Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Moreover Elihu answered,
1Elihu loh koep a doo tih,
2“Hear my words, you wise men. Give ear to me, you who have knowledge.
2Aka cueih rhoek ka ol hnatun uh lamtah aka ming rhoek loh kai taengla hnakaeng uh.
3For the ear tries words, as the palate tastes food.
3Hna loh olthui a nuemnai tih lai loh caak te a ten.
4Let us choose for us that which is right. Let us know among ourselves what is good.
4Tiktamnah te mamih ham coelh uh sih lamtah a then te mamih lakli ah ming uh sih.
5For Job has said, ‘I am righteous, God has taken away my right.
5Job loh,'Ka tang lalah Pathen loh ka tiktamnah a hnawt.
6Notwithstanding my right I am considered a liar. My wound is incurable, though I am without disobedience.’
6Ka tiktamnah khaw ka laithae bang mai la boekoeknah pawt mai ah ka thaltang loh rhawp coeng,’ a ti.
7What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water,
7Tui bangla tamdaengnah aka o Job bang hlang he om nim.
8who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men?
8Boethae aka saii neh rhoihui bangla yiin tih halang hlang rhoek taengah khaw pongpa.
9For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.’
9'Pathen taengah a ngaingaih vaengah hlang hmaiben pawh,’ a ti.
10“Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
10Te dongah thinko aka khueh hlang rhoek loh kai taengah hnatun uh. Halangnah he Pathen lamloh savisava tih Tlungthang he dumlai neh savisava coeng.
11For the work of a man he will give to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
11Hlang kah bisai he amah taengla a thuung tih hlang a caehlong bangla amah loh a hmuh.
12Yes surely, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.
12Pathen tah boe tueng pawt tih Tlungthang loh tiktamnah te a khun sak moenih.
13Who put him in charge of the earth? Or who has appointed him over the whole world?
13Amah loh diklai ah unim a khueh tih lunglai he a pum la u taengah nim a tloeng.
14If he set his heart on himself, if he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath,
14Amah taengkah loh a khueh a lungbuei, a mueihla neh a hiil te amah taengla khoem koinih,
15all flesh would perish together, and man would turn again to dust.
15Pumsa boeih he rhenten pal vetih hlang he laipi la mael ni.
16“If now you have understanding, hear this. Listen to the voice of my words.
16Yakmingnah a om atah he he hnatun lamtah ka olthui ol he hnakaeng lah.
17Should even one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty,
17Tiktamnah aka thiinah aisat loh a ngoldoelh tih aka dueng khuet loh m'boe sak aya?
18who says to a king, ‘Vile!’ or to nobles, ‘Wicked!’?
18Manghai te,'hlang muen,’ hlangcong te 'Halang,’ a ti nah nim?
19He doesn’t respect the persons of princes, nor respect the rich more than the poor, for they all are the work of his hands.
19Amah loh mangpa maelhmai dan pawt tih tattloel maelhmai lakah rhoeikhang kah a hmat tloe moenih. Amih boeih te amah kut dongah kutngo ni.
20In a moment they die, even at midnight. The people are shaken and pass away. The mighty are taken away without a hand.
20Mikhaptok ah a duek dongah pilnam khoyin pathung ah tuen tih khum uh. Kut nen pawt akhaw aka lueng a khoe uh.
21“For his eyes are on the ways of a man. He sees all his goings.
21A mik te hlang kah longpuei dongah a khueh tih a khokan boeih te a hmuh.
22There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
22Boethae aka saii rhoek thuh hamla hmaisuep om pawt tih dueknah hlipkhup khaw a om moenih.
23For he doesn’t need to consider a man further, that he should go before God in judgment.
23Pathen taengkah laitloeknah dongla a pha ham coeng dongah hlang te koep a cae moenih.
24He breaks mighty men in pieces in ways past finding out, and sets others in their place.
24Aka khuet khenah a om pawt ah a phaek tih amih yueng la a tloe a khueh.
25Therefore he takes knowledge of their works. He overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
25Amih kah khoboe te a hmat dongah khoyin ah a maelh tih pop uh.
26He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
26Halang rhoek ham tah hmuh nah hmuen ah amih te kut a paeng thil.
27because they turned away from following him, and wouldn’t pay attention to any of his ways,
27Te dongah ni a hnuk lamloh nong uh tangloeng tih a longpuei boeih te cangbam uh pawh.
28so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him. He heard the cry of the afflicted.
28tattloel kah pangngawlnah te a taengla pawk tih mangdaeng kah pangngawlnah a yaak.
29When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? He is over a nation or a man alike,
29Tedae amah te mong tih ulong a boe sak. Maelhmai a thuh vaengah ulong anih a mae? Tedae namtom so neh hlang khat soah khaw rhenten om ta.
30that the godless man may not reign, that there be no one to ensnare the people.
30Lailak hlang a manghai khaw pilnam ham hlaeh la poeh.
31“For has any said to God, ‘I am guilty, but I will not offend any more.
31Pathen taengah tah,'Ka laikoi pawt khaw ka phueih.
32Teach me that which I don’t see. If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more’?
32Nang kam hmuh pawt ah kai nan thuinuet coeng. Dumlai ka saii mai cakhaw ka koei voel boel eh?,’ a ti nama thui coeng.
33Shall his recompense be as you desire, that you refuse it? For you must choose, and not I. Therefore speak what you know.
33Na hnawt coeng dongah te kah te namah taeng lamloh na thuung aya? Namah loh na coelh coeng, kai long moenih. Te dongah na ming te thui to.
34Men of understanding will tell me, yes, every wise man who hears me:
34Thinko aka khueh hlang rhoek loh kai taengah thui uh lamtah hlang cueih loh kai taengkah he hnatun saeh.
35‘Job speaks without knowledge. His words are without wisdom.’
35Job he mingnah neh cal pawt tih a ol long a cangbam moenih.
36I wish that Job were tried to the end, because of his answering like wicked men.
36A pa nae, boethae hlang kah taikhaih dongah Job loh a yoeyah la loepdak saeh.
37For he adds rebellion to his sin. He claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against God.”
37A tholhnah te mamih laklo ah boekoek neh a koei uh tih kut a paeng dongah Pathen taengah a ol pung,” a ti.
