Job 18
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
1Shuhi Bildad loh a doo tih,
2How long will ye lay snares for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
2“Olthui kah taikhaihnah te me hil nim na khueh ve. Yakming lamtah a hnukah thui sih.
3Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed dull in your sight?
3Balae tih rhamsa bangla nan poek, na mikhmuh ah ka angvawk a?
4Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, shall the earth be forsaken for thee? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?
4A thintoek ah amah hinglu pataeng a baeh ta. Diklai loh a hnoo tih lungpang te a hmuen lamloh a thoeih akhaw nang hut a?
5Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
5Halang rhoek kah vangnah ngawn tah thi tih a hmai te hmaihli bang lam pataeng aa pawh.
6The light shall be dark in his tent, and his lamp over him shall be put out.
6Vangnah khaw a dap khuiah hmuep tih a hmaithoi khaw amah taengah a thih pah.
7The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
7A thahuem kah khokan pataeng caek tih a cilsuep loh amah a voeih.
8For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon the toils.
8A kho loh lawk khuila a tueih tih sahamlong khuila a pongpa sak.
9A gin shall take him by the heel, and a snare shall lay hold on him.
9A khodil te pael loh a tuuk tih amah te kokthah dongah man.
10A noose is hid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
10A rhuihet te diklai dongah a tung tih, a sutaeh te a hawn ah a khueh pah.
11Terrors shall overwhelm him on every side, and shall entrap him at his feet.
11Anih te mueirhih loh a kaepvai ah a let sak tih a kho ah taekyak uh.
12His trouble shall be ravenous, and calamity shall be ready for his fall.
12A boethae ah bungpong la om tih a cungdonah hamla rhainah khaw a sikim pah.
13It shall devour the members of his body, yea, the first-born of death shall devour his members.
13Dueknah caming loh a vin saa a caak pah tih a rhuhrhong a hnom pah.
14That wherein he trusteth shall be plucked out of his tent; and he shall be brought to the king of terrors.
14A pangtungnah a dap lamloh a poh tih mueirhih manghai taengla a luei sak.
15There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his; brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
15Amah kah pawt long khaw anih kah dap ah kho a sak tih, a tolkhoeng te yam a phul thil.
16His roots shall dry up beneath, and above shall his branch wither.
16A yung khui ah koh tih a so duela a pae khaw ngat.
17His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name abroad.
17Anih poekkoepnah te diklai lamloh paltham tih a ming te rhamvoel hmai ah om pawh.
18He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
18Anih te vangnah lamloh a hmuep la a thaek uh tih anih te lunglai lamloh a poeng sak uh.
19He shall have neither son nor son's son among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
19A taengah a ca tal tih a pilnam taengah a cadil om pawh. A lampahnah ah khaw rhaengnaeng om pawh.
20They that come after shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before are affrighted.
20Amah tue vaengah pong tih a hnuk a hmai la hlithae loh a tuuk.
21Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
21He tah boethae kah dungtlungim tih Pathen aka ming pawt kah a hmuen khaw he tlam ni,” a ti nah.
