Job 1
1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and this man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God and abstained from evil.
Uz prae ah Job, tiah kawk ih kami maeto oh; to kami loe coek koi om ai, katoeng kami ah oh; Sithaw zit moe, kahoih ai hmuen ayae koeh kami ah oh.
2 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
Anih loe capa sarihto hoi canu thumto sak.
3 And his substance was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and very many servants; and this man was greater than all the children of the east.
Tuu sang sarih, kaengkuu hrang sang thum, laikok atok thaih maitawtae cumvai pangato, laa hrang cumvai pangato tawnh moe, tamna paroeai a tawnh; anih loe ni angyae bang ih kaminawk boih thungah kalen koek ah oh.
4 And his sons went and made a feast in the house of each one on his day; and they sent and invited their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
Anih ih capanawk loe saning kruek, angmacae tapenhaih niah angmacae im ah buhraenghaih poih to sak o, to naah a tanuh thumtonawk doeh, nawnto buhcaak hanah kawk o toeng.
5 And it was so, when the days of the feasting were gone about, that Job sent and hallowed them; and he rose up early in the morning, and offered up burnt-offerings [according to] the number of them all; for Job said, It may be that my children have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
Job mah ka caanawk loe palungthin thungah Sithaw to kasae thuih o moe, zae o moeng boeh mue, tiah a poek pongah, buhraenghaih poih boeng pacoengah, nihcae to kawk moe, ciimcaisak; nihcae boih hanah hmai angbawnhaih to akhawnbang kruek a sak pae. Job mah to tiah sak toepsoep.
6 And there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah; and Satan came also among them.
Nito naah Sithaw ih caanawk loe Angraeng hmaa ah angphong hanah angzoh o, to naah Setan doeh nihcae salakah angzoh toeng.
7 And Jehovah said to Satan, Whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
Angraeng mah Setan khaeah, naa hoiah maw nang zoh? tiah a naa. Setan mah Angraeng khaeah, Long pum ahnuk ahmaa kam het nakung hoiah kang zoh, tiah a naa.
8 And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God and abstaineth from evil?
To pacoengah Angraeng mah Setan khaeah, Ka tamna Job ho na poek vai maw? Long nuiah anih baktih kami mi doeh om ai; anih loe coek koi om ai, katoeng kami ah oh, Sithaw to zit moe, kasae hmuen sak koeh ai kami ah oh, tiah a naa.
9 And Satan answered Jehovah and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
Setan mah Angraeng khaeah, Job loe tidoeh na ai ah Sithaw to zit maw?
10 Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is spread abroad in the land.
Anih hoi a imthung takoh, a tawnh ih hmuennawk boih loe sipae baktiah na pakaa pae na ai maw? A toksakhaih nuiah tahamhoihaih na paek pongah, anih loe prae thungah hmuenmae paroeai angraeng boeh.
11 But put forth thy hand now and touch all that he hath, [and see] if he will not curse thee to thy face!
Toe vaihiah na ban phok ah loe, a tawnh ih hmuennawk boih paro pae ah, anih mah na hmaa roe ah nang to kasae thui tih, tiah a naa.
12 And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy hand; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.
Angraeng mah Setan khaeah, Khenah, a tawnh ih hmuennawk boih na ban ah oh; toe angmah to loe na ban hoi sui hmah, tiah a naa.
13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn.
Nito naah Job capa hoi canunawk loe amya nongpa kacoeh koek im ah buhcaak o moe, misurtui a naek o nathuem ah,
14 And there came a messenger to Job and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses feeding beside them;
Job khaeah laicaeh maeto angzoh moe, Na tamnanawk loe maitawtae hoiah laikok atok o moe, a taengah laa hrangnawk rawkcak caak o li naah,
15 and [they of] Sheba fell [upon them] and took them, and the servants have they smitten with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee.
Sabean kaminawk to angzoh o moe, tuk o pacoengah, maetawtaenawk hoi laa hrangnawk to lak pae o king; ue, nihcae mah na tamnanawk to sumsen hoiah hum o, nang khaeah tamthang thuih hanah kai khue ni loih, tiah a naa.
16 While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee.
Anih mah lokthuih li naah, kalah laicaeh maeto angzoh let moe, Van hoiah Sithaw ih hmai krak tathuk moe, nang ih tuunawk hoi na tamnanawk to kangh boih, nang khaeah tamthang thuih hanah kai khue ni loih, tiah a naa.
17 While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels and took them, and the servants have they smitten with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee.
Anih mah lokthuih li naah, kalah laicaeh maeto angzoh let moe, Khaldea kaminawk abu thumto ah angzoh o, kaengkuu hrangnawk to lak o moe, hoih o ving boeh, na tamnanawk loe sumsen hoiah hum o; nang khaeah tamthang thuih hanah kai khue ni loih, tiah a naa.
18 While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn;
Anih mah lokthuih li naah, laicaeh kalah maeto angzoh let, laicaeh mah anih khaeah, Na capa hoi na canunawk loe amya kacoeh koek im ah buhcaak o moe, misurtui naek o nathuem ah,
19 and behold, there came a great wind from over the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they died; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee.
khenah, praezaek hoiah takhi to song moe, im to hmuh phaeng, im mah nawktanawk to taeh pongah, nihcae loe duek o boih; nang khaeah tamthang thuih hanah kai khue ni loih, tiah a naa.
20 And Job rose up, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshipped;
Hae lok thaih naah, Job loe angthawk moe, angmah ih kahni to asih, sam to aah moe, long ah tabok hoiah Sithaw to a bok,
21 and he said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah!
anih mah, Kam no zok thung hoi bangkrai ah kang zoh, bangkrai ah kam laem let han; Angraeng mah ang paek moe, Angraeng mah lak let boeh; Angraeng ih ahmin tahamhoihaih om nasoe, tiah thuih.
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor ascribed anything unseemly to God.
Anih loe hae baktih tahamsethaih hmuennawk boih to tongh, toe Job loe zaehaih sah ai; Sithaw doeh kasae thui ai.
