< Job 35 >

1 Na Elihu el sifilpa fahk:
Moreover Elihu proceeded, and said:
2 “Ku kom nunku mu ma se inge suwohs Ke kom fahk mu, ‘Nga suwohs ye mutun God.’
Dost thou then think this to be right? Thou hast said, “I am more righteous than God.”
3 Ku ke kom siyuk sin God, ‘Nga fin tia oru ma koluk, mea ac wo nu sik?’
For thou askest, “What advantage have I? What have I gained, more than if I had sinned?”
4 Nga ac topuk kom, ac mwet kawuk lom ingan pac.
I will answer thee, And thy companions with thee.
5 “Ngetak liye acn lucng! Liye fulatiyen pukunyeng uh!
Look up to the heavens, and see! And behold the clouds, which are high above thee!
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 to him?
7 Ya kom kasru God kom fin arulana orek suwohs? Wangin ma God El enenu sum.
If thou art righteous, what dost thou give him? Or what receiveth he at 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 injureth only a man like thyself, And thy righteousness profiteth only a son of man.
9 “Ke akkeokyeyuk mwet uh, elos ac sasao; Ac elos pang tuh in oasr mwet kasrelos.
The oppressed cry out on account of the multitude of wrongs; They cry aloud on account 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 birds of heaven?”
12 Elos pang in suk kasru, tuh God El tiana topkolos, Mweyen elos mwet koluk ac inse fulat.
There they cry aloud on account of the pride of the wicked; But he giveth no answer.
13 Wangin sripen pang lalos uh; God Kulana El tiana liyalos, ku lohng pusralos.
For God will not hear the vain supplication, Nor 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.
Much less when thou sayest thou canst not see him: Justice is with him, —only wait thou 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, Nor taken strict note of transgression,
16 Wangin sripa kom in nuna kaskas na; Kalem tari lah kom tia etu ma kom fahk an.”
Therefore hath Job opened his mouth rashly, And multiplied words without knowledge.
