Job 2
1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah; and Satan came also among them to present himself before Jehovah.
Factum est autem cum quadam die venissent filii Dei, et starent coram Domino, venisset quoque Satan inter eos, et staret in conspectu eius,
2 And Jehovah said to Satan, Whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From wandering over the earth, and walking up and down in it.
ut diceret Dominus ad Satan: Unde venis? Qui respondens ait: Circuivi terram, et perambulavi eam.
3 Then said Jehovah to Satan, Hast thou observed my servant Job, that there is none like him upon the earth, an upright and good man, fearing God and departing from evil? And still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou didst excite me against him to destroy him without a cause.
Et dixit Dominus ad Satan: Numquid considerasti servum meum Iob, quod non sit ei similis in terra, vir simplex et rectus, ac timens Deum, et recedens a malo, et adhuc retinens innocentiam? Tu autem commovisti me adversus eum, ut affligerem eum frustra.
4 And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
Cui respondens Satan, ait: Pellem pro pelle, et cuncta quae habet homo, dabit pro anima sua:
5 But put forth now thy hand, and touch his bone and his flesh, and to thy face will he renounce thee.
alioquin mitte manum tuam, et tange os eius et carnem, et tunc videbis quod in faciem benedicat tibi.
6 And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand; but spare his life.
Dixit ergo Dominus ad Satan: Ecce in manu tua est, verumtamen animam illius serva.
7 Then Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot to his crown.
Egressus igitur Satan a facie Domini, percussit Iob ulcere pessimo, a planta pedis usque ad verticem eius:
8 And he took a potsherd to scrape himself withal, and sat down among the ashes.
qui testa saniem radebat, sedens in sterquilinio.
9 Then said his wife to him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? Renounce God, and die.
Dixit autem illi uxor sua: Adhuc tu permanes in simplicitate tua? benedic Deo et morere.
10 But he said to her, Thou talkest like one of the foolish women. What! shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this, Job sinned not with his lips.
Qui ait ad illam: Quasi una de stultis mulieribus locuta es. si bona suscepimus de manu Dei, mala quare non suscipiamus? in omnibus his non peccavit Iob labiis suis.
11 Now three friends of Job heard of all this evil that had come upon him, and came each one from his home; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; for they had agreed to come to mourn with him, and to comfort him.
Igitur audientes tres amici Iob omne malum, quod accidisset ei, venerunt singuli de loco suo, Eliphaz Themanites, et Baldad Suhites, et Sophar Naamathites. Condixerant enim, ut pariter venientes visitarent eum, et consolarentur.
12 And they lifted up their eyes at a distance, and knew him not; then they raised their voices and wept, and rent each one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
Cumque elevassent procul oculos suos, non cognoverunt eum, et exclamantes ploraverunt, scissisque vestibus sparserunt pulverem super caput suum in caelum.
13 And they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word to him; for they saw that his grief was very great.
Et sederunt cum eo in terra septem diebus et septem noctibus, et nemo loquebatur ei verbum: videbant enim dolorem esse vehementem.
