< Job 11 >

1 Then Zophar the Naamathite began speaking and said,
Hichun Naamath mi Zophar chun Job adonbut in,
2 “So many words be answered, shouldn't they? Or is a person proved right by doing a lot of talking?
Twilon banga long thucheng hi mikhat beh in adonbut lou ding ham? Thu tamtah kisei hin mi khat chu nolna bei ahi ti aphotchet ding ham?
3 Should all your babbling force people to keep quiet? When you mock, shouldn't someone make you feel ashamed?
Nasei sei laijahi kei kamoh umthim jeng ding ham?
4 You said, ‘What I teach is the pure truth,’ and ‘in God's eyes I am clean.’
“Katahsan athenge, chule Pathen mitmun keima kangime,” tin naseije.
5 If only God would speak up and tell you directly,
Pathen m among mongin seihen, m among mongin alunggel naseipeh ding hileh,
6 because then he would explain to you the secrets of wisdom. True wisdom has many sides to it. God's treatment of you is far better than your guilt deserves.
Ama mong mongin chihna thuguh ho chu naseipeh ding hihen, ajeh chu chihna dihtah chu thumai mai hilou ahi, ngaijin “Pathen in nathemmona sanga lhomjoa nabol genthei joh nahlai ahibouve.”
7 Can you find out the mysteries of God? Can you discover all the wisdom of the Almighty?
Pathen chihna thutah'a kisel guh chu naholdoh jou ding ham? Hat chungung ahina ho jouse chu naholdoh jou mong ding hinam?
8 It is greater than the heavens—what can you do? It is deeper than Sheol—what can you know? (Sheol h7585)
Hiche tobang chihna hetna hi van sanga sangjo ahin chule nang koi nahija hiche hinoimigam sanga jong thuhjo ahi, nangin ipi nahet em? (Sheol h7585)
9 It extends farther than the earth, and wider than the sea.
Hiche hi leiset sangin alenjon, chule twikhanglen sangin alenjoi.
10 If God comes and imprisons someone, or assembles the court for judgment, who can stop him?
Pathen chu hunga mihem khat songkul'a koihen ahiloule thutanna munna kou taleh ama chu kon apho tang thei ding ham?
11 For God knows who are deceivers—when he sees someone sin, he pays attention to it.
Ajeh chu aman midihlou ho chu ahet ahin chule achonsetna hou aboncha amelchih ji ahi.
12 Stupid people will become wise when wild donkeys are born tame!
Milhoh bei chu hung ching lou ding hicheng jouse chunga chu gamlah sangan in anou ahin thei joh ding ahi.
13 But if you repent and spread out your hands to pray to him,
Ijemtia nangma tah in nalung nagel phatna, chule taona'a nakhut tenia amalam nasanna ahileh,
14 if you get rid of your sins and don't let wickedness continue in your life,
Pathenin nachonsetna abonna na onthol sah a, chule themmona jouse nanunga nadalhah sah ding ahi.
15 then you would be able to hold your head high in innocence, you will be firm and unafraid.
Chutengle nolna beija namai hung vahdoh ding ahin hung hatdoh in natin chule gin nanei tahlou ding ahi.
16 You will forget your misery, remembering it only as water under the bridge.
Nalung gentheina jouse sumil tan natin, twilong mang tobangbep hiding ahi.
17 Your life will shine brighter than the noonday sun; even darkness will be like the morning.
Nahinkho chu sunlai nisa sangin hung vah hoijon tin, muthim jeng jong jingkah sangin vah hoi jonte.
18 You will have confidence because there is hope; you will be protected and rest in safety.
Kinepna nanei chun hansanna napen tin nahuhdoh a chule lhamong tah a nekicholdo ding ahi.
19 You will lie down to sleep with no one to frighten you, and many will come asking for your favor.
Kichatna neilouvin umen natin chule mitam tah in kithopi noma navet diu ahi.
20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail, they will not be able to escape, and their only hope is in death.”
Ahinla migiloute vang amitnu kisucho a, amahon jamdohna anei lou diu, amaho akinep nau chu thina bou chu hiding ahitai.
