< Job 35 >
1 Na Elihu el sifilpa fahk:
Moreover Elihu answered and said,
2 “Ku kom nunku mu ma se inge suwohs Ke kom fahk mu, ‘Nga suwohs ye mutun God.’
Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?
3 Ku ke kom siyuk sin God, ‘Nga fin tia oru ma koluk, mea ac wo nu sik?’
For thou hast asked of what profit it is unto thee: what do I gain more than if I had sinned?
4 Nga ac topuk kom, ac mwet kawuk lom ingan pac.
I will reply to thee in words, and to thy companions with thee.
5 “Ngetak liye acn lucng! Liye fulatiyen pukunyeng uh!
Look unto the heavens and see; and survey the skies: they are higher than thou.
6 Kom fin orekma koluk, God El tiana akkolukyeyuk kac. Kom fin oru ma koluk pacl pus, ya ma inge ac aklokoalokyal?
If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? If thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
7 Ya kom kasru God kom fin arulana orek suwohs? Wangin ma God El enenu sum.
If thou be righteous, what givest thou to him? or what doth he receive of thy hand?
8 Mwet uh pa ac keok ke ma koluk kom oru uh, Ac ma wo kom oru uh ac kasru pac mwet.
Thy wickedness [may affect] a man as thou [art], and thy righteousness a son of man.
9 “Ke akkeokyeyuk mwet uh, elos ac sasao; Ac elos pang tuh in oasr mwet kasrelos.
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry; they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty:
10 Tuh elos tia ngetang nu sin God su oralosla, Su sang soko on in finsrak nu selos ke pacl upa nu selos.
But none saith, Where is God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night,
11 Elos tia nget nu sin God su ase etauk nu sesr, Etauk liki kutena kosro, ku won.
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowl of the heavens?
12 Elos pang in suk kasru, tuh God El tiana topkolos, Mweyen elos mwet koluk ac inse fulat.
There they cry, and he answereth not, because of the pride of evil men.
13 Wangin sripen pang lalos uh; God Kulana El tiana liyalos, ku lohng pusralos.
Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
14 “Job, kom fahk mu kom tia ku in liye God; Tusruktu, kom in mongfisrasr ac tupan. Top lal nu sum uh oasr yorol.
Although thou sayest thou dost not see him, judgment is before him, therefore wait for him.
15 In nunak lom kom mu God El ac tiana kalyei mwet, Ac kom mu El tia arulana lohang nu ke ma koluk uh.
But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, doth not [Job] know [his] great arrogancy?
16 Wangin sripa kom in nuna kaskas na; Kalem tari lah kom tia etu ma kom fahk an.”
For Job hath opened his mouth in vanity, and made words abundant without knowledge.
