Job 36
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Elihu also proceeded, and said:
1Elihu loh koep a cong tih,
2Suffer me a little, and I will tell thee; for there are yet words on God's behalf.
2“Kamah taengah bet m'bulbo uh lamtah nangmih te olthui khaw Pathen yueng la koep kan thui eh.
3I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
3Ka poeknah he khohla lamloh kam phueih tih duengnah he kai aka saii ham ni ka khueh.
4For truly my words are not false; one that is upright in mind is with thee.
4Ka olthui he a honghi pawt dongah nang taengkah lungming khaw a cuemthuek ham tueng pai.
5Behold, God is mighty, yet He despiseth not any; He is mighty in strength of understanding.
5Pathen tah khuet tih lungbuei thadueng a khuet te a sit moenih ne.
6He preserveth not the life of the wicked; but giveth to the poor their right.
6Halang te hlun pawt tih mangdaeng te tiktamnah la a paek.
7He withdraweth not His eyes from the righteous; but with kings upon the throne He setteth them for ever, and they are exalted.
7A mik te hlangdueng taeng lamloh khap pawt tih manghai rhoek te ngolkhoel dongah a ngol sak. Te phoeiah amih a yoeyah la a thuung tih a sang sak.
8And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;
8Tedae hmaipom neh pin uh tih phacip phabaem rhuihet neh a tuuk uh atah,
9Then He declareth unto them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
9Amih kah bisai neh a boekoeknah dongah a len uh te khaw amih taengah a thui pah.
10He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
10Thuituennah hamla amih hna te a vueh pah tih boethae lamloh mael hamla a thui pah.
11If they hearken and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
11A hnatun uh tih tho a thueng koinih a khohnin then neh thok tih a kum te a naepnoi la boeih.
12But if they hearken not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
12Tedae a hnatun uh pawt atah pumcumnah neh a paan uh vetih mingnah aka tal bangla pal uh ni.
13But they that are godless in heart lay up anger; they cry not for help when He bindeth them.
13Lungbuei lailak rhoek loh thintoek a khueh uh tih amih a khih vaengah pataeng bomnah bih pawh.
14Their soul perisheth in youth, and their life as that of the depraved.
14Amih hinglu te camoe la, a hingnah khaw hlanghalh lakli ah duek.
15He delivereth the afflicted by His affliction, and openeth their ear by tribulation.
15A phacip phabaem vaengah mangdaeng khaw a pumcum sak tih a hna te nennah neh a toeh.
16Yea, He hath allured thee out of distress into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which is set on thy table is full of fatness;
16Rhal ka lamloh hmuenka la nang m'poh. Te lam te mangdaeng mangtok om pawt tih na caboei dongkah mongnah maehhloi ngang.
17And thou art full of the judgment of the wicked; judgment and justice take hold on them.
17Halang kah dumlai khaw na cung sak tih dumlai neh laitloeknah loh m'moep.
18For beware of wrath, lest thou be led away by thy sufficiency; neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside.
18Kosi loh nang te boeinah neh m'vuet ve ne. Te dongah tlansum cungkuem loh nang m'phaelh boel.
19Will thy riches avail, that are without stint, or all the forces of thy strength?
19Rhal khuiah pawt khaw, na bombihnah neh thadueng, thayung boeih loh m'khoembael aya?
20Desire not the night, when peoples are cut off in their place.
20A hmuikah pilnam a khum sak ham khoyin khaw hloem aih boeh.
21Take heed, regard not iniquity; for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
21Ngaithuen, boethae taengla mael boeh. Te te phacip phabaem lakah te na tuek coeng te.
22Behold, God doeth loftily in His power; who is a teacher like Him?
22Pathen tah amah thadueng neh thaphoh uh coeng ke. Amah bangla unim aka saya?
23Who hath enjoined Him His way? Or who hath said: 'Thou hast wrought unrighteousness'?
23Anih ham a longpuei te u long nim a tae pah tih u long nim, 'Dumlai na saii,’ a ti nah.
24Remember that thou magnify His work, whereof men have sung.
24Amah kah bisai na rhoeng sak ham te poek. Te ni hlang rhoek loh a hlai uh.
25All men have looked thereon; man beholdeth it afar off.
25Hlang boeih loh te te a hmuh uh tih hlanghing loh khohla lamkah a paelki.
26Behold, God is great, beyond our knowledge; the number of His years is unsearchable.
26Pathen tah a len dongah a kum tarhing te m'ming uh lek pawt tih khenah lek pawh.
27For He draweth away the drops of water, which distil rain from His vapour;
27Tui dongkah aangpi a yoek tih khotlan te a tuihu lamloh a ciil.
28Which the skies pour down and drop upon the multitudes of men.
28Khomong khaw cip tih hlang soah muep pha.
29Yea, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, the crashings of His pavilion?
29Khomai maiyan neh a dungtlungim kah pang ol a yakming mai ngawn.
30Behold, He spreadeth His light upon it; and He covereth the depths of the sea.
30A vangnah loh a taengah a kah tih tuitunli yung duela a khuk.
31For by these He judgeth the peoples; He giveth food in abundance.
31Te nen te pilnam taengah lai a tloek tih a yet taengah caak a paek.
32He covereth His hands with the lightning, and giveth it a charge that it strike the mark.
32A kut dongkah vangnah loh a khuk tih phek a cuuk ham khaw te te a uen.
33The noise thereof telleth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the storm that cometh up.
33A khohum loh amah kawng te a doek tih boiva pataeng thintoek neh cet.
