Job 1
1 There was a man in the land of Uz named Job, and he was a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil.
ウヅの地にヨブと名くる人あり 其人と爲完全かつ正しくして神を畏れ惡に遠ざかる
2 And there had been born to him seven sons and three daughters.
その生る者は男の子七人女の子三人
3 And his possession was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, along with five hundred pairs of oxen and five hundred she-donkeys, and also a very large family. And this man was great among all the people of the east.
その所有物は羊七千 駱駝三千 牛五百軛 牝驢馬五百 僕も夥多しくあり 此人は東の人の中にて最も大なる者なり
4 And his sons went and made a feast by houses, each one on his day. And sending, they called their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
その子等おのおの己の家にて己の日に宴筵を設くる事を爲し その三人の姉妹をも招きて與に食飮せしむ
5 And when the days of their feasting had been completed, Job sent to them and sanctified them, and, getting up at dawn, he offered holocausts for each one. For he said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned and have not praised God in their hearts.” So Job did all the days.
その宴筵の日はつる毎にヨブかならず彼らを召よせて潔む 即ち朝はやく興き彼ら一切の數にしたがひて燔祭を獻ぐ 是はヨブ我子ら罪を犯し心を神を忘れたらんも知べからずと謂てなり ヨブの爲ところ常に是のごとし
6 But on a certain day, when the sons of God came to attend in the presence of the Lord, Satan also arrived among them.
或日神の子等きたりてヱホバの前に立つ サタンも來りてその中にあり
7 The Lord said to him, “Where do you come from?” Answering, he said, “I have circled the land, and walked around 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
8 And the Lord said to him, “Have you not considered my servant, Job? For there is no one like him in the land, a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil.”
ヱホバ、サタンに言たまひけるは汝心をもちひてわが僕ヨブを觀しや 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
9 Answering him, Satan said, “Does Job fear God to no purpose?
サタン、ヱホバに應へて言けるはヨブあにもとむることなくして神を畏れんや
10 Have you not fortified him, as well as his house and every one of his belongings around him, blessed the works of his hands, and his possession has increased in the land?
汝彼とその家およびその一切の所有物の周圍に藩屏を設けたまふにあらずや 汝かれが手に爲ところを盡く成就せしむるがゆゑにその所有物地に遍ねし
11 But extend your hand a little, and touch all that he possesses, and see if he still praises you to your face.”
然ど汝の手を伸て彼の一切の所有物を撃たまへ 然ば必ず汝の面にむかひて汝を詛はん
12 Therefore, the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, everything that he has is in your hand, only do not extend your hand against him.” And Satan departed from the face of the Lord.
ヱホバ、サタンに言たまひけるは視よ彼の一切の所有物を汝の手に任す 唯かれの身に汝の手をつくる勿れ サタンすなはちヱホバの前よりいでゆけり
13 So, on a certain day, when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine, in the house of their first-born brother,
或日ヨブの子女等その第一の兄の家にて物食ひ酒飮ゐたる時
14 a messenger came to Job, who said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys were grazing beside them,
使者ヨブの許に來りて言ふ 牛耕しをり牝驢馬その傍に草食をりしに
15 and the Sabeans rushed in and carried away everything, and they struck the servants with the sword; and I alone evaded them to tell you.”
シバ人襲ひて之を奪ひ刄をもて少者を打殺せり 我ただ一人のがれて汝に告んとて來れりと
16 And while he was still speaking, another arrived, and he said, “The fire of God fell from heaven, and, having struck the sheep and the servants, it consumed them; and I alone escaped to tell you.”
彼なほ語ひをる中に又一人きたりて言ふ 神の火天より降りて羊および少者を焚きて滅せり 我ただ一人のがれて汝に告んとて來れりと
17 And while he also was still speaking, another arrived, and he said, “The Chaldeans organized three attacks, and advanced on the camels and took them; and not only that, but they have struck the servants with the sword; and I alone fled to tell you.”
彼なほ語ひをる中に又一人きたりて言ふ カルデヤ人三隊に分れ來て駱駝を襲ひてこれを奪ひ刄をもて少者を打殺せり我ただ一人のがれて汝に告んとて來れりと
18 He was still speaking, and behold, another entered, and he said, “Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine in the house of their first-born brother,
彼なほ語ひをる中に又一人來りて言ふ汝の子女等その第一の兄の家にて物食ひ酒飮みをりしに
19 when suddenly a severe wind rushed forth from a region of the desert and shook the four corners of the house, which collapsed and crushed your children, and they are dead; and I alone escaped to tell you.”
荒野の方より大風ふき來て家の四隅を撃ければ夫の若き人々の上に潰れおちて皆しねり 我これを汝に告んとて只一人のがれ來れりと
20 Then Job got up and tore his garments, and, having shaved his head, he collapsed on the ground, and worshipped,
是においてヨブ起あがり外衣を裂き髮を斬り地に伏して拜し
21 and he said, “Naked I departed from my mother’s womb, and naked I shall return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away. Just as it pleased the Lord, so has it been done. Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
言ふ我裸にて母の胎を出たり 又裸にて彼處に歸らん ヱホバ與へヱホバ取りたまふなり ヱホバの御名は讚べきかな
22 In all this, Job did not sin by his lips, nor did he speak any foolish thing against God.
この事においてヨブは全く罪を犯さず神にむかひて愚なることを言ざりき
