Joba 42

1 Te phoeiah Job loh BOEIPA te a doo tih,

Then Job replied to the LORD:

2 “A cungkuem he na noeng tih namah kah thuepnah oel thai pawh tila ka ming rhoe, ka ming.

“I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted.

3 Mingnah om mueh ah cilsuep aka dael he unim? Ka thui tangloeng ngawn dae ka yakming moenih. Kai lamlong tah khobaerhambae coeng tih ka ming voel moenih.

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 Hnatun dae lamtah ka thui dae eh. Nang kan dawt vaengah mah kai m'ming sak.

You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak. I will question you, and you shall inform Me.’

5 Hna dongah olthang la nang kan yaak dae ka mik loh nang m'hmuh coeng.

My ears had heard of You, but now my eyes have seen You.

6 Te dongah ka kohnue coeng tih laipi neh hmaiphu khuiah damti coeng.

Therefore I retract my words, and I repent in dust and ashes.”

7 BOEIPA loh Job taengah hekah ol he a thui hnukah tah BOEIPA loh Temani Eliphaz te, “Ka thintoek he nang taeng neh na hui rhoi taengah sai coeng. Ka sal Job bangla kai kawng he a sikim la na thui uh moenih.

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 Te dongah namamih ham vaito pumrhih neh tuital pumrhih te lo uh lamtah ka sal Job taengla cet uh laeh. Te vaengah namamih hamla hmueihhlutnah nawn uh lamtah ka sal Job te nangmih ham thangthui saeh. Anih maelhmai tah ka doe vetih nangmih taengah boethaehalang ka saii mahpawh. Ka sal Job bangla kai kawng he a sikim la na thui uh moenih,” a ti nah.

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 Te phoeiah Temani Eliphaz, Shuhi Bildad, Naamathi Zophar tah cet uh tih BOEIPA loh amih taengah a thui te a saii uh. Te daengah ni BOEIPA loh Job kah maelhmai te a doe pah.

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 A hui rhoek ham a thangthui phoeiah tah Job kah a koe, a koe te BOEIPA loh a mael pah. Te boeih te BOEIPA loh Job taengah rhaepnit la a koei pah.

After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his prosperity and doubled his former possessions.

11 Te vaengah a manuca boeih neh a tanu, a tanu boeih khaw, lamhma ah anih aka ming boeih khaw anih taengla cet uh. A im khuiah amah neh buh a caak uh. Anih te a suem uh tih a soah BOEIPA loh a thoeng sak yoethae cungkuem ham khaw anih te a hloep uh. Te vaengah anih te tangka phikat rhip neh sui hnaii pakhat rhip a paek uh.

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 BOEIPA loh Job te a tongnah kah lakah a hmailong te yoethen a paek. Te dongah a taengah boiva thawng hlai li, kalauk thawng rhuk, vaito a rhoi thawngkhat, laak thawng khat a khueh.

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 A taengah capa parhih neh canu pathum a khueh bal.

And he also had seven sons and three daughters.

14 A cuek ming te Jemimah, a pabae ming te Keziah, a pathum ming te Kerenhappukh a sui.

He named his first daughter Jemimah, his second Keziah, and his third Keren-happuch.

15 Job canu rhoek bangla diklai pum ah huta sakthen a phoe moenih. Amih te khaw a napa loh a nganpa rhoek lakli ah rho a paek.

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 Te phoeiah Job te kum ya sawmli hing. A ca rhoek te khaw, a ca kah a ca khaw a khong li duela a hmuh tih a hmuh.

After this, Job lived 140 years and saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.

17 Te dongah Job tah patong tih a khohnin a cup la duek.

And so Job died, old and full of years.
