Job 1
1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
Hlang pakhat, a ming ah Job tah Uz khohmuen ah om. Tekah hlang tah cuemthuek neh a thuem la, Pathen aka rhih tih boethae lamloh aka nong la om.
2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
Anih te capa parhih neh canu pathum a sak.
3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
Anih kah boiva he boiva thawng rhih, kalauk thawng thum, vaito rhoi ya nga, laak ya nga om. Imkhut khaw muep ping tih khothoeng koca boeih lakah hlang len la om.
4 And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
A ca rhoek khaw cet uh tih amah khohnin vaengah amah im kah buhkoknah rhip a saii uh. Te vaengah a ngannu pathum te a tah uh tih a khue uh. A ngannu rhoek khaw amih neh a caak a ok uh.
5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
Buhkoknah khohnin a poeng van neh Job loh amih te a tah tih a ciim. Job loh, “Ka ca rhoek he tholh uh mai khaming, tedae a thinko ah Pathen uem mai saeh,” a ti. Te dongah amih boeih a tarhing la mincang ah thoo tih hmueihhlutnah a nawn. Te tlam te Job loh hnin takuem a saii.
6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
Hnin at ah Pathen ca rhoek te cet uh tih BOEIPA taengah pai. Te vaengah Satan khaw amih lakli ah cet.
7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence come you? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
BOEIPA loh Satan te, “Me lamkah lae na pawk,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Satan loh BOEIPA te doo tih, “Diklai ah ka van thikthuek tih a khuiah ka pongpa coeng,” a ti nah.
8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that fears God, and turns away from evil?
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Satan te, “Ka sal Job ke na lungbuei ah na khueh a? Anih bangla a cuemthuek neh aka thuem, Pathen aka rhih tih boethae lamloh aka nong hlang he diklai ah om pawh,” a ti nah.
9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Does Job fear God for nothing?
Satan loh BOEIPA te a doo tih, “Lunglilungla mai la Job loh Pathen a rhih tang nim?
10 Have not you made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he has on every side? you have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
Namah loh anih ham neh a imkhui ham khaw, a taengkah boeih ham khaw vong na buk pah moenih a? A kut dongkah bibi te yoe na then sak tih a boiva loh diklai ah pungtai.
11 But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face.
Tedae na kut na hlah lamtah anih hut te boeih ben lah, na mikhmuh ah nang n'uem tang mahpawh,” a ti nah.
12 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he has is in your power; only upon himself put not forth your hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
BOEIPA loh Satan te, “A taengkah boeih ke na kut ah om ne. Tedae amah soah tah na kut hlah boeh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah Satan te BOEIPA mikhmuh lamloh khoe uh.
13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
Hnin at vaengah a capa rhoek neh a canu rhoek loh a maya caming im ah buh a caak uh tih misurtui a ok uh.
14 And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
Te vaengah Job taengla puencawn ha pawk tih, “Vaito te olmueh la om tih a hmatoeng ah laak luem.
15 And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
Tedae Sheba tah capit uh tih te rhoek te a mawt coeng. Camoe rhoek te khaw cunghang ha neh a ngawn uh. Kai kamah bueng he nang taengah aka puen la dawk ka loeih,” a ti nah.
16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and has burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
Te te a thui li vaengah pakhat ha pawk tih, “Pathen hmai tah vaan lamloh tla tih boiva te a toih coeng. Camoe rhoek te khaw a hlawp coeng. Kai kamah bueng he nang taengah aka puen la dawk ka loeih,” a ti nah.
17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
Te te thui li vaengah pakhat ha pawk tih, “Khalden rhoek hlop thum la yolh uh tih kalauk dongla capit uh. Te rhoek te a khuen phoeiah camoe rhoek te cunghang ha neh a ngawn. Kai kamah bueng he nang taengah aka puen la dawk ka loeih,” a ti nah.
18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
Te te a thui vaengah pakhat a pawk pah tih, “Na capa rhoek neh na canu rhoek loh buh a caak uh tih a maya caming im ah misurtui a ok uh.
19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and stroke the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
Te vaengah rhalvang khosoek lamloh khohli puei tarha cu tih im kil pali te a nen. Te dongah camoe rhoek a cungku thil tih duek uh. Kai kamah bueng he nang taengah aka puen la dawk ka loeih,” a ti nah.
20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
Te vaengah Job thoo tih a hnikul te a phen. A lu te a vok. Diklai la khup tih bakop.
21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
Te phoeiah, “A nu bungko lamloh ka thoeng vaengah, pumtling la ka thoeng tih pumtling la ka mael ni. BOEIPA a paek tih BOEIPA loh a loh dongah, BOEIPA ming tah yoethen la om pai saeh,” a ti.
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
A cungkuem dongah he Job tholh pawt tih Pathen taengah khaw a hohap a paek moenih.
