< Job 42 >

1 To naah Job mah Angraeng khaeah,
Then Job replied to the LORD:
2 hmuennawk boih na sak thaih, tito ka panoek; hmuen sak han nam sakhaih mi mah doeh pakaa thai ai, tito ka panoek.
“I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted.
3 Panoekhaih tawn ai ah ka thuih ih lok anghmasak kami loe mi aa? tiah lok nang dueng; kai loe ka panoek ai ih loknawk, ka panoek ai ih hmuennawk hoi paroeai dawnrai koi hmuennawk to ka thuih moeng boeh.
You asked, ‘Who is this who conceals My counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.
4 Nang mah, Tahngai ah, lok kang thuih han; kang dueng ih lok to na pathim ah, tiah nang naa.
You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak. I will question you, and you shall inform Me.’
5 Na thuih ih lok to ka naa mah thaih boeh, vaihi ka mik mah nang to hnuk boeh.
My ears had heard of You, but now my eyes have seen You.
6 To pongah kaimah hoi kaimah hae panuet moe, dawnpakhuemhaih amtuengsak hanah, maiphu hoi vaipoep nuiah kang hnut boeh, tiah a naa.
Therefore I retract my words, and I repent in dust and ashes.”
7 Angraeng mah Job khaeah hae loknawk thuih pacoengah, Angraeng mah Teman acaeng Eliphaz khaeah, Nang hoi nam pui hnik nuiah palung ka phui; ka tamna Job mah thuih ih lok baktiah, loktang ah kaom kai kawng to na thui hoi ai.
After the LORD had spoken these words to Job, He said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and your two friends. For you have not spoken about Me accurately, as My servant Job has.
8 To pongah vaihi maitaw tae sarihto hoi tuu tae sarihto lak pacoengah, ka tamna Job khaeah caeh oh loe, nangmacae hanah hmai angbawnhaih to sah oh; ka tamna Job mah nangcae han lawk na thui pae tih; anih lawkthuihaih to ka talawk pae han; toe ka tamna Job mah thuih ih lok baktiah, loktang ah kaom kai kawng to na thui hoi ai pongah, nam thu o haih atho to kang pathok han, tiah a naa.
So now, take seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. Then My servant Job will pray for you, for I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken accurately about Me, as My servant Job has.”
9 To pongah, Teman acaeng Eliphaz, Shuh acaeng Bildad hoi Namaath acaeng Zophar cae loe caeh o moe, Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah a sak o; to naah Angraeng mah Job lawkthuihaih to tahngaih pae.
So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD had told them; and the LORD accepted Job’s request.
10 Job mah ampuinawk han lawkthuih pae pacoengah, Angraeng mah canghniah tawnh ih hmuen pongah alet hnetto kamtlai ah angraenghaih to paek let.
After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his prosperity and doubled his former possessions.
11 To pacoengah angmah ih nawkamyanawk, a tanunawk, ampui kangzongnawk anih khaeah angzoh o moe, a im ah anih hoi nawnto buhcaakhaih to a sak o; Angraeng mah anih nuiah phaksak ih raihaih pongah nihcae mah anih to palungset o haih moe, pathloep o; nihcae boih mah sum kanglung phoisa hoi sui bantuek maeto anih hanah paqum pae o.
All his brothers and sisters and prior acquaintances came and dined with him in his house. They consoled him and comforted him over all the adversity that the LORD had brought upon him. And each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.
12 Hnukkhuem ah loe Angraeng mah Job hanah hmaloe ih pongah kamtlai ah tahamhoihaih to paek pongah, tuu sang hatlai palito, kaengkuu hrang sang tarukto, laikok atok thaih maitaw tae sangto hoi laa hrang sangto a tawnh.
So the LORD blessed Job’s latter days more than his first. He owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
13 Anih mah capa sarihto hoi canu thumto sak let.
And he also had seven sons and three daughters.
14 Canu kacoeh loe Jemima, hnetto haih loe Kezia, thumto haih loe Keren-Happuh, tiah ahmin phui.
He named his first daughter Jemimah, his second Keziah, and his third Keren-happuch.
15 Prae thung boih ah Job canu baktih kranghoih nongpata mi doeh om ai; nihcae ih ampa Job loe a canunawk hanah, nihcae ih thangqoi nongpanawk hoi kangvan ah qawk to pazet pae.
No women as beautiful as Job’s daughters could be found in all the land, and their father granted them an inheritance among their brothers.
16 To pacoengah Job loe saning cumvai, quipalito hing; a caanawk hnuk pacoengah, a caanawk ih caa patoeng, adung pali karoek to hnuk vop.
After this, Job lived 140 years and saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.
17 Job loe saning akoep moe, mitong naah duek.
And so Job died, old and full of years.
