Job 35
1 Hichun Elihun aseijin:
And Elihu answereth and saith: —
2 Pathen masanga keima hi chonpha kahi tia sei ding hi dih nakisah ham?
This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast 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 thou sayest, 'What doth it profit Thee! What do I profit from my sin?'
4 Ken nadonbut ing ting chuleh naloi nagolho jousen jong na donbut uhen.
I return thee words, and thy friends with thee,
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 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 dost thou against Him? And thy transgressions have been multiplied, What dost thou to Him?
7 Chonphat bol hile chun ama a dinga thilpeh loupi khat ahidem? Ama chu ipi nape tadem?
If thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or what from thy hand doth He receive?
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 thyself [is] thy wickedness, And for a son of man thy 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, Yea, than the fowl of the heavens He maketh us wiser.'
12 Chule mihemte chu akiletsah jeh uvin aka teng uleh Pathen in adonbut jipoi.
There they cry, and He doth not answer, Because of the pride of evil doers.
13 Ahinlah Pathen in ajah peh pouvin hatchungnung pa chun ngaisah in aneipoi tia seiding chu dihlou ahi.
Surely vanity God doth not hear, And the Mighty doth not behold it.
14 Nangin kamu theipoi tin naseije, ahinlah nanga hat le bou thudih chu hungdoh ding ahi.
Yea, though thou sayest thou dost not behold Him, Judgment [is] before Him, and stay 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 hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity.
16 Ahinlah Job nangin thu homkeu jeng naseiyin, mingol khat bangin thu naseije.
And Job [with] vanity doth open his mouth, Without knowledge words he multiplieth.
