< Job 35 >

1 And Elihu answers and says:
Na Elihu el sifilpa fahk:
2 “Have you reckoned this for judgment [when] you have said, My righteousness [is] more than God’s?
“Ku kom nunku mu ma se inge suwohs Ke kom fahk mu, ‘Nga suwohs ye mutun God.’
3 For you say, What does it profit You? What do I profit from my sin?
Ku ke kom siyuk sin God, ‘Nga fin tia oru ma koluk, mea ac wo nu sik?’
4 I return words, and your friends with you,
Nga ac topuk kom, ac mwet kawuk lom ingan pac.
5 Behold attentively the heavens—and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than you.
“Ngetak liye acn lucng! Liye fulatiyen pukunyeng uh!
6 If you have sinned, what do you do against Him? And your transgressions have been multiplied, What do you do to Him?
Kom fin orekma koluk, God El tiana akkolukyeyuk kac. Kom fin oru ma koluk pacl pus, ya ma inge ac aklokoalokyal?
7 If you have been righteous, What do you give to Him? Or what does He receive from your hand?
Ya kom kasru God kom fin arulana orek suwohs? Wangin ma God El enenu sum.
8 For a man like yourself [is] your wickedness, And for a son of man your righteousness.
Mwet uh pa ac keok ke ma koluk kom oru uh, Ac ma wo kom oru uh ac kasru pac mwet.
9 Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty.
“Ke akkeokyeyuk mwet uh, elos ac sasao; Ac elos pang tuh in oasr mwet kasrelos.
10 And none said, Where [is] God my Maker? Giving songs in the night,
Tuh elos tia ngetang nu sin God su oralosla, Su sang soko on in finsrak nu selos ke pacl upa nu selos.
11 Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Indeed, He makes us wiser than the bird of the heavens.
Elos tia nget nu sin God su ase etauk nu sesr, Etauk liki kutena kosro, ku won.
12 There they cry, and He does not answer, Because of the pride of evildoers.
Elos pang in suk kasru, tuh God El tiana topkolos, Mweyen elos mwet koluk ac inse fulat.
13 Surely God does not hear vanity, And the Mighty does not behold it.
Wangin sripen pang lalos uh; God Kulana El tiana liyalos, ku lohng pusralos.
14 Indeed, though you say you do not behold Him, Judgment [is] before Him, and stays for Him.
“Job, kom fahk mu kom tia ku in liye God; Tusruktu, kom in mongfisrasr ac tupan. Top lal nu sum uh oasr yorol.
15 And now, because there is not, He has appointed His anger, And He has not known in great extremity.
In nunak lom kom mu God El ac tiana kalyei mwet, Ac kom mu El tia arulana lohang nu ke ma koluk uh.
16 And Job opens his mouth [with] vanity, He multiplies words without knowledge.”
Wangin sripa kom in nuna kaskas na; Kalem tari lah kom tia etu ma kom fahk an.”
