Job 36
1 Elihu also proceeded, and said,
Elihu ni hettelah bout a dei,
2 Suffer me a little, and I will show you that I have yet to speak on God’s behalf.
Na ngaithoum awh ei, na hmusak awh han rah. Cathut yueng lah lawk dei hane ka tawn rah.
3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
Ka panuenae hah ahlanae koe e ka la han rah, lannae hah kasakkung koe kamnue sak han.
4 For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with you.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka lawknaw heh ayawmyin lah khoeroe ao hoeh dawkvah, panuenae kuep katawnkung teh nang koe ao.
5 Behold, God is mighty, and despises not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
Khenhaw! Cathut teh a thasai eiteh, apihai dudam hoeh. Ama teh athao teh thonae thaipanueknae hoi a kawi
6 He preserves not the life of the wicked: but gives right to the poor.
Tamikathoutnaw hah pâhlung hoeh. Hateiteh, hnephnap e naw hah lannae a poe.
7 He withdraws not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yes, he does establish them for ever, and they are exalted.
Tamikalan teh khen laipalah awm hoeh, hateiteh, siangpahrang hah bawitungkhung dawk yungyoe hanelah a tahung sak teh, ahnimouh teh tawmrasang e lah ao awh.
8 And if they be bound in fetters, and be held in cords of affliction;
Puenghoi kacaklah katek e lah o awh teh, rucat khangnae rui hoi katek e lah awm boipawiteh,
9 Then he shows them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
Kâtapoenae hoi a sak e hah lungpata lahoi sakyoenae hoi a kamnue sak.
10 He opens also their ear to discipline, and commands that they return from iniquity.
Cangkhainae koelah hna a ang sak teh, yonnae dawk hoi bout a ban nahane kâ a poe.
11 If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
Lawkngai laihoi amae thaw tawk awh pawiteh, hnopai tawnta e dawk nawm awh vaiteh, hnin, thapa, kum naw hah lunghawinae hoi a loum sak han.
12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
Hateiteh, lawkngai awh hoeh pawiteh, tahloi hoi kahmat ka ta awh vaiteh, panuenae tawn laipalah due awh han.
13 But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he binds them.
Hateiteh, tamikathout e lungthin ni lungkhueknae a pâtung teh, ama ni a katek torei teh, kabawpnae hei hanelah hram awh hoeh.
14 They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
A nawca nah a due awh teh, a hringnae hah tami kahawihoehnaw hoi rei a pout.
15 He delivers the poor in his affliction, and opens their ears in oppression.
Ama ni tami ka roedeng hah reithainae thung hoi a hlout sak. Hnephnapnaw hno lahoi a hnâ a ang sak.
16 Even so would he have removed you out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no narrow place; and that which should be set on your table should be full of fatness.
Takithopoung e kângairunae thung hoi ama ni a hlout sak han. Khori kaawm hoeh e, hmuen kakawpoung koe, tawntanae dawk a kâenkhai han, na caboi teh tawntanae hoi kawi vaiteh a poum sak han.
17 But you have fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on you.
Hateiteh, tamikathoutnaw ni hmu han kamcu e lawkcengnae hoi, na kâvan teh, lawkcengnae hoi lannae ni na kuet.
18 Because there is wrath, beware lest he take you away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver you.
Lungkhueknae ao dawkvah, kâhruetcuet. Nahoeh pawiteh, vai touh hemnae dawk ama ni na cetkhai payon vaih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ratangnae kalen poung ni na hlout nahane na kabawm mahoeh.
19 Will he esteem your riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
Na tawntanae hoi na thaonae, na bahu onae pueng ni, na kângairunae dawk hoi na hlout sak han na maw.
20 Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
Karum hah kâuepkhai hanh. Taminaw karum dawk kahmanae tueng lah ao.
21 Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this have you chosen rather than affliction.
Yonnae dawkvah kamlang hoeh nahanlah kâhruetcuet, bangkongtetpawiteh, reithai khangnae hlak hai na kârawi e lah ao.
22 Behold, God exalts by his power: who teaches like him?
Khenhaw! Cathut teh hnotithainae dawk hoi tawmrasang e lah ao. Apinimaw ama patetlah a cangkhai boi.
23 Who has enjoined him his way? or who can say, You have worked iniquity?
Apinimaw a lamthung hah a poukkhai boi. Apinimaw na sak e hah na payon telah atipouh boi.
24 Remember that you magnify his work, which men behold.
A tawk e thaw hah len sak hanelah pahnim hanh, tami ni la lah a sak awh e hah.
25 Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.
Tami pueng ni a hmu awh teh, tami ni ahlanae koehoi a radoung awh.
26 Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
Khenhaw! Cathut teh a lentoe poung, maimouh ni panuek thai awh hoeh. Kumnaw hai panue thai lah awm hoeh.
27 For he makes small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapor thereof:
Bangkongtetpawiteh, tui ka ca e naw hah, a lathueng lah a sawn teh, tuikahu kaawm e patetlah kho a rak sak.
28 Which the clouds do drop and distil on man abundantly.
Hote tâmai dawk hoi a rak sak teh, tami e lathueng vah, kho a nan sak.
29 Also can any understand the spreading of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
Tâmai ka tabawk e hoi ama ni a lathueng vah a ramuk e khoparitnaw hah, apinimaw a panue thai han.
30 Behold, he spreads his light on it, and covers the bottom of the sea.
Khenhaw! a lathueng vah a angnae pheng a tue sak teh, kadung poung e tuipuinaw hah pheng a ramuk.
31 For by them judges he the people; he gives meat in abundance.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, hete hnonaw lahoi, tami hah lawk a ceng teh, rawca koung kakhoutlah a poe.
32 With clouds he covers the light; and commands it not to shine by the cloud that comes between.
Na kut hah sumpapalik hoi a ramuk teh, ka hanelah kâ a poe.
33 The noise thereof shows concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapor.
Khoparit e ni a kamnue sak teh, saringnaw ni hai tûilî a thonae hah a kamnue sak.
