< Job 1 >

1 A man there hath been in the land of Uz — Job his name — and that man hath been perfect and upright — both fearing God, and turning aside from evil.
Uz ram dawk tami buet touh ao teh, a min teh Job doeh. Ahni teh toun hane awm hoeh, tamikalan, Cathut ka taket e, kahawihoehe lamthung ka roun e lah ao.
2 And there are borne to him seven sons and three daughters,
Capa 7 touh hoi canu 3 touh a tawn.
3 and his substance is seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred pairs of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a service very abundant; and that man is greater than any of the sons of the east.
A tawn e naw teh, tu 7,000, kalauk 3,000, maitotan 500, lamanu 500, hoi a sannaw moikapap a tawn. Ahni teh Kanîtholae taminaw pueng hlak tami ka lentoe poung e lah ao.
4 And his sons have gone and made a banquet — the house of each [in] his day — and have sent and called to their three sisters to eat and to drink with them;
A capanaw ni kum tangkuem amamae a khenae pawi a sak awh navah, amamae im dawk bu canae pawi a sak awh teh a kamkhueng awh navah, a tawncanunaw ka 3, touh hai canei hanelah ouk a coun.
5 and it cometh to pass, when they have gone round the days of the banquet, that Job doth send and sanctify them, and hath risen early in the morning, and caused to ascend burnt-offerings — the number of them all — for Job said, 'Perhaps my sons have sinned, yet blessed God in their heart.' Thus doth Job all the days.
Hottelah bu canae pawi abaw hnukkhu vah, Job ni a kaw awh teh, ouk a kamkhueng sak awh. Amom a thaw teh ahnimae milu kuep lah hmaisawi thuengnae sathei ouk a poe. Bangkongtetpawiteh Job ni ka capanaw ni yonnae sak awh vaiteh, a lungthin hoi Cathut hah pahnawt awh langvaih telah ati. Hottelah, Job ni pou a sak.
6 And the day is, that sons of God come in to station themselves by Jehovah, and there doth come also the Adversary in their midst.
Cathut e capanaw BAWIPA e hmalah tâconae hnin a pha torei teh, Setan hai ahnimouh koe a tho van.
7 And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, 'Whence comest thou?' And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, 'From going to and fro in the land, and from walking up and down on it.'
BAWIPA ni Setan koe nâ lahoi maw na tho atipouh. Setan ni BAWIPA talai van ka kâhei teh ka kumluennae koehoi, atipouh.
8 And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, 'Hast thou set thy heart against My servant Job because there is none like him in the land, a man perfect and upright, fearing God, and turning aside from evil?'
BAWIPA ni Setan koe ka san Job he na pouk boimaw. Talai van dawk ahni patetlae toun han kaawm hoeh e, tamikalan Cathut ka taket e hoi, kahawihoehe lamthung ka roun e awm hoeh, telah atipouh.
9 And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, 'For nought is Job fearing God?
Setan ni BAWIPA a pathungnae teh, Job ni Cathut hah a khuekhaw awm laipalah maw a taki.
10 Hast not Thou made a hedge for him, and for his house, and for all that he hath — round about?
Ahni teh a imthung hoi, a tawn e naw pueng hoi, a tengpam pueng pet na kalup teh, a kut hoi a tawk e naw pueng hah yawhawi na poe teh, na kamphung sak nahoehmaw.
11 The work of his hands Thou hast blessed, and his substance hath spread in the land, and yet, put forth, I pray Thee, Thy hand, and strike against anything that he hath — if not: to Thy face he doth bless Thee!'
Atuvah na kut pho nateh a tawn e hnonaw pueng hah tek pouh haw, na hmaitung roeroe vah nama tang na pahnawt han doeh atipouh.
12 And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, 'Lo, all that he hath [is] in thy hand, only unto him put not forth thy hand.' And the Adversary goeth out from the presence of Jehovah.
BAWIPA ni, Setan koe, khenhaw! a tawn e naw pueng teh, nange na kut dawk ao. Ama teh tek hanh atipouh. Hahoi Setan teh BAWIPA koehoi a tâco.
13 And the day is, that his sons and his daughters are eating, and drinking wine, in the house of their brother, the first-born.
Hnin touh hnin teh, a canu hoi a capanaw teh, a hmau kacue im dawkvah a ca awh teh misurtui a nei awh lahun nah,
14 And a messenger hath come in unto Job and saith, 'The oxen have been plowing, and the she-asses feeding by their sides,
Job koe patoune buet touh a yawng teh, maitotannaw talai a kanawk awh lahun nah, lanaw hai ateng a pâ awh lahun navah,
15 and Sheba doth fall, and take them, and the young men they have smitten by the mouth of the sword, and I am escaped — only I alone — to declare [it] to thee.'
Sheba taminaw ni na tuk awh teh, koung a la awh toe na sannaw hah tahloi hoi a thei awh teh, kai buet touh dueng doeh, nang koe dei hanelah ka hlout atipouh.
16 While this [one] is speaking another also hath come and saith, 'Fire of God hath fallen from the heavens, and burneth among the flock, and among the young men, and consumeth them, and I am escaped — only I alone — to declare [it] to thee.'
A dei lahun nah tami alouke bout a tho. Kalvan hoi Cathut e hmai a bo teh, tu hoi na sannaw hah koung a kak teh be a kahma toe. Kai buet touh dueng doeh nang koe dei hanelah ka hlout e lah ka o atipouh.
17 While this [one] is speaking another also hath come and saith, 'Chaldeans made three heads, and rush on the camels, and take them, and the young men they have smitten by the mouth of the sword, and I am escaped — only I alone — to declare [it] to thee.'
A dei lahun nah tami alouke bout a tho. Khaldean taminaw ahu kathum touh lah ao awh teh, kalauknaw hah koung na lawp awh, na sannaw hai tahloi hoi be a thei awh. Kai buet touh dueng doeh nang koe dei hanelah ka hlout atipouh.
18 While this [one] is speaking another also hath come and saith, 'Thy sons and thy daughters are eating, and drinking wine, in the house of their brother, the first-born.
A dei lahun nah tami alouke bout a tho. Na canu hoi na capanaw ni, a hmau kacuepoung e im vah a ca awh teh misurtui a nei awh lahun navah,
19 And lo, a great wind hath come from over the wilderness, and striketh against the four corners of the house, and it falleth on the young men, and they are dead, and I am escaped — only I alone — to declare [it] to thee.'
Khenhaw! kahrawng lahoi kahlî katang poung e a tho teh, imnaw hah a hmang teh, thoundoun, tanglanaw hah koung a ratet teh koung a due. Kai buet touh dueng doeh nang koe dei hanelah ka hlout atipouh.
20 And Job riseth, and rendeth his robe, and shaveth his head, and falleth to the earth, and doth obeisance,
Hahoi Job ni a thaw teh, ahni a ravei, a lû luengpalueng lah a ngaw teh, talai dawk a tabo teh a bawk.
21 and he saith, 'Naked came I forth from the womb of my mother, and naked I turn back thither: Jehovah hath given and Jehovah hath taken: let the name of Jehovah be blessed.'
Anu e von thung hoi tak caici lah ka tâco teh, tak caici lah bout ka ban han. BAWIPA ni na poe teh BAWIPA ni bout a la. BAWIPA min teh pholennae awm seh telah a ti.
22 In all this Job hath not sinned, nor given folly to God.
Hetnaw dawkvah Job ni yonnae sak laipalah Cathut yonpennae tawn hoeh.
