Job 35

World English Bible

Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)

1Moreover Elihu answered,

1Elihu loh koep a doo tih,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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