< Job 35 >

1 And Elius resumed and said,
Elihu mah,
2 What is this that you think to be according to right? who are you that you have said, I am righteous before the Lord?
hae lok loe toeng, tiah na poek maw? Sithaw pongah ka toeng kue, tiah na poek maw? tiah a naa.
3 I will answer you, and your three friends.
Nang mah, Tih amekhaih maw na hnu tih? Nang mah, Tih atho maw ka hak tih? Zaehaih ka sah ai pongah tih atho maw ka hak tih? tiah na thuih.
4 Look up to the sky and see; and consider the clouds, how high [they are] above you.
Nangmah hoi nam puinawk khaeah lok pathim han ka koeh.
5 If you have sinned, what will you do?
Vannawk ho doeng ah loe, khenah, nang pongah kasang kue tamainawk ho khenah.
6 and if too you have transgressed much, what can you perform?
Na zae nahaeloe, na zaehaih mah kawbangmaw Sithaw raihaih paek? Na zaehaih pop parai nahaeloe, to zaehaih mah Sithaw kawbangmaw amrosak?
7 And suppose you are righteous, what will you give him? or what shall he receive of your hand?
Katoeng kami ah na oh pongah, Anih hanah tih hmuen maw na paek boeh? To tih ai boeh loe na ban hoiah Anih mah tih hmuen maw talawk vai boeh?
8 Your ungodliness [may affect] a man who is like to you; or your righteousness a son of man.
Na sak ih sethaih mah nang baktih kami to raihaih paek; na toenghaih mah loe kami capa han amekhaih ohsak.
9 They that are oppressed of a multitude will be ready to cry out; they will call for help because of the arm of many.
Paroeai pacaekthlaekhaih tongh naah, nihcae mah tahmenhaih hnik o, Thacak Sithaw ih ban pongah nihcae mah abomhaih to hnik o.
10 But none said, Where is God that made me, who appoints the night-watches;
Toe mi mah doeh, Aqum ah laa paekkung, kai sahkung Sithaw loe naa ah maw oh;
11 who makes me to differ from the four-footed beasts of the earth, and from the birds of the sky?
long ih moinawk pong pop kue ah aicae patukkung, van ih tavaanawk pongah aicae palungha kue ah sahkung loe naa ah maw oh? tiah thui o ai.
12 There they shall cry, and none shall listen, even because of the insolence of wicked men.
Kasae kaminawk hoi amoek kaminawk lawkthuihaih lok Sithaw mah pathim pae ai.
13 For the Lord desires not to look on error, for he is the Almighty One.
Sithaw mah avang ai kaminawk tahmenhnikhaih lok to tahngai pae mak ai; Thacak Sithaw mah to baktih loknawk to tiah doeh sah pae mak ai.
14 He beholds them that perform lawless deeds, and he will save me: and do you plead before him, if you can praise him, as it is [possible] even now.
Sithaw ka hnu ai, tiah na thuih cadoeh, anih hmaa ah lokcaekhaih to oh pongah, nang loe anih nuiah amha ah.
15 For he is not [now] regarding his wrath, nor has he noticed severely any trespass.
Vaihi loe palung a phuihaih hoiah dan na paek mak ai; sakpazaehaih to pakuem khruek mak ai boeh, tiah a poek pongah,
16 Yet Job vainly opens his mouth, in ignorance he multiplies words.
Job loe avang ai lok to thuih moe, panoekhaih tawn ai ah pop parai loknawk to a thuih, tiah a naa.
