Joba 2
1 A tue a pha vaengah Pathen ca rhoek loh cet uh BOEIPA taengah pai uh. Te vaengah Satan khaw BOEIPA taengah pai hamla amih lakli ah cet.
And it happened [again] on a certain day, when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, that the Accuser also came in the midst of them to present himself before the Lord.
2 BOEIPA loh Satan te, “Me lamkah lae na pawk he,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Satan loh BOEIPA te a doo tih, “Diklai ah ka van thikthuek tih a khuiah aka pongpa lamloh,” a ti nah.
Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Whence comest thou now? And the Accuser answered the Lord, and said, From roaming over the earth, and from wandering through it.
3 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Satan te, “Ka sal Job ke na lungbuei ah na khueh a? Anih bangla a cuemthuek neh aka thuem, Pathen aka rhih tih boethae lamloh aka nong hlang he diklai ah om pawh. Anih tah a muelhtuetnah dongah cak pueng. Lunglilungla la anih dolh ham ni amah taengah kai nan vueh,” a ti nah.
Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Hast thou directed thy attention toward my servant Job: for there is none like him on the earth, a man perfect and upright, who feareth God, and escheweth evil? and he is still holding fast to his integrity, and thou hast incited me against him, to destroy him without cause.
4 Satan loh BOEIPA te a doo tih, “A vin ham a vin coeng tih a hinglu ham te hlang taengla boeih a paek ni.
Then answered the Accuser the Lord, and said, Skin for skin: yea, all that a man hath will he give in behalf of his life.
5 Tedae na kut hlah laeh lamtah a rhuh neh a saa te ben lah saeh, na mikhmuh ah nang te n'uem rhet mahpawh,” a ti nah.
But stretch only forth thy hand, and touch his bone and his flesh, and [see] whether he will not renounce thee to thy face.
6 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Satan te, “Anih te namah kut ah om dae a hinglu te tah ngaithuen,” a ti nah.
Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Behold, he is in thy hand: only take care of his life.
7 Te dongah Satan te BOEIPA mikhmuh lamloh khoe uh tih Job te buhlut thae neh a kho khopha lamloh a luki duela a ngawn.
Thereupon went the Accuser forth from the presence of the Lord, and he smote Job with a sore inflammation, from the sole of his foot unto the crown of his head.
8 Te te khoeih hamla amah loh paikaek a loh tih hmaiphu khui ah ngol.
And [Job] took himself a potsherd to scrape himself there with, while he was sitting down among the ashes.
9 Te vaengah anih te a yuu loh, “Nang loh na muelhtuetnah te na pom bal pueng, Pathen te uem lamtah duek pahoi,” a ti nah.
Then said his wife unto him, Art thou still holding fast to thy integrity? renounce God, and die.
10 Tedae amah te na ang cal la na cal. Pathen taeng lamloh hnothen n'doe tih yoethae he n'doe mahpawt nim?” a ti nah. Te boeih khuiah pataeng Job he a hmuilai nen khaw a tholh moenih.
But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the worthless women would speak. What? should we accept the good alone, from God, and the evil we should not accept? With all this did Job not sin with his lips.
11 Anih soah yoethae cungkuem a pai he Job kah a hui pathum loh a yaak. Te vaengah Temani Eliphaz, Shuhi Bildad, Naamathi Zophar te amah hmuen lamloh rhip cet uh tih Job suem ham neh hloep ham aka cet la tun hum uh.
When now the three friends of Job had heard of all this evil that was come over him, they came every one from his own place, Eliphaz the Themanite, and Bildad the Shuchite, and Zophar the Na'amthite; and they met together to come to condole with him and to comfort him.
12 A hla lamloh a mik te a huel uh vaengah amah te hmat uh pawh. Te dongah a ol a huel uh tih rhap uh. A hnikul te rhip a phen uh tih laipi te a lu soah vaan la a haeh uh.
And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and they recognised him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his robe, and strewed dust upon their heads toward heaven.
13 Anih te diklai dongah khothaih hnin rhih neh khoyin hnin rhih a ngol puei uh. Thakkhoeihnah loh mat a tluek te a hmuh dongah a taengah ol cal uh pawh.
They likewise sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights; but no one spoke a word unto him; for they saw that his pain was very great.
