An isometry $\rho$ of a connected Finsler space $(M, F)$ is called bounded if the function $d(x, \rho(x))$ is bounded on $M$. It is called a Clifford-Wolf translation if the function $d(x, \rho(x))$ is constant on $M$. In this paper, we prove that on a complete connected simply connected Finsler space of non-positive flag curvature, an isometry is bounded if and only if it is a Clifford-Wolf translation. As an application, we prove that a homogeneous Finsler space of negative flag curvature admits a transitive solvable Lie group of isometries.
