< Job 1 >
1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job, and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turning away 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 There were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
Anih loe capa sarihto hoi canu thumto sak.
3 His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the people 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 His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his day; and they sent and called for 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 It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, 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." Job did so 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 Now it happened on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, that Satan also came among them.
Nito naah Sithaw ih caanawk loe Angraeng hmaa ah angphong hanah angzoh o, to naah Setan doeh nihcae salakah angzoh toeng.
7 The LORD said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, "From going back and forth on the earth, and from walking up and down on 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 The LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away 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 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing?
Setan mah Angraeng khaeah, Job loe tidoeh na ai ah Sithaw to zit maw?
10 Haven't you made a hedge around him, and around his household, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his livestock have increased 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 your hand now, and strike all that he has, and he will curse you to your 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 The LORD said to Satan, "Look, all that he has is in your power. Only do not put forth your hand on him." So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
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 Now the day came when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
Nito naah Job capa hoi canunawk loe amya nongpa kacoeh koek im ah buhcaak o moe, misurtui a naek o nathuem ah,
14 that there came a messenger to Job, and said, "The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys grazing 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 Sheba attacked, and took them away. Yes, they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you."
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 still speaking, there also came another, and said, "The fire of God has fallen from the sky, and has burned up the sheep and the young men, and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you."
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 still speaking, there came also another, and said, "The Kasdim made three bands, and swept down on the camels, and have taken them away, and killed the young men with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you."
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 still speaking, there came also another, and said, "Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
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 look, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead. I alone have escaped to tell you."
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 Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down with his face to the ground.
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 He said, "Naked I came out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the name of the LORD."
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 did not sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.
Anih loe hae baktih tahamsethaih hmuennawk boih to tongh, toe Job loe zaehaih sah ai; Sithaw doeh kasae thui ai.
