Job 2
1 And on a day the children of God came and stood before the Lord, and Satan came also among them, and stoode 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 Then the Lord sayde vnto Satan, Whence commest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and sayd, From compassing the earth to and from, and from walking in it.
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 sayd vnto Satan, Hast thou not considered my seruant Iob, how none is like him in the earth? an vpright and iust man, one that feareth God, and escheweth euill? for yet he continueth in his vprightnesse, although thou mouedst me against him, to destroy him 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 Satan answered the Lord, and sayde, Skin for skin, and all that euer a man hath, will he giue 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 But stretch now out thine hand, and touch his bones and his flesh, to see if he will not blaspheme thee to thy 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 Then the Lord said vnto Satan, Lo, he is in thine hand, but saue 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 Satan departed from the presence of the Lord, and smote Iob with sore boyles, from the sole of his foote vnto his crowne.
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 tooke a potsharde to scrape him, and he sate downe among the ashes.
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 vnto him, Doest thou continue yet in thine vprightnes? Blaspheme God, and dye.
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 said vnto her, Thou speakest like a foolish woman: what? shall we receiue good at the hande of God, and not receiue euill? In all this did not Iob sinne with his lippes.
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 Nowe when Iobs three friends heard of all this euill that was come vpon him, they came euery one from his owne place, to wit, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they were agreed together to come to lament with him, and to comfort 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 So when they lift vp their eyes a farre off, they knewe him not: therefore they lift vp their voyces and wept, and euery one of them rent his garment, and sprinkled dust vpon their heads toward the heauen.
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 So they sate by him vpon the ground seuen dayes, and seuen nights, and none spake a worde vnto him: for they sawe, that the griefe was 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
