Job 2
1 On another day, the angels came again and gathered together in front of Yahweh, and Satan came too.
A tue a pha vaengah Pathen ca rhoek loh cet uh BOEIPA taengah pai uh. Te vaengah Satan khaw BOEIPA taengah pai hamla amih lakli ah cet.
2 Yahweh asked Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan replied, “I have come from the earth, where I have been traveling back and forth, seeing what is happening.”
BOEIPA loh Satan te, “Me lamkah lae na pawk he,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Satan loh BOEIPA te a doo tih, “Diklai ah ka van thikthuek tih a khuiah aka pongpa lamloh,” a ti nah.
3 Yahweh asked Satan, “Have you (noticed/thought about) my [faithful] servant Job? He is very godly/righteous [DOU], he greatly respects/reveres me, and he [always] avoids doing evil things. And he still acts in a very godly/righteous manner, even though you persuaded me to [let you] cause disastrous things to happen to him for no reason.”
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. Anih tah a muelhtuetnah dongah cak pueng. Lunglilungla la anih dolh ham ni amah taengah kai nan vueh,” a ti nah.
4 Satan replied to Yahweh, “He praises you only because you bless him [IDM]. People will give up everything they have to save their own lives.
Satan loh BOEIPA te a doo tih, “A vin ham a vin coeng tih a hinglu ham te hlang taengla boeih a paek ni.
5 But if you harm his body [MTY], he will surely curse you openly [IDM]!”
Tedae na kut hlah laeh lamtah a rhuh neh a saa te ben lah saeh, na mikhmuh ah nang te n'uem rhet mahpawh,” a ti nah.
6 Yahweh replied to Satan, “(All right/Okay), you may do to him whatever you want to do, but do not cause him to die.”
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Satan te, “Anih te namah kut ah om dae a hinglu te tah ngaithuen,” a ti nah.
7 So Satan left, and he caused Job to be afflicted with very painful boils, from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.
Te dongah Satan te BOEIPA mikhmuh lamloh khoe uh tih Job te buhlut thae neh a kho khopha lamloh a luki duela a ngawn.
8 Job took a piece of broken pottery and scraped the boils on his skin, and he sat in ashes [as people did when they were mourning for those who had died].
Te te khoeih hamla amah loh paikaek a loh tih hmaiphu khui ah ngol.
9 His wife said to him, “Are you still trying to (be loyal to/faithfully trust in) God? You should curse God, and then you will die.”
Te vaengah anih te a yuu loh, “Nang loh na muelhtuetnah te na pom bal pueng, Pathen te uem lamtah duek pahoi,” a ti nah.
10 But Job replied, “You talk like people who do not know God talk. (Should we accept only the good things that God [does for us]?/We should not accept only the good things that God [does for us].) [RHQ] We should also accept bad things.” So in spite of all these [things that happened to] Job, [he] did not say anything against God.
Tedae amah te na ang cal la na cal. Pathen taeng lamloh hnothen n'doe tih yoethae he n'doe mahpawt nim?” a ti nah. Te boeih khuiah pataeng Job he a hmuilai nen khaw a tholh moenih.
11 Among Job’s friends were Eliphaz from Teman [town], Bildad from Shuah [land] and Zophar from Naamah [land]. When they heard about all the terrible things that had happened to Job, they left their home areas and went together to Job to console/comfort him [DOU].
Anih soah yoethae cungkuem a pai he Job kah a hui pathum loh a yaak. Te vaengah Temani Eliphaz, Shuhi Bildad, Naamathi Zophar te amah hmuen lamloh rhip cet uh tih Job suem ham neh hloep ham aka cet la tun hum uh.
12 When they saw Job from a distance, they almost did not recognize him. They wailed loudly, they tore their robes, and they threw dust over their heads [to show how sorry they were because of what had happened to Job].
A hla lamloh a mik te a huel uh vaengah amah te hmat uh pawh. Te dongah a ol a huel uh tih rhap uh. A hnikul te rhip a phen uh tih laipi te a lu soah vaan la a haeh uh.
13 Then they sat on the ground with Job for seven days. None of them said anything to Job, because they saw that he was suffering greatly, [and they did not think that anything that they said would lessen his pain].
Anih te diklai dongah khothaih hnin rhih neh khoyin hnin rhih a ngol puei uh. Thakkhoeihnah loh mat a tluek te a hmuh dongah a taengah ol cal uh pawh.
