¹There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” , and turned away from evil.

¹Uz gamah mi khat a oma, a min Job ahi; huan huai mi hoihkim leh tang ahi a, Pathian khitaa, hoihlou mudah.

²There were born to him seven sons and three daughters.

²Huan amah lakah tapa sagih leh tanu thum a piang ua.

³His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.

³A neihleh lam leng belam sang sagih leh, sangawngsau sang thum leh, bawngtal za nga leh, sabengtungnu za nga leh inkuan thupi mahmah ahi: huchiin hiai mipa suanlam tate tengteng lakah a thupipen ahi.

⁴His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his birthday; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.

⁴Huan a tapate a kuan ua a khat chiat in ah a niin ankuangluina a nei ua; huchiin mi a sawl ua a sanggamnumei thumte uh amau kianga ne ding leh dawn dingin a sam sak ua.

⁵It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts.” Job did so continually.

⁵Huan hichi ahia, a ankuang lui san laitak un, Jobin mi a sawla amaute a hihsiangthoua, jingsangin beltakin a thoua, a vekua zah dungjuiin halmang thillatte a lan: Jobin lah, Ka tapaten thil a hihkhial un, a lungtangte un Pathian a gensia uh ahi thei hi, a chi ngala.

⁶Now it happened on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. that Satan also came among them.

⁶Huchiin TOUPA maa Pathian tapate a hongkilak ni uh a om a, huan a lak uah Setam leng a hongpai sama.

⁷Yahweh said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”

⁷Huchiin TOUPAN Setan kiangah, kaw hongkipan na hia? a chi a. Huan Setanin TOUPA a dawnga, Leia langkhat langkhat hoha, a sunga tou vaka suk vak vak ka hi, a chi a.

⁸Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil.”

⁸Huan TOUPAN Setan kiangah, Ka sikha Job na ngaihtuah ngei hia? amah banga hoihkim leh mi tang, Pathian kihtaa hoihlou mudah leiah lah kuamah a om ngal kei a, a chi a.

⁹Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing?

⁹Huchiin Setanin TOUPA a dawnga, Bangmah lou dia Jobin Pathian kihta ahi maw?

¹⁰Haven’t you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

¹⁰Amah kimvelin leh, a in kimvelin leh, a neih tengteng kimvelin, ning chitengah umna na bawl kei maw? a khut nasep na vualjawla, gamsungah a neihlehlam a pung hi.

¹¹But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face.”

¹¹Himahleh tuin na khut suahkhia inla, a neih tengteng khoihin, huchiin na maitangah nang a hon gense ding hi, a chi a.

¹²Yahweh said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power. Only on himself don’t put forth your hand.” So Satan went forth from the presence of Yahweh.

¹²Huan TOUPAN Setan kiangah, Ngaiin, a neih tengteng nang thu ahi; amah mah tungah kia na khut kha ken, a chi a. Huchiin Setan a kuan khetaa TOUPA ma akipanin.

¹³It fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house,

¹³Huan a tapate leh a tanuten a unaupa uh upapen ina a nek ua uain a dawn lai un ni khat thuin a hongtunga,

¹⁴that there came a messenger to Job, and said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,

¹⁴Job kiangah sawltak khat a honga, Bawngtalten lei a let ua, sabengtungte a kiangah a gamta ua:

¹⁵and the Sabeans attacked, and took them away. Yes, they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

¹⁵Seba miten amau a delh ua, a pi mang uh; ahi, namsau hiamin sikhate a that ua; huan nang hilh dingin kei ke leuleu ka suakta hi, a chi a.

¹⁶While he was still speaking, there also came another, and said, “The fire of God has fallen from the sky, and has burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

¹⁶Huchia thu a gen laiin midang khat leng a honga, Van akipanin Pathian mei a kiaa, belamte leh, sikhate akang manga, amau a kangtum hi: huan nang hilh dingin kei keleuleu ka suakta hi, a chi a.

¹⁷While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, “The Chaldeans made three bands, and swept down on the camels, and have taken them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

¹⁷Huchia thu a gen lain, midangkhat a hong laia, Kaldai miten pawl thum a bawl ua, sangawngsaute a delh ua, a pi mangta uhi, huan namsau hiamin sikhate a that ua; huan nang hilh dingin kei keleuleu ka suakta hi, a chi a.

¹⁸While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house,

¹⁸Huchia thu a gen laiin, midang khat mah a honga, Na tapate leh na tanuten a unaupa upapen ina a nek ua uain a dawn lai un:

¹⁹and behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead. I alone have escaped to tell you.”

¹⁹Huan, ngaiin gamdai akipanin huih thupi a hongnunga, huai in ning lite a honnuaia, tangvalte tungah a chima, a si uh: huan nang hilh dingin kei keleuleu ka suakta hi, a chi a.

²⁰Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshiped.

²⁰Huchihlaiin Job a thou a, a puannaktual a botkeka, a lu a metsianga, leitung dennain a kineia, Pathian a beta hi;

²¹He said, “Naked I came out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return there. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away. Blessed be the name of Yahweh.”

²¹Huan aman, Ka nu sul akipan vuaktangin ka honga, huailamah vuaktangin ka kik ding: TOUPAN a piaa, huan TOUPAN a lamang ta hi; TOUPA min phatin om hen, a chi a.Hiai tengtengah Jobin a hihkhial keia, haihuaitakin Pathian leng a mohsa kei hi.

²²In all this, Job did not sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.

²²Hiai tengtengah Jobin a hihkhial keia, haihuaitakin Pathian leng a mohsa kei hi.
