Job 2
1 And it came to pass, when on a certain day the sons of God came, and stood before the Lord, and Satan came among them, and stood in his sight,
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 That the Lord said to Satan: Whence comest thou? And he answered and said: I have gone round about the earth, and walked through 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 in the earth, a man simple, and upright, and fearing God, and avoiding evil, and still keeping his innocence? But thou hast moved me against him, that I should afflict 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, and said: Skin for skin, and all that a man hath he will 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, and touch his bone and his flesh, and then thou shalt gee that he will bless 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 be is in thy hand, but yet 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 struck Job with a very grievous ulcer, from the sole of the foot even to the top of 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 and scraped the corrupt matter, sitting on a dunghill.
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 And his wife said to him: Dost thou still continue in thy simplicity? bless God and die.
時にその妻かれに言けるは汝は尚も己を完たうして自ら堅くするや 神を詛ひて死るに如ずと
10 And he said to her: Thou hast; spoken like one of the foolish women: if we have received good things at the hand of God, why should we not receive evil? In all these things Job did not 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 all the evil that had befallen him, they came every one from his own place, Alphas the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Sophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment to come together and visit him, and 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々おのれの處よりして來れり 即ちテマン人エリパズ、シユ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 had lifted up their eyes afar off, they knew him not, and crying out they wept, and rending their garments they sprinkled dust upon their heads towards 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 And they sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no man spoke to him a word: 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
