Job 35
1 Hahoi Elihu ni a pathung e teh,
ELIHU spake moreover, and said,
2 Heteheh, a lan telah na pouk maw, Cathut lannae hlak ka lan telah na dei maw.
Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s?
3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka yonnae hah pap boipawiteh, hot teh, nang hanelah bangmaw a hawinae, meknae hoe ka hmu telah na ti.
For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?
4 Nama koe kaawm e naw hoi na pathung han.
I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
5 Kalvan lah moung nateh khenhaw! khenhaw! nang hlak hoe ka rasang e tâmainaw hah,
Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.
6 Yonnae na sak pawiteh, ama taranlahoi bangmaw hoe na kuepcing sak, nahoeh pawiteh kâtapoenae hah pap pawiteh, ama hanelah bangmaw na sak,
If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
7 Tamikalan lah na awm pawiteh, ama hah bangmaw na poe, Nahoeh pawiteh, ama ni na kut dawk hoi bangmaw a hmu.
If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
8 Na hawihoehnae ni nang patetlah kaawm e tami hah a ratet, na lannae ni tami capa buet touh a ratet.
Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
9 Hnephnap e a pap kecu dawkvah a hramki awh, athakaawme taminaw e rektapnae kecu dawkvah, kabawpnae a panki hoi a hram awh.
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
10 Hateiteh, apinihai nâmaw kasakkung Cathut, karum lah la sak han ka poe e hah ao telah dei awh hoeh.
But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;
11 Talai e sarang hlak hai apinimaw na cangkhai awh. Kalvan e tava hlak lung na ang sak awh.
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
12 Tamikathoutnaw a kâoup kecu dawk, hawvah a hram awh ei, pathung awh hoeh.
There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
13 Banghai bang hoeh e lawk hah Cathut ni khoeroe thai mahoeh, Athakasaipounge, ni hai banglahai noutna mahoeh.
Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
14 Ama teh na hmawt hoeh telah na dei nakunghai, amae hmalah lannae ao teh, ama teh na ring raw na ring han.
Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
15 Bangkongtetpawiteh, atuvah a lungkhueknae dawk hoi na rek hoeh niteh, pathunae hnonaw pueng hah pâkuem hoeh.
But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
16 Hatdawkvah, Job ni a khuekhaw awm laipalah, a pahni a ang teh, panuenae laipalah lawk a pap sak.
Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
