Job 2
1 And it came to pass on a certain day, that the angels of God came to stand before the Lord, and the devil came among them to stand before the Lord.
或日神の子等きたりてヱホバの前に立つ サタンも來りその中にありてヱホバの前に立つ
2 And the Lord, said to the devil, Whence come you? Then the devil said before the Lord, I am come from going through the world, and walking about the whole earth.
ヱホバ、サタンに言たまひけるは汝何處より來りしや サタン、ヱホバに應へて言けるは地を行めぐり此彼經あるきて來れり
3 And the Lord said to the devil, Hast you then observed my servant Job, that there is none of [men] upon the earth like him, a harmless, true, blameless, godly man, abstaining from all evil? and he yet cleaves to innocence, whereas you has told [me] to destroy his substance without cause?
ヱホバ、サタンに言たまひけるは汝心をもちひて我僕ヨブを見しや 彼のごとく完全かつ正くして神を畏れ惡に遠ざかる人世にあらざるなり 汝われを勸めて故なきに彼を打惱さしめしかど彼なほ己を完うして自ら堅くす
4 And the devil answered and said to the Lord, Skin for skin, all that a man has will he give as a ransom for his life.
サタン、ヱホバに應へて言けるは皮をもて皮に換るなれば人はその一切の所有物をもて己の生命に換ふべし
5 Nay, but put forth your hand, and touch his bones and his flesh: verily he will bless you to [your] face.
然ど今なんぢの手を伸て彼の骨と肉とを撃たまへ 然ば必らず汝の面にむかひて汝を詛はん
6 And the Lord said to the devil, Behold, I deliver him up to you; only save his life.
ヱホバ、サタンに言たまひけるは彼を汝の手に任す 只かれの生命を害ふ勿れと
7 So the devil went out from the Lord, and struck Job with sore boils from [his] feet to [his] head.
サタンやがてヱホバの前よりいでゆきヨブを撃てその足の跖より頂までに惡き腫物を生ぜしむ
8 And he took a potsherd to scrape away the discharge, and sat upon a dung-heap outside the city.
ヨブ土瓦の碎片を取り其をもて身を掻き灰の中に坐りぬ
9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
時にその妻かれに言けるは汝は尚も己を完うして自ら堅くするや 神を詛ひて死るに如ずと
10 But he looked on her, and said to her, You have spoken like one of the foolish women. If we have received good things of the hand of the Lord, shall we not endure evil things? In all these things that happened to him, Job sinned not at all with his lips before God.
然るに彼はこれに言ふ汝の言ところは愚なる婦の言ところに似たり 我ら神より福祉を受るなれば災禍をも亦受ざるを得んやと 此事においてはヨブまつたくその唇をもて罪を犯さざりき
11 Now his three friends having heard of all the evil that was come upon him, came to him each from his own country: Eliphaz the king of the Thaemans, Baldad sovereign of the Saucheans, Sophar king of he Minaeans: and they came to him with one accord, to comfort and to visit him.
時にヨブの三人の友この一切の災禍の彼に臨めるを聞き各おのれの處よりして來れり 即ちテマン人エリパズ、シュヒ人ビルダデおよびマアナ人ゾパル是なり 彼らヨブを弔りかつ慰めんとて互に約してきたりしが
12 And when they saw him from a distance they did not know him; and they cried with a loud voice, and wept, and tore every one his garment, and sprinkled dust upon [their heads],
目を擧て遙に觀しに其ヨブなるを見識がたき程なりければ齊く聲を擧て泣き 各おのれの外衣を裂き天にむかひて塵を撒て己の頭の上にちらし
13 and they sat down beside him seven days and seven nights, and no one of them spoke; for they saw that his affliction was dreadful and very great.
乃ち七日七夜かれと偕に地に坐しゐて 一言も彼に言かくる者なかりき 彼が苦惱の甚だ大なるを見たればなり
