Job 34
1 Then Elihu continued:
Hiti chun Elihu in aseijin:
2 “You [three] men who [think that you] [SAR] are very wise, hear me; listen to what I am saying, you men who [say that you] know so much.
Miching hon kathusei hi ngai uvin, chihna themna neihon phatechan hin ngai uvin.
3 When we [SYN] hear what other people [like you] say, we [RHQ] think carefully about what they say [to determine what is good and what is bad], like we [SYN] taste food [to determine what is good].
Ngaijuvin kam’in antwi leh twilou ahet khen bangin bilkol in jong thucheng ajah jouse hi apatep jin ahi, tin Job in aseije.
4 We need to decide [who is saying] what is right and to determine among ourselves what is good/best.
Ipihi adih ham ti eima cheh a din hekhen u hitin, ipi hi thilpha ham ti kihilkhom sohkei uhite.
5 Job has said, ‘I am innocent, but God has refused to judge me fairly/justly.
Hijeh chun Job in jong aseijin keima hi nolna bei kahin ahinlah Pathen in kathusei eilah mang peh tai.
6 Even though I have always done what is right, he is lying about me. Even though I have not done what is wrong, he has caused me to suffer, and I will certainly die.’
Keima nolnabei kahin ahinlah amahon mijou eitiuve. Kachonset lou vang'in kathoh gimna hi jendam thei ahipoi.
7 (Is there any person like Job, who insults others as easily as people accept a drink of water?/There is no person like Job, who insults others as easily as people accept a drink of water.) [RHQ]
Dang goleuva daichat vaina leh nuisatna thoh jing Job tobang mi aum kha dem? Neiseipeh tem uvin.
8 He habitually associates with people who do what is evil and spends time with wicked people.
Amapan kalhat khompi dingin thilse bolte alhengin aphat ho jouse migiloute toh amang khom e.
9 He has said, ‘It is useless for people to try to please God.’
Ipi dinga Pathen lunghol na a phat jouse namoh manchai ding ham ti chanin amapan aseije.
10 “So, you men who [claim that you] understand everything, listen to me! Almighty God would never consider doing anything that is wicked or wrong [DOU]!
Thilhet khen themna neihon ngaijuvin kathusei hi, Pathen in chonset abolpoi ti mi jousen ahet ahin, hatchungnungpa chun thil dihlou aboltheipoi.
11 He (pays back/punishes) people for what they have done; he gives them what they deserve for the way that they have conducted their lives.
Aman mihem hi atoh dungjui cheh a lethuhna apeh ji ahin, aman mihemte hi achonna dungjui a alethuh ji ahi.
12 Truly, Almighty God never does what is wicked; he always [LIT] does what is fair/just.
Tahbeh mongin Pathen in thil dihlou abol louhel ding ahi. Hatchungnung pa chun thudoh chu aheimang lou ding ahi.
13 The authority that he has to rule everything on the earth, no one [RHQ] gave it to him; no one [RHQ] put him in control of the whole world. [He has always had that authority].
Mihem khat touvin leiset pumpi hi athu noija akoi khah em? Leiset pumpi hi kitup chetna koipen in akoi ham?
14 If he would take his spirit back to himself,
Pathen chun alhagao ana kinunglah khat tou hihen chuleh ahaina hu chu akinung lah hitaleh,
15 everyone would die [immediately], and their corpses would soon become dirt again.
Hinkho jouse kichai ding ahitan, chule mihingte jouse hi leivui soh kit ding ahitai.
16 “So, [Job], if [you say that you] understand everything, listen to what I am saying.
Tun miching hon kathusei hi ngai uvin, ipi kasei lunglut tah in ngai uvin.
17 God could certainly not [RHQ] govern the world if he hated doing what is fair/just. So, will you condemn God, who is righteous and powerful, [saying that what he has done is wrong]?
Thudih deilouva Pathen in vai ahom ding ham? Hatchungnungpa thutan hum o nachan ding ham?
18 He tells [some] kings that they are worthless, and he says to [some] officials that they are wicked.
Ijeh inem itile aman leng ho jah a nang hi migilou nahin chuleh milen milal pa komah nanghi langnei nahi tin aseije.
19 He does not favor rulers [more than he favors others]; he does not favor rich people more than poor people, because he created all of them.
Aman mihem chu itobangin oupe jongle iman agelpon chuleh mivaichapa sangin mihausa pachu akhohsah chompoi, aboncha ama khutsem ahi cheh e.
20 People [often] die suddenly; he strikes them at midnight and they die; he even gets rid of mighty people without the help of any humans [SYN].
Mitphet kah louvin athi theijin, jankim lai teng jongle amangthah jiuvin, mithat hatpa jong chu mihem khat pang louvin akisumang jitai.
21 “He sees [MTY] everything that people do; [when we walk, ] he watches every step that we take.
Ijeh inem itile Pathen in mihem tehi iti hin ham ti ave jingin, athilbolu amusoh keije.
22 There is no gloom or darkness [DOU] that is so dark that sinners can hide [from him] in that darkness.
Migiloupa kiselna ding chun muthim jong ama mitmun kiselna din alhing joupoi.
23 God does not [need to] set a time when we will stand in front of him in order that he may judge us. [He can judge us whenever he wants to].
Pathen thutanna'a itih le idin diu ham ti eihon, gonsan ikoi pouve.
24 He destroys mighty people without [needing to] investigate [what they have done], and he appoints others to take their places.
Aman mihat pachu koimacha dong louhel in asumang jin, chule ama munna chu adang khat atung doh ji'e.
25 Because he [already] knows what they have done, he removes them at night and gets rid of them.
Aman ipi abol'u ahet ahin, chuleh jan tengle alehkhup in chuleh asumang jitai.
26 Where [many] people can see it, he strikes/punishes them because of the wicked things that they have done;
Aman agitlou jeh uvin ajeplhu jin mijouse mu thei dingle ima jousen amu theidin abol ji'e.
27 he strikes them because they turned away from doing what he wanted them to do and did not pay attention to any of his commands.
Ijeh inem itile, ama nung ajui nauva konin akihei mangun alampi jeng jong donlouvin akoi tauve.
28 They [mistreated] the poor people, with the result that those poor people cried out to God [for help], and he heard those afflicted people when they cried out [to him].
Amahon mivaichate chu aka sah un, akanau chu Pathen koma alhunge. Pathen in mi gentheite kana ho ajahpeh jin ahi.
29 But if God decides to do nothing [to punish wicked people], no one can criticize/condemn him. If a godless/wicked man rules a nation, a man who tricks/deceives the people,
Ahinlah ama chun thipbeh a um ding chu lheng jo tahen lang hileh kon amachu themmo achan thei ding ham? Aman amai aselmang teng mikhat ham ahiloule namkhat hijeng jongle koiman aholdoh joupoi.
30 and if [God] hides his face [with the result that he does not see that ruler or punish him], no one will be able to prevent that ruler [from doing those things].
Mihemte thanga a o louna diuvin aman Pathen neiloute vaihomin apansah jipoi.
31 “Job, have you or anyone else ever said to God, ‘I have been punished [for my sins], and I will not sin any more;
Kachonse tai, ahin chonset bolkit taponge tia mihem ten ipi dinga Pathen koma aseikit jilou u ham?
32 so teach/show me what [sins I have committed]; if I have done anything that is evil, I will not do it any more’?
Ahiloule ipi thilse kabol kahekha poi neisei peh in thilse kabol aum khah leh tutah hin ngai jeng inge.
33 [Job, ] you object to what God has done to you, but do you think that he will do what you want him to do? It is you who must choose [what you say to God], not I; so tell me what you are thinking about this.
Nathum najeh a chu Pathen in athudih nachu asemphat ding ham? Ijeh inem itile nangin ama chu napaidoh sa ahin, akilhen ding chu nang nahin, kei kahipoi, sei jomin lang nachihna chu keiho komma phong doh in.
34 “People who have good sense, those who are wise and who listen to what I say, will say to me,
Hicheng jou nungin milungval hon eiseipeh untin chuleh miching hon kathusei ngai uvinte.
35 ‘Job is speaking ignorantly; what he says is nonsense.’
Job in hetoh louva asei ahin, athucheng ho chu agilpoi.
36 I think that Job should be taken to a court and (put on trial/judged), because he answers [us his friends] like wicked men would answer.
Job migilou thuseija nathusei jeh a akhonna leh nachung thu kitan ding nakikhol khom ahi.
37 To add to the [other] sins that he has committed, he is rebelling [against God]; he shows us that he does not respect God [IDM], making long speeches [saying that God has punished him unjustly].”
Ijeh inem itile nangin nachonset na chunga doumah nabol ben, nangin Pathen dounan lunghanna thu nasei lelen, jabolna nanei tapoi.
