Job 35
1 Moreover Elihu answered, and said,
Elihu loh koep a doo tih,
2 What is this thou think in judgment? Who are thou that thou said, I am righteousness before the Lord?
“'Patheni lakah kamah duengnah ngai,’ na ti te tiktamnah la na poek a te?
3 That thou said, What advantage will it be to thee? And, What profit shall I have more than if I had sinned?
'Ka tholhnah lamloh nang hamla balae a hmaiben tih balae a hoeikhang,’ na ti.
4 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
Namah neh na taengkah na hui rhoek kah olthui te ka thuung eh.
5 Look to the heavens, and see. And behold the skies, which are higher than thou.
Vaan ke paelki lamtah hmu van lah. Nang lakah aka sang khomong ke dan lah.
6 If thou have sinned, what do thou effect against him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what do thou to him?
Na tholh koinih amah te metlam a ben eh? Na boekoeknah pungtai koinih amah taengah balae a saii eh.
7 If thou be righteous, what do thou give him? Or what does he receive of thy hand?
Na tang atah amah taengah balae na paek? Na kut lamloh balae a loh?
8 Thy wickedness is a man as thou are, and thy righteousness is a son of man.
Nang bang, na halangnah khaw hlang ham tih na duengnah khaw hlang capa ham ni.
9 Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out. They cry for help because of the arm of the mighty.
Hnaemtaeknah cungkuem hmuiah aka tlung bantha lamloh bombih hamla pang uh.
10 But none says, Where is God my maker who gives songs in the night,
Tedae, “Kai aka saii tih khoyin ah laa aka pae Pathen te ta?
11 who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?
Diklai rhamsa lakah mamih n'cang puei tih vaan kah vaa lakah mamih n'cueih sak,’ a ti moenih.
12 There they cry, but none gives answer, because of the pride of evil men.
Pang uh pahoi cakhaw boethae rhoek kah hoemdamnah hmai ah tah a doo moenih.
13 Surely God will not hear an empty cry, nor will the Almighty regard it.
Patheni loh a poeyoek la hnatun pawt tih Tlungthang long khaw a hmuhming moenih.
14 How much less when thou say thou do not behold him. The case is before him, and thou wait for him!
A hmuhming pawt tih na thui vaeng aisat, dumlai pataeng amah mikhmuh ah a pha dongah amah mah rhingda laeh.
15 But now, because he has not visited in his anger, nor does he greatly regard folly,
Tedae a thintoek te cawh voel pawt oeh coeng tih halangnah te khaw ming voel pawh.
16 so Job opens his mouth in vanity. He multiplies words without knowledge.
Job loh a honghi la a ka a ang tih mingnah om pawt ah a olthui yet,” a ti.
