< Job 8 >

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,
Hichun Shuh mi Bildad in Job chu adonbut e:
2 How long will you say these things, and how long will the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?
Hitia hi itih chan naum nah lai ding ham? Nathusei chu kichat umtah huinung gin abange.
3 Does God give wrong decisions? or is the Ruler of all not upright in his judging?
Pathenin thutah chu aletun ding ham? Hatchungnung pa chun adih chu aletun khah em?
4 If your children have done evil against him, then their punishment is from his hand.
Nachate chun ama douna a chonset anabollu hitei ding ahi, hiijeh a chu ahibep seuva ki engbollu ahi.
5 If you will make search for God with care, and put your request before the Ruler of all;
Ahinlah Pathen koma taova chule Hatchungnung pa lunglhaina naholla ahileh
6 If you are clean and upright; then he will certainly be moved to take up your cause, and will make clear your righteousness by building up your house again.
Chule atheng nahija, lung thengsella nahin leh aman atahbeh a nakai thouva na inchen kipana a nasem phat peh ding ahi.
7 And though your start was small, your end will be very great.
Chule lhomchan kipan jongle chun tamtah'a nachai ding ahi.
8 Put the question now to the past generations, and give attention to what has been searched out by their fathers:
Khang masalai chu dongin lang pule paten ana mudoh sao hug ah ngaiton,
9 (For we are but of yesterday, and have no knowledge, because our days on earth are gone like a shade: )
Ijeh inem itile eiho janhi bepma peng ihiuvin imacha ihepouve. Leisetna ihin nikho u jong nilim cheloi loi tobangbep ahi.
10 Will they not give you teaching, and say words of wisdom to you?
Ahin eiho masanga hunghon nahil uvintin, amahon gollui lai thu nahil diu ahi.
11 Will the river-plant come up in its pride without wet earth? will the grass get tall without water?
Doplah hilouva umping sangtah'a khang theija, doplah hampa chu twibeija khang theijem?
12 When it is still green, without being cut down, it becomes dry and dead before any other plant.
Satlhah phat lou laiya apah jing laijun jong hampa ho sanga gang jon agoplha ji tauve.
13 So is the end of all who do not keep God in mind; and the hope of the evil-doer comes to nothing:
Chutobang chu Pathen sumil te chunga jong chu ji ahin, Pathen neiloute kinepna chu twihu banga mang ji ahi.
14 Whose support is cut off, and whose hope is no stronger than a spider's thread.
Atahsan nao jong patjanga kikhai ahin, amachu maimom panna kingai ahiuve.
15 He is looking to his family for support, but it is not there; he puts his hope in it, but it comes to nothing.
Amahon ahoidoh nadiuvin ainnu atuh un ahinlah dding joupoi, amahon hatuh a tuh ding agot vangun adou jou deh poi.
16 He is full of strength before the sun, and his branches go out over his garden.
Pathen neilou khu nisa noija khangdoh hampa abah ho honsung jamdoh a tobang ahiuve.
17 His roots are twisted round the stones, forcing their way in between them.
Song kise thom lah a ajung kholutna, songho kah a hing ahi.
18 If he is taken away from his place, then it will say, I have not seen you.
Ahinlah akibodoh tengleh anaum khalou bangin te.
19 Such is the joy of his way, and out of the dust another comes up to take his place.
Hichu ahinkho kichaina ahitan, chule amun lo khel dingin adang hung kehdoh tante.
20 Truly, God will not give up him who is without sin, and will not take evil-doers by the hand.
Ahin ven Pathen in milung thengho apaidoh lou ding, migilou dinga jong akhut alhan doh lou ding ahi.
21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.
Aman khatvei kipah tah a nanuisah kitna, chule nane tenia kipathu nasap doh ding ahi.
22 Your haters will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the sinner will not be seen again.
Nangma vetda ho chun jachatna ponsilla akisilluva chule migiloute chenna in chu kisumang ding ahi.
