Job 1
1 There was a man in the lande of Vz called Iob, and this man was an vpright and iust man, one that feared God, and eschewed euill.
乌斯地有一个人名叫约伯；那人完全正直，敬畏 神，远离恶事。
2 And he had seue sonnes, and three daughters.
他生了七个儿子，三个女儿。
3 His substance also was seuen thousande sheepe, and three thousand camels, and fiue hundreth yoke of oxen, and fiue hundreth shee asses, and his family was very great, so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the East.
他的家产有七千羊，三千骆驼，五百对牛，五百母驴，并有许多仆婢。这人在东方人中就为至大。
4 And his sonnes went and banketted in their houses, euery one his day, and sent, and called their three sisters to eate and to drinke with them.
他的儿子按着日子各在自己家里设摆筵宴，就打发人去，请了他们的三个姊妹来，与他们一同吃喝。
5 And when the dayes of their banketting were gone about, Iob sent, and sanctified them, and rose vp early in the morning, and offred burnt offrings according to the nomber of them all. For Iob thought, It may be that my sonnes haue sinned, and blasphemed God in their hearts: thus did Iob euery day.
筵宴的日子过了，约伯打发人去叫他们自洁。他清早起来，按着他们众人的数目献燔祭；因为他说：“恐怕我儿子犯了罪，心中弃掉 神。”约伯常常这样行。
6 Nowe on a day when the children of God came and stoode before the Lord, Satan came also among them.
有一天， 神的众子来侍立在耶和华面前，撒但也来在其中。
7 Then the Lord sayde vnto Satan, Whence commest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, saying, From compassing the earth to and from, and from walking in it.
耶和华问撒但说：“你从哪里来？”撒但回答说：“我从地上走来走去，往返而来。”
8 And the Lord saide vnto Satan, Hast thou not considered my seruant Iob, how none is like him in the earth? an vpright and iust man, one that feareth God, and escheweth euill?
耶和华问撒但说：“你曾用心察看我的仆人约伯没有？地上再没有人像他完全正直，敬畏 神，远离恶事。”
9 Then Satan answered the Lord, and sayde, Doeth Iob feare God for nought?
撒但回答耶和华说：“约伯敬畏 神，岂是无故呢？
10 Hast thou not made an hedge about him and about his house, and about all that he hath on euery side? thou hast blessed the worke of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
你岂不是四面圈上篱笆围护他和他的家，并他一切所有的吗？他手所做的都蒙你赐福；他的家产也在地上增多。
11 But stretch out now thine hand and touch all that he hath, to see if he will not blaspheme thee to thy face.
你且伸手毁他一切所有的；他必当面弃掉你。”
12 Then the Lord sayde vnto Satan, Lo, all that he hath is in thine hand: onely vpon himselfe shalt thou not stretch out thine hand. So Satan departed from the presence of the Lord.
耶和华对撒但说：“凡他所有的都在你手中；只是不可伸手加害于他。”于是撒但从耶和华面前退去。
13 And on a day, when his sonnes and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brothers house,
有一天，约伯的儿女正在他们长兄的家里吃饭喝酒，
14 There came a messenger vnto Iob, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding in their places,
有报信的来见约伯，说：“牛正耕地，驴在旁边吃草，
15 And the Shabeans came violently, and tooke them: yea, they haue slayne the seruants with the edge of the sworde: but I onely am escaped alone to tell thee.
示巴人忽然闯来，把牲畜掳去，并用刀杀了仆人；惟有我一人逃脱，来报信给你。”
16 And whiles he was yet speaking, another came, and sayde, The fire of God is fallen from the heauen, and hath burnt vp the sheepe and the seruants, and deuoured them: but I onely am escaped alone to tell thee.
他还说话的时候，又有人来说：“神从天上降下火来，将群羊和仆人都烧灭了；惟有我一人逃脱，来报信给你。”
17 And whiles he was yet speaking, another came, and sayd, The Caldeans set on three bands, and fell vpon the camels, and haue taken them, and haue slayne the seruantes with the edge of the sworde: but I onely am escaped alone to tell thee.
他还说话的时候，又有人来说：“迦勒底人分作三队忽然闯来，把骆驼掳去，并用刀杀了仆人；惟有我一人逃脱，来报信给你。”
18 And whiles he was yet speaking, came an other, and sayd, Thy sonnes, and thy daughters were eating, and drinking wine in their eldest brothers house,
他还说话的时候，又有人来说：“你的儿女正在他们长兄的家里吃饭喝酒，
19 And behold, there came a great wind from beyonde the wildernesse, and smote the foure corners of the house, which fel vpon the children, and they are dead, and I onely am escaped alone to tell thee.
不料，有狂风从旷野刮来，击打房屋的四角，房屋倒塌在少年人身上，他们就都死了；惟有我一人逃脱，来报信给你。”
20 Then Iob arose, and rent his garment, and shaued his head, and fel downe vpon the ground, and worshipped,
约伯便起来，撕裂外袍，剃了头，伏在地上下拜，
21 And sayd, Naked came I out of my mothers wombe, and naked shall I returne thither: the Lord hath giuen, and the Lord hath taken it: blessed be the Name of the Lord.
说：“我赤身出于母胎，也必赤身归回；赏赐的是耶和华，收取的也是耶和华。耶和华的名是应当称颂的。”
22 In all this did not Iob sinne, nor charge God foolishly.
在这一切的事上约伯并不犯罪，也不以 神为愚妄。
