Joba 42

1 Te phoeiah Job loh BOEIPA te a doo tih,

Then Job answered the Lord.

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

“I know you can do anything. No one can prevent you doing what you want.

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 questions my wisdom by talking so ignorantly?’ I was speaking about things I didn't 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 told me, ‘Listen to me, I am going to speak. I am going to question you, and you must answer me.’

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

Before, I had only heard about you, but now I've seen you for myself.

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

That is why I'm sorry for what I said, 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 finished speaking to Job he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends because you have not told the truth about me, as my servant Job did.

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 take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job, and you shall offer a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray on your behalf and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your foolishness, because you have not told the truth about me, as my servant Job did.”

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 did what the Lord commanded them, and the Lord accepted Job's prayer.

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.

The Lord restored Job's prosperity when he prayed for his friends, and gave him 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.

Then all his brothers and sisters and friends he'd previously known came and ate with him at his home. They showed him sympathy and comforted him because of all the trouble the Lord had caused him. Each one of them gave him money 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.

The Lord blessed the last part of Job's life more than the first part. Now he owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 teams of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.

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

Job 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.

Job called the first daughter Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the 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.

Nowhere in all the land were there women as beautiful as Job's daughters, and Job gave them the same inheritance as 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.

Job lived 140 years after this, seeing his children, and grandchildren, in fact four generations.

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

Then Job died at an old age, having lived a very full life.
