< 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 turned away from evil.
Phatkhat hin Uz gam sunga Job kiti mikhat ana cheng in, amapa chu nolnabei leh lungtheng sel ahi. Amapan Pathen aging in thilphalou jousea kona kikangse jinga um ahi.
2 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
Joh hin chapa sagi le chanu thum aneiye.
3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
Chule Job hin kelngoi sang sagi, sangongsao sang thum, bongchal kop janga, le sanganpi janga aneiye. Amapa hin soh jong tamtah anei ahi. Atahbeh in Job hi hiche gamkai sungse dinga ahaopen ahi.
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.
Job chapate aphat lhingpen pen chun ainnuva nehkhom donkhom abol tenguleh, asopiu numei thumho jong chu golvah bolkhompi din akou jiuve.
5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were ended, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose 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.
Hiche golvah chu akichai teng nikho phabep jouleh Job chun achate athenso jin ahi. Job chu jingkah matah in athou jin khat cheh a din govam thilto abolpeh ji'e. Ajeh chu Job in hiti hin aseijin, “Kachate hi ana chonseuvin tin chule alungthim uva jong Pathen agaosap sao himai theijinte,” ati. Hiti hin Job in abol jing jenge.
6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
Nikhat hi van thutanna in na thutanho ama ho cham chamin Pakai masanga ahung kikhomun chule hehhatpa Satan chu amaho toh ahung lhung khome.
7 And the LORD said to Satan, From where comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, fFrom going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down upon it.
“Hoiya konna hung nahim?” tin Pakaiyin Satan adonge. Satan in Pakai adonbut in, Leiset chung kaga vet lhih lea, thilsoh jouse kaga vetle ahi.
8 And the LORD 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 turneth away from evil?
Chuin Pakaiyin Satan jah a, “Kalhachapa Job khu nahet em? Leiset a dinga miphapen ahi. Amahi nolnabei, milungthengsel ahin, aman Pathen aging in chule thilphalou jousea konin akikangsen ahi,” ati.
9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nothing?
Satan in Pakai adonbut in, “Henge Job in Pathen aginna ajeh hoitah anei ahi.
10 Hast not thou made an 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 increased in the land.
Ama ahin ain ahin chule anei jouse kulpi kikai khum banga, akim vella pal banga naum chahkheh’a nangin atohna jousea nakhan tousah jeh’a bou ahi. Ven ichan geija haosa hitam?
11 But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
Nakhut lhangin lang anei jouse lahmang peh le chun; chuteng leh namai chang tah’a na gaosap jeng ding ahi,” ati.
12 And the LORD said to Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
Pakaiyin Satan jah’a aseijin. “Aphai, amapa khu napatep thei ahi. Chule anei jouse chunga nabol nom chan nabol thei ahinai, atahsa vang suhset peh hih in,” ati. Chuin Satan in jong Pakai umna adalhatai.
13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house:
Nikhat Job achapate le achanuten aupa pen pao in’a an anehkhom adonkhom laitah un,
14 And there came a messenger to Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them:
Thupole khat in Job in'ah hiche thusoh hi ahinpoi; “Nabongchal hon lou akhoijuva, akimvella sangan hon an aneh laijun,
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 have escaped alone to tell thee.
Seba miten eihin bulhu tauvin, ganchaho jouse akiguh manguvin chule natong ho athat gamun, keima changseh hi nangma seipeh dia hung sohcha kahi,” ati.
16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God hath fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only have escaped alone to tell thee.
Amapan hiche thuhi asei nalaijin thupole dang khat in hiche thusoh hi ahinpoi, “Vanna konin Pathen meikong ahung lhan kelngoite le achingho akavam gamtai; keima changseh hi nangma seipeh dinga hung sohcha kahi,” ati.
17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made 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 have escaped alone to tell thee.
Amapan hiche thuhi asei nalaijin, thupole athum channa pa ahung lhungin, hiche thusoh hi ahinpon, “Chaldea mite loithum jenin ahin delkhumun sangongsao jouse agumang un; chule nasaohte athatgam tauve, keima changseh hi nangma seipeh dinga hung sohcha kahi,” ati.
18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house:
Hichepan thu asei nalaijin, thupole adang khat in hiche thusoh hi ahinpo paijin, “Nachapate le nachanu ten aupa pen pao in na anekhom adonkhomun ahileh,
19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only have escaped alone to tell thee.
Photlot chang in, gammang lah a konin huipi hattah khat in aumnau in chu aninglang jousea ahin nuh leh in chu ahung chimlhan nachate jouse athigam soh tauve. Keima changseh hi nang seipeh dinga hung sohcha kahi,” ati.
20 Then Job arose, and tore his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell upon the ground, and worshipped,
Job adingdoh in thilsoh lunggim najeh in asangkhol chol chu abottel in, alu akivo chaijin, chule chibai boh din tolla akun lhatai.
21 And said, Naked came I from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return there: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
Aman, “Kanu naobua konna kasagoh keuva hungdoh kahin, chule kadalhah teng sagoh keu kahi ding ahi. Kanei jouse Pakaiyin eipeh ahin, chule Pakaiyin akilah mang ahi; Pakai min chu vahchoijin umhen,” ati.
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
Hicheng jouse ahin Pathen themmo chansah nan achonsepoi.
