Job 2
1 Ni kalah nito naah, Angraeng hmaa ah amtueng hanah Sithaw ih caanawk to angzoh o, Setan doeh Angraeng hmaa ah amtueng hanah nihcae hoi nawnto angzoh toeng.
One day the heavenly beings came to present themselves to the Lord, and Satan came with them to present himself to the Lord.
2 Angraeng mah Setan khaeah, naa hoiah maw nang zoh? tiah a naa. Setan mah Angraeng khaeah, Long pum ahnuk ahmaa kam het nakung hoiah kang zoh, tiah a naa.
The Lord asked Satan, “What have you been doing?” “Traveling around on earth, going here and there,” Satan replied.
3 To pacoengah Angraeng mah Setan khaeah, Ka tamna Job ho na poek vai maw? Anih baktih kami long nuiah mi doeh om ai; anih loe coek koi om ai, katoeng kami ah oh, Sithaw to zit moe, kasae hmuen sak koeh ai kami ah oh; tidoeh na ai ah anih amrosak hanah kai nang zoek cadoeh, anih loe oepthok kami ah ni oh poe, tiah a naa.
“Have you noticed my servant Job?” asked the Lord. “There's no one like him on earth, a man of integrity who does what is right, who respects God and avoids evil. And he has kept his integrity, even though you wanted me to harm him for no reason.”
4 Setan mah Angraeng khaeah, Ahin hanah ahin, tiah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, kami maeto mah a tawnh ih hmuen to a hinghaih hanah paek boih tih.
“Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give up everything to save his life.
5 Toe vaihi na ban to phok ah loe, anih ih ngan hoi ahuh to sui ah, na hmaa roe ah nang hae kasae thui tih, tiah a naa.
But reach out and hurt his bones and his flesh, and he will definitely curse you to your face.”
6 Angraeng mah Setan khaeah, Khenah, anih loe na ban ah oh, toe a hinghaih to pathlung ah, tiah a naa.
So the Lord said to Satan, “Very well, you have the power to do whatever you want to him, but don't kill him.”
7 To pongah Setan loe Angraeng hmaa hoi tacawt moe, Job to khokpadae hoi lu khoek to ahlut mansak.
Then Satan left the Lord's presence and inflicted Job with horrible skin sores from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head.
8 Job loe tak tahawh haih hanah kakoi long laom to lak moe, maiphu thungah anghnut.
Job picked up a piece of broken pottery to scratch himself as he sat in ashes.
9 A zu mah anih khaeah, Katoeng kami ah maw na oh poe han vop? Sithaw to pasoih ah loe dueh khae, tiah a naa.
His wife said to him, “Are you still holding on to your integrity? Curse God and die!”
10 Toe anih mah a zu khaeah, Kamthu koek nongpata baktiah lok na paeh; Sithaw khae hoi kahoih hmuen a hak o baktih toengah, kasae hmuen doeh a hak o mak ai maw? tiah a naa. Hae hmuennawk boih a tongh, toe Job loe pahni hoiah mataeng doeh zaehaih sah ai.
But he told her, “You're talking just like any foolish woman would! Should we receive only good from God, and not evil?” Despite all this, Job said nothing sinful.
11 Job nuiah kaom kasae hmuennawk kawng to ampui thumtonawk mah thaih o; Teman acaeng Eliphaz, Shuh acaeng Bildad hoi Naamath acaeng Zophar cae loe angmacae im hoiah angzoh o; anih to palungset o haih moe, pathloep hanah ani to khaeh o.
When three of Job's friends heard of all the trouble that had happened to him, they each left their homes: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They met together and went to comfort and console him.
12 Nihcae mah kangthla hoiah khet o naah, Job to maat o ai boeh; nihcae loe tha hoiah qah o; angmacae ih kahni to asih o moe, angmacae lu nuiah krak hanah maiphu to van ah a haeh o.
When they saw Job from a distance they hardly recognized him. They broke out into loud wailing, tore their robes, and threw dust into the air over their heads.
13 To tiah nihcae mah Job to long ah ni sarihto hoi qum sarihto thung anghnut o haih, anih patangkhanghaih loe nat pae hmoek pongah, mi mah doeh anih to lok tapring o ai.
They sat down on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights. None of them said anything to him because they saw how badly he was suffering.
