< Job 35 >

1 Elihu spoke moreover, and said,
Hahoi Elihu ni a pathung e teh,
2 Thinkest thou this to be right, [that] thou saidst, My righteousness [is] more than God's?
Heteheh, a lan telah na pouk maw, Cathut lannae hlak ka lan telah na dei maw.
3 For thou saidst, What advantage will it be to thee? [and], What profit shall I have, [if I be cleansed] from my sin?
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka yonnae hah pap boipawiteh, hot teh, nang hanelah bangmaw a hawinae, meknae hoe ka hmu telah na ti.
4 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
Nama koe kaawm e naw hoi na pathung han.
5 Look to the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds [which] are higher than thou.
Kalvan lah moung nateh khenhaw! khenhaw! nang hlak hoe ka rasang e tâmainaw hah,
6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or [if] thy transgressions are multiplied, what doest thou to him?
Yonnae na sak pawiteh, ama taranlahoi bangmaw hoe na kuepcing sak, nahoeh pawiteh kâtapoenae hah pap pawiteh, ama hanelah bangmaw na sak,
7 If thou art righteous, what givest thou to him? or what receiveth he from thy hand?
Tamikalan lah na awm pawiteh, ama hah bangmaw na poe, Nahoeh pawiteh, ama ni na kut dawk hoi bangmaw a hmu.
8 Thy wickedness [may hurt] a man as thou [art]: and thy righteousness [may profit] the son of man.
Na hawihoehnae ni nang patetlah kaawm e tami hah a ratet, na lannae ni tami capa buet touh a ratet.
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make [the oppressed] to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
Hnephnap e a pap kecu dawkvah a hramki awh, athakaawme taminaw e rektapnae kecu dawkvah, kabawpnae a panki hoi a hram awh.
10 But none saith, Where [is] God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;
Hateiteh, apinihai nâmaw kasakkung Cathut, karum lah la sak han ka poe e hah ao telah dei awh hoeh.
11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
Talai e sarang hlak hai apinimaw na cangkhai awh. Kalvan e tava hlak lung na ang sak awh.
12 There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
Tamikathoutnaw a kâoup kecu dawk, hawvah a hram awh ei, pathung awh hoeh.
13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
Banghai bang hoeh e lawk hah Cathut ni khoeroe thai mahoeh, Athakasaipounge, ni hai banglahai noutna mahoeh.
14 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, [yet] judgment [is] before him; therefore trust thou in him.
Ama teh na hmawt hoeh telah na dei nakunghai, amae hmalah lannae ao teh, ama teh na ring raw na ring han.
15 But now, because [it is] not [so], he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth [it] not in great extremity:
Bangkongtetpawiteh, atuvah a lungkhueknae dawk hoi na rek hoeh niteh, pathunae hnonaw pueng hah pâkuem hoeh.
16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
Hatdawkvah, Job ni a khuekhaw awm laipalah, a pahni a ang teh, panuenae laipalah lawk a pap sak.
