Job 1
1 There was a certain man in the land of Ausis, whose name [was] Job; and than man was true, blameless, righteous, [and] godly, abstaining from everything 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 he had seven sons and three daughters.
その生る者は男の子七人女の子三人
3 And his cattle consisted of seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she-asses in the pastures, and a very great household, and he had a great husbandry on the earth; and that man was [most] noble of the [men] 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 visiting one another prepared a banquet every day, taking with them also 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 the banquet were completed, Job sent and purified them, having risen up in the morning, and offered sacrifices for them, according to their number, and one calf for a sin-offering for their souls: for Job said, Lest perhaps my sons have thought evil in their minds against God. Thus, then Job did continually.
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 And it came to pass on a day, that behold, the angels of God came to stand before the Lord, and the devil came with 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 the devil, Whence are you come? And the devil answered the Lord, and said, I am come from compassing the earth, and walking up and down in the world.
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 you diligently considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a man blameless, true, godly, abstaining from everything 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 Then the devil answered, and said before the Lord, Does Job worship the Lord for nothing?
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 you not made a hedge about him, and about his household, and all his possessions round about? and have you not blessed the works of his hands, and multiplied his cattle upon 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 put forth your hand, and touch all that he has: verily he will bless 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 Then the Lord said to the devil, Behold, I give into your hand all that he has, but touch not himself. So the devil went out 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 And it came to pass on a certain day, that Job's sons and his daughters were drinking wine in the house of their elder 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 And, behold, there came a messenger to Job, and said to him, The yokes of oxen were plowing, and the she-asses were feeding near 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 spoilers came and took them for a prey, and killed the servants with the sword; and I having escaped alone am come 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 While he was yet speaking, there came another messenger, and said to Job, Fire has fallen from heaven, and burnt up the sheep, and devoured the shepherds like wise; and I having escaped alone am come 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 While he was yet speaking, there came another messenger, and said to Job, The horsemen formed three companies against us, and surrounded the camels, and took them for a prey, and killed the servants with the sword; and I only escaped, and am come 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 While he is yet speaking, another messenger comes, saying to Job, While your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking with 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 suddenly a great wind came on from the desert, and caught the four corners of the house, and the house fell upon your children, and they are dead; and I have escaped alone, and am come 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 So Job arose, and tore his garments, and shaved the hair of his head, and fell on the earth, 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, I myself came forth naked from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there; the Lord gave, the Lord has taken away: as it seemed good to the Lord, so has it come to pass; 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 events that befell him Job sinned not at all before the Lord, and did not impute folly to 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
