< Job 1 >
1 A man he was in [the] land of Uz [was] Job name his and he was - the man that blameless and upright and fearing God and turning aside from 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 they were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
Anih te capa parhih neh canu pathum a sak.
3 And it was livestock his seven thousand sheep and three thousand camels and five hundred pair[s] of ox[en] and five hundred female donkeys and service much very and he was the man that great more than all [the] people 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 they went sons his and they made a feast [the] house of each one day his and they sent and they invited [the] three (sisters their *Q(k)*) 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 that they had gone round [the] days of the feast and he sent Job and he sanctified them and he rose early in the morning and he offered up burnt offerings [the] number of all of them for he said Job perhaps they have sinned children my and they have blessed God in heart their thus he did Job all the days.
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 And it was the day and they came [the] sons of God to present themselves on Yahweh and he came also the adversary in midst of them.
Hnin at ah Pathen ca rhoek te cet uh tih BOEIPA taengah pai. Te vaengah Satan khaw amih lakli ah cet.
7 And he said Yahweh to the adversary from where? are you coming and he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said from roving about on the earth and from going about on 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 he said Yahweh to the adversary ¿ have you set heart your on servant my Job for there not [is] like him on the earth a man blameless and upright fearing God and [who] turns aside 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 And he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said ¿ in vain has he feared Job God.
Satan loh BOEIPA te a doo tih, “Lunglilungla mai la Job loh Pathen a rhih tang nim?
10 ¿ Not (you *Q(K)*) have you put a hedge behind him and behind house his and behind all that [belongs] to him from round about [the] work of hands his you have blessed and livestock his it has spread out 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 And but stretch out please hand your and touch all that [belongs] to him if not on face your he will bless you.
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 he said Yahweh to the adversary there! all that [belongs] to him [is] in hand your only against him may not you stretch out hand your and he went out the adversary from with [the] presence of Yahweh.
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 it was the day and sons his and daughters his [were] eating and drinking wine in [the] house of brother their the firstborn.
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 a messenger he came to Job and he said the ox[en] they were plowing and the female donkeys [were] grazing on hands their.
Te vaengah Job taengla puencawn ha pawk tih, “Vaito te olmueh la om tih a hmatoeng ah laak luem.
15 And it fell Sabean[s] and it took them and the servants they struck to [the] mouth of [the] sword and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to 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 Still - this [one] [was] speaking and this [one] he came and he said [the] fire of God it fell from the heavens and it burned the sheep and the servants and it consumed them and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to 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 Still - this [one] [was] speaking and this [one] he came and he said [the] Chaldeans they formed - three companies and they made a raid on the camels and they took them and the servants they struck to [the] mouth of [the] sword and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to 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 Until this [one] [was] speaking and this [one] he came and he said sons your and daughters your [were] eating and drinking wine in [the] house of brother their the firstborn.
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 there! a wind great it came - from [the] other side of the wilderness and it touched [the] four [the] corners of the house and it fell on the youths and they died and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to 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 And he arose Job and he tore robe his and he shaved head his and he fell [the] earth towards and he bowed down.
Te vaengah Job thoo tih a hnikul te a phen. A lu te a vok. Diklai la khup tih bakop.
21 And he said naked (I came out *Q(k)*) from [the] womb of mother my and naked I will return there towards Yahweh he gave and Yahweh he has taken may it be [the] name of Yahweh blessed.
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 not he sinned Job and not he ascribe unseemliness to God.
A cungkuem dongah he Job tholh pawt tih Pathen taengah khaw a hohap a paek moenih.
