Job 35
1 After this, Eliu again spoke in this way:
Elihu loh koep a doo tih,
2 Does it seem right to you in your thoughts, that you should say, “I am more just than God?”
“'Patheni lakah kamah duengnah ngai,’ na ti te tiktamnah la na poek a te?
3 For you said, “Having done what is right does not please you,” and, “How will it benefit you, if I sin?”
'Ka tholhnah lamloh nang hamla balae a hmaiben tih balae a hoeikhang,’ na ti.
4 And so, I will respond to your words, and to your friends who are with you.
Namah neh na taengkah na hui rhoek kah olthui te ka thuung eh.
5 Look up towards heaven and consider; also, think about the sky, which is higher than you.
Vaan ke paelki lamtah hmu van lah. Nang lakah aka sang khomong ke dan lah.
6 If you sin, how will it hurt him? And if your iniquities are multiplied, what will you do against him?
Na tholh koinih amah te metlam a ben eh? Na boekoeknah pungtai koinih amah taengah balae a saii eh.
7 Furthermore, if you act justly, what will you give him, or what will he receive from your hand?
Na tang atah amah taengah balae na paek? Na kut lamloh balae a loh?
8 Your impiety may hurt a man who is like you, though your justice may help the son of the man.
Nang bang, na halangnah khaw hlang ham tih na duengnah khaw hlang capa ham ni.
9 Because of the multitude of false accusers, they will cry out; and they will lament because of the strong arm of the tyrants.
Hnaemtaeknah cungkuem hmuiah aka tlung bantha lamloh bombih hamla pang uh.
10 Yet he has not said: “Where is God, who made me, who has given songs in the night,
Tedae, “Kai aka saii tih khoyin ah laa aka pae Pathen te ta?
11 who teaches us in addition to the beasts of the earth, and who educates us along with the birds of the air?”
Diklai rhamsa lakah mamih n'cang puei tih vaan kah vaa lakah mamih n'cueih sak,’ a ti moenih.
12 There they will cry, and he will not heed them, because of the arrogance of the wicked.
Pang uh pahoi cakhaw boethae rhoek kah hoemdamnah hmai ah tah a doo moenih.
13 Therefore, God does not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into each and every case.
Patheni loh a poeyoek la hnatun pawt tih Tlungthang long khaw a hmuhming moenih.
14 And so, when you say, “He does not examine,” be judged before him, but wait for him.
A hmuhming pawt tih na thui vaeng aisat, dumlai pataeng amah mikhmuh ah a pha dongah amah mah rhingda laeh.
15 For, at the present time, he does not bring forth his fury, nor does he punish sin exceedingly.
Tedae a thintoek te cawh voel pawt oeh coeng tih halangnah te khaw ming voel pawh.
16 Therefore, Job has opened his mouth in vain and has multiplied words without knowledge.
Job loh a honghi la a ka a ang tih mingnah om pawt ah a olthui yet,” a ti.
