Joba 35

Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)

King James Version with Apocrypha

1Elihu loh koep a doo tih,

1Elihu spake moreover, and said,

2“'Patheni lakah kamah duengnah ngai,’ na ti te tiktamnah la na poek a te?

2Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s?

3'Ka tholhnah lamloh nang hamla balae a hmaiben tih balae a hoeikhang,’ na ti.

3For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and , What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?

4Namah neh na taengkah na hui rhoek kah olthui te ka thuung eh.

4I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.

5Vaan ke paelki lamtah hmu van lah. Nang lakah aka sang khomong ke dan lah.

5Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.

6Na tholh koinih amah te metlam a ben eh? Na boekoeknah pungtai koinih amah taengah balae a saii eh.

6If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?

7Na tang atah amah taengah balae na paek? Na kut lamloh balae a loh?

7If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?

8Nang bang, na halangnah khaw hlang ham tih na duengnah khaw hlang capa ham ni.

8Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.

9Hnaemtaeknah cungkuem hmuiah aka tlung bantha lamloh bombih hamla pang uh.

9By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.

10Tedae, “Kai aka saii tih khoyin ah laa aka pae Pathen te ta?

10But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;

11Diklai rhamsa lakah mamih n'cang puei tih vaan kah vaa lakah mamih n'cueih sak,’ a ti moenih.

11Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?

12Pang uh pahoi cakhaw boethae rhoek kah hoemdamnah hmai ah tah a doo moenih.

12There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.

13Patheni loh a poeyoek la hnatun pawt tih Tlungthang long khaw a hmuhming moenih.

13Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

14A hmuhming pawt tih na thui vaeng aisat, dumlai pataeng amah mikhmuh ah a pha dongah amah mah rhingda laeh.

14Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.

15Tedae a thintoek te cawh voel pawt oeh coeng tih halangnah te khaw ming voel pawh.

15But now, because it is not so , he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:

16Job loh a honghi la a ka a ang tih mingnah om pawt ah a olthui yet,” a ti.

16Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
