Joba 42

1 Te phoeiah Job loh BOEIPA te a doo tih,

Then Job, responding to the Lord, said:

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

I know that you are able to do all things, and that no thoughts are hidden from you.

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.

So, who is it that would disguise a lack of knowledge as counsel? Therefore, I have been speaking foolishly, about things whose measure exceeds my knowledge.

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

Listen, and I will speak. I will question you, and you may answer me.

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

By paying attention with the ear, I have heard you, but now my eye sees you.

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

Therefore, I find myself reprehensible, and I will do penance in embers 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.

But after the Lord had finished speaking these words to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Themanite: My wrath has been kindled against you, and against your two friends, because you have not been speaking correctly in my eyes, as my servant Job has done.

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.

Therefore, have seven bulls and seven rams brought to you, and go to my servant Job, and offer these as a holocaust for yourselves. But also, my servant Job will pray for you; I will accept his face, so that foolishness will not be imputed to you. For you have not been speaking correctly about me, as my servant Job has done.

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 Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Zophar the Naamathite departed, and they did just as the Lord had spoken to them, and the Lord accepted the face of Job.

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.

Likewise, the Lord was moved by the repentance of Job, when he prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave to Job twice as much as he had before.

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.

Yet all his brethren came to him, and all his sisters, and everyone who had known him before, and they ate bread with him in his house. They also shook their heads over him and comforted him, because of all the bad things that God had inflicted on him. And each one of them gave him one female sheep, and one earring of gold.

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.

And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job even more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand pairs of oxen, and a thousand she-donkeys.

13 A taengah capa parhih neh canu pathum a khueh bal.

And he had seven sons and three daughters.

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

And he called the name of one, Daylight, and the name of the second, Cinnamon, and the name of the third, Horn of Cosmetics.

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.

And, in the whole world, there were not found women so beautiful as the daughters of Job. And so their father gave them an inheritance along with 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.

But Job lived long after these events, for a hundred and forty years, and he saw his children, and his children’s children, all the way to the fourth generation,

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

and he died an old man and full of days.
