Job 36
1 Elihu also continued, and said,
Elihu loh koep a cong tih,
2 “Bear with me a little, and I will show you; for I still have something to say on God’s behalf.
“Kamah taengah bet m'bulbo uh lamtah nangmih te olthui khaw Pathen yueng la koep kan thui eh.
3 I will get my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
Ka poeknah he khohla lamloh kam phueih tih duengnah he kai aka saii ham ni ka khueh.
4 For truly my words are not false. One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.
Ka olthui he a honghi pawt dongah nang taengkah lungming khaw a cuemthuek ham tueng pai.
5 “Behold, God is mighty, and doesn’t despise anyone. He is mighty in strength of understanding.
Pathen tah khuet tih lungbuei thadueng a khuet te a sit moenih ne.
6 He doesn’t preserve the life of the wicked, but gives justice to the afflicted.
Halang te hlun pawt tih mangdaeng te tiktamnah la a paek.
7 He doesn’t withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne, he sets them forever, and they are exalted.
A mik te hlangdueng taeng lamloh khap pawt tih manghai rhoek te ngolkhoel dongah a ngol sak. Te phoeiah amih a yoeyah la a thuung tih a sang sak.
8 If they are bound in fetters, and are taken in the cords of afflictions,
Tedae hmaipom neh pin uh tih phacip phabaem rhuihet neh a tuuk uh atah,
9 then he shows them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
Amih kah bisai neh a boekoeknah dongah a len uh te khaw amih taengah a thui pah.
10 He also opens their ears to instruction, and commands that they return from iniquity.
Thuituennah hamla amih hna te a vueh pah tih boethae lamloh mael hamla a thui pah.
11 If they listen and serve him, they will spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
A hnatun uh tih tho a thueng koinih a khohnin then neh thok tih a kum te a naepnoi la boeih.
12 But if they don’t listen, they will perish by the sword; they will die without knowledge.
Tedae a hnatun uh pawt atah pumcumnah neh a paan uh vetih mingnah aka tal bangla pal uh ni.
13 “But those who are godless in heart lay up anger. They don’t cry for help when he binds them.
Lungbuei lailak rhoek loh thintoek a khueh uh tih amih a khih vaengah pataeng bomnah bih pawh.
14 They die in youth. Their life perishes among the unclean.
Amih hinglu te camoe la, a hingnah khaw hlanghalh lakli ah duek.
15 He delivers the afflicted by their affliction, and opens their ear in oppression.
A phacip phabaem vaengah mangdaeng khaw a pumcum sak tih a hna te nennah neh a toeh.
16 Yes, he would have allured you out of distress, into a wide place, where there is no restriction. That which is set on your table would be full of fatness.
Rhal ka lamloh hmuenka la nang m'poh. Te lam te mangdaeng mangtok om pawt tih na caboei dongkah mongnah maehhloi ngang.
17 “But you are full of the judgment of the wicked. Judgment and justice take hold of you.
Halang kah dumlai khaw na cung sak tih dumlai neh laitloeknah loh m'moep.
18 Don’t let riches entice you to wrath, neither let the great size of a bribe turn you aside.
Kosi loh nang te boeinah neh m'vuet ve ne. Te dongah tlansum cungkuem loh nang m'phaelh boel.
19 Would your wealth sustain you in distress, or all the might of your strength?
Rhal khuiah pawt khaw, na bombihnah neh thadueng, thayung boeih loh m'khoembael aya?
20 Don’t desire the night, when people are cut off in their place.
A hmuikah pilnam a khum sak ham khoyin khaw hloem aih boeh.
21 Take heed, don’t regard iniquity; for you have chosen this rather than affliction.
Ngaithuen, boethae taengla mael boeh. Te te phacip phabaem lakah te na tuek coeng te.
22 Behold, God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?
Pathen tah amah thadueng neh thaphoh uh coeng ke. Amah bangla unim aka saya?
23 Who has prescribed his way for him? Or who can say, ‘You have committed unrighteousness’?
Anih ham a longpuei te u long nim a tae pah tih u long nim, 'Dumlai na saii,’ a ti nah.
24 “Remember that you magnify his work, about which men have sung.
Amah kah bisai na rhoeng sak ham te poek. Te ni hlang rhoek loh a hlai uh.
25 All men have looked on it. Man sees it afar off.
Hlang boeih loh te te a hmuh uh tih hlanghing loh khohla lamkah a paelki.
26 Behold, God is great, and we don’t know him. The number of his years is unsearchable.
Pathen tah a len dongah a kum tarhing te m'ming uh lek pawt tih khenah lek pawh.
27 For he draws up the drops of water, which distill in rain from his vapor,
Tui dongkah aangpi a yoek tih khotlan te a tuihu lamloh a ciil.
28 which the skies pour down and which drop on man abundantly.
Khomong khaw cip tih hlang soah muep pha.
29 Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds and the thunderings of his pavilion?
Khomai maiyan neh a dungtlungim kah pang ol a yakming mai ngawn.
30 Behold, he spreads his light around him. He covers the bottom of the sea.
A vangnah loh a taengah a kah tih tuitunli yung duela a khuk.
31 For by these he judges the people. He gives food in abundance.
Te nen te pilnam taengah lai a tloek tih a yet taengah caak a paek.
32 He covers his hands with the lightning, and commands it to strike the mark.
A kut dongkah vangnah loh a khuk tih phek a cuuk ham khaw te te a uen.
33 Its noise tells about him, and the livestock also, concerning the storm that comes up.
A khohum loh amah kawng te a doek tih boiva pataeng thintoek neh cet.
