Job 18
1 Shuhi tami Bildad ni a pathung teh,
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2 Nâsittouh maw pout laipalah, lawk heh na tawng han, thaipanueknae tawn awh, hahoi lawk na dei pouh han.
How long [will it be ere] ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
3 Bang kecu dawk maw moithang patetlah touksin lah o awh teh, nangmae mithmu vah tamipathu patetlah ka kâpouk.
Wherefore are we counted as beasts, [and] reputed vile in your sight?
4 Lungkhueknae hoi namahoima na kâraphoe. Nang hanelah talai heh ceitakhai lah ao han maw, Hoeh pawiteh, lungsong heh aonae koehoi puen lah ao han maw.
He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
5 Tamikathoutnaw e angnae teh roup padue pouh lah ao teh, a hmaiang hai ang hoeh.
Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
6 Rim e angnae hah a hmo teh, ateng e hmaiim teh padue e lah ao.
The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
7 A khoksampha a thaonae hah duem sak la ao teh, amae khokhangnae ni a tâkhawng han.
The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
8 A khok ni tamlawk dawk a kâman sak teh, karap thung vah a cei sak.
For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
9 A khoksampha dawk tamlawk a man teh, ama hah karap dawk a bo.
The gin shall take [him] by the heel, [and] the robber shall prevail against him.
10 Ama hanelah karap hah talai dawk hro e la ao teh, lamthung dawk ama hane karap a patung.
The snare [is] laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
11 Avoivang hoi takikatho e ni a pakhi teh, a hnuk lahoi a pâlei.
Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
12 A thaonae hah a thayoun toung dawkvah, atengpam vah rawkphainae coungkacoe lah ao.
His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction [shall be] ready at his side.
13 Hote runae ni a vuen hah a ca pouh teh, duenae camin ni a kutkhok hah a ca pouh.
It shall devour the strength of his skin: [even] the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
14 A kângue e rim hoi ahni teh takhoe lah ao teh, takikatho pounge siangpahrang hmalah tâcokhai e lah ao.
His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
15 A tami hoeh e hah rim dawk kho a sak awh teh, kho a saknae dawk gan a phuen pouh awh.
It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because [it is] none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
16 A rahim e a tangpha hah koung a ke teh, a lathueng lae akangnaw teh a kamyai.
His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
17 Ama pahnim thai hoeh nahanlah talai dawk hoi a kahma teh, a min kamthangnaw e um vah a min awm hoeh.
His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
18 Ahni teh angnae koehoi hmonae dawkvah a hrek teh, talai dawk hoi pâlei e lah ao.
He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
19 A taminaw thung dawk hoi a capa hoi a na mincanaw tawn hoeh. Hoeh pawiteh, a khosaknae dawkvah a imthung buet touh hai cawi mahoeh.
He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
20 Ahnie tueng nah kaawm e taminaw ni a taki awh e patetlah, ahni hnukkhu kaawm e naw ni hai ahni kecu a kângai a ru awh han.
They that come after [him] shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
21 Tamikathoutnaw khosaknae koe teh, hot patetlah ao han. Hetheteh Cathut ka panuek hoeh naw a onae hmuen doeh telah a ti.
Surely such [are] the dwellings of the wicked, and this [is] the place [of him that] knoweth not God.
