Job 11
1 Then responded Zophar the Naamathite, and said: —
Naamath tami Zophar ni a pathung e teh,
2 Should, the multitude of words, not be answered? Or should, a man full of talk, be justified?
Hettelae lawk kapap e heh pathung laipalah ao thai han namaw, Lawk moikapap ka dei e pueng ni maw kayonhoehe la o awh han.
3 Shall, thy pratings, cause men to hold their peace? When thou hast mocked, shall there be none to put thee to shame?
Na dei e lawk hrawnghrang ni, tami a roum sak thai han namaw, Tami na panuikhai nah buet touh ni hai yue mahoeh namaw.
4 Since thou hast said, Right is my doctrine, and pure am I in his eyes.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka yuemnae teh a thoung. Na mithmu vah kathoung telah na ti.
5 But, in very deed, oh that GOD would speak, that he would open his lips with thee:
Hateiteh, oe Cathut ni na dei pouh seh, nang kâtaran lahoi pahni ang naseh.
6 That he would declare to thee the secrets of wisdom, for they are double to that which actually is, —Know then that GOD could bring into forgetfulness for thee, a portion of thine iniquity.
Ama ni lungangnae arulawk hah na hmu sak yawkaw han, bangkongtetpawiteh, na lungangnae alet hni touh apap. Hatdawkvah na payonpakai e dawk hoi kayounhnawn lah Cathut ni a sak tie panuek.
7 The hidden depth of GOD canst thou discover? Or, unto the furthest limit of the Almighty, canst thou attain?
Kadungpoung e Cathut e hno hah na pakhingpalang thai na maw, Athakasaipounge coungnae hah na tawng teh koung na hmuthai maw.
8 The heights of the heavens, what canst thou do? Depths deeper than hades, what canst thou know? (Sheol h7585)
Kalvan hlak hai a rasang teh, nang ni bangmaw na sak thai, Phuennaw hlak hai hoe adung teh, nang ni bangmaw na panue. (Sheol h7585)
9 Longer than the earth, is the measure thereof, and broader than the sea.
A bangnuenae teh, talai hlak hai asaw. Tuipui hlak hai hoe akaw.
10 If he sweep on, or shut up, or call together, Who then shall hinder him?
A man teh thongim dawk paung hoi lawkceng hanelah pâkhueng pawiteh, apinimaw ahni teh a rungngang thai han.
11 For, he, knoweth men of falsity, and seeth iniquity, and him that doth not diligently consider.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, huenghai ao a e hah a panue, thoe sak e hai a hmu. Ama ni pouk laipalah maw ao han.
12 But, an empty person, will get sense, when, a wild ass’s colt, is born a man!
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kahrawng e laca patetlah tami a khe torei teh, tamipathu teh a lungang han.
13 If, thou, hast prepared thy heart, and wilt spread forth, unto him, thy hands—
Na lungthin hah kârakueng nateh Cathut koe na kut dâw haw.
14 If, iniquity, be in thy hand, Put it far away, and let there not dwell in thy tents perversity,
Na kut dawk na payonpakai e awm boipawiteh, ahlanae koe tâkhawng haw. Kathoute hah na im dawk awm hanh seh.
15 Surely, then, shalt thou lift up thy face free from blemish, and shalt be established, and not fear.
Hottelah tounnae awm laipalah, na minhmai hah a kamnue han doeh. Kacakcalah na o vaiteh, na taket mahoeh.
16 For, now, shalt thou forget, sorrow, Like waters passed away, shalt thou remember it.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, na rucatnae hah na pahnim vaiteh, poun ka lawng e tui patetlah pahnim hanh.
17 Above high noon, shall rise life’s continuance, Darkness, like a morning, shall appear,
Na hringnae teh kanîthun e hlak hai hoe a ang han, a hmonae hah amom patetlah ao han.
18 And thou shalt he confident, that there is hope, and, when thou hast searched, securely shalt thou lie down;
Karoumcalah na o han, bangkongtetpawiteh, ngaihawinae ao. Na tengpam e hno na sung nakunghai karoumcalah na kâhat han.
19 And shalt rest, with none to put thee in terror, —and many shall entreat thy favour.
Na i vaiteh, apinihai tâsuenae na poe mahoeh, tami moikapap ni nang koe a kâhei awh han.
20 But, the eyes of the lawless, shall fail, —and, place of refuge, shall have vanished from them, and, their hope, be a breathing out of life.
Hateiteh, tamikathoutnaw e mit teh, dawn vaiteh, hlout awh mahoeh. A ngaihawi awh e hringnae teh a sung awh han telah a ti.
