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.
Hlang pakhat, a ming ah Job tah Uz khohmuen ah om. Tekah hlang tah cuemthuek neh a thuem la, Pathen aka rhih tih boethae lamloh aka nong la om.
2 And there are borne to him seven sons and three daughters,
Anih te capa parhih neh canu pathum a sak.
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.
Anih kah boiva he boiva thawng rhih, kalauk thawng thum, vaito rhoi ya nga, laak ya nga om. Imkhut khaw muep ping tih khothoeng koca boeih lakah hlang len la om.
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 ca rhoek khaw cet uh tih amah khohnin vaengah amah im kah buhkoknah rhip a saii uh. Te vaengah a ngannu pathum te a tah uh tih a khue uh. A ngannu rhoek khaw amih neh a caak a ok uh.
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.
Buhkoknah khohnin a poeng van neh Job loh amih te a tah tih a ciim. Job loh, “Ka ca rhoek he tholh uh mai khaming, tedae a thinko ah Pathen uem mai saeh,” a ti. Te dongah amih boeih a tarhing la mincang ah thoo tih hmueihhlutnah a nawn. Te tlam te Job loh hnin takuem a saii.
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.
Hnin at ah Pathen ca rhoek te cet uh tih BOEIPA taengah pai. Te vaengah Satan khaw amih lakli ah cet.
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.'
BOEIPA loh Satan te, “Me lamkah lae na pawk,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Satan loh BOEIPA te doo tih, “Diklai ah ka van thikthuek tih a khuiah ka pongpa coeng,” a ti nah.
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?'
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,” a ti nah.
9 And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, 'For nought is Job fearing God?
Satan loh BOEIPA te a doo tih, “Lunglilungla mai la Job loh Pathen a rhih tang nim?
10 Hast not Thou made a hedge for him, and for his house, and for all that he hath — round about?
Namah loh anih ham neh a imkhui ham khaw, a taengkah boeih ham khaw vong na buk pah moenih a? A kut dongkah bibi te yoe na then sak tih a boiva loh diklai ah pungtai.
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!'
Tedae na kut na hlah lamtah anih hut te boeih ben lah, na mikhmuh ah nang n'uem tang mahpawh,” a ti nah.
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.
BOEIPA loh Satan te, “A taengkah boeih ke na kut ah om ne. Tedae amah soah tah na kut hlah boeh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah Satan te BOEIPA mikhmuh lamloh khoe uh.
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 at vaengah a capa rhoek neh a canu rhoek loh a maya caming im ah buh a caak uh tih misurtui a ok uh.
14 And a messenger hath come in unto Job and saith, 'The oxen have been plowing, and the she-asses feeding by their sides,
Te vaengah Job taengla puencawn ha pawk tih, “Vaito te olmueh la om tih a hmatoeng ah laak luem.
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.'
Tedae Sheba tah capit uh tih te rhoek te a mawt coeng. Camoe rhoek te khaw cunghang ha neh a ngawn uh. Kai kamah bueng he nang taengah aka puen la dawk ka loeih,” a ti nah.
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.'
Te te a thui li vaengah pakhat ha pawk tih, “Pathen hmai tah vaan lamloh tla tih boiva te a toih coeng. Camoe rhoek te khaw a hlawp coeng. Kai kamah bueng he nang taengah aka puen la dawk ka loeih,” a ti nah.
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.'
Te te thui li vaengah pakhat ha pawk tih, “Khalden rhoek hlop thum la yolh uh tih kalauk dongla capit uh. Te rhoek te a khuen phoeiah camoe rhoek te cunghang ha neh a ngawn. Kai kamah bueng he nang taengah aka puen la dawk ka loeih,” a ti nah.
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.
Te te a thui vaengah pakhat a pawk pah tih, “Na capa rhoek neh na canu rhoek loh buh a caak uh tih a maya caming im ah misurtui a ok uh.
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.'
Te vaengah rhalvang khosoek lamloh khohli puei tarha cu tih im kil pali te a nen. Te dongah camoe rhoek a cungku thil tih duek uh. Kai kamah bueng he nang taengah aka puen la dawk ka loeih,” a ti nah.
20 And Job riseth, and rendeth his robe, and shaveth his head, and falleth to the earth, and doth obeisance,
Te vaengah Job thoo tih a hnikul te a phen. A lu te a vok. Diklai la khup tih bakop.
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.'
Te phoeiah, “A nu bungko lamloh ka thoeng vaengah, pumtling la ka thoeng tih pumtling la ka mael ni. BOEIPA a paek tih BOEIPA loh a loh dongah, BOEIPA ming tah yoethen la om pai saeh,” a ti.
22 In all this Job hath not sinned, nor given folly to God.
A cungkuem dongah he Job tholh pawt tih Pathen taengah khaw a hohap a paek moenih.
