Job 34
1 Moreover Elihu answered and said,
Elihu ni rekrek a pathung teh,
2 Hear my words, ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
Nangmouh a lungkaangnaw ka lawk heh thai awh, Nangmouh panuenae katawnnaw, na hnâpakeng awh.
3 For the ear trieth words, as the palate tasteth meat.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka kâko ni rawca atuinae a patek e patetlah, hnâ ni lawk hah a tanouk van.
4 Let us choose for us that which is right: let us know among ourselves what is good.
Maimouh roeroe ni lannae teh, kârawi awh haw sei. Ahawinae hah bangmaw tie hah maimae thung hoi panuek awh haw sei.
5 For Job hath said, I am righteous, and God hath taken away my right:
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Job ni kai teh ka lan, hateiteh, Cathut ni ka lannae a la
6 Notwithstanding my right I am [accounted] a liar; my wound is incurable, [though I am] without transgression.
Ka lannae e kong dawk ka laithoe han na maw, kâtapoenae ka tawn hoeh nakunghai ka hmâ teh, ka dam thai hoeh e doeh toe, telah a ti.
7 What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
Panuikhainae hah tui patetlah ka net e, Job patetlah apimaw kaawm.
8 Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
Payonnae kasaknaw hoi kamyawng e, tamikathoutnaw hoi ka cet e apimaw kaawm.
9 For he hath said, it profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut koe lunghawi e heh, tami ni banghai hawinae awm hoeh telah ati toe
10 Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
Hatdawkvah, panuethainae katawnnaw na thai pouh haw, kathoute ka sak e teh, Cathut hanelah roeroe coung thai hoeh, yonnae ka sak e teh, Athakasaipounge hanelah khoeroe coung thai hoeh.
11 For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami hah a sak e patetlah ama ni a patho han, tami pueng a tawksak e hoi kamcu lah tawkphu kamcu lah a poe han.
12 Yea, of a surety, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
Cathut ni kahawihoeh poung lah sak mahoeh, nahoeh pawiteh, Athakasaipounge ni lannae teh, khoeroe kamlang takhai mahoeh.
13 Who gave him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?
Apinimaw ama teh talai e thaw a poe, talai van pueng heh apinimaw ama a uk sak.
14 If he set his heart upon man, [if] he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
Ama ni tami teh a ngainae awm hoeh pawiteh, kai e hringnae kâha hah lat boipawiteh,
15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
Takthai pueng reirei a kahma han tami teh vaiphu lah bout a ban han.
16 If now [thou hast] understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
Thaipanueknae na tawn awh pawiteh, Kâlawk pawlawk heh thai awh haw.
17 Shall even one that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is just [and] mighty?
Lannae ka hmuhma e ni a uk han namaw, Kalan ni teh athakaawme hah, yon na pen thai namaw.
18 Is it [fit] to say to a king, [Thou art] vile? [or] to nobles, [Ye are] wicked?
Nang teh banghai cungkeinae na awm hoeh telah, siangpahrang koe dei pouh han.
19 [How much less to] him that respecteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.
Hateiteh, ahni ni bawi hai kapeknae tawn hoeh, Tami tangreng hoi roedeng hoi kapeknae ka tawn hoeh e doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, abuemlahoi amae kutsaknaw doeh.
20 In a moment they die, even at midnight; the people are shaken and pass away, and the mighty are taken away without hand.
Karumsaning tawkkadek a due awh teh, taminaw pueng hah a kâhuet awh teh, koung a kahma awh, tami athakaawme hai tami e kut laipalah be kahmat lah a la pouh.
21 For his eyes are upon the ways of a man, and he seeth all his goings.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a mit teh tami e lamthung dawk ao teh, a khoktakan puenghai be a hmu,
22 There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
Yonnae kasaknaw, amamouh kâhro nahane hmuen awmhoeh, duenae tâhlip hai awm hoeh.
23 For he needeth not further to consider a man, that he should go before God in judgment.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut e hmalah lawkceng hane cei hanelah, tami e kong bout pouk hane ama ni panki hoeh.
24 He breaketh in pieces mighty men [in ways] past finding out, and setteth others in their stead.
A kung rek khei ngai laipalah athakaawme taminaw hah koung a tâtueng han, ahnimae hmuen dawk tami alouke o nahanelah ka poe han.
25 Therefore he taketh knowledge of their works; and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh ni a sak e pueng hah a panue teh, karum vah ama ni a tâkhawng teh koung a kâbawng.
26 He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
Tami ni a hmu thai e hmuen koe, tamikathoutnaw patetlah a hem awh.
27 Because they turned aside from following him, and would not have regard to any of his ways:
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ama hah a kamlang takhai awh, a lamthung hah pouk raw pouk awh hoeh.
28 So that they caused the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heard the cry of the afflicted.
Hottelah karoedengnaw e lawk hah a hmalah a pha, Bangkongtetpawiteh rektapnaw e lawk hah a ma ni a thai.
29 When he giveth quietness, who then can condemn? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether [it be done] unto a nation, or unto a man, alike:
BAWIPA ni roumnae a poe torei teh, apinimaw rucatnae a poe thai han, a minhmai a hro torei teh, apinimaw a hmu thai han, miphun buet touh taranlahoi thoseh, tami buet touh taranlahoi thoseh,
30 That the godless man reign not, that there be none to ensnare the people.
Tamikahawihoeh e ni a uk hoeh nahanlah, telah nahoeh pawiteh, tami pueng koung kaithi payon han.
31 For hath any said unto God, I have borne [chastisement], I will not offend [any more]:
Tami ni Cathut koehoi tounnae ka hmu toe. Kai teh hawihoehnae ka sak mahoeh toe.
32 That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do it no more?
Ka hmu hoeh e hah na cangkhai haw, Payonnae hah ka sakpayon pawiteh, bout ka sak mahoeh toe.
33 Shall his recompence be as thou wilt, that thou refusest it? for thou must choose, and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
Na lawkkamnae na pahnawt dawkvah, na sak e boiboelah na pathung han na maw. Kai ni na hoeh, nang ni roeroe na kârawi han. Hatdawkvah, na panue e hah deih.
34 Men of understanding will say unto me, yea, every wise man that heareth me:
Panue thainae katawnnaw hoi, ka lawk ka thai e lungkaangnaw ni kai koe vah,
35 Job speaketh without knowledge, and his words are without wisdom.
Job ni panuenae tawn laipalah lawk hah a dei, a lawk hah lungangnae kaawm hoeh e naw doeh telah a dei awh.
36 Would that Job were tried unto the end, because of his answering like wicked men.
Oe Job heh a pout totouh tanouknae lah awm yawkaw naseh, bangkongtetpawiteh, lawk pathungnae hah tamikathoutnaw lawk pathungnae patetlah ao.
37 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a yonnae dawk taranthawnae a thap sin, maimouh koevah, kut tambei teh, Cathut taranlahoi lawk a pap telah a ti.
