Job 35
1 Hahoi Elihu ni a pathung e teh,
After this, Eliu again spoke in this way:
2 Heteheh, a lan telah na pouk maw, Cathut lannae hlak ka lan telah na dei maw.
Does it seem right to you in your thoughts, that you should say, “I am more just than God?”
3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka yonnae hah pap boipawiteh, hot teh, nang hanelah bangmaw a hawinae, meknae hoe ka hmu telah na ti.
For you said, “Having done what is right does not please you,” and, “How will it benefit you, if I sin?”
4 Nama koe kaawm e naw hoi na pathung han.
And so, I will respond to your words, and to your friends who are with you.
5 Kalvan lah moung nateh khenhaw! khenhaw! nang hlak hoe ka rasang e tâmainaw hah,
Look up towards heaven and consider; also, think about the sky, which is higher than you.
6 Yonnae na sak pawiteh, ama taranlahoi bangmaw hoe na kuepcing sak, nahoeh pawiteh kâtapoenae hah pap pawiteh, ama hanelah bangmaw na sak,
If you sin, how will it hurt him? And if your iniquities are multiplied, what will you do against him?
7 Tamikalan lah na awm pawiteh, ama hah bangmaw na poe, Nahoeh pawiteh, ama ni na kut dawk hoi bangmaw a hmu.
Furthermore, if you act justly, what will you give him, or what will he receive from your hand?
8 Na hawihoehnae ni nang patetlah kaawm e tami hah a ratet, na lannae ni tami capa buet touh a ratet.
Your impiety may hurt a man who is like you, though your justice may help the son of the man.
9 Hnephnap e a pap kecu dawkvah a hramki awh, athakaawme taminaw e rektapnae kecu dawkvah, kabawpnae a panki hoi a hram awh.
Because of the multitude of false accusers, they will cry out; and they will lament because of the strong arm of the tyrants.
10 Hateiteh, apinihai nâmaw kasakkung Cathut, karum lah la sak han ka poe e hah ao telah dei awh hoeh.
Yet he has not said: “Where is God, who made me, who has given songs in the night,
11 Talai e sarang hlak hai apinimaw na cangkhai awh. Kalvan e tava hlak lung na ang sak awh.
who teaches us in addition to the beasts of the earth, and who educates us along with the birds of the air?”
12 Tamikathoutnaw a kâoup kecu dawk, hawvah a hram awh ei, pathung awh hoeh.
There they will cry, and he will not heed them, because of the arrogance of the wicked.
13 Banghai bang hoeh e lawk hah Cathut ni khoeroe thai mahoeh, Athakasaipounge, ni hai banglahai noutna mahoeh.
Therefore, God does not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into each and every case.
14 Ama teh na hmawt hoeh telah na dei nakunghai, amae hmalah lannae ao teh, ama teh na ring raw na ring han.
And so, when you say, “He does not examine,” be judged before him, but wait for him.
15 Bangkongtetpawiteh, atuvah a lungkhueknae dawk hoi na rek hoeh niteh, pathunae hnonaw pueng hah pâkuem hoeh.
For, at the present time, he does not bring forth his fury, nor does he punish sin exceedingly.
16 Hatdawkvah, Job ni a khuekhaw awm laipalah, a pahni a ang teh, panuenae laipalah lawk a pap sak.
Therefore, Job has opened his mouth in vain and has multiplied words without knowledge.
