Job 1
1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job, and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turning away 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 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 His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of 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 His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his day; and they sent and called for 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 It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, "It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts." Job did so 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 Now it happened on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before YHWH, that Satan also came 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 YHWH said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Then Satan answered YHWH, and said, "From going back and forth on the earth, 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 YHWH said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away 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 Then Satan answered YHWH, and said, "Does Job fear 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 Haven't you made a hedge around him, and around his household, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his livestock have increased in 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 now, and strike all that he has, and he will curse 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 YHWH said to Satan, "Look, all that he has is in your power. Only do not put forth your hand on him." So Satan went forth 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 Now the day came when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
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 that there came a messenger to Job, and said, "The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys grazing 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 Sheba attacked, and took them away. Yes, they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped 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 still speaking, there also came another, and said, "The fire of God has fallen from the sky, and has burned up the sheep and the young men, and consumed them, and I alone have escaped 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 he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, "The Kasdim made three bands, and swept down on the camels, and have taken them away, and killed the young men with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped 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 was still speaking, there came also another, and said, "Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
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 look, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead. I alone have escaped 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 Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down with his face to the ground.
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 He said, "Naked I came out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there. YHWH gave, and YHWH has taken away. Blessed be the name of YHWH."
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 did not sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.
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
