< Job 11 >

1 Then Zophar, from [the] Naamah [area], said this to Job:
Hichun Naamath mi Zophar chun Job adonbut in,
2 “(Should no one answer all that you have said?/Someone should certainly answer all that you have said.) [RHQ] Just because you talk a lot, (should that cause us to declare that you (are innocent/have done nothing wrong)?/that should not cause us to declare that you (are innocent/have done nothing wrong).) [RHQ]
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 Job, (should your babbling cause us to be silent?/your babbling should certainly not cause us to be silent.) [RHQ] When you make fun of us, shall no one [rebuke you and] cause you to be ashamed?
Nasei sei laijahi kei kamoh umthim jeng ding ham?
4 You say, ‘What I say is true; God knows that I am (innocent/without guilt).’
“Katahsan athenge, chule Pathen mitmun keima kangime,” tin naseije.
5 But I wish/desire that God would talk and say something [MTY] to answer you!
Pathen m among mongin seihen, m among mongin alunggel naseipeh ding hileh,
6 God knows everything about everything, so I wish/desire that he would tell you the secrets that he knows because he is wise. But you need to know that God is punishing you less than you deserve!
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 [“Tell me], will you ever be able to find out the things about God that are very difficult to understand? Will you be able to find out everything that there is to know about Almighty God?
Pathen chihna thutah'a kisel guh chu naholdoh jou ding ham? Hat chungung ahina ho jouse chu naholdoh jou mong ding hinam?
8 [What there is to know about God] is greater than [the distance from earth to] heaven; so there is no way [RHQ] that you can [understand it all]. It is greater than [the distance from here to] the place of the dead; so it is impossible for you [RHQ] to know it all. (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 What there is to know about God is wider than the earth and wider than the ocean.
Hiche hi leiset sangin alenjon, chule twikhanglen sangin alenjoi.
10 “If God comes to you and puts you in prison and then brings you to a court, (who can stop him?/no one can stop him.) [RHQ]
Pathen chu hunga mihem khat songkul'a koihen ahiloule thutanna munna kou taleh ama chu kon apho tang thei ding ham?
11 He knows which people are worthless; and when he sees people doing wicked things, (will he ignore it?/he will certainly not ignore it!) [RHQ]
Ajeh chu aman midihlou ho chu ahet ahin chule achonsetna hou aboncha amelchih ji ahi.
12 Stupid people [like you] will start to become wise [SAR] when wild donkeys [stop giving birth to wild donkeys and] start giving birth to tame donkeys.
Milhoh bei chu hung ching lou ding hicheng jouse chunga chu gamlah sangan in anou ahin thei joh ding ahi.
13 “Job, repent [IDM]; reach out your hands to seek God’s help.
Ijemtia nangma tah in nalung nagel phatna, chule taona'a nakhut tenia amalam nasanna ahileh,
14 If you have done evil things, stop doing them; and do not allow any people in your house to do wicked things.
Pathenin nachonsetna abonna na onthol sah a, chule themmona jouse nanunga nadalhah sah ding ahi.
15 If you do what I have said, surely you will lift up your head because you will not be ashamed; you will be strong, and not afraid [of anything].
Chutengle nolna beija namai hung vahdoh ding ahin hung hatdoh in natin chule gin nanei tahlou ding ahi.
16 You will forget all your troubles; they will be like [the] water [of a flood] that has all disappeared.
Nalung gentheina jouse sumil tan natin, twilong mang tobangbep hiding ahi.
17 [Your troubles will be ended, like the darkness ends] at the dawn; [it will be as though] [MET] the sun is shining brightly on you, like [it shines] at noon.
Nahinkho chu sunlai nisa sangin hung vah hoijon tin, muthim jeng jong jingkah sangin vah hoi jonte.
18 You will feel safe/secure, because you will confidently expect [that good things will happen to you]; God will protect you and enable you to rest safely [each night].
Kinepna nanei chun hansanna napen tin nahuhdoh a chule lhamong tah a nekicholdo ding ahi.
19 You will lie down, and no one will cause you to be afraid. And many people will come and request you to do things for them.
Kichatna neilouvin umen natin chule mitam tah in kithopi noma navet diu ahi.
20 But wicked people [SYN] will not be able to understand [why bad things are happening to them]; they will not have any way to escape [from their troubles]. The only thing that they will want to do is to die. [EUP]”
Ahinla migiloute vang amitnu kisucho a, amahon jamdohna anei lou diu, amaho akinep nau chu thina bou chu hiding ahitai.
