Job 35
1 Hichun Elihun aseijin:
Moreover Elihu answered and said:
2 Pathen masanga keima hi chonpha kahi tia sei ding hi dih nakisah ham?
Thinkest thou this to be thy right, or sayest thou: 'I am righteousness before God',
3 Ijeh inem itile, chonphatna a hinkho aman hi ipi phatchomna kaneijem? Keija dinga phachom ipi um'em? tinjong nasei ji'e.
That thou inquirest: 'What advantage will it be unto Thee?' And: 'What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?'
4 Ken nadonbut ing ting chuleh naloi nagolho jousen jong na donbut uhen.
I will give thee answer, and thy companions with thee.
5 Van thamjol khu ven lang, chule nachung langa meilhang ho khu ven.
Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the skies, which are higher than thou.
6 Chonset bol ta le chun Pathen ichan geijin asuna dem? Avel vel in chonse ta le chun ama lungthim ichan gei asukha dem?
If thou hast sinned, what doest thou against Him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto Him?
7 Chonphat bol hile chun ama a dinga thilpeh loupi khat ahidem? Ama chu ipi nape tadem?
If thou be righteous, what givest thou Him? Or what receiveth He 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 wickedness concerneth a man as thou art; and 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.
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; they cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.
10 Jan laileh la a hin saji pa eisempau Pathen chun hoiya umham ti jeng jong nadong kha pouve.
But none saith: 'Where is God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night;
11 Ganchate sanga hoijo a eisem pau leh chunga leng vachate sanga chingjo a eisem pau chu hoiya umham?
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?'
12 Chule mihemte chu akiletsah jeh uvin aka teng uleh Pathen in adonbut jipoi.
There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
13 Ahinlah Pathen in ajah peh pouvin hatchungnung pa chun ngaisah in aneipoi tia seiding chu dihlou ahi.
Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
14 Nangin kamu theipoi tin naseije, ahinlah nanga hat le bou thudih chu hungdoh ding ahi.
Yea, when thou sayest thou canst not see Him — the cause is before Him; therefore wait thou for Him.
15 Nangin michonse ho chu lunghang in alethuhpoi natin chule migiloute ngaisah in aneipoi tin naseije.
And now, is it for nought that He punished in His anger? And hath He not full knowledge of arrogance?
16 Ahinlah Job nangin thu homkeu jeng naseiyin, mingol khat bangin thu naseije.
But Job doth open his mouth in vanity; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
