Joba 35
1 Elihu loh koep a doo tih,
And Elius resumed and said,
2 “'Patheni lakah kamah duengnah ngai,’ na ti te tiktamnah la na poek a te?
What is this that you think to be according to right? who are you that you have said, I am righteous before the Lord?
3 'Ka tholhnah lamloh nang hamla balae a hmaiben tih balae a hoeikhang,’ na ti.
I will answer you, and your three friends.
4 Namah neh na taengkah na hui rhoek kah olthui te ka thuung eh.
Look up to the sky and see; and consider the clouds, how high [they are] above you.
5 Vaan ke paelki lamtah hmu van lah. Nang lakah aka sang khomong ke dan lah.
If you have sinned, what will you do?
6 Na tholh koinih amah te metlam a ben eh? Na boekoeknah pungtai koinih amah taengah balae a saii eh.
and if too you have transgressed much, what can you perform?
7 Na tang atah amah taengah balae na paek? Na kut lamloh balae a loh?
And suppose you are righteous, what will you give him? or what shall he receive of your hand?
8 Nang bang, na halangnah khaw hlang ham tih na duengnah khaw hlang capa ham ni.
Your ungodliness [may affect] a man who is like to you; or your righteousness a son of man.
9 Hnaemtaeknah cungkuem hmuiah aka tlung bantha lamloh bombih hamla pang uh.
They that are oppressed of a multitude will be ready to cry out; they will call for help because of the arm of many.
10 Tedae, “Kai aka saii tih khoyin ah laa aka pae Pathen te ta?
But none said, Where is God that made me, who appoints the night-watches;
11 Diklai rhamsa lakah mamih n'cang puei tih vaan kah vaa lakah mamih n'cueih sak,’ a ti moenih.
who makes me to differ from the four-footed beasts of the earth, and from the birds of the sky?
12 Pang uh pahoi cakhaw boethae rhoek kah hoemdamnah hmai ah tah a doo moenih.
There they shall cry, and none shall listen, even because of the insolence of wicked men.
13 Patheni loh a poeyoek la hnatun pawt tih Tlungthang long khaw a hmuhming moenih.
For the Lord desires not to look on error, for he is the Almighty One.
14 A hmuhming pawt tih na thui vaeng aisat, dumlai pataeng amah mikhmuh ah a pha dongah amah mah rhingda laeh.
He beholds them that perform lawless deeds, and he will save me: and do you plead before him, if you can praise him, as it is [possible] even now.
15 Tedae a thintoek te cawh voel pawt oeh coeng tih halangnah te khaw ming voel pawh.
For he is not [now] regarding his wrath, nor has he noticed severely any trespass.
16 Job loh a honghi la a ka a ang tih mingnah om pawt ah a olthui yet,” a ti.
Yet Job vainly opens his mouth, in ignorance he multiplies words.
