Job 1
1 A man he was in [the] land of Uz [was] Job name his and he was - the man that blameless and upright and fearing God and turning aside from evil.
從前在胡茲地方，有一個人名叫約伯，為人十全十美，生性正直，敬畏天主，遠離邪惡。
2 And they were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
他生了七個兒子，三個女兒。
3 And it was livestock his seven thousand sheep and three thousand camels and five hundred pair[s] of ox[en] and five hundred female donkeys and service much very and he was the man that great more than all [the] people of [the] east.
家畜有七千隻羊，三千駱駝，五百對牛，五百母驢，且有很多僕人。此人是當時東方人民中最偉大的人物。
4 And they went sons his and they made a feast [the] house of each one day his and they sent and they invited [the] three (sisters their *Q(k)*) to eat and to drink with them.
他的每個兒子，按日輪流在家中設宴，且派人邀請他們的三個姊妹來一同宴飲。
5 And it was that they had gone round [the] days of the feast and he sent Job and he sanctified them and he rose early in the morning and he offered up burnt offerings [the] number of all of them for he said Job perhaps they have sinned children my and they have blessed God in heart their thus he did Job all the days.
及至宴飲的日子輪流一週，約伯總是派人召集他們來聖潔他們，清早起來照子女的數目，獻上全燔祭品說：「恐怕我的兒子犯了罪，心中詛咒了天主。」約伯常常如此行事。
6 And it was the day and they came [the] sons of God to present themselves on Yahweh and he came also the adversary in midst of them.
有一天，天主的眾子都來侍立在上主面前，撒殫也夾在他們當中。
7 And he said Yahweh to the adversary from where? are you coming and he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said from roving about on the earth and from going about on it.
上主問撒殫說：「你從那裏來﹖」撒殫回答上主說：「我走遍了世界，周遊了各地回來。」
8 And he said Yahweh to the adversary ¿ have you set heart your on servant my Job for there not [is] like him on the earth a man blameless and upright fearing God and [who] turns aside from evil.
上主對撒殫說：「你曾留心注意到我的僕人約伯沒有﹖因為世上沒有一個像他那樣十全十美，生性正直，敬畏天主，遠避邪惡的人。」
9 And he answered the adversary Yahweh and he said ¿ in vain has he feared Job God.
撒殫回答上主說：「約伯那裏是無緣無故敬畏天主的呢﹖
10 ¿ Not (you *Q(K)*) have you put a hedge behind him and behind house his and behind all that [belongs] to him from round about [the] work of hands his you have blessed and livestock his it has spread out in the land.
你不是四面保護他、他的家庭和他所有的一切麼﹖並且凡是他親手做的，你都祝福了；你使他的牲畜在地上繁殖增多。
11 And but stretch out please hand your and touch all that [belongs] to him if not on face your he will bless you.
但是你若伸手打擊他所有的一切，他必定當面詛咒你。」
12 And he said Yahweh to the adversary there! all that [belongs] to him [is] in hand your only against him may not you stretch out hand your and he went out the adversary from with [the] presence of Yahweh.
上主對撒殫說：「看，他所有的一切，都隨你處理，只是不要伸手加害他的身體。」撒殫遂離開天主走了。
13 And it was the day and sons his and daughters his [were] eating and drinking wine in [the] house of brother their the firstborn.
有一天，他的兒子同他的女兒，正在長兄家裏歡宴飲酒的時候，
14 And a messenger he came to Job and he said the ox[en] they were plowing and the female donkeys [were] grazing on hands their.
有個帶信的人跑來向約伯說：「牛正在耕田，母驢在一旁吃草的時候，
15 And it fell Sabean[s] and it took them and the servants they struck to [the] mouth of [the] sword and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to you.
舍巴人突然闖來將牲口搶了去，用刀將那些僕人殺了，只有我一人逃脫，來向你報告。」
16 Still - this [one] [was] speaking and this [one] he came and he said [the] fire of God it fell from the heavens and it burned the sheep and the servants and it consumed them and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to you.
這人還在報告時，另一個人跑來說：「天主的火由天降下，將羊群和僕人都燒死了，只有我一人逃脫，來向你報告。」
17 Still - this [one] [was] speaking and this [one] he came and he said [the] Chaldeans they formed - three companies and they made a raid on the camels and they took them and the servants they struck to [the] mouth of [the] sword and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to you.
這人還在報告時，另一個人跑來說：「加色丁人分成三隊闖入駱駝群，將駱駝搶走了，用刀將僕人殺了，只有我一人逃脫，來向你報告。」
18 Until this [one] [was] speaking and this [one] he came and he said sons your and daughters your [were] eating and drinking wine in [the] house of brother their the firstborn.
這人還在報告時，另一個人跑來說：「你的兒女正在長兄家宴飲的時候，
19 And there! a wind great it came - from [the] other side of the wilderness and it touched [the] four [the] corners of the house and it fell on the youths and they died and I have escaped! only I to alone me to tell to you.
忽然從曠野那邊吹來一陣颶風，颳倒了房屋的四角，壓死了你的孩子，只有我一人幸免，來向你報告。」
20 And he arose Job and he tore robe his and he shaved head his and he fell [the] earth towards and he bowed down.
約伯就起來，撕裂了自己的外氅，剃去頭髮，俯伏在地叩拜，
21 And he said naked (I came out *Q(k)*) from [the] womb of mother my and naked I will return there towards Yahweh he gave and Yahweh he has taken may it be [the] name of Yahweh blessed.
說「我赤身脫離母胎，也要赤身歸去；上主賜的，上主收回。願上主的名受到讚美! 」
22 In all this not he sinned Job and not he ascribe unseemliness to God.
就這一切事而論，約伯並沒有犯罪，也沒有說抱怨天主的話。
