< Job 35 >
1 And Elihu answereth and saith: —
Hahoi Elihu ni a pathung e teh,
2 This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said — '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 sayest, 'What doth it profit Thee! What do I profit 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 return thee words, and thy friends with thee,
Nama koe kaawm e naw hoi na pathung han.
5 Behold attentively the heavens — and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than thou.
Kalvan lah moung nateh khenhaw! khenhaw! nang hlak hoe ka rasang e tâmainaw hah,
6 If thou hast sinned, what dost thou against Him? And thy transgressions have been multiplied, What dost 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 hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or what from thy hand doth He receive?
Tamikalan lah na awm pawiteh, ama hah bangmaw na poe, Nahoeh pawiteh, ama ni na kut dawk hoi bangmaw a hmu.
8 For a man like thyself [is] thy wickedness, And for a son of man thy righteousness.
Na hawihoehnae ni nang patetlah kaawm e tami hah a ratet, na lannae ni tami capa buet touh a ratet.
9 Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because 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 And none said, 'Where [is] God my maker? Giving songs in the night,
Hateiteh, apinihai nâmaw kasakkung Cathut, karum lah la sak han ka poe e hah ao telah dei awh hoeh.
11 Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Yea, than the fowl of the heavens He maketh us wiser.'
Talai e sarang hlak hai apinimaw na cangkhai awh. Kalvan e tava hlak lung na ang sak awh.
12 There they cry, and He doth not answer, Because of the pride of evil doers.
Tamikathoutnaw a kâoup kecu dawk, hawvah a hram awh ei, pathung awh hoeh.
13 Surely vanity God doth not hear, And the Mighty doth not behold it.
Banghai bang hoeh e lawk hah Cathut ni khoeroe thai mahoeh, Athakasaipounge, ni hai banglahai noutna mahoeh.
14 Yea, though thou sayest thou dost not behold Him, Judgment [is] before Him, and stay for Him.
Ama teh na hmawt hoeh telah na dei nakunghai, amae hmalah lannae ao teh, ama teh na ring raw na ring han.
15 And, now, because there is not, He hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, atuvah a lungkhueknae dawk hoi na rek hoeh niteh, pathunae hnonaw pueng hah pâkuem hoeh.
16 And Job [with] vanity doth open his mouth, Without knowledge words he multiplieth.
Hatdawkvah, Job ni a khuekhaw awm laipalah, a pahni a ang teh, panuenae laipalah lawk a pap sak.
