Job 35
1 Moreover Eliu spoke these words:
Elihu loh koep a doo tih,
2 Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say: I am more just than God?
“'Patheni lakah kamah duengnah ngai,’ na ti te tiktamnah la na poek a te?
3 For thou saidst: That which is right doth not please thee: or what will it profit thee if I sin?
'Ka tholhnah lamloh nang hamla balae a hmaiben tih balae a hoeikhang,’ na ti.
4 Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee.
Namah neh na taengkah na hui rhoek kah olthui te ka thuung eh.
5 Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee.
Vaan ke paelki lamtah hmu van lah. Nang lakah aka sang khomong ke dan lah.
6 If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? and if thy iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him?
Na tholh koinih amah te metlam a ben eh? Na boekoeknah pungtai koinih amah taengah balae a saii eh.
7 And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand?
Na tang atah amah taengah balae na paek? Na kut lamloh balae a loh?
8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee: and thy justice may help the son of man.
Nang bang, na halangnah khaw hlang ham tih na duengnah khaw hlang capa ham ni.
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they shall cry out: and shall wail for the violence of the arm of tyrants.
Hnaemtaeknah cungkuem hmuiah aka tlung bantha lamloh bombih hamla pang uh.
10 And he hath not said: Where is God, who made me, who hath given songs in the night?
Tedae, “Kai aka saii tih khoyin ah laa aka pae Pathen te ta?
11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us more than the fowls of the air.
Diklai rhamsa lakah mamih n'cang puei tih vaan kah vaa lakah mamih n'cueih sak,’ a ti moenih.
12 There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men.
Pang uh pahoi cakhaw boethae rhoek kah hoemdamnah hmai ah tah a doo moenih.
13 God therefore will not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into the causes of every one.
Patheni loh a poeyoek la hnatun pawt tih Tlungthang long khaw a hmuhming moenih.
14 Yea when thou shalt say: He considereth not: be judged before him, and expect him.
A hmuhming pawt tih na thui vaeng aisat, dumlai pataeng amah mikhmuh ah a pha dongah amah mah rhingda laeh.
15 For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly.
Tedae a thintoek te cawh voel pawt oeh coeng tih halangnah te khaw ming voel pawh.
16 Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge.
Job loh a honghi la a ka a ang tih mingnah om pawt ah a olthui yet,” a ti.
