Joba 2
1 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.
Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah; and Satan came also among them to present himself before Jehovah.
2 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.
And Jehovah said to Satan, Whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From wandering over the earth, and walking up and down in it.
3 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.
Then said Jehovah to Satan, Hast thou observed my servant Job, that there is none like him upon the earth, an upright and good man, fearing God and departing from evil? And still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou didst excite me against him to destroy him without a cause.
4 Satan loh BOEIPA te a doo tih, “A vin ham a vin coeng tih a hinglu ham te hlang taengla boeih a paek ni.
And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
5 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.
But put forth now thy hand, and touch his bone and his flesh, and to thy face will he renounce thee.
6 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Satan te, “Anih te namah kut ah om dae a hinglu te tah ngaithuen,” a ti nah.
And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand; but spare his life.
7 Te dongah Satan te BOEIPA mikhmuh lamloh khoe uh tih Job te buhlut thae neh a kho khopha lamloh a luki duela a ngawn.
Then Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot to his crown.
8 Te te khoeih hamla amah loh paikaek a loh tih hmaiphu khui ah ngol.
And he took a potsherd to scrape himself withal, and sat down among the ashes.
9 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.
Then said his wife to him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? Renounce God, and die.
10 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.
But he said to her, Thou talkest like one of the foolish women. What! shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this, Job sinned not with his lips.
11 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.
Now three friends of Job heard of all this evil that had come upon him, and came each one from his home; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; for they had agreed to come to mourn with him, and to comfort him.
12 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.
And they lifted up their eyes at a distance, and knew him not; then they raised their voices and wept, and rent each one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
13 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.
And they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word to him; for they saw that his grief was very great.
