< Job 35 >

1 And Elihu answereth and saith: —
Na Elihu el sifilpa fahk:
2 This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said — 'My righteousness [is] more than God's?'
“Ku kom nunku mu ma se inge suwohs Ke kom fahk mu, ‘Nga suwohs ye mutun God.’
3 For thou sayest, 'What doth it profit Thee! What do I profit from my sin?'
Ku ke kom siyuk sin God, ‘Nga fin tia oru ma koluk, mea ac wo nu sik?’
4 I return thee words, and thy friends with thee,
Nga ac topuk kom, ac mwet kawuk lom ingan pac.
5 Behold attentively the heavens — and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than thou.
“Ngetak liye acn lucng! Liye fulatiyen pukunyeng uh!
6 If thou hast sinned, what dost thou against Him? And thy transgressions have been multiplied, What dost thou to Him?
Kom fin orekma koluk, God El tiana akkolukyeyuk kac. Kom fin oru ma koluk pacl pus, ya ma inge ac aklokoalokyal?
7 If thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or what from thy hand doth He receive?
Ya kom kasru God kom fin arulana orek suwohs? Wangin ma God El enenu sum.
8 For a man like thyself [is] thy wickedness, And for a son of man thy righteousness.
Mwet uh pa ac keok ke ma koluk kom oru uh, Ac ma wo kom oru uh ac kasru pac mwet.
9 Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty.
“Ke akkeokyeyuk mwet uh, elos ac sasao; Ac elos pang tuh in oasr mwet kasrelos.
10 And none said, 'Where [is] God my maker? Giving songs in the night,
Tuh elos tia ngetang nu sin God su oralosla, Su sang soko on in finsrak nu selos ke pacl upa nu selos.
11 Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Yea, than the fowl of the heavens He maketh us wiser.'
Elos tia nget nu sin God su ase etauk nu sesr, Etauk liki kutena kosro, ku won.
12 There they cry, and He doth not answer, Because of the pride of evil doers.
Elos pang in suk kasru, tuh God El tiana topkolos, Mweyen elos mwet koluk ac inse fulat.
13 Surely vanity God doth not hear, And the Mighty doth not behold it.
Wangin sripen pang lalos uh; God Kulana El tiana liyalos, ku lohng pusralos.
14 Yea, though thou sayest thou dost not behold Him, Judgment [is] before Him, and stay for Him.
“Job, kom fahk mu kom tia ku in liye God; Tusruktu, kom in mongfisrasr ac tupan. Top lal nu sum uh oasr yorol.
15 And, now, because there is not, He hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity.
In nunak lom kom mu God El ac tiana kalyei mwet, Ac kom mu El tia arulana lohang nu ke ma koluk uh.
16 And Job [with] vanity doth open his mouth, Without knowledge words he multiplieth.
Wangin sripa kom in nuna kaskas na; Kalem tari lah kom tia etu ma kom fahk an.”
