< 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 ram dawk tami buet touh ao teh, a min teh Job doeh. Ahni teh toun hane awm hoeh, tamikalan, Cathut ka taket e, kahawihoehe lamthung ka roun e lah ao.
2 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
Capa 7 touh hoi canu 3 touh a tawn.
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.
A tawn e naw teh, tu 7,000, kalauk 3,000, maitotan 500, lamanu 500, hoi a sannaw moikapap a tawn. Ahni teh Kanîtholae taminaw pueng hlak tami ka lentoe poung e lah ao.
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.
A capanaw ni kum tangkuem amamae a khenae pawi a sak awh navah, amamae im dawk bu canae pawi a sak awh teh a kamkhueng awh navah, a tawncanunaw ka 3, touh hai canei hanelah ouk a coun.
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.
Hottelah bu canae pawi abaw hnukkhu vah, Job ni a kaw awh teh, ouk a kamkhueng sak awh. Amom a thaw teh ahnimae milu kuep lah hmaisawi thuengnae sathei ouk a poe. Bangkongtetpawiteh Job ni ka capanaw ni yonnae sak awh vaiteh, a lungthin hoi Cathut hah pahnawt awh langvaih telah ati. Hottelah, Job ni pou a sak.
6 And there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah; and Satan came also among them.
Cathut e capanaw BAWIPA e hmalah tâconae hnin a pha torei teh, Setan hai ahnimouh koe a tho van.
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.
BAWIPA ni Setan koe nâ lahoi maw na tho atipouh. Setan ni BAWIPA talai van ka kâhei teh ka kumluennae koehoi, atipouh.
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?
BAWIPA ni Setan koe ka san Job he na pouk boimaw. Talai van dawk ahni patetlae toun han kaawm hoeh e, tamikalan Cathut ka taket e hoi, kahawihoehe lamthung ka roun e awm hoeh, telah atipouh.
9 And Satan answered Jehovah and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
Setan ni BAWIPA a pathungnae teh, Job ni Cathut hah a khuekhaw awm laipalah maw a taki.
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.
Ahni teh a imthung hoi, a tawn e naw pueng hoi, a tengpam pueng pet na kalup teh, a kut hoi a tawk e naw pueng hah yawhawi na poe teh, na kamphung sak nahoehmaw.
11 But put forth thy hand now and touch all that he hath, [and see] if he will not curse thee to thy face!
Atuvah na kut pho nateh a tawn e hnonaw pueng hah tek pouh haw, na hmaitung roeroe vah nama tang na pahnawt han doeh atipouh.
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.
BAWIPA ni, Setan koe, khenhaw! a tawn e naw pueng teh, nange na kut dawk ao. Ama teh tek hanh atipouh. Hahoi Setan teh BAWIPA koehoi a tâco.
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.
Hnin touh hnin teh, a canu hoi a capanaw teh, a hmau kacue im dawkvah a ca awh teh misurtui a nei awh lahun nah,
14 And there came a messenger to Job and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses feeding beside them;
Job koe patoune buet touh a yawng teh, maitotannaw talai a kanawk awh lahun nah, lanaw hai ateng a pâ awh lahun navah,
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.
Sheba taminaw ni na tuk awh teh, koung a la awh toe na sannaw hah tahloi hoi a thei awh teh, kai buet touh dueng doeh, nang koe dei hanelah ka hlout atipouh.
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.
A dei lahun nah tami alouke bout a tho. Kalvan hoi Cathut e hmai a bo teh, tu hoi na sannaw hah koung a kak teh be a kahma toe. Kai buet touh dueng doeh nang koe dei hanelah ka hlout e lah ka o atipouh.
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.
A dei lahun nah tami alouke bout a tho. Khaldean taminaw ahu kathum touh lah ao awh teh, kalauknaw hah koung na lawp awh, na sannaw hai tahloi hoi be a thei awh. Kai buet touh dueng doeh nang koe dei hanelah ka hlout atipouh.
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;
A dei lahun nah tami alouke bout a tho. Na canu hoi na capanaw ni, a hmau kacuepoung e im vah a ca awh teh misurtui a nei awh lahun navah,
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.
Khenhaw! kahrawng lahoi kahlî katang poung e a tho teh, imnaw hah a hmang teh, thoundoun, tanglanaw hah koung a ratet teh koung a due. Kai buet touh dueng doeh nang koe dei hanelah ka hlout atipouh.
20 And Job rose up, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshipped;
Hahoi Job ni a thaw teh, ahni a ravei, a lû luengpalueng lah a ngaw teh, talai dawk a tabo teh a bawk.
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!
Anu e von thung hoi tak caici lah ka tâco teh, tak caici lah bout ka ban han. BAWIPA ni na poe teh BAWIPA ni bout a la. BAWIPA min teh pholennae awm seh telah a ti.
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor ascribed anything unseemly to God.
Hetnaw dawkvah Job ni yonnae sak laipalah Cathut yonpennae tawn hoeh.
