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