1Then Eliphaz the Themanite answered, and said:
2Te vaengah nang te ol neh n'noemcai saeh, na ngak aya? Tedae olthui te kuemsuem ham unim aka noeng eh?
2If we begin to speak to thee, perhaps thou wilt take it ill, but who can withhold the words he hath conceived?
3Muep na toel tih kut kha rhoek khaw na talong coeng te.
3Behold thou hast taught many, and thou hast strengthened the weary hands:
4Aka paloe rhoek te na olthui loh a thoh tih khuklu aka khun khaw na caang sak.
4Thy words have confirmed them that were staggering, and thou hast strengthened the trembling knees:
5Tedae namah taengla ha loe tih na ngak coeng, namah te m'ben tih na let coeng.
5But now the scourge is come upon thee, and thou faintest: it hath touched thee, and thou art troubled.
6Na hinyahnah, na ueppangnah, na ngaiuepnah, na longpuei kah thincaknah khaw om pawt nim?
6Where is thy fear, thy fortitude, thy patience, and the perfection of thy ways?
7Poek van laeh, ommongsitoe he paltham nim? Aka thuem rhoek te melam a thup?
7Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished being innocent? or when were the just destroyed?
8Ka hmuh vanbangla boethae aka thoe tih aka soem khaw amah long ni thakthaenah a ah.
8On the contrary I have seen those who work iniquity, and sow sorrows, and reap them,
9Pathen kah hiil dongah milh uh tih a thintoek khohli dongah khap uh coeng.
9Perishing by the blast of God, and consumed by the spirit of his wrath.
10Sathueng khaw kawknah neh sathuengca khaw a ol neh om dae sathuengca khaw a no tloong.
10The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the lioness, and the teeth of the whelps of lions are broken:
11Maeh a mueh lamloh sathueng te milh tih sathuengnu ca rhoek khaw pam uh.
11The tiger hath perished for want of prey, and the young lions are scattered abroad.
12Ka taengah ol a huen tih a olduem loh kai hna a lat sak.
12Now there was a word spoken to me in private, and my ears by stealth as it were received the veins of its whisper.
13Hlang he khoyin olphong lamkah pomnah khuiah a ih muelh vaengah.
13In the horror of a vision by night, when deep sleep is wont to hold men,
14birhihnah loh kai m'mah tih thuennah neh ka rhuh boeih a rhih sak.
14Fear seized upon me, and trembling, and all my bones were affrighted:
15Mueihla loh ka maelhmai a pah vaengah ka mul ka saa poenghu.
15And when a spirit passed before me, the hair of my flesh stood up.
16A pai vaengah khaw a mueimae ka hmat moenih. A muei tah ka mikhmuh ah om tih bidip ol a yaak.
16There stood one whose countenance I knew not, an image before my eyes, and I heard the voice as it were of a gentle wind:
17Pathen lakah hlanghing he tang tih anih aka saii lakah ah hlang caihcil ngai a?
17Shall man be justified in comparison of God, or shall a man be more pure than his maker?
18A sal rhoek soah tangnah pawt tih a puencawn te a lolh la a khueh atah,
18Behold they that serve him are not steadfast, and in his angels he found wickedness:
19Laipi neh lai im dongah kho aka sa aisat te bungbo hmai ah a khoengim pop coeng.
19How much more shall they that dwell in houses of clay, who have an earthly foundation, be consumed as with the moth?
20Mincang lamloh hlaem duela a phop te a yoeyah la a milh khaw mingpha pawh.
20From morning till evening they shall be cut down: and because no one understandeth, they shall perish for ever.
21Amih lamkah a a hlangrhuel a phil pah vaengah a duek uh moenih a? Te dongah cueihnah neh a om moenih a?
21And they that shall be left, shall be taken away from them: they shall die, and not in wisdom.
