Job 2
1 And it happened [again] on a certain day, when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, that the Accuser also came in the midst of them to present himself before the Lord.
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 Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Whence comest thou now? And the Accuser answered the Lord, and said, From roaming over the earth, and from wandering 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 Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Hast thou directed thy attention toward my servant Job: for there is none like him on the earth, a man perfect and upright, who feareth God, and escheweth evil? and he is still holding fast to his integrity, and thou hast incited me against him, to destroy 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 Then answered the Accuser the Lord, and said, Skin for skin: yea, all that a man hath will he give in behalf of 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 stretch only forth thy hand, and touch his bone and his flesh, and [see] whether he will not renounce 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 Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Behold, he is in thy hand: only take care of 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 Thereupon went the Accuser forth from the presence of the Lord, and he smote Job with a sore inflammation, from the sole of his foot unto the crown 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 [Job] took himself a potsherd to scrape himself there with, while he was sitting down among the ashes.
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 Then said his wife unto him, Art thou still holding fast to thy integrity? renounce 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 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the worthless women would speak. What? should we accept the good alone, from God, and the evil we should not accept? With all this did Job 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 When now the three friends of Job had heard of all this evil that was come over him, they came every one from his own place, Eliphaz the Themanite, and Bildad the Shuchite, and Zophar the Na'amthite; and they met together to come to condole with him and to 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 lifted up their eyes afar off, and they recognised him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his robe, and strewed dust upon their heads toward 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 They likewise sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights; but no one spoke a word unto him; for they saw that his pain 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
