Job 1
1 There has been a man in the land of Uz—his name Job—and that man has been perfect and upright—both fearing God, and turning aside from evil.
ウヅの地にヨブと名くる人あり 其人と爲完全かつ正しくして神を畏れ惡に遠ざかる
2 And seven sons and three daughters are borne to him,
その生る者は男の子七人女の子三人
3 and his substance is seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred pairs of oxen, and five hundred female donkeys, and a very abundant service; and that man is greater than any of the sons 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 have gone and made a banquet—the house of each [in] his day—and have sent and called to their three sisters to eat and to 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 it comes to pass, when they have gone around the days of the banquet, that Job sends and sanctifies them, and has risen early in the morning, and caused burnt-offerings to ascend—the number of them all—for Job said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned, yet blessed God in their heart.” Thus Job does all the 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 And the day is, that sons of God come to station themselves by YHWH, and there also comes Satan in their midst.
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 YHWH says to Satan, “Where do you come from?” And Satan answers YHWH and says, “From going to and fro in the land, and from walking up and down on 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 YHWH says to Satan, “Have you set your heart against My servant Job because there is none like him in the land, a man perfect and upright, fearing God, and turning aside from 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 answers YHWH and says, “Is Job fearing God 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 Have You not made a hedge for him, and for his house, and for all that he has—all around?
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 You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance has spread in the land, and yet, put forth Your hand now, and strike against anything that he has—if not, he blesses 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 And YHWH says to Satan, “Behold, all that he has [is] in your hand, only do not put forth your hand to him.” And Satan goes out from the presence of YHWH.
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 the day is, that his sons and his daughters are eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn.
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 a messenger has come to Job and says, “The oxen have been plowing, and the female donkeys feeding by their sides,
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 Sheba falls, and takes them, and they have struck the young men by the mouth of the sword, and I have escaped—only I alone—to declare [it] to 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 this [one] is speaking another has also come and says, “Fire of God has fallen from the heavens, and burns among the flock, and among the young men, and consumes them, and I have escaped—only I alone—to declare [it] to 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きて滅せり 我ただ一人のがれて汝に告んとて來れりと
17 While this [one] is speaking another also has come and says, “Chaldeans made three heads, and rush on the camels, and take them, and they have struck the young men by the mouth of the sword, and I have escaped—only I alone—to declare [it] to 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 this [one] is speaking another has also come and says, “Your sons and your daughters are eating, and drinking wine, in the house of their brother, the firstborn.
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みをりしに
19 And behold, a great wind has come from over the wilderness, and strikes against the four corners of the house, and it falls on the young men, and they are dead, and I have escaped—only I alone—to declare [it] to 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 And Job rises, and tears his robe, and shaves his head, and falls to the earth, and pays respect,
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 he says, “I came forth naked from the womb of my mother, And naked I return there. YHWH has given and YHWH has taken; Let the Name of YHWH be blessed.”
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りたまふなり ヱホバの御名は讚べきかな
22 In all this Job has not sinned, nor given 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
