約伯記 2
1 又有一天，天主的眾子都前來侍立在上主面前，撒殫也夾在他們當中，侍立在上主面前。
And it was the day and they came [the] sons of God to present themselves on Yahweh and he came also the adversary in midst of them to present himself on Yahweh.
2 上主向撒殫說：「你從那裏來﹖」撒殫回答上主說：「我走遍了世界，周遊了各地回來。」
And he said Yahweh to the adversary where? from this are you coming and he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said from roving about on the earth and from going about on it.
3 上主對撒殫說：「你曾留心注意到我的僕人約伯嗎﹖世上沒有一個像他那樣十全十美，生性正直，敬畏天主，遠避邪惡的人。你雖然激動我加害他，無端叫他傾家蕩產，但他依然保持自己的完善。」
And he said Yahweh to the adversary ¿ have you set heart your to servant my Job for there not [is] like him on the earth a man blameless and upright fearing God and [who] turns aside from evil and still he [is] keeping hold on integrity his and you incited me against him to ruin him without cause.
4 撒殫回答上主說：「那只不過是以皮換皮罷了! 人都肯捨棄所有，去保全自己的性命。
And he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said skin for skin and all that [belongs] to the man he will give for life his.
5 但是，你若伸手打擊他的骨和肉，他必定當面詛咒你。」
But stretch out please hand your and touch bone his and flesh his if not to face your he will bless you.
6 上主向撒殫說：「看，任你處置他，但要保留他的性命。」
And he said Yahweh to the adversary there he [is] in hand your surely life his preserve.
7 撒殫從上主那裏出來，就使約伯從足踵到頭頂都長了毒瘡。
And he went out the adversary from with [the] presence of Yahweh and he struck Job with boil[s] bad from [the] sole of foot his (and to *Q(K)*) scalp his.
8 約伯坐在灰土堆中，用瓦片刮身。
And he took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with it and he [was] sitting in [the] midst the ash[es].
9 他的妻子向他說：「你還保持你的完善嗎﹖你倒不如詛咒天主，死了算了! 」
And she said to him wife his [are] still? you keeping hold on integrity your bless God and die.
10 約伯向她說：「你說話，真像一個糊塗女人! 難道我們只由天主那裏接受恩惠，而不接受災禍嗎﹖」就這一切事而論，約伯沒有犯失言的過錯。
And he said to her as speaks one of the foolish women you are speaking also the good will we accept? from with God and the evil not will we accept? in all this not he sinned Job with lips his.
11 約伯的三位朋友，特曼人厄里法次、叔亞人彼耳達得、納阿瑪人左法爾，聽說他遭遇了災禍，就各從本地起程，來到一起，去慰問他、勸勉他，
And they heard [the] three - [the] friends of Job all the evil this that it had come on him and they came each one from own place his Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite and they met by appointment together to come to show sympathy to him and to comfort him.
12 他們從遠處舉目一望，已認不得他，就放聲大哭，撕破了自己的外衣，把灰揚起，落在自己頭上。
And they lifted up eyes their from a distance and not they recognized him and they lifted up voice their and they wept and they tore each one robe his and they sprinkled dust on heads their the heavens towards.
13 他們於是同他在灰土中，坐了七天七夜，因見他受苦太大，沒有人敢向他說一句話。
And they sat with him to the ground seven days and seven nights and not [anyone was] speaking to him a word for they saw that it was great the pain exceedingly.
