< Job 35 >
And Elihu answers and says:
2 Pathen masanga keima hi chonpha kahi tia sei ding hi dih nakisah ham?
“Have you reckoned this for judgment [when] you have said, My righteousness [is] more than God’s?
3 Ijeh inem itile, chonphatna a hinkho aman hi ipi phatchomna kaneijem? Keija dinga phachom ipi um'em? tinjong nasei ji'e.
For you say, What does it profit You? What do I profit from my sin?
4 Ken nadonbut ing ting chuleh naloi nagolho jousen jong na donbut uhen.
I return words, and your friends with you,
5 Van thamjol khu ven lang, chule nachung langa meilhang ho khu ven.
Behold attentively the heavens—and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than you.
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 you have sinned, what do you do against Him? And your transgressions have been multiplied, What do you do to Him?
7 Chonphat bol hile chun ama a dinga thilpeh loupi khat ahidem? Ama chu ipi nape tadem?
If you have been righteous, What do you give to Him? Or what does He receive from your hand?
8 Ahipoi nang chonset chun nangma tobang mihem ho chun adoulel ahin, chule nathilpha bol jong chun mihem mama aphatchom pi sah ahi.
For a man like yourself [is] your wickedness, And for a son of man your righteousness.
9 Mihem techu bol gentheija aum teng ule apeng jah jeng jiuvin, mithahat thaneina noija chun apeng peng jiuve.
Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because 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.
And none said, Where [is] God my Maker? Giving songs in the night,
11 Ganchate sanga hoijo a eisem pau leh chunga leng vachate sanga chingjo a eisem pau chu hoiya umham?
Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Indeed, He makes us wiser than the bird of the heavens.
12 Chule mihemte chu akiletsah jeh uvin aka teng uleh Pathen in adonbut jipoi.
There they cry, and He does not answer, Because of the pride of evildoers.
13 Ahinlah Pathen in ajah peh pouvin hatchungnung pa chun ngaisah in aneipoi tia seiding chu dihlou ahi.
Surely God does not hear vanity, And the Mighty does not behold it.
14 Nangin kamu theipoi tin naseije, ahinlah nanga hat le bou thudih chu hungdoh ding ahi.
Indeed, though you say you do not behold Him, Judgment [is] before Him, and stays for Him.
15 Nangin michonse ho chu lunghang in alethuhpoi natin chule migiloute ngaisah in aneipoi tin naseije.
And now, because there is not, He has appointed His anger, And He has not known in great extremity.
16 Ahinlah Job nangin thu homkeu jeng naseiyin, mingol khat bangin thu naseije.
And Job opens his mouth [with] vanity, He multiplies words without knowledge.”
