< Job 2 >

1 But it happened that, on a certain day, when the sons of God had arrived and they stood before the Lord, Satan likewise arrived among them, and he stood in his sight.
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.
2 So the Lord said to Satan, “Where do you come from?” Answering, he said, “I have circled the land, and walked around in it.”
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.
3 And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you not considered my servant, Job, that there is no one like him in the land, a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil, and still retaining his innocence? Yet you have stirred me against him, so that I would afflict him to no purpose.”
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.
4 Answering him, Satan said, “Skin for skin; and everything that a man has, he will give for his life.
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.
5 Yet send your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and then you will see whether or not he blesses you to your face.”
Hateiteh, atu na kut pho nateh, a hru hoi atak tek pouh haw, na hmaitung vah na pahnawt han doeh atipouh.
6 Therefore, the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but even so, spare his life.”
BAWIPA ni Setan koe, khenhaw! ahni teh na kut dawk ao. Hateiteh a hringnae hah pâhlung atipouh.
7 And so, Satan departed from the face of the Lord and he struck Job with a very serious ulcer from the sole of the foot all the way to the crown of his head.
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.
8 So he took a shard of earthenware and scraped the discharge, while sitting on a heap of refuse.
A kâkoe nahanelah Job ni ampaikei hah a la teh hraba dawk a tahung.
9 But his wife said to him, “Do you still continue in your simplicity? Bless God and die.”
A yu ni, na lannae hah pou na kuet han rah maw. Na Cathut hah thoebo nateh, dout lawih atipouh.
10 He said to her, “You have spoken like one of the foolish wives. If we accepted good things from the hand of God, why should we not accept bad things?” In all this, Job did not sin with his lips.
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.
11 And so, three friends of Job, hearing about all the evil that had befallen him, arrived, each one from his own place, Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had agreed to come together to visit and console him.
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.
12 And when they had raised up their eyes from a distance, they did not recognize him, and, crying out, they wept, and, tearing their garments, they scattered dust over their heads into the sky.
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.
13 And they sat with him on the ground for seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his sorrow was very great.
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.
