< Job 1 >

1 Phatkhat hin Uz gam sunga Job kiti mikhat ana cheng in, amapa chu nolnabei leh lungtheng sel ahi. Amapan Pathen aging in thilphalou jousea kona kikangse jinga um ahi.
There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and Job was blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned from evil.
2 Joh hin chapa sagi le chanu thum aneiye.
There were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
3 Chule Job hin kelngoi sang sagi, sangongsao sang thum, bongchal kop janga, le sanganpi janga aneiye. Amapa hin soh jong tamtah anei ahi. Atahbeh in Job hi hiche gamkai sungse dinga ahaopen ahi.
He possessed seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred pairs of oxen, and five hundred donkeys and a great many servants. He was the man who was the greatest of all the people of the East.
4 Job chapate aphat lhingpen pen chun ainnuva nehkhom donkhom abol tenguleh, asopiu numei thumho jong chu golvah bolkhompi din akou jiuve.
On each son's assigned day, he would give a feast in his house. They would send and call for their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
5 Hiche golvah chu akichai teng nikho phabep jouleh Job chun achate athenso jin ahi. Job chu jingkah matah in athou jin khat cheh a din govam thilto abolpeh ji'e. Ajeh chu Job in hiti hin aseijin, “Kachate hi ana chonseuvin tin chule alungthim uva jong Pathen agaosap sao himai theijinte,” ati. Hiti hin Job in abol jing jenge.
When the days of the feast were over, Job would send for them and he would consecrate them. He would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings for each of his children, for he would say, “It may be that my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Job always did this.
6 Nikhat hi van thutanna in na thutanho ama ho cham chamin Pakai masanga ahung kikhomun chule hehhatpa Satan chu amaho toh ahung lhung khome.
Then it was the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Yahweh. Satan also came with them.
7 “Hoiya konna hung nahim?” tin Pakaiyin Satan adonge. Satan in Pakai adonbut in, Leiset chung kaga vet lhih lea, thilsoh jouse kaga vetle ahi.
Yahweh said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “From wandering on the earth, from going back and forth on it.”
8 Chuin Pakaiyin Satan jah a, “Kalhachapa Job khu nahet em? Leiset a dinga miphapen ahi. Amahi nolnabei, milungthengsel ahin, aman Pathen aging in chule thilphalou jousea konin akikangsen ahi,” ati.
Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and turns from evil.”
9 Satan in Pakai adonbut in, “Henge Job in Pathen aginna ajeh hoitah anei ahi.
Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “Does Job fear God without reason?
10 Ama ahin ain ahin chule anei jouse kulpi kikai khum banga, akim vella pal banga naum chahkheh’a nangin atohna jousea nakhan tousah jeh’a bou ahi. Ven ichan geija haosa hitam?
Have you not put a barrier around him, around his house, and around all that is his from every side? You have blessed the deeds of his hands, and his cattle have burst forth in the land.
11 Nakhut lhangin lang anei jouse lahmang peh le chun; chuteng leh namai chang tah’a na gaosap jeng ding ahi,” ati.
But now stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, and see if he does not curse you to your face.”
12 Pakaiyin Satan jah’a aseijin. “Aphai, amapa khu napatep thei ahi. Chule anei jouse chunga nabol nom chan nabol thei ahinai, atahsa vang suhset peh hih in,” ati. Chuin Satan in jong Pakai umna adalhatai.
Yahweh said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your hand. Only against him himself do not stretch out your hand.” Then Satan went away from the presence of Yahweh.
13 Nikhat Job achapate le achanuten aupa pen pao in’a an anehkhom adonkhom laitah un,
It came about that on a certain day, his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house.
14 Thupole khat in Job in'ah hiche thusoh hi ahinpoi; “Nabongchal hon lou akhoijuva, akimvella sangan hon an aneh laijun,
A messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were feeding beside them.
15 Seba miten eihin bulhu tauvin, ganchaho jouse akiguh manguvin chule natong ho athat gamun, keima changseh hi nangma seipeh dia hung sohcha kahi,” ati.
Then the Sabeans fell on them and took them away. As for the servants, they have struck them with the edge of the sword. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
16 Amapan hiche thuhi asei nalaijin thupole dang khat in hiche thusoh hi ahinpoi, “Vanna konin Pathen meikong ahung lhan kelngoite le achingho akavam gamtai; keima changseh hi nangma seipeh dinga hung sohcha kahi,” ati.
While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of God fell from the heavens and burned up the sheep and the servants. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
17 Amapan hiche thuhi asei nalaijin, thupole athum channa pa ahung lhungin, hiche thusoh hi ahinpon, “Chaldea mite loithum jenin ahin delkhumun sangongsao jouse agumang un; chule nasaohte athatgam tauve, keima changseh hi nangma seipeh dinga hung sohcha kahi,” ati.
While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three groups, attacked the camels, and have taken them away. As for the servants, they have struck them with the edge of the sword. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
18 Hichepan thu asei nalaijin, thupole adang khat in hiche thusoh hi ahinpo paijin, “Nachapate le nachanu ten aupa pen pao in na anekhom adonkhomun ahileh,
While he was yet speaking, another also came and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house.
19 Photlot chang in, gammang lah a konin huipi hattah khat in aumnau in chu aninglang jousea ahin nuh leh in chu ahung chimlhan nachate jouse athigam soh tauve. Keima changseh hi nang seipeh dinga hung sohcha kahi,” ati.
A strong wind came from the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house. It fell on the young people, and they died. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
20 Job adingdoh in thilsoh lunggim najeh in asangkhol chol chu abottel in, alu akivo chaijin, chule chibai boh din tolla akun lhatai.
Then Job rose, tore his robe, shaved his head, lay facedown on the ground, and worshiped God.
21 Aman, “Kanu naobua konna kasagoh keuva hungdoh kahin, chule kadalhah teng sagoh keu kahi ding ahi. Kanei jouse Pakaiyin eipeh ahin, chule Pakaiyin akilah mang ahi; Pakai min chu vahchoijin umhen,” ati.
He said, “I was naked when I came out of my mother's womb, and I will be naked when I will return there. It is Yahweh who gave, and it is Yahweh who has taken away. May the name of Yahweh be blessed.”
22 Hicheng jouse ahin Pathen themmo chansah nan achonsepoi.
In all this matter, Job did not sin, nor did he accuse God of wrongdoing.
