Job 1
1 Uz prae ah Job, tiah kawk ih kami maeto oh; to kami loe coek koi om ai, katoeng kami ah oh; Sithaw zit moe, kahoih ai hmuen ayae koeh kami ah oh.
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil.
2 Anih loe capa sarihto hoi canu thumto sak.
There were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
3 Tuu sang sarih, kaengkuu hrang sang thum, laikok atok thaih maitawtae cumvai pangato, laa hrang cumvai pangato tawnh moe, tamna paroeai a tawnh; anih loe ni angyae bang ih kaminawk boih thungah kalen koek ah oh.
His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.
4 Anih ih capanawk loe saning kruek, angmacae tapenhaih niah angmacae im ah buhraenghaih poih to sak o, to naah a tanuh thumtonawk doeh, nawnto buhcaak hanah kawk o toeng.
His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his birthday; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5 Job mah ka caanawk loe palungthin thungah Sithaw to kasae thuih o moe, zae o moeng boeh mue, tiah a poek pongah, buhraenghaih poih boeng pacoengah, nihcae to kawk moe, ciimcaisak; nihcae boih hanah hmai angbawnhaih to akhawnbang kruek a sak pae. Job mah to tiah sak toepsoep.
It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts.” Job did so continually.
6 Nito naah Sithaw ih caanawk loe Angraeng hmaa ah angphong hanah angzoh o, to naah Setan doeh nihcae salakah angzoh toeng.
Now on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before the LORD, Satan also came amongst them.
7 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 said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, “From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”
8 To pacoengah Angraeng mah Setan khaeah, Ka tamna Job ho na poek vai maw? Long nuiah anih baktih kami 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, tiah a naa.
The LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil.”
9 Setan mah Angraeng khaeah, Job loe tidoeh na ai ah Sithaw to zit maw?
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing?
10 Anih hoi a imthung takoh, a tawnh ih hmuennawk boih loe sipae baktiah na pakaa pae na ai maw? A toksakhaih nuiah tahamhoihaih na paek pongah, anih loe prae thungah hmuenmae paroeai angraeng boeh.
Haven’t you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11 Toe vaihiah na ban phok ah loe, a tawnh ih hmuennawk boih paro pae ah, anih mah na hmaa roe ah nang to kasae thui tih, tiah a naa.
But stretch out your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face.”
12 Angraeng mah Setan khaeah, Khenah, a tawnh ih hmuennawk boih na ban ah oh; toe angmah to loe na ban hoi sui hmah, tiah a naa.
The LORD said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power. Only on himself don’t stretch out your hand.” So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.
13 Nito naah Job capa hoi canunawk loe amya nongpa kacoeh koek im ah buhcaak o moe, misurtui a naek o nathuem ah,
It fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
14 Job khaeah laicaeh maeto angzoh moe, Na tamnanawk loe maitawtae hoiah laikok atok o moe, a taengah laa hrangnawk rawkcak caak o li naah,
that a messenger came to Job, and said, “The oxen were ploughing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,
15 Sabean kaminawk to angzoh o moe, tuk o pacoengah, maetawtaenawk hoi laa hrangnawk to lak pae o king; ue, nihcae mah na tamnanawk to sumsen hoiah hum o, nang khaeah tamthang thuih hanah kai khue ni loih, tiah a naa.
and the Sabeans attacked, and took them away. Yes, they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
16 Anih mah lokthuih li naah, kalah laicaeh maeto angzoh let moe, Van hoiah Sithaw ih hmai krak tathuk moe, nang ih tuunawk hoi na tamnanawk to kangh boih, nang khaeah tamthang thuih hanah kai khue ni loih, tiah a naa.
While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of God has fallen from the sky, and has burnt up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
17 Anih mah lokthuih li naah, kalah laicaeh maeto angzoh let moe, Khaldea kaminawk abu thumto ah angzoh o, kaengkuu hrangnawk to lak o moe, hoih o ving boeh, na tamnanawk loe sumsen hoiah hum o; nang khaeah tamthang thuih hanah kai khue ni loih, tiah a naa.
While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans made three bands, and swept down on the camels, and have taken them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
18 Anih mah lokthuih li naah, laicaeh kalah maeto angzoh let, laicaeh mah anih khaeah, Na capa hoi na canunawk loe amya kacoeh koek im ah buhcaak o moe, misurtui naek o nathuem ah,
While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
19 khenah, praezaek hoiah takhi to song moe, im to hmuh phaeng, im mah nawktanawk to taeh pongah, nihcae loe duek o boih; nang khaeah tamthang thuih hanah kai khue ni loih, tiah a naa.
and behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
20 Hae lok thaih naah, Job loe angthawk moe, angmah ih kahni to asih, sam to aah moe, long ah tabok hoiah Sithaw to a bok,
Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshipped.
21 anih mah, Kam no zok thung hoi bangkrai ah kang zoh, bangkrai ah kam laem let han; Angraeng mah ang paek moe, Angraeng mah lak let boeh; Angraeng ih ahmin tahamhoihaih om nasoe, tiah thuih.
He said, “Naked I came out of my mother’s womb, and naked will I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the LORD’s name.”
22 Anih loe hae baktih tahamsethaih hmuennawk boih to tongh, toe Job loe zaehaih sah ai; Sithaw doeh kasae thui ai.
In all this, Job didn’t sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.
