< Job 35 >

1 Hichun Elihun aseijin:
And Elius resumed and said,
2 Pathen masanga keima hi chonpha kahi tia sei ding hi dih nakisah ham?
What is this that thou thinkest to be according to right? who art thou that thou hast said, I am righteous before the Lord?
3 Ijeh inem itile, chonphatna a hinkho aman hi ipi phatchomna kaneijem? Keija dinga phachom ipi um'em? tinjong nasei ji'e.
I will answer thee, and thy three friends.
4 Ken nadonbut ing ting chuleh naloi nagolho jousen jong na donbut uhen.
Look up to the sky and see; and consider the clouds, how high [they are] above thee.
5 Van thamjol khu ven lang, chule nachung langa meilhang ho khu ven.
If thou hast sinned, what wilt thou do?
6 Chonset bol ta le chun Pathen ichan geijin asuna dem? Avel vel in chonse ta le chun ama lungthim ichan gei asukha dem?
and if too thou hast transgressed much, what canst thou perform?
7 Chonphat bol hile chun ama a dinga thilpeh loupi khat ahidem? Ama chu ipi nape tadem?
And suppose thou art righteous, what wilt thou give him? or what shall he receive of thy hand?
8 Ahipoi nang chonset chun nangma tobang mihem ho chun adoulel ahin, chule nathilpha bol jong chun mihem mama aphatchom pi sah ahi.
Thy ungodliness [may affect] a man who is like to thee; or thy righteousness a son of man.
9 Mihem techu bol gentheija aum teng ule apeng jah jeng jiuvin, mithahat thaneina noija chun apeng peng jiuve.
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 Jan laileh la a hin saji pa eisempau Pathen chun hoiya umham ti jeng jong nadong kha pouve.
But none said, Where is God that made me, who appoints the night-watches;
11 Ganchate sanga hoijo a eisem pau leh chunga leng vachate sanga chingjo a eisem pau chu hoiya umham?
who makes me to differ from the four-footed beasts of the earth, and from the birds of the sky?
12 Chule mihemte chu akiletsah jeh uvin aka teng uleh Pathen in adonbut jipoi.
There they shall cry, and none shall hearken, even because of the insolence of wicked men.
13 Ahinlah Pathen in ajah peh pouvin hatchungnung pa chun ngaisah in aneipoi tia seiding chu dihlou ahi.
For the Lord desires not to look on error, for he is the Almighty One.
14 Nangin kamu theipoi tin naseije, ahinlah nanga hat le bou thudih chu hungdoh ding ahi.
He beholds them that perform lawless deeds, and he will save me: and do thou plead before him, if thou canst praise him, as it is [possible] even now.
15 Nangin michonse ho chu lunghang in alethuhpoi natin chule migiloute ngaisah in aneipoi tin naseije.
For he is not [now] regarding his wrath, nor has he noticed severely any trespass.
16 Ahinlah Job nangin thu homkeu jeng naseiyin, mingol khat bangin thu naseije.
Yet Job vainly opens his mouth, in ignorance he multiplies words.
