Job 15
1 Then Eliphaz the Thaemanite answered and said,
Te phoeiah Temani Eliphaz loh a doo.
2 Will a wise man give for answer a [mere] breath of wisdom? and does he fill up the pain of his belly,
Te vaengah, “Aka cueih loh khohli mingnah neh a doo vetih a bung ah kanghawn a hah sak aya?
3 reasoning with improper sayings, and with words wherein is no profit?
A taengah hmaiben pawt tih a hoeikhang pawh olthui te ol neh a tluung aya?
4 Hast not you moreover cast off fear, and accomplished such words before the Lord?
Nang aisat, hinyahnah na muei sak tih Pathen mikhmuh kah thuepnah khaw na bim.
5 You are guilty by the words of your mouth, neither have you discerned the words of the mighty.
Na ka loh namah kathaesainah a cang tih thaai ol na coelh.
6 Let your own mouth, and not me, reprove you: and your lips shall testify against you.
Na ka loh nang m'boe sak tih kai long moenih. Na hmuilai long ni namah te n'doo.
7 What! are you the first man that was born? or were you established before the hills?
Hlang lamhma la n'sak tih som a om hlan lamloh n'yom coeng a?
8 Or have you heard the ordinance of the Lord? or has God used you as [his] counsellor? and has wisdom come [only] to you?
Pathen kah baecenol te na yaak tih namah hamla cueihnah na buem a?
9 For what know you, that, we know not? or what understand you, which we do not also?
Ka ming uh pawt te metlam na ming tih kaimih taengah amah a om pawt khaw na yakming?
10 Truly among us [are] both the old and very aged man, more advanced in days than your father.
Sampok khaw, mamih taengkah patong khaw na pa lakah a khohnin khuet coeng ta.
11 You have been scourged for [but] few of your sins: you have spoken haughtily [and] extravagantly.
Pathen loh hloephloeinah neh na taengah dikdik a cal ol nang hamla vawt a?
12 What has your heart dared? or what have your eyes [aimed at],
Balae tih na lungbuei na a khuen? Balae tih na mik loh a mikmuelh?
13 that you have vented [your] rage before the Lord, and delivered such words from [your] mouth?
Na thintoek te Pathen taengla na hooi tih na ka lamloh ol na tha.
14 For who, being a mortal, [is such] that he shall be blameless? or, [who that is] born of a woman, that he should be just?
Huta kah a sak te mebang hlanghing nim aka cim tih aka tang te?
15 Forasmuch as he trusts not his saints; and the heaven is not pure before him.
A hlangcim khuikah a hlangcim koek pataeng tangnah pawt tih vaan pataeng amah mikhmuh ah a cil moenih.
16 Alas then, abominable and unclean is man, drinking unrighteousness as a draught.
Tui bangla dumlai aka mam hlang, a tueilaeh neh a rhonging aisat a.
17 But I will tell you, listen to me; I will tell you now what I have seen;
Nang taengah kan thui eh kai ol he hnatun dae. Ka hmuh te kan tae eh.
18 things wise men say, and their fathers have not hidden.
Te te hlangcueih rhoek loh a thui uh tih a napa rhoek taeng lamloh a phah uh moenih.
19 To them alone the earth was given, and no stranger came upon them.
Amih te amamih bueng ham khohmuen a paek vaengah amih lakli ah kholong a nuen sak moenih.
20 All the life of the ungodly [is spent] in care, and the years granted to the oppressor are numbered.
Halang tah hnin takuem amah kilkul tih hlanghaeng ham a kum tarhing la khoem uh.
21 And his terror is in his ears: just when he seems to be at peace, his overthrow will come.
Ngaimongnah khuiah pataeng anih aka rhoelrhak ham a hna ah birhihnah ol a pawk pah.
22 Let him not trust that he shall return from darkness, for he has been already made over to the power of the sword.
Hmaisuep lamloh mael ham tangnah pawt tih rhaltawt long khaw amah cunghang te dongah tawt uh.
23 And he has been appointed to be food for vultures; and he knows within himself that he is doomed to be a carcass: and a dark day shall carry him away as with a whirlwind.
Buh hamla amah poeng tih a kut ah hmaisuep khohnin bangla a tawn te metlam a ming eh?
24 Distress also and anguish shall come upon him: he shall fall as a captain in the first rank.
Anih te rhal loh a let sak tih caem dongah a coekcoe la aka om manghai bangla khobing loh anih te a khulae.
25 For he has lifted his hands against the Lord, and he has hardened his neck against the Almighty Lord.
Pathen taengah a kut a thueng tih Tlungthang taengah phuel uh.
26 And he has run against him with insolence, on the thickness of the back of his shield.
A rhawn kah uen a thah la a taengah a photling a yong puei.
27 For he has covered his face with his fat, and made layers of fat upon his thighs.
A maelhmai te a tha neh a khuk tih a uen duela bungkawt laep.
28 And let him lodge in desolate cities, and enter into houses without inhabitant: and what they have prepared, others shall carry away.
Tedae khopuei khosa khaw a im ding te lungkuk la a phaek uh tih a khuiah khosa uh pawh.
29 Neither shall he at all grow rich, nor shall his substance remain: he shall not cast a shadow upon the earth.
Boei pawt vetih a thadueng khaw pai mahpawh. Amih kah khohrhang loh diklai ah pungtai mahpawh.
30 Neither shall he in any wise escape the darkness: let the wind blast his blossom, and let his flower fall off.
Hmaisuep lamloh nong thai mahpawh. A dawn te hmairhong loh a hae vetih a ka dongkah yilh loh a khoe ni.
31 Let him not think that he shall endure; for his end shall be vanity.
A poeyoek dongah tangnah boel saeh lamtah a poeyoek dongah khohmang boel saeh. A hnothung khaw a poeyoek lamni a om eh.
32 His harvest shall perish before the time, and his branch shall not flourish.
A khohnin loh cup pawt vetih a rhophoe khaw hing mahpawh.
33 And let him be gathered as the unripe grape before the time, and let him fall as the blossom of the olive.
Misur a thaihkang bangla hul vetih olive rhaipai bangla rhul ni.
34 For death is the witness of an ungodly man, and fire shall burn the houses of them that receive gifts.
Lailak kah hlangboel tah pumhong la om vetih kapbaih kah dap tah hmai loh a hlawp ni.
35 And he shall conceive sorrows, and his end shall be vanity, and his belly shall bear deceit.
thakthaenah la vawn tih boethae a sak. A bungko khaw hlangthai palat cuen,” a ti nah.
