Job 2
1 Cathut e capanaw BAWIPA e hmalah a tâconae hnin bout a pha toteh, Setan hai BAWIPA e hmalah kamnue van hanlah ahnimouh koe a tho van.
On another day the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them to present himself before Him.
2 BAWIPA ni Setan teh nâ lahoi maw na tho atipouh. Setan ni BAWIPA a pathungnae teh, talai van ka kâhei teh, ka kumluennae koehoi, atipouh.
“Where have you come from?” said the LORD to Satan. “From roaming through the earth,” he replied, “and walking back and forth in it.”
3 BAWIPA ni Setan koevah, ka san Job heh na pouk boimaw. Ahni patetlae toun han kaawm hoeh e, tamikalan, Cathut ka taket e hoi, kahawihoehe lamthung ka roun e, apihai awm hoeh. Bang hoeh e dawk na ka raphoe nakunghai ama min la doeh poe awm ti atipouh.
Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one on earth like him, a man who is blameless and upright, who fears God and shuns evil. He still retains his integrity, even though you incited Me against him to ruin him without cause.”
4 Setan ni BAWIPA hah a pathung teh, vuen hanlah vuen lah doeh ao, tami ni a tawnta e pueng hah a hring nahanelah a kâpasoung yawkaw han.
“Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give up all he owns in exchange for his life.
5 Hateiteh, atu na kut pho nateh, a hru hoi atak tek pouh haw, na hmaitung vah na pahnawt han doeh atipouh.
But stretch out Your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse You to Your face.”
6 BAWIPA ni Setan koe, khenhaw! ahni teh na kut dawk ao. Hateiteh a hringnae hah pâhlung atipouh.
“Very well,” said the LORD to Satan. “He is in your hands, but you must spare his life.”
7 Setan teh BAWIPA e hmaitung hoi a tâco teh, Job hah a khok koehoi a lû totouh, ka patawpoung e moihna hoi a kawi sak.
So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD and infected Job with terrible boils from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head.
8 A kâkoe nahanelah Job ni ampaikei hah a la teh hraba dawk a tahung.
And Job took a piece of broken pottery to scrape himself as he sat among the ashes.
9 A yu ni, na lannae hah pou na kuet han rah maw. Na Cathut hah thoebo nateh, dout lawih atipouh.
Then Job’s wife said to him, “Do you still retain your integrity? Curse God and die!”
10 Hateiteh ahni ni napui koe, ka pathu e napui ni lawk a dei e patetlah na dei. Bangtelamaw Cathut koehoi hawinae ka hmu katang teh, thoenae hai hmawt mahoeh maw, telah atipouh. Hete hno pueng dawk Job ni apâhni dawk hoi yonnae dei hoeh.
“You speak as a foolish woman speaks,” he told her. “Should we accept from God only good and not adversity?” In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.
11 Job e a hui kathum touh ni, het patet e hawihoehnae ni a pha sin e a thai awh torei teh, amamouh aonae koehoi lengkaleng a tho awh. Teman tami Eliphaz Shuhi tami Bildad hoi, Naamath tami Zophar, bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni lungpahawi hane, lungmawng sak hanelah a kamkhueng awh teh a kâpan awh.
Now when Job’s three friends—Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite—heard about all this adversity that had come upon him, each of them came from his home, and they met together to go and sympathize with Job and comfort him.
12 Ahnimouh ni ahlanae koehoi Job hah a khet awh navah, nout thai awh hoeh. Kacaipounglah a ka awh teh, khohnanaw hah vekvek a ravei awh teh, a lûnaw dawk vaiphu a kâphuen awh.
When they lifted up their eyes from afar, they could barely recognize Job. They began to weep aloud, and each man tore his robe and threw dust in the air over his head.
13 Hottelah hnin sari touh hoi rum sari touh thung talai dawk a tahungkhai awh teh, apinihai ahni koe lawk kam touh hai dei awh hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a lungmathoe poung tie hah a panue awh.
Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights, but no one spoke a word to him because they saw how intense his suffering was.
