Job 36
1 Elihu also continued, and said,
Elihu ni hettelah bout a dei,
2 "Bear with me a little, and I will show you; for I still have something to say 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 get 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 are not false. One who 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 "Look, God is mighty, and doesn't despise anyone. He is mighty in strength of understanding.
Khenhaw! Cathut teh a thasai eiteh, apihai dudam hoeh. Ama teh athao teh thonae thaipanueknae hoi a kawi
6 He doesn't preserve the life of the wicked, but gives to the afflicted their right.
Tamikathoutnaw hah pâhlung hoeh. Hateiteh, hnephnap e naw hah lannae a poe.
7 He doesn't withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne, he sets them forever, 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 If they are bound in fetters, and are taken in the cords of afflictions,
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 behaved themselves proudly.
Kâtapoenae hoi a sak e hah lungpata lahoi sakyoenae hoi a kamnue sak.
10 He also opens their ears to instruction, 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 listen 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 do not listen, they shall perish by the sword; 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 those who are godless in heart lay up anger. They do not cry for help 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. Their life perishes among the unclean.
A nawca nah a due awh teh, a hringnae hah tami kahawihoehnaw hoi rei a pout.
15 He delivers the afflicted by their affliction, and opens their ear in oppression.
Ama ni tami ka roedeng hah reithainae thung hoi a hlout sak. Hnephnapnaw hno lahoi a hnâ a ang sak.
16 Yes, he would have allured you out of distress, into a broad place, where there is no restriction. That which is set on your table would 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 are full of the judgment of the wicked. Judgment and justice take hold of you.
Hateiteh, tamikathoutnaw ni hmu han kamcu e lawkcengnae hoi, na kâvan teh, lawkcengnae hoi lannae ni na kuet.
18 Do not let riches entice you to wrath, neither let the great size of a bribe turn you aside.
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 Would your wealth sustain you in distress, or all the might of your strength?
Na tawntanae hoi na thaonae, na bahu onae pueng ni, na kângairunae dawk hoi na hlout sak han na maw.
20 Do not desire the night, when people are cut off in their place.
Karum hah kâuepkhai hanh. Taminaw karum dawk kahmanae tueng lah ao.
21 Take heed, do not regard iniquity; for you have chosen this rather than affliction.
Yonnae dawkvah kamlang hoeh nahanlah kâhruetcuet, bangkongtetpawiteh, reithai khangnae hlak hai na kârawi e lah ao.
22 Look, God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?
Khenhaw! Cathut teh hnotithainae dawk hoi tawmrasang e lah ao. Apinimaw ama patetlah a cangkhai boi.
23 Who has prescribed his way for him? Or who can say, 'You have committed unrighteousness?'
Apinimaw a lamthung hah a poukkhai boi. Apinimaw na sak e hah na payon telah atipouh boi.
24 "Remember that you magnify his work, whereof men have sung.
A tawk e thaw hah len sak hanelah pahnim hanh, tami ni la lah a sak awh e hah.
25 All men have looked thereon. Man sees it afar off.
Tami pueng ni a hmu awh teh, tami ni ahlanae koehoi a radoung awh.
26 Look, God is great, and we do not know him. The number of his years is unsearchable.
Khenhaw! Cathut teh a lentoe poung, maimouh ni panuek thai awh hoeh. Kumnaw hai panue thai lah awm hoeh.
27 For he draws up the drops of water, which distill in rain from his vapor,
Bangkongtetpawiteh, tui ka ca e naw hah, a lathueng lah a sawn teh, tuikahu kaawm e patetlah kho a rak sak.
28 Which the skies pour down and which drop on humankind abundantly.
Hote tâmai dawk hoi a rak sak teh, tami e lathueng vah, kho a nan sak.
29 Yes, can any understand the spreading of the clouds, and the thunderings of his pavilion?
Tâmai ka tabawk e hoi ama ni a lathueng vah a ramuk e khoparitnaw hah, apinimaw a panue thai han.
30 Look, he spreads his light around him. He 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 these he judges the people. He gives food in abundance.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, hete hnonaw lahoi, tami hah lawk a ceng teh, rawca koung kakhoutlah a poe.
32 He covers his hands with the lightning, and commands it to strike the mark.
Na kut hah sumpapalik hoi a ramuk teh, ka hanelah kâ a poe.
33 Its noise tells about him, and the livestock also concerning the storm that comes up.
Khoparit e ni a kamnue sak teh, saringnaw ni hai tûilî a thonae hah a kamnue sak.
