Job 2
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
World English Bible
1Ni kalah nito naah, Angraeng hmaa ah amtueng hanah Sithaw ih caanawk to angzoh o, Setan doeh Angraeng hmaa ah amtueng hanah nihcae hoi nawnto angzoh toeng.
1Again, on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before the LORD, Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
2Angraeng mah Setan khaeah, naa hoiah maw nang zoh? tiah a naa. Setan mah Angraeng khaeah, Long pum ahnuk ahmaa kam het nakung hoiah kang zoh, tiah a naa.
2The LORD said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered the LORD, and said, “From going back and forth on the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”
3To pacoengah Angraeng mah Setan khaeah, Ka tamna Job ho na poek vai maw? Anih baktih kami long nuiah mi doeh om ai; anih loe coek koi om ai, katoeng kami ah oh, Sithaw to zit moe, kasae hmuen sak koeh ai kami ah oh; tidoeh na ai ah anih amrosak hanah kai nang zoek cadoeh, anih loe oepthok kami ah ni oh poe, tiah a naa.
3The LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause.”
4Setan mah Angraeng khaeah, Ahin hanah ahin, tiah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, kami maeto mah a tawnh ih hmuen to a hinghaih hanah paek boih tih.
4Satan answered the LORD, and said, “Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life.
5Toe vaihi na ban to phok ah loe, anih ih ngan hoi ahuh to sui ah, na hmaa roe ah nang hae kasae thui tih, tiah a naa.
5But stretch out your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face.”
6Angraeng mah Setan khaeah, Khenah, anih loe na ban ah oh, toe a hinghaih to pathlung ah, tiah a naa.
6The LORD said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand. Only spare his life.”
7To pongah Setan loe Angraeng hmaa hoi tacawt moe, Job to khokpadae hoi lu khoek to ahlut mansak.
7So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful sores from the sole of his foot to his head.
8Job loe tak tahawh haih hanah kakoi long laom to lak moe, maiphu thungah anghnut.
8He took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with, and he sat among the ashes.
9A zu mah anih khaeah, Katoeng kami ah maw na oh poe han vop? Sithaw to pasoih ah loe dueh khae, tiah a naa.
9Then his wife said to him, “Do you still maintain your integrity? Renounce God, and die.”
10Toe anih mah a zu khaeah, Kamthu koek nongpata baktiah lok na paeh; Sithaw khae hoi kahoih hmuen a hak o baktih toengah, kasae hmuen doeh a hak o mak ai maw? tiah a naa. Hae hmuennawk boih a tongh, toe Job loe pahni hoiah mataeng doeh zaehaih sah ai.
10But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?” In all this Job didn’t sin with his lips.
11Job nuiah kaom kasae hmuennawk kawng to ampui thumtonawk mah thaih o; Teman acaeng Eliphaz, Shuh acaeng Bildad hoi Naamath acaeng Zophar cae loe angmacae im hoiah angzoh o; anih to palungset o haih moe, pathloep hanah ani to khaeh o.
11Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that had come on him, they each came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to sympathize with him and to comfort him.
12Nihcae mah kangthla hoiah khet o naah, Job to maat o ai boeh; nihcae loe tha hoiah qah o; angmacae ih kahni to asih o moe, angmacae lu nuiah krak hanah maiphu to van ah a haeh o.
12When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and didn’t recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and sprinkled dust on their heads toward the sky.
13To tiah nihcae mah Job to long ah ni sarihto hoi qum sarihto thung anghnut o haih, anih patangkhanghaih loe nat pae hmoek pongah, mi mah doeh anih to lok tapring o ai.
13So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.
