Job 35
1 Then Elihu continued, saying,
Hichun Elihun aseijin:
2 “Do you think it's honest to claim you are right before God?
Pathen masanga keima hi chonpha kahi tia sei ding hi dih nakisah ham?
3 And you ask, ‘What benefit do I get? What good has it done me by not sinning?’
Ijeh inem itile, chonphatna a hinkho aman hi ipi phatchomna kaneijem? Keija dinga phachom ipi um'em? tinjong nasei ji'e.
4 I'll tell you, and your friends too!
Ken nadonbut ing ting chuleh naloi nagolho jousen jong na donbut uhen.
5 Just look up at the sky and see. Observe the clouds high above you.
Van thamjol khu ven lang, chule nachung langa meilhang ho khu ven.
6 If you sin, how does that harm God? How do your many sins affect God?
Chonset bol ta le chun Pathen ichan geijin asuna dem? Avel vel in chonse ta le chun ama lungthim ichan gei asukha dem?
7 If you do what's right, what good are you doing for him?
Chonphat bol hile chun ama a dinga thilpeh loupi khat ahidem? Ama chu ipi nape tadem?
8 No—your sins only affect people like yourself, and whatever good you do only affects them too.
Ahipoi nang chonset chun nangma tobang mihem ho chun adoulel ahin, chule nathilpha bol jong chun mihem mama aphatchom pi sah ahi.
9 People cry out because of terrible persecution; they call for someone to save them from their oppressors.
Mihem techu bol gentheija aum teng ule apeng jah jeng jiuvin, mithahat thaneina noija chun apeng peng jiuve.
10 But no one asks, ‘Where is the God my maker, the one who gives songs in the night,
Jan laileh la a hin saji pa eisempau Pathen chun hoiya umham ti jeng jong nadong kha pouve.
11 who teaches us more than the animals, and makes us wiser than the birds?’
Ganchate sanga hoijo a eisem pau leh chunga leng vachate sanga chingjo a eisem pau chu hoiya umham?
12 When they call out for help, God doesn't answer because they are proud and evil people.
Chule mihemte chu akiletsah jeh uvin aka teng uleh Pathen in adonbut jipoi.
13 God doesn't listen to their empty cries; the Almighty doesn't pay them any attention.
Ahinlah Pathen in ajah peh pouvin hatchungnung pa chun ngaisah in aneipoi tia seiding chu dihlou ahi.
14 How much less will God hear you when you say he can't see you? Your case is before him, so you have to wait for him.
Nangin kamu theipoi tin naseije, ahinlah nanga hat le bou thudih chu hungdoh ding ahi.
15 You're saying that God doesn't punish people in his anger and pays little attention to sin.
Nangin michonse ho chu lunghang in alethuhpoi natin chule migiloute ngaisah in aneipoi tin naseije.
16 You, Job, are talking nonsense, making long speeches when you know nothing!”
Ahinlah Job nangin thu homkeu jeng naseiyin, mingol khat bangin thu naseije.
