Joba 42

1 Te phoeiah Job loh BOEIPA te a doo tih,

Then Job answered Yahweh and said,

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, that no purpose of yours can be stopped.

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.

'Who is this who without knowledge conceals plans?' Indeed, I have spoken things that I did not understand, things too difficult for me to understand, which I did not know about.

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

You said to me, 'Listen, now, and I will speak; I will ask you things, and you will tell me.'

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

I had heard about you by my ear's hearing, but now my eye sees you.

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

So I despise myself; 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.

It came about that after he had said these words to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of me what is right, 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.

Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer, so that I may not deal with you after your folly. You have not said what is right 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 Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as Yahweh had commanded them, and Yahweh accepted 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.

When Job prayed for his friends, Yahweh restored his fortunes. Yahweh gave him twice as much as he had possessed 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 Job's brothers, and all his sisters, and all who knew him before, came to him and ate food with him in his house. They showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the disasters that Yahweh had brought upon him, and each of them gave Job a piece of silver and a ring 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.

Yahweh blessed the final end of Job's life more than the first; he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.

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

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 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.

In all the land no women were found as beautiful as Job's daughters. 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.

After this, Job lived 140 years; he saw his sons and his sons' sons, up to four generations.

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

Then Job died, being old and full of days.
