Job 35
1 And Elihu answers and says:
Elihu loh koep a doo tih,
2 “Have you reckoned this for judgment [when] you have said, My righteousness [is] more than God’s?
“'Patheni lakah kamah duengnah ngai,’ na ti te tiktamnah la na poek a te?
3 For you say, What does it profit You? What do I profit from my sin?
'Ka tholhnah lamloh nang hamla balae a hmaiben tih balae a hoeikhang,’ na ti.
4 I return words, and your friends with you,
Namah neh na taengkah na hui rhoek kah olthui te ka thuung eh.
5 Behold attentively the heavens—and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than you.
Vaan ke paelki lamtah hmu van lah. Nang lakah aka sang khomong ke dan lah.
6 If you have sinned, what do you do against Him? And your transgressions have been multiplied, What do you do to Him?
Na tholh koinih amah te metlam a ben eh? Na boekoeknah pungtai koinih amah taengah balae a saii eh.
7 If you have been righteous, What do you give to Him? Or what does He receive from your hand?
Na tang atah amah taengah balae na paek? Na kut lamloh balae a loh?
8 For a man like yourself [is] your wickedness, And for a son of man your righteousness.
Nang bang, na halangnah khaw hlang ham tih na duengnah khaw hlang capa ham ni.
9 Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty.
Hnaemtaeknah cungkuem hmuiah aka tlung bantha lamloh bombih hamla pang uh.
10 And none said, Where [is] God my Maker? Giving songs in the night,
Tedae, “Kai aka saii tih khoyin ah laa aka pae Pathen te ta?
11 Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Indeed, He makes us wiser than the bird of the heavens.
Diklai rhamsa lakah mamih n'cang puei tih vaan kah vaa lakah mamih n'cueih sak,’ a ti moenih.
12 There they cry, and He does not answer, Because of the pride of evildoers.
Pang uh pahoi cakhaw boethae rhoek kah hoemdamnah hmai ah tah a doo moenih.
13 Surely God does not hear vanity, And the Mighty does not behold it.
Patheni loh a poeyoek la hnatun pawt tih Tlungthang long khaw a hmuhming moenih.
14 Indeed, though you say you do not behold Him, Judgment [is] before Him, and stays 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, because there is not, He has appointed His anger, And He has not known in great extremity.
Tedae a thintoek te cawh voel pawt oeh coeng tih halangnah te khaw ming voel pawh.
16 And Job opens his mouth [with] vanity, He multiplies words without knowledge.”
Job loh a honghi la a ka a ang tih mingnah om pawt ah a olthui yet,” a ti.
