< Job 35 >
1 Na Elihu el sifilpa fahk:
Elihu spoke moreover, 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 saidst, What advantage will it be to thee? [and], What profit shall I have, [if I be cleansed] from my sin?
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 to the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds [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 sinnest, what doest thou against him? or [if] thy transgressions are 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 givest thou to him? or what receiveth he from 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 hurt] a man as thou [art]: and thy righteousness [may profit] the 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 make [the oppressed] to 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 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.
Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, [yet] judgment [is] before him; therefore trust thou in 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 [it is] not [so], he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth [it] not in great extremity:
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 vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
