Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
1Shuhi Bildad loh a doo tih,
2“How long will you speak these things? Shall the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?
2“He he me hil nim na thui ve? Na ka kah ol tah khohli bangla khuet coeng.
3Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?
3Pathen loh tiktamnah he a khun sak tih Tlungthang loh duengnah te a khun sak mai a?
4If your children have sinned against him, he has delivered them into the hand of their disobedience.
4Na ca rhoek te anih taengah a tholh vaengah amih te amamih kah boekoek kut dongla a tueih.
5If you want to seek God diligently, make your supplication to the Almighty.
5Namah loh Pathen te na toem tih Tlungthang te na hloep mak atah,
6If you were pure and upright, surely now he would awaken for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.
6Na cil tih na thuem koinih nang yueng la haenghang vetih na duengnah rhamtlim te n'thuung pataeng pawn ni.
7Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would greatly increase.
7Na tongnah te a yiit om cakhaw na hmailong te muep rhoeng ni.
8“Please inquire of past generations. Find out about the learning of their fathers.
8Lamhma kah cadil taengah dawt laeh lamtah a napa rhoek khenah te soepsoei laeh.
9(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days on earth are a shadow.)
9Mamih loh n'hlaem paek kah long khaw m'ming uh moenih, mamih kah khohnin diklai dongkah mueihlip banghui ni.
10Shall they not teach you, tell you, and utter words out of their heart?
10Amih te na thuinuet pawt tih a, nang taengah a thui vetih amih kah lungbuei lamloh olthui te a khueh eh?
11“Can the papyrus grow up without mire? Can the rushes grow without water?
11Nongtui pawt ah talik thawn tih tui om mueh ah capu rhoeng a?
12While it is yet in its greenness, not cut down, it withers before any other reed.
12Te te a duei pueng ah a hlaek pawt akhaw sulrham boeih hmai ah rhae coeng.
13So are the paths of all who forget God. The hope of the godless man will perish,
13Pathen aka hnilh boeih kah caehlong neh lailak kah ngaiuepnah tah bing tangloeng.
14whose confidence will break apart, whose trust is a spider’s web.
14A uepnah neh a pangtungnah bumba im te khaw bawtboeng.
15He will lean on his house, but it will not stand. He will cling to it, but it will not endure.
15A im dongah hangdang dae pai thai pawh. Te te a kuel dae thoo pawh.
16He is green before the sun. His shoots go out along his garden.
16Anih te khosae li ah thingsup tih a dum ah a dawn sai.
17His roots are wrapped around the rock pile. He sees the place of stones.
17A yung loh lungkuk dongah a ven tih lungto im te a hmuh.
18If he is destroyed from his place, then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have not seen you.’
18Te te a hmuen lamloh a phuk van vaengah, “Nang kam hmu moenih,” anih te a namnah.
19Behold, this is the joy of his way. Out of the earth, others will spring.
19He he a longpuei kah omthennah coeng koinih laipi tloe lamloh a poe uh khaming.
20“Behold, God will not cast away a blameless man, neither will he uphold the evildoers.
20Pathen loh cuemthuek hnawt ngawn pawt tih thaehuet kut te a moem moenih.
21He will still fill your mouth with laughter, your lips with shouting.
21Na ka dongah nueihbu neh na hmui dongah tamlung bae.
22Those who hate you will be clothed with shame. The tent of the wicked will be no more.”
22Na lunguet rhoek loh yahpohnah a bai uh vetih halang kah dap tah om mahpawh,” a ti.
