Job 35
1 And Elihu answereth and saith: —
Elihu loh koep a doo tih,
2 This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said — 'My righteousness [is] more than God's?'
“'Patheni lakah kamah duengnah ngai,’ na ti te tiktamnah la na poek a te?
3 For thou sayest, 'What doth it profit Thee! What do I profit from my sin?'
'Ka tholhnah lamloh nang hamla balae a hmaiben tih balae a hoeikhang,’ na ti.
4 I return thee words, and thy friends with thee,
Namah neh na taengkah na hui rhoek kah olthui te ka thuung eh.
5 Behold attentively the heavens — and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than thou.
Vaan ke paelki lamtah hmu van lah. Nang lakah aka sang khomong ke dan lah.
6 If thou hast sinned, what dost thou against Him? And thy transgressions have been multiplied, What dost thou to Him?
Na tholh koinih amah te metlam a ben eh? Na boekoeknah pungtai koinih amah taengah balae a saii eh.
7 If thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or what from thy hand doth He receive?
Na tang atah amah taengah balae na paek? Na kut lamloh balae a loh?
8 For a man like thyself [is] thy wickedness, And for a son of man thy righteousness.
Nang bang, na halangnah khaw hlang ham tih na duengnah khaw hlang capa ham ni.
9 Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty.
Hnaemtaeknah cungkuem hmuiah aka tlung bantha lamloh bombih hamla pang uh.
10 And none said, 'Where [is] God my maker? Giving songs in the night,
Tedae, “Kai aka saii tih khoyin ah laa aka pae Pathen te ta?
11 Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Yea, than the fowl of the heavens He maketh us wiser.'
Diklai rhamsa lakah mamih n'cang puei tih vaan kah vaa lakah mamih n'cueih sak,’ a ti moenih.
12 There they cry, and He doth not answer, Because of the pride of evil doers.
Pang uh pahoi cakhaw boethae rhoek kah hoemdamnah hmai ah tah a doo moenih.
13 Surely vanity God doth not hear, And the Mighty doth not behold it.
Patheni loh a poeyoek la hnatun pawt tih Tlungthang long khaw a hmuhming moenih.
14 Yea, though thou sayest thou dost not behold Him, Judgment [is] before Him, and stay for Him.
A hmuhming pawt tih na thui vaeng aisat, dumlai pataeng amah mikhmuh ah a pha dongah amah mah rhingda laeh.
15 And, now, because there is not, He hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity.
Tedae a thintoek te cawh voel pawt oeh coeng tih halangnah te khaw ming voel pawh.
16 And Job [with] vanity doth open his mouth, Without knowledge words he multiplieth.
Job loh a honghi la a ka a ang tih mingnah om pawt ah a olthui yet,” a ti.
