Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Then Zophar, the Naamathite, answered,
1Naamathi Zophar loh a doo tih,
2“Shouldn’t the multitude of words be answered? Should a man full of talk be justified?
2“Ol cungkuem te a doo moenih a? Hlang he a hmuilai ngawn tah tang dae ta.
3Should your boastings make men hold their peace? When you mock, will no man make you ashamed?
3Na olsai te hlang loh ngam vetih na tamdaeng vaengah a hmaithae mahpawt nim?
4For you say, ‘My doctrine is pure. I am clean in your eyes.’
4Te vaengah, “Ka rhingtuknah he cil tih na mikhmuh ah a caih la ka om,” na ti.
5But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against you,
5Nang taengah aka thui la Pathen loh unim dawk a paek tih a hmuilai ong koinih.
6that he would show you the secrets of wisdom! For true wisdom has two sides. Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.
6Lungming cueihnah he rhaepnit a lo dongah cueihnah olhuep te nang taengah a thui pawn ko. Namah kathaesainah lamloh Pathen loh nang n'hnilh te ming.
7“Can you fathom the mystery of God? Or can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
7Pathen kah khenah na hmuh tih Tlungthang kah a khuetnah hil na hmuh a?
8They are high as heaven. What can you do? They are deeper than Sheol. What can you know?
8Vaan la a sang te metlam na saii eh? Saelkhui lakah a dung te metlam na ming eh?
9Its measure is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
9A himbaidok loh diklai lakah a puet tih tuitunli lakah dangka ngai.
10If he passes by, or confines, or convenes a court, then who can oppose him?
10A hil tih a tlaeng tih a tingtun sak phoeiah tah ulong anih a mael sak.
11For he knows false men. He sees iniquity also, even though he doesn’t consider it.
11Amah loh a poeyoek hlang rhoek khaw a ming ngawn dae boethae a hmuh vaengah yakming pawh.
12An empty-headed man becomes wise when a man is born as a wild donkey’s colt.
12Tedae tuihong hlang loh hloih koinih kohong marhang neh laak te hlang la a sak khaming.
13“If you set your heart aright, stretch out your hands toward him.
13Na lungbuei na cikngae tih a taengla na kut na phuel koinih,
14If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away. Don’t let unrighteousness dwell in your tents.
14Na kut dongkah boethae te na lakhla tak tih na dap ah dumlai na khueh pawt atah,
15Surely then you will lift up your face without spot. Yes, you will be steadfast, and will not fear,
15A lolhmaih kolla na maelhmai na ludoeng van bitni. Na om vaengah khaw tluektluek na long vetih na rhih om mahpawh.
16for you will forget your misery. You will remember it like waters that have passed away.
16Nang ham tah thakthaenah te na hnilh vetih tui aka long voelh bangla na poek bitni.
17Life will be clearer than the noonday. Though there is darkness, it will be as the morning.
17Na khosak khaw khothun lakah sae vetih, a hmuep khaw mincang bangla om ni.
18You will be secure, because there is hope. Yes, you will search, and will take your rest in safety.
18Ngaiuepnah a om dongah na pangtung vetih ngaikhuek la na too phoeiah na yalh bitni.
19Also you will lie down, and no one will make you afraid. Yes, many will court your favor.
19Na kol vaengah na lakueng neh na maelhmai muep thae voel mahpawh.
20But the eyes of the wicked will fail. They will have no way to flee. Their hope will be the giving up of the spirit.”
20Tedae halang kah mik tah kha vetih thuhaelnah khaw amih lamloh bing ni, a ngaiuepnah khaw hinglu polpainah la om ni,” a ti nah.
