Joba 32

1 Amah mikhmuh ah amah te a dueng sak dongah te rhoek hlang pathum Job a doo te kangkuen uh.

So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

2 Te dongah Ram koca kah Buzi Barakel capa Elihu kah a thintoek tah Job taengah sai coeng. Pathen lakah amah hinglu te a tang sak dongah a thintoek khaw sai.

Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

3 Hlatnah hmu uh pawt dae Job te a boe sak uh dongah anih kah thintoek khaw a hui pathum taengah sai van.

Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

4 Amih boeih khuiah Elihu tah a kum la a ham dongah Job te ol neh a rhing.

Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were older than he.

5 Hlang pathum ka dongah hlatnah a om pawt te Elihu a hmuh vaengah a thintoek te sai.

And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.

6 Te dongah Buzi Barakel capa Elihu loh a doo tih, “Kai he a kum la ka noe tih nangmih tah na ham. Te dongah ka kawl uh tih nangmih taengah kamah kah poeknah thui ham khaw ka rhih.

And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said: I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I held back, and durst not declare you mine opinion.

7 Cueihnah he a khohnin nen khaw a thui uh vetih kum a yet a tukkil uh mako ka ti.

I said: 'Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.'

8 Mueihla he hlanghing ah om dae Tlungthang hiil long ni amih a yakming sak.

But it is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty, that giveth them understanding.

9 Muep aka cueih neh patong rhoek loh khaw laitloeknah te a yakming uh moenih.

It is not the great that are wise, nor the aged that discern judgment.

10 Te dongah kai taengkah hnatun uh lah ka ti. Kai khaw ka poeknah ka thui van eh.

Therefore I say: 'Hearken to me; I also will declare mine opinion.'

11 Nangmih ol te ka lamtawn ne. Olthui na khe uh vaengah nangmih kah lungcuei te hna ka kaeng thil.

Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.

12 Nangmih khaw kan yakming vaengah Job taengkah a tluung ol te aka doo na om uh moenih he.

Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none that convinced Job, or that answered his words, among you.

13 “Cueihnah m'hmuh coeng, anih te hlang pawt tih Pathen loh khoek saeh,” ti uh ve.

Beware lest ye say: 'We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man!'

14 Olthui neh kai taengah rhong a pai pawt dongah nangmih ol neh anih te ka thuung mahpawh,” a ti nah.

For he hath not directed his words against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches.

15 Amih lamkah ol khaw vawt uh tih, a rhihyawp uh dongah koep doo uh pawh.

They are amazed, they answer no more; words are departed from them.

16 Koep doo mueh la pai uh tih a cal uh pawt dongah ka lamtawn aya?

And shall I wait, because they speak not, because they stand still, and answer no more?

17 Kai khaw kamah hamsum te ka doo vetih kai khaw kamah kah poeknah te ka thui van ni.

I also will answer my part, I also will declare mine opinion.

18 Olthui khaw ka hah tih ka bungko kah mueihla loh kamah n'kilh coeng.

For I am full of words; the spirit within me constraineth me.

19 Ka bungko he misurtui bangla khui pawt tih tui-um thai bangla ueth.

Behold, mine inwards are as wine which hath no vent; like new wine-skins which are ready to burst.

20 Ka thui daengah ni kai ham a hoengpoek eh. Ka hmuilai ka ong vetih ka doo pueng ni.

I will speak, that I may find relief; I will open my lips and answer.

21 Hlang maelhmai te ka dan tarha pawt vetih hlang te ka hlae tarha mahpawh.

Let me not, I pray you, respect any man's person; neither will I give flattering titles unto any man.

22 Hlang hlae ham khaw ka ming moenih, kai aka saii loh kai he phawn n'khoe lah ve.

For I know not to give flattering titles; else would my Maker soon take me away.
