Job 35

World English Bible

Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)

1Moreover Elihu answered,

1Elihu mah,

2“Do you think this to be your right, or do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s,’

2hae lok loe toeng, tiah na poek maw? Sithaw pongah ka toeng kue, tiah na poek maw? tiah a naa.

3that you ask, ‘What advantage will it be to you? What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’

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.

4I will answer you, and your companions with you.

4Nangmah hoi nam puinawk khaeah lok pathim han ka koeh.

5Look to the skies, and see. See the skies, which are higher than you.

5Vannawk ho doeng ah loe, khenah, nang pongah kasang kue tamainawk ho khenah.

6If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?

6Na zae nahaeloe, na zaehaih mah kawbangmaw Sithaw raihaih paek? Na zaehaih pop parai nahaeloe, to zaehaih mah Sithaw kawbangmaw amrosak?

7If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand?

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?

8Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are, and your righteousness may profit a son of man.

8Na sak ih sethaih mah nang baktih kami to raihaih paek; na toenghaih mah loe kami capa han amekhaih ohsak.

9“By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out. They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.

9Paroeai pacaekthlaekhaih tongh naah, nihcae mah tahmenhaih hnik o, Thacak Sithaw ih ban pongah nihcae mah abomhaih to hnik o.

10But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,

10Toe mi mah doeh, Aqum ah laa paekkung, kai sahkung Sithaw loe naa ah maw oh;

11who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?’

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.

12There they cry, but no one answers, because of the pride of evil men.

12Kasae kaminawk hoi amoek kaminawk lawkthuihaih lok Sithaw mah pathim pae ai.

13Surely God will not hear an empty cry, neither will the Almighty regard it.

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.

14How much less when you say you don’t see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him!

14Sithaw ka hnu ai, tiah na thuih cadoeh, anih hmaa ah lokcaekhaih to oh pongah, nang loe anih nuiah amha ah.

15But now, because he has not visited in his anger, neither does he greatly regard arrogance,

15Vaihi loe palung a phuihaih hoiah dan na paek mak ai; sakpazaehaih to pakuem khruek mak ai boeh, tiah a poek pongah,

16therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, and he multiplies words without knowledge.”

16Job loe avang ai lok to thuih moe, panoekhaih tawn ai ah pop parai loknawk to a thuih, tiah a naa.
