Job 1
1 There was a man in the land of Hus, whose name was Job, and that man was simple and upright, and fearing God, and avoiding evil.
ウヅの地にヨブと名くる人あり 其人と爲完全かつ正くして神を畏れ惡に遠ざかる
2 And there were 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, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a family exceeding great: 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 every one in 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 were gone about, Job sent to them, and sanctified them: and rising up early offered holocausts for every one of them. For he said: Lest perhaps my sons have sinned, and have blessed God in their hearts. So did Job all 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 Now on a certain day when the sons of God came to stand before the Lord, Satan also was present 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 And the Lord said to him: 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
8 And the Lord said to him: Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a simple and upright man, and fearing God, and avoiding 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 And Satan answering, said: Doth Job fear God in vain?
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 Hast not thou made a fence for him, and his house, and all his substance round about, blessed the works of his hands, and his possession hath increased on the earth?
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 stretch forth thy hand a little, and touch all that he hath, and see if he blesseth thee not to thy 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 Then the Lord said to Satan: Behold, all that he hath is in thy hand: only put not forth thy hand upon his person. And Satan went forth from the presence 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 Now upon a certain day when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their eldest 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 There came a messenger to Job, and said: The oxen were ploughing, and the asses feeding 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 took all away, and slew the servants with the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell thee.
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 yet speaking, another came, and said: The fire of God fell from heaven, and striking the sheep and the servants, hath consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell thee.
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て滅ぼせり 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 yet speaking, there came another, and said: The Chaldeans made three troops, and have fallen upon the camels, and taken them, moreover they have slain the servants with the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell thee.
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 yet speaking, and behold another came in, and said: Thy sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their elder 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をりしに
19 A violent wind came on a sudden from the side of the desert, and shook the four corners of the house, and it fell upon thy children and they are dead, and I alone have escaped to fell thee.
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 rose up, and rent his garments, and having shaven his head fell down upon 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 said: Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away: as it hath pleased the Lord so is it 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たまふなり ヱホバの御名は讚べきかな
22 In all these things Job sinned not by his lips, nor spoke he 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
