Job 11
1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
Naamathi Zophar loh a doo tih,
2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
“Ol cungkuem te a doo moenih a? Hlang he a hmuilai ngawn tah tang dae ta.
3 Should your lies make men hold their peace? and when you mock, shall no man make you ashamed?
Na olsai te hlang loh ngam vetih na tamdaeng vaengah a hmaithae mahpawt nim?
4 For you have said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in your eyes.
Te vaengah, “Ka rhingtuknah he cil tih na mikhmuh ah a caih la ka om,” na ti.
5 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against you;
Nang taengah aka thui la Pathen loh unim dawk a paek tih a hmuilai ong koinih.
6 And that he would show you the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.
Lungming cueihnah he rhaepnit a lo dongah cueihnah olhuep te nang taengah a thui pawn ko. Namah kathaesainah lamloh Pathen loh nang n'hnilh te ming.
7 Can you by searching find out God? can you find out the Almighty to perfection?
Pathen kah khenah na hmuh tih Tlungthang kah a khuetnah hil na hmuh a?
Vaan la a sang te metlam na saii eh? Saelkhui lakah a dung te metlam na ming eh? (Sheol h7585)
9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
A himbaidok loh diklai lakah a puet tih tuitunli lakah dangka ngai.
10 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
A hil tih a tlaeng tih a tingtun sak phoeiah tah ulong anih a mael sak.
11 For he knows vain men: he sees wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
Amah loh a poeyoek hlang rhoek khaw a ming ngawn dae boethae a hmuh vaengah yakming pawh.
12 For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass’s colt.
Tedae tuihong hlang loh hloih koinih kohong marhang neh laak te hlang la a sak khaming.
13 If you prepare your heart, and stretch out your hands toward him;
Na lungbuei na cikngae tih a taengla na kut na phuel koinih,
14 If iniquity be in your hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in your tabernacles.
Na kut dongkah boethae te na lakhla tak tih na dap ah dumlai na khueh pawt atah,
15 For then shall you lift up your face without spot; yes, you shall be steadfast, and shall not fear:
A lolhmaih kolla na maelhmai na ludoeng van bitni. Na om vaengah khaw tluektluek na long vetih na rhih om mahpawh.
16 Because you shall forget your misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
Nang ham tah thakthaenah te na hnilh vetih tui aka long voelh bangla na poek bitni.
17 And your age shall be clearer than the noonday: you shall shine forth, you shall be as the morning.
Na khosak khaw khothun lakah sae vetih, a hmuep khaw mincang bangla om ni.
18 And you shall be secure, because there is hope; yes, you shall dig about you, and you shall take your rest in safety.
Ngaiuepnah a om dongah na pangtung vetih ngaikhuek la na too phoeiah na yalh bitni.
19 Also you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid; yes, many shall make suit to you.
Na kol vaengah na lakueng neh na maelhmai muep thae voel mahpawh.
20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
Tedae halang kah mik tah kha vetih thuhaelnah khaw amih lamloh bing ni, a ngaiuepnah khaw hinglu polpainah la om ni,” a ti nah.
