Job 35
1 Moreover Elihu answered and said:
Elihu loh koep a doo tih,
2 Thinkest thou this to be thy right, or sayest thou: 'I am righteousness before God',
“'Patheni lakah kamah duengnah ngai,’ na ti te tiktamnah la na poek a te?
3 That thou inquirest: 'What advantage will it be unto 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 give thee answer, and thy companions with thee.
Namah neh na taengkah na hui rhoek kah olthui te ka thuung eh.
5 Look unto 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 hast sinned, what doest thou against Him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto 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 givest thou Him? Or what receiveth He of thy hand?
Na tang atah amah taengah balae na paek? Na kut lamloh balae a loh?
8 Thy wickedness concerneth a man as thou art; and thy righteousness a 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 cry out; they cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.
Hnaemtaeknah cungkuem hmuiah aka tlung bantha lamloh bombih hamla pang uh.
10 But none saith: 'Where is God my Maker, who giveth 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 maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?'
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 giveth 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 vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
Patheni loh a poeyoek la hnatun pawt tih Tlungthang long khaw a hmuhming moenih.
14 Yea, when thou sayest thou canst not see Him — the cause is before Him; therefore wait thou for Him.
A hmuhming pawt tih na thui vaeng aisat, dumlai pataeng amah mikhmuh ah a pha dongah amah mah rhingda laeh.
15 And now, is it for nought that He punished in His anger? And hath He not full knowledge of arrogance?
Tedae a thintoek te cawh voel pawt oeh coeng tih halangnah te khaw ming voel pawh.
16 But Job doth open his mouth in vanity; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
Job loh a honghi la a ka a ang tih mingnah om pawt ah a olthui yet,” a ti.
