Job 35

1 Na Elihu el sifilpa fahk:

Moreover Elihu answered,

2 “Ku kom nunku mu ma se inge suwohs Ke kom fahk mu, ‘Nga suwohs ye mutun God.’

“Do you think this to be your right, or do you say, ‘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 you ask, ‘What advantage will it be to you? What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’

4 Nga ac topuk kom, ac mwet kawuk lom ingan pac.

I will answer you, and your companions with you.

5 “Ngetak liye acn lucng! Liye fulatiyen pukunyeng uh!

Look to the skies, and see. See the skies, which are 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 effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, 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 do you give him? Or what does 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, and your 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 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 the animals of the earth, and 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, but no one answers, 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 an empty cry, 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 you say you don’t see him. The cause is before him, and you 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 has not visited in his anger, neither does he greatly regard arrogance,

16 Wangin sripa kom in nuna kaskas na; Kalem tari lah kom tia etu ma kom fahk an.”

therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, and he multiplies words without knowledge.”
