Job 34
1 Furthermore Elihu answered and said,
Elihu ni rekrek a pathung teh,
2 Hear my words, O you wise men; and give ear to me, you that have knowledge.
Nangmouh a lungkaangnaw ka lawk heh thai awh, Nangmouh panuenae katawnnaw, na hnâpakeng awh.
3 For the ear tries words, as the mouth tastes meat.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka kâko ni rawca atuinae a patek e patetlah, hnâ ni lawk hah a tanouk van.
4 Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
Maimouh roeroe ni lannae teh, kârawi awh haw sei. Ahawinae hah bangmaw tie hah maimae thung hoi panuek awh haw sei.
5 For Job has said, I am righteous: and God has taken away my judgment.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Job ni kai teh ka lan, hateiteh, Cathut ni ka lannae a la
6 Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.
Ka lannae e kong dawk ka laithoe han na maw, kâtapoenae ka tawn hoeh nakunghai ka hmâ teh, ka dam thai hoeh e doeh toe, telah a ti.
7 What man is like Job, who drinks up scorning like water?
Panuikhainae hah tui patetlah ka net e, Job patetlah apimaw kaawm.
8 Which goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men.
Payonnae kasaknaw hoi kamyawng e, tamikathoutnaw hoi ka cet e apimaw kaawm.
9 For he has said, It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut koe lunghawi e heh, tami ni banghai hawinae awm hoeh telah ati toe
10 Therefore listen to me you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
Hatdawkvah, panuethainae katawnnaw na thai pouh haw, kathoute ka sak e teh, Cathut hanelah roeroe coung thai hoeh, yonnae ka sak e teh, Athakasaipounge hanelah khoeroe coung thai hoeh.
11 For the work of a man shall he render to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami hah a sak e patetlah ama ni a patho han, tami pueng a tawksak e hoi kamcu lah tawkphu kamcu lah a poe han.
12 Yes, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
Cathut ni kahawihoeh poung lah sak mahoeh, nahoeh pawiteh, Athakasaipounge ni lannae teh, khoeroe kamlang takhai mahoeh.
13 Who has given him a charge over the earth? or who has disposed the whole world?
Apinimaw ama teh talai e thaw a poe, talai van pueng heh apinimaw ama a uk sak.
14 If he set his heart on man, if he gather to himself his spirit and his breath;
Ama ni tami teh a ngainae awm hoeh pawiteh, kai e hringnae kâha hah lat boipawiteh,
15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again to dust.
Takthai pueng reirei a kahma han tami teh vaiphu lah bout a ban han.
16 If now you have understanding, hear this: listen to the voice of my words.
Thaipanueknae na tawn awh pawiteh, Kâlawk pawlawk heh thai awh haw.
17 Shall even he that hates right govern? and will you condemn him that is most just?
Lannae ka hmuhma e ni a uk han namaw, Kalan ni teh athakaawme hah, yon na pen thai namaw.
18 Is it fit to say to a king, You are wicked? and to princes, You are ungodly?
Nang teh banghai cungkeinae na awm hoeh telah, siangpahrang koe dei pouh han.
19 How much less to him that accepts not the persons of princes, nor regards the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.
Hateiteh, ahni ni bawi hai kapeknae tawn hoeh, Tami tangreng hoi roedeng hoi kapeknae ka tawn hoeh e doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, abuemlahoi amae kutsaknaw doeh.
20 In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
Karumsaning tawkkadek a due awh teh, taminaw pueng hah a kâhuet awh teh, koung a kahma awh, tami athakaawme hai tami e kut laipalah be kahmat lah a la pouh.
21 For his eyes are on the ways of man, and he sees all his goings.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a mit teh tami e lamthung dawk ao teh, a khoktakan puenghai be a hmu,
22 There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
Yonnae kasaknaw, amamouh kâhro nahane hmuen awmhoeh, duenae tâhlip hai awm hoeh.
23 For he will not lay on man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut e hmalah lawkceng hane cei hanelah, tami e kong bout pouk hane ama ni panki hoeh.
24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
A kung rek khei ngai laipalah athakaawme taminaw hah koung a tâtueng han, ahnimae hmuen dawk tami alouke o nahanelah ka poe han.
25 Therefore he knows their works, and he overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh ni a sak e pueng hah a panue teh, karum vah ama ni a tâkhawng teh koung a kâbawng.
26 He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
Tami ni a hmu thai e hmuen koe, tamikathoutnaw patetlah a hem awh.
27 Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ama hah a kamlang takhai awh, a lamthung hah pouk raw pouk awh hoeh.
28 So that they cause the cry of the poor to come to him, and he hears the cry of the afflicted.
Hottelah karoedengnaw e lawk hah a hmalah a pha, Bangkongtetpawiteh rektapnaw e lawk hah a ma ni a thai.
29 When he gives quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hides his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:
BAWIPA ni roumnae a poe torei teh, apinimaw rucatnae a poe thai han, a minhmai a hro torei teh, apinimaw a hmu thai han, miphun buet touh taranlahoi thoseh, tami buet touh taranlahoi thoseh,
30 That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
Tamikahawihoeh e ni a uk hoeh nahanlah, telah nahoeh pawiteh, tami pueng koung kaithi payon han.
31 Surely it is meet to be said to God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:
Tami ni Cathut koehoi tounnae ka hmu toe. Kai teh hawihoehnae ka sak mahoeh toe.
32 That which I see not teach you me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
Ka hmu hoeh e hah na cangkhai haw, Payonnae hah ka sakpayon pawiteh, bout ka sak mahoeh toe.
33 Should it be according to your mind? he will recompense it, whether you refuse, or whether you choose; and not I: therefore speak what you know.
Na lawkkamnae na pahnawt dawkvah, na sak e boiboelah na pathung han na maw. Kai ni na hoeh, nang ni roeroe na kârawi han. Hatdawkvah, na panue e hah deih.
34 Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man listen to me.
Panue thainae katawnnaw hoi, ka lawk ka thai e lungkaangnaw ni kai koe vah,
35 Job has spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
Job ni panuenae tawn laipalah lawk hah a dei, a lawk hah lungangnae kaawm hoeh e naw doeh telah a dei awh.
36 My desire is that Job may be tried to the end because of his answers for wicked men.
Oe Job heh a pout totouh tanouknae lah awm yawkaw naseh, bangkongtetpawiteh, lawk pathungnae hah tamikathoutnaw lawk pathungnae patetlah ao.
37 For he adds rebellion to his sin, he claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against God.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a yonnae dawk taranthawnae a thap sin, maimouh koevah, kut tambei teh, Cathut taranlahoi lawk a pap telah a ti.
