< Job 35 >

1 Na Elihu el sifilpa fahk:
Moreover Elihu continued, saying,
2 “Ku kom nunku mu ma se inge suwohs Ke kom fahk mu, ‘Nga suwohs ye mutun God.’
“Do you think this is just when you say, 'My right before God'?
3 Ku ke kom siyuk sin God, ‘Nga fin tia oru ma koluk, mea ac wo nu sik?’
For you ask, 'What use is it to me?' and, 'Would I be better off if I had sinned?'
4 Nga ac topuk kom, ac mwet kawuk lom ingan pac.
I will answer you, both you and your friends.
5 “Ngetak liye acn lucng! Liye fulatiyen pukunyeng uh!
Look up at the sky, and see it; see the sky, which is higher than you.
6 Kom fin orekma koluk, God El tiana akkolukyeyuk kac. Kom fin oru ma koluk pacl pus, ya ma inge ac aklokoalokyal?
If you have sinned, what harm do you do to God? If your transgressions pile up high, what do you do to him?
7 Ya kom kasru God kom fin arulana orek suwohs? Wangin ma God El enenu sum.
If you are righteous, what can you give to him? What will he receive from your hand?
8 Mwet uh pa ac keok ke ma koluk kom oru uh, Ac ma wo kom oru uh ac kasru pac mwet.
Your wickedness may hurt a man, as you are a man, and your righteousness might benefit another son of man.
9 “Ke akkeokyeyuk mwet uh, elos ac sasao; Ac elos pang tuh in oasr mwet kasrelos.
Because of many acts of oppression, people cry out; they call for help from the arms of mighty men.
10 Tuh elos tia ngetang nu sin God su oralosla, Su sang soko on in finsrak nu selos ke pacl upa nu selos.
But no one says, 'Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,
11 Elos tia nget nu sin God su ase etauk nu sesr, Etauk liki kutena kosro, ku won.
who teaches us more than he teaches the beasts of the earth, and who makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?'
12 Elos pang in suk kasru, tuh God El tiana topkolos, Mweyen elos mwet koluk ac inse fulat.
There they cry out, but God gives no answer because of the pride of evil men.
13 Wangin sripen pang lalos uh; God Kulana El tiana liyalos, ku lohng pusralos.
God will certainly not hear a foolish cry; the Almighty will pay no attention to 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 will he answer you if you say that you do not see him, that your case is before him, and that you are waiting 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.
Now you say that his anger does not punish, and he does not take even a litte notice of transgression.
16 Wangin sripa kom in nuna kaskas na; Kalem tari lah kom tia etu ma kom fahk an.”
So Job opens his mouth only to speak foolishness; he piles up words without knowledge.”
