< Job 1 >

1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. And this man was blameless and upright, fearing God and shunning evil.
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.
2 He had seven sons and three daughters,
Joh hin chapa sagi le chanu thum aneiye.
3 and he owned 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, 500 female donkeys, and a very large number of servants. Job was the greatest man of all the people of the East.
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.
4 Job’s sons would take turns holding feasts in their homes, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
Job chapate aphat lhingpen pen chun ainnuva nehkhom donkhom abol tenguleh, asopiu numei thumho jong chu golvah bolkhompi din akou jiuve.
5 And when the days of feasting were over, Job would send for his children to purify them, rising early in the morning to offer burnt offerings for all of them. For Job thought, “Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular practice.
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.
6 One day the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them.
Nikhat hi van thutanna in na thutanho ama ho cham chamin Pakai masanga ahung kikhomun chule hehhatpa Satan chu amaho toh ahung lhung khome.
7 “Where have you come from?” said the LORD to Satan. “From roaming through the earth,” he replied, “and walking back and forth in it.”
“Hoiya konna hung nahim?” tin Pakaiyin Satan adonge. Satan in Pakai adonbut in, Leiset chung kaga vet lhih lea, thilsoh jouse kaga vetle ahi.
8 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.”
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.
9 Satan answered the LORD, “Does Job fear God for nothing?
Satan in Pakai adonbut in, “Henge Job in Pathen aginna ajeh hoitah anei ahi.
10 Have You not placed a hedge on every side around him and his household and all that he owns? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.
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?
11 But stretch out Your hand and strike all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face.”
Nakhut lhangin lang anei jouse lahmang peh le chun; chuteng leh namai chang tah’a na gaosap jeng ding ahi,” ati.
12 “Very well,” said the LORD to Satan. “Everything he has is in your hands, but you must not lay a hand on the man himself.” Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.
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.
13 One day, while Job’s sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
Nikhat Job achapate le achanuten aupa pen pao in’a an anehkhom adonkhom laitah un,
14 a messenger came and reported to Job: “While the oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing nearby,
Thupole khat in Job in'ah hiche thusoh hi ahinpoi; “Nabongchal hon lou akhoijuva, akimvella sangan hon an aneh laijun,
15 the Sabeans swooped down and took them away. They put the servants to the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
Seba miten eihin bulhu tauvin, ganchaho jouse akiguh manguvin chule natong ho athat gamun, keima changseh hi nangma seipeh dia hung sohcha kahi,” ati.
16 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and reported: “The fire of God fell from heaven. It burned and consumed the sheep and the servants, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
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.
17 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and reported: “The Chaldeans formed three bands, raided the camels, and took them away. They put the servants to the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
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.
18 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and reported: “Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
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,
19 when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on the young people and they are dead, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
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.
20 Then Job stood up, tore his robe, and shaved his head. He fell to the ground and worshiped,
Job adingdoh in thilsoh lunggim najeh in asangkhol chol chu abottel in, alu akivo chaijin, chule chibai boh din tolla akun lhatai.
21 saying: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will return. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the name of the LORD.”
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.
22 In all this, Job did not sin or charge God with wrongdoing.
Hicheng jouse ahin Pathen themmo chansah nan achonsepoi.
