Job 35
1 Moreover Elihu answered,
Elihu loh koep a doo tih,
2 "Do you think this to be your right, or do you say, 'My righteousness is more than God's,'
“'Patheni lakah kamah duengnah ngai,’ na ti te tiktamnah la na poek a te?
3 That you ask, 'What advantage will it be to you? What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?'
'Ka tholhnah lamloh nang hamla balae a hmaiben tih balae a hoeikhang,’ na ti.
4 I will answer you, and your companions with you.
Namah neh na taengkah na hui rhoek kah olthui te ka thuung eh.
5 Look to the heavens, and see. See the skies, which are higher than you.
Vaan ke paelki lamtah hmu van lah. Nang lakah aka sang khomong ke dan lah.
6 If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are 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 are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand?
Na tang atah amah taengah balae na paek? Na kut lamloh balae a loh?
8 Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are, and your righteousness may profit a son of man.
Nang bang, na halangnah khaw hlang ham tih na duengnah khaw hlang capa ham ni.
9 "By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out. They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.
Hnaemtaeknah cungkuem hmuiah aka tlung bantha lamloh bombih hamla pang uh.
10 But none says, 'Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,
Tedae, “Kai aka saii tih khoyin ah laa aka pae Pathen te ta?
11 who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?'
Diklai rhamsa lakah mamih n'cang puei tih vaan kah vaa lakah mamih n'cueih sak,’ a ti moenih.
12 There they cry, but none gives answer, because of the pride of evil men.
Pang uh pahoi cakhaw boethae rhoek kah hoemdamnah hmai ah tah a doo moenih.
13 Surely God will not hear an empty cry, neither will Shaddai regard it.
Patheni loh a poeyoek la hnatun pawt tih Tlungthang long khaw a hmuhming moenih.
14 How much less when you say you do not see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him.
A hmuhming pawt tih na thui vaeng aisat, dumlai pataeng amah mikhmuh ah a pha dongah amah mah rhingda laeh.
15 But now, because he has not visited in his anger, neither does he greatly regard arrogance.
Tedae a thintoek te cawh voel pawt oeh coeng tih halangnah te khaw ming voel pawh.
16 Therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, and he multiplies words without knowledge."
Job loh a honghi la a ka a ang tih mingnah om pawt ah a olthui yet,” a ti.
