< 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 [thy] right, [or] sayest thou, 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?’
That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee? [and], What profit shall I have, 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 unto the heavens, and see; and behold the skies, which 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 hast sinned, what doest thou against him? and 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 him? or what receiveth he of thine 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 hurt] a man as thou art; and thy righteousness [may profit] 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 out; they cry for help 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 fowls of heaven?
12 Elos pang in suk kasru, tuh God El tiana topkolos, Mweyen elos mwet koluk ac inse fulat.
There they cry, but none giveth answer, 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.
How much less when thou sayest thou beholdest him not, the cause is before him, and thou waitest 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, neither doth he greatly regard arrogance;
16 Wangin sripa kom in nuna kaskas na; Kalem tari lah kom tia etu ma kom fahk an.”
Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vanity; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
