Job 2
1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself 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 Satan, From where comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down upon 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 said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou didst move 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 said, Skin for skin, even, all that a man hath will he give 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 put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse 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 And the LORD said to Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand; but 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 Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with severe boils from the sole of his foot to his crown.
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 himself with; and he sat down 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 to him, Dost thou still retain thy 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 said to her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
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 when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that had come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn 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 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they raised their voice, and wept; and they tore every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
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 sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word to him: for they saw that his grief 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
