Job 35
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Elihu mah,
1And Elihu went on to say:
2hae lok loe toeng, tiah na poek maw? Sithaw pongah ka toeng kue, tiah na poek maw? tiah a naa.
2“Do you think this is just? You say, ‘I am more righteous than God.’
3Nang mah, Tih amekhaih maw na hnu tih? Nang mah, Tih atho maw ka hak tih? Zaehaih ka sah ai pongah tih atho maw ka hak tih? tiah na thuih.
3For you ask, ‘What does it profit me, and what benefit do I gain apart from sin?’
4Nangmah hoi nam puinawk khaeah lok pathim han ka koeh.
4I will reply to you and to your friends as well.
5Vannawk ho doeng ah loe, khenah, nang pongah kasang kue tamainawk ho khenah.
5Look to the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds high above you.
6Na zae nahaeloe, na zaehaih mah kawbangmaw Sithaw raihaih paek? Na zaehaih pop parai nahaeloe, to zaehaih mah Sithaw kawbangmaw amrosak?
6If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him? If you multiply your transgressions, what do you do to Him?
7Katoeng kami ah na oh pongah, Anih hanah tih hmuen maw na paek boeh? To tih ai boeh loe na ban hoiah Anih mah tih hmuen maw talawk vai boeh?
7If you are righteous, what do you give Him, or what does He receive from your hand?
8Na sak ih sethaih mah nang baktih kami to raihaih paek; na toenghaih mah loe kami capa han amekhaih ohsak.
8Your wickedness affects only a man like yourself, and your righteousness only a son of man.
9Paroeai pacaekthlaekhaih tongh naah, nihcae mah tahmenhaih hnik o, Thacak Sithaw ih ban pongah nihcae mah abomhaih to hnik o.
9Men cry out under great oppression; they plead for relief from the arm of the mighty.
10Toe mi mah doeh, Aqum ah laa paekkung, kai sahkung Sithaw loe naa ah maw oh;
10But no one asks, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives us songs in the night,
11long ih moinawk pong pop kue ah aicae patukkung, van ih tavaanawk pongah aicae palungha kue ah sahkung loe naa ah maw oh? tiah thui o ai.
11who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the air?’
12Kasae kaminawk hoi amoek kaminawk lawkthuihaih lok Sithaw mah pathim pae ai.
12There they cry out, but He does not answer, because of the pride of evil men.
13Sithaw mah avang ai kaminawk tahmenhnikhaih lok to tahngai pae mak ai; Thacak Sithaw mah to baktih loknawk to tiah doeh sah pae mak ai.
13Surely God does not listen to empty pleas, and the Almighty does not take note of it.
14Sithaw ka hnu ai, tiah na thuih cadoeh, anih hmaa ah lokcaekhaih to oh pongah, nang loe anih nuiah amha ah.
14How much less, then, when you say that you do not see Him, that your case is before Him and you must wait for Him,
15Vaihi loe palung a phuihaih hoiah dan na paek mak ai; sakpazaehaih to pakuem khruek mak ai boeh, tiah a poek pongah,
15and further, that in His anger He has not punished or taken much notice of folly!
16Job loe avang ai lok to thuih moe, panoekhaih tawn ai ah pop parai loknawk to a thuih, tiah a naa.
16So Job opens his mouth in vain and multiplies words without knowledge.”
