< Job 35 >

1 Moreover Elihu, responded and said: —
Hichun Elihun aseijin:
2 This, dost thou think to be right? Thou hast said—My righteousness is more than GOD’S.
Pathen masanga keima hi chonpha kahi tia sei ding hi dih nakisah ham?
3 For thou dost say, How can one profit by thee? How can I benefit, more than by my sin?
Ijeh inem itile, chonphatna a hinkho aman hi ipi phatchomna kaneijem? Keija dinga phachom ipi um'em? tinjong nasei ji'e.
4 I, will answer thee plainly, and thy friends with thee.
Ken nadonbut ing ting chuleh naloi nagolho jousen jong na donbut uhen.
5 Look at the heavens and see, —and survey the skies—they are higher than thou.
Van thamjol khu ven lang, chule nachung langa meilhang ho khu ven.
6 If thou sinnest, what canst thou work against him? Or, if thy transgressions be multiplied, what canst thou do unto him?
Chonset bol ta le chun Pathen ichan geijin asuna dem? Avel vel in chonse ta le chun ama lungthim ichan gei asukha dem?
7 If thou art righteous, what canst thou give unto him? Or what, at thy hand, can he accept?
Chonphat bol hile chun ama a dinga thilpeh loupi khat ahidem? Ama chu ipi nape tadem?
8 Unto a man like thyself, might thy lawlessness [reach], and, unto a son of the earth-born, thy righteousness.
Ahipoi nang chonset chun nangma tobang mihem ho chun adoulel ahin, chule nathilpha bol jong chun mihem mama aphatchom pi sah ahi.
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions, [men] make outcry, They cry for help, by reason of the arm of the mighty;
Mihem techu bol gentheija aum teng ule apeng jah jeng jiuvin, mithahat thaneina noija chun apeng peng jiuve.
10 But none saith—Where is GOD my maker, Who giveth songs in the night;
Jan laileh la a hin saji pa eisempau Pathen chun hoiya umham ti jeng jong nadong kha pouve.
11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and, beyond the bird of the heavens, giveth us wisdom?
Ganchate sanga hoijo a eisem pau leh chunga leng vachate sanga chingjo a eisem pau chu hoiya umham?
12 There, [men] make outcry, and he answereth not, because of the arrogance of evil-doers.
Chule mihemte chu akiletsah jeh uvin aka teng uleh Pathen in adonbut jipoi.
13 Howbeit, vanity, will GOD not hear, Yea, the Almighty, will not regard it.
Ahinlah Pathen in ajah peh pouvin hatchungnung pa chun ngaisah in aneipoi tia seiding chu dihlou ahi.
14 How much less when thou sayest thou wilt not regard him! The cause, is before him, and thou must wait for him.
Nangin kamu theipoi tin naseije, ahinlah nanga hat le bou thudih chu hungdoh ding ahi.
15 But, now, because it is not so, [thou sayest] —His anger hath punished, and yet hath he not at all known of transgression;
Nangin michonse ho chu lunghang in alethuhpoi natin chule migiloute ngaisah in aneipoi tin naseije.
16 Thus, Job, vainly openeth his mouth, Without knowledge, he multiplieth words.
Ahinlah Job nangin thu homkeu jeng naseiyin, mingol khat bangin thu naseije.
