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 kindred 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 till Job had spoken because they [were] older than he.
5 Hlang pathum ka dongah hlatnah a om pawt te Elihu a hmuh vaengah a thintoek te sai.
When Elihu saw that [there was] no answer in the mouth of [these] three men, then 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 was afraid, and durst not show you my 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 [there is] a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
9 Muep aka cueih neh patong rhoek loh khaw laitloeknah te a yakming uh moenih.
Great men are not [always] wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
10 Te dongah kai taengkah hnatun uh lah ka ti. Kai khaw ka poeknah ka thui van eh.
Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show my 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 gave ear to 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.
Yes, I attended to you, and behold, [there was] none of you that convinced Job, [or] that answered his words:
13 “Cueihnah m'hmuh coeng, anih te hlang pawt tih Pathen loh khoek saeh,” ti uh ve.
Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
14 Olthui neh kai taengah rhong a pai pawt dongah nangmih ol neh anih te ka thuung mahpawh,” a ti nah.
Now 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 were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
16 Koep doo mueh la pai uh tih a cal uh pawt dongah ka lamtawn aya?
When I had waited, (for they spoke not, but stood still, [and] answered no more; )
17 Kai khaw kamah hamsum te ka doo vetih kai khaw kamah kah poeknah te ka thui van ni.
[I said], I will answer also my part, I also will show my opinion.
18 Olthui khaw ka hah tih ka bungko kah mueihla loh kamah n'kilh coeng.
For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
19 Ka bungko he misurtui bangla khui pawt tih tui-um thai bangla ueth.
Behold, my belly [is] as wine [which] hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
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 be refreshed: 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, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles to 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; [in so doing], my Maker would soon take me away.
