< Job 1 >

1 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.
There was a certain man in the land of Ausis, whose name [was] Job; and than man was true, blameless, righteous, [and] godly, abstaining from everything evil.
2 Joh hin chapa sagi le chanu thum aneije.
And he had seven sons and three daughters.
3 Chule Job hin kelngoi sang sagi, sangongsao sang thum, bongchal kop janga, le sanganpi janga aneije. Amapa hin soh jong tamtah anei ahi. Atahbeh in Job hi hiche gamkai sungse dinga ahaopen ahi.
And his cattle consisted of seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she-asses in the pastures, and a very great household, and he had a great husbandry on the earth; and that man was [most] noble of the [men] of the east.
4 Job chapate aphat lhingpen pen chun ainnuva nehkhom donkhom abol tenguleh, asopiu numei thumho jong chu golvah bolkhompi din akou jiuve.
And his sons visiting one another prepared a banquet every day, taking with them also their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
5 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.
And when the days of the banquet were completed, Job sent and purified them, having risen up in the morning, and offered sacrifices for them, according to their number, and one calf for a sin-offering for their souls: for Job said, Lest perhaps my sons have thought evil in their minds against God. Thus, then Job did continually.
6 Nikhat hi van thutanna in na thutanho ama ho cham chamin Pakai masanga ahung kikhomun chule hehhatpa Satan chu amaho toh ahung lhung khome.
And it came to pass on a day, that behold, the angels of God came to stand before the Lord, and the devil came with them.
7 “Hoiya konna hung nahim?” tin Pakaiyin Satan adonge. Satan in Pakai adonbut in, Leiset chung kaga vet lhih lea, thilsoh jouse kaga vetle ahi.
And the Lord said to the devil, Whence are you come? And the devil answered the Lord, and said, I am come from compassing the earth, and walking up and down in the world.
8 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.
And the Lord said to him, Hast you diligently considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a man blameless, true, godly, abstaining from everything evil?
9 Satan in Pakai adonbut in, “Henge Job in Pathen aginna ajeh hoitah anei ahi.
Then the devil answered, and said before the Lord, Does Job worship the Lord for nothing?
10 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?
Hast you not made a hedge about him, and about his household, and all his possessions round about? and have you not blessed the works of his hands, and multiplied his cattle upon the land?
11 Nakhut lhangin lang anei jouse lahmang peh le chun; chuteng leh namai chang tah’a na gaosap jeng ding ahi,” ati.
But put forth your hand, and touch all that he has: verily he will bless you to [your] face.
12 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.
Then the Lord said to the devil, Behold, I give into your hand all that he has, but touch not himself. So the devil went out from the presence of the Lord.
13 Nikhat Job achapate le achanuten aupa pen pao in’a an anehkhom adonkhom laitah un,
And it came to pass on a certain day, that Job's sons and his daughters were drinking wine in the house of their elder brother.
14 Thupole khat in Job in'ah hiche thusoh hi ahinpoi; “Nabongchal hon lou akhoijuva, akimvella sangan hon an aneh laijun,
And, behold, there came a messenger to Job, and said to him, The yokes of oxen were ploughing, and the she-asses were feeding near them;
15 Seba miten eihin bulhu tauvin, ganchaho jouse akiguh manguvin chule natong ho athat gamun, keima changseh hi nangma seipeh dia hung sohcha kahi,” ati.
and the spoilers came and took them for a prey, and killed the servants with the sword; and I having escaped alone am come to tell you.
16 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.
While he was yet speaking, there came another messenger, and said to Job, Fire has fallen from heaven, and burnt up the sheep, and devoured the shepherds like wise; and I having escaped alone am come to tell you.
17 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.
While he was yet speaking, there came another messenger, and said to Job, The horsemen formed three companies against us, and surrounded the camels, and took them for a prey, and killed the servants with the sword; and I only escaped, and am come to tell you.
18 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,
While he is yet speaking, another messenger comes, saying to Job, While your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking with their elder brother,
19 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.
suddenly a great wind came on from the desert, and caught the four corners of the house, and the house fell upon your children, and they are dead; and I have escaped alone, and am come to tell you.
20 Job adingdoh in thilsoh lunggim najeh in asangkhol chol chu abottel in, alu akivo chaijin, chule chibai boh din tolla akun lhatai.
So Job arose, and tore his garments, and shaved the hair of his head, and fell on the earth, and worshipped,
21 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.
and said, I myself came forth naked from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there; the Lord gave, the Lord has taken away: as it seemed good to the Lord, so has it come to pass; blessed be the name of the Lord.
22 Hicheng jouse ahin Pathen themmo chansah nan achonsepoi.
In all these events that befell him Job sinned not at all before the Lord, and did not impute folly to God.
