Job 4
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
Te vaengah Temani hoel Eliphaz loh a doo.
2 If we try to speak with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can restrain from speaking?
Te vaengah nang te ol neh n'noemcai saeh, na ngak aya? Tedae olthui te kuemsuem ham unim aka noeng eh?
3 Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.
Muep na toel tih kut kha rhoek khaw na talong coeng te.
4 Thy words have upheld him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.
Aka paloe rhoek te na olthui loh a thoh tih khuklu aka khun khaw na caang sak.
5 But now it hath come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
Tedae namah taengla ha loe tih na ngak coeng, namah te m'ben tih na let coeng.
6 Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?
Na hinyahnah, na ueppangnah, na ngaiuepnah, na longpuei kah thincaknah khaw om pawt nim?
7 Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
Poek van laeh, ommongsitoe he paltham nim? Aka thuem rhoek te melam a thup?
8 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
Ka hmuh vanbangla boethae aka thoe tih aka soem khaw amah long ni thakthaenah a ah.
9 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
Pathen kah hiil dongah milh uh tih a thintoek khohli dongah khap uh coeng.
10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
Sathueng khaw kawknah neh sathuengca khaw a ol neh om dae sathuengca khaw a no tloong.
11 The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion’s whelps are scattered abroad.
Maeh a mueh lamloh sathueng te milh tih sathuengnu ca rhoek khaw pam uh.
12 Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and my ear received a whisper of it.
Ka taengah ol a huen tih a olduem loh kai hna a lat sak.
13 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,
Hlang he khoyin olphong lamkah pomnah khuiah a ih muelh vaengah.
14 Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
birhihnah loh kai m'mah tih thuennah neh ka rhuh boeih a rhih sak.
15 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
Mueihla loh ka maelhmai a pah vaengah ka mul ka saa poenghu.
16 It stood still, but I could not discern its form: an image was before my eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,
A pai vaengah khaw a mueimae ka hmat moenih. A muei tah ka mikhmuh ah om tih bidip ol a yaak.
17 Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
Pathen lakah hlanghing he tang tih anih aka saii lakah ah hlang caihcil ngai a?
18 Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:
A sal rhoek soah tangnah pawt tih a puencawn te a lolh la a khueh atah,
19 How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth?
Laipi neh lai im dongah kho aka sa aisat te bungbo hmai ah a khoengim pop coeng.
20 They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.
Mincang lamloh hlaem duela a phop te a yoeyah la a milh khaw mingpha pawh.
21 Doth not their excellency which is in them depart? they die, even without wisdom.
Amih lamkah a a hlangrhuel a phil pah vaengah a duek uh moenih a? Te dongah cueihnah neh a om moenih a?
