約伯記

第1章

1 烏斯地有一個人名叫約伯;那人完全正直,敬畏神,遠離惡事。

2 他生了七個兒子,三個女兒。

3 他的家產有七千羊,三千駱駝,五百對牛,五百母驢,並有許多僕婢。這人在東方人中就為至大。

4 他的兒子按著日子各在自己家裏設擺筵宴,就打發人去,請了他們的三個姊妹來,與他們一同吃喝。

5 筵宴的日子過了,約伯打發人去叫他們自潔。他清早起來,按著他們眾人的數目獻燔祭;因為他說:「恐怕我兒子犯了罪,心中咒罵[cursed]神。」約伯常常這樣行。

6 有一天,神的眾子來侍立在耶和華面前,撒但也來在其中。

7 耶和華問撒但說:「你從哪裏來?」撒但回答耶和華[LORD]說:「我從地上走來走去,上去下來[wander up and down]。」

8 耶和華問撒但說:「你曾用心察看我的僕人約伯沒有?地上再沒有人像他完全正直,敬畏神,遠離惡事。」

9 撒但回答耶和華說:「約伯敬畏神,豈是無故呢?

10 你豈不是四面圈上籬笆圍護他和他的家,並他一切所有的嗎?他手所作的都蒙你賜福;他的家產也在地上增多。

11 你且伸手毀他一切所有的;他必當面咒罵[curse]你。」

12 耶和華對撒但說:「看哪[Behold],凡他所有的都在你手中;只是不可伸手加害於他。」於是撒但從耶和華面前退去。

13 有一天,約伯的兒女正在他們長兄的家裏用餐[eating]喝酒,

14 有報信的來見約伯,說:「牛正耕地,驢在旁邊餵食[feeding]

15 示巴人忽然闖來,把牲畜擄去,並用刀[edge]殺了僕人;唯有我一人逃脫,來報信給你。」

16 他還說話的時候,又有人來說:「神從天上降下火來,將群羊和僕人都燒滅了;唯有我一人逃脫,來報信給你。」

17 他還說話的時候,又有人來說:「迦勒底人分作三隊忽然闖來,把駱駝擄去,並用刀[edge]殺了僕人;唯有我一人逃脫,來報信給你。」

18 他還說話的時候,又有人來說:「你的兒女正在他們長兄的家裏用餐[eating]喝酒,

19 不料,有狂風從曠野颳來,擊打房屋的四角,房屋倒塌在少年人身上,他們就都死了;唯有我一人逃脫,來報信給你。」

20 約伯便起來,撕裂外袍,剃了頭,伏在地上敬拜[worshipped]

21 說:「我赤身出於母胎,也必赤身歸回;賞賜的是耶和華,收取的也是耶和華。耶和華的名是應當稱頌的。」

22 在這一切的事上約伯並不犯罪,也不妄評神[charged God foolishly]

Job

Chapter 1

1 There was a man376 in the land776 of Uz,5780 whose name8034 was Job;347 and that man376 was perfect8535 and upright,3477 and one that feared3373 God,430 and eschewed5493 evil.7451

2 And there were born3205 to him seven7651 sons1121 and three7969 daughters.1323

3 His substance4735 also was seven7651 thousand505 sheep,6629 and three7969 thousand505 camels,1581 and five2568 hundred3967 yoke6776 of oxen,1241 and five2568 hundred3967 she asses,860 and a very3966 great7227 household;5657 so that this1931 man376 was the greatest1419 of all3605 the men1121 of the east.6924

4 And his sons1121 went1980 and feasted6213 4960 in their houses,1004 every376 one376 his day;3117 and sent7971 and called7121 for their three7969 sisters269 to eat398 and to drink8354 with them.

5 And it was so, when3588 the days3117 of their feasting4960 were gone5362 about,5362 that Job347 sent7971 and sanctified6942 them, and rose7925 up early7925 in the morning,1242 and offered5927 burnt5930 offerings according to the number4557 of them all:3605 for Job347 said,559 It may194 be that my sons1121 have sinned,2398 and cursed1288 God430 in their hearts.3824 Thus3602 did6213 Job347 continually.3605 3117

6 Now there was a day3117 when the sons1121 of God430 came935 to present3320 themselves before5921 the LORD,3068 and Satan7854 came935 also1571 among8432 them.

7 And the LORD3068 said559 to Satan,7854 From where370 come935 you? Then Satan7854 answered6030 the LORD,3068 and said,559 From going7751 to and fro7751 in the earth,776 and from walking1980 up and down in it.

8 And the LORD3068 said559 to Satan,7854 Have you considered7760 3820 my servant5650 Job,347 that there is none369 like3644 him in the earth,776 a perfect8535 and an upright3477 man,376 one that fears3373 God,430 and eschews5493 evil?7451

9 Then Satan7854 answered6030 the LORD,3068 and said,559 Does Job347 fear3372 God430 for nothing?2600

10 Have not you made an hedge7753 about1157 him, and about1157 his house,1004 and about1157 all3605 that he has on every5437 side?5439 you have blessed1288 the work4639 of his hands,3027 and his substance4735 is increased6555 in the land.776

11 But put7971 forth7971 your hand3027 now,4994 and touch5060 all3605 that he has, and he will curse1288 you to your face.6440

12 And the LORD3068 said559 to Satan,7854 Behold,2009 all3605 that he has is in your power;3027 only7535 on himself put7971 not forth7971 your hand.3027 So Satan7854 went3318 forth3318 from the presence6440 of the LORD.3068

13 And there was a day3117 when his sons1121 and his daughters1323 were eating398 and drinking8354 wine3196 in their oldest1060 brother's251 house:1004

14 And there came935 a messenger4397 to Job,347 and said,559 The oxen1241 were plowing,2790 and the asses860 feeding7462 beside5921 3027 them:

15 And the Sabeans7614 fell5307 on them, and took3947 them away; yes, they have slain5221 the servants5288 with the edge6310 of the sword;2719 and I only7535 am escaped4422 alone905 to tell5046 you.

16 While he was yet speaking,1696 there came935 also another,2088 and said,559 The fire784 of God430 is fallen5307 from heaven,8064 and has burned1197 up the sheep,6629 and the servants,5288 and consumed398 them; and I only7535 am escaped4422 alone905 to tell5046 you.

17 While he was yet speaking,1696 there came935 also another,2088 and said,559 The Chaldeans3778 made7760 out three7969 bands,7218 and fell6584 on the camels,1581 and have carried3947 them away, yes, and slain5221 the servants5288 with the edge6310 of the sword;2719 and I only7535 am escaped4422 alone905 to tell5046 you.

18 While he was yet speaking,1696 there came935 also another,2088 and said,559 Your sons1121 and your daughters1323 were eating398 and drinking8354 wine3196 in their oldest1060 brother's251 house:1004

19 And, behold,2009 there came935 a great1419 wind7307 from the wilderness,4057 and smote5060 the four702 corners6438 of the house,1004 and it fell5307 on the young5288 men, and they are dead;4191 and I only7535 am escaped4422 alone905 to tell5046 you.

20 Then Job347 arose,6965 and rent7167 his mantle,4598 and shaved1494 his head,7218 and fell5307 down on the ground,776 and worshipped,7812

21 And said,559 Naked6174 came3318 I out of my mother's517 womb,990 and naked6174 shall I return7725 thither:8033 the LORD3068 gave,5414 and the LORD3068 has taken3947 away; blessed1288 be the name8034 of the LORD.3068

22 In all3605 this2063 Job347 sinned2398 not, nor3808 charged5414 God430 foolishly.8604

6 有一天,神的眾子來侍立在耶和華面前,撒但也來在其中。

6 Now there was a day3117 when the sons1121 of God430 came935 to present3320 themselves before5921 the LORD,3068 and Satan7854 came935 also1571 among8432 them.

7 耶和華問撒但說:「你從哪裏來?」撒但回答耶和華[LORD]說:「我從地上走來走去,上去下來[wander up and down]。」

7 And the LORD3068 said559 to Satan,7854 From where370 come935 you? Then Satan7854 answered6030 the LORD,3068 and said,559 From going7751 to and fro7751 in the earth,776 and from walking1980 up and down in it.

8 耶和華問撒但說:「你曾用心察看我的僕人約伯沒有?地上再沒有人像他完全正直,敬畏神,遠離惡事。」

8 And the LORD3068 said559 to Satan,7854 Have you considered7760 3820 my servant5650 Job,347 that there is none369 like3644 him in the earth,776 a perfect8535 and an upright3477 man,376 one that fears3373 God,430 and eschews5493 evil?7451

9 撒但回答耶和華說:「約伯敬畏神,豈是無故呢?

9 Then Satan7854 answered6030 the LORD,3068 and said,559 Does Job347 fear3372 God430 for nothing?2600

10 你豈不是四面圈上籬笆圍護他和他的家,並他一切所有的嗎?他手所作的都蒙你賜福;他的家產也在地上增多。

10 Have not you made an hedge7753 about1157 him, and about1157 his house,1004 and about1157 all3605 that he has on every5437 side?5439 you have blessed1288 the work4639 of his hands,3027 and his substance4735 is increased6555 in the land.776

11 你且伸手毀他一切所有的;他必當面咒罵[curse]你。」

11 But put7971 forth7971 your hand3027 now,4994 and touch5060 all3605 that he has, and he will curse1288 you to your face.6440

12 耶和華對撒但說:「看哪[Behold],凡他所有的都在你手中;只是不可伸手加害於他。」於是撒但從耶和華面前退去。

12 And the LORD3068 said559 to Satan,7854 Behold,2009 all3605 that he has is in your power;3027 only7535 on himself put7971 not forth7971 your hand.3027 So Satan7854 went3318 forth3318 from the presence6440 of the LORD.3068

13 有一天,約伯的兒女正在他們長兄的家裏用餐[eating]喝酒,

13 And there was a day3117 when his sons1121 and his daughters1323 were eating398 and drinking8354 wine3196 in their oldest1060 brother's251 house:1004

14 有報信的來見約伯,說:「牛正耕地,驢在旁邊餵食[feeding]

14 And there came935 a messenger4397 to Job,347 and said,559 The oxen1241 were plowing,2790 and the asses860 feeding7462 beside5921 3027 them:

19 不料,有狂風從曠野颳來,擊打房屋的四角,房屋倒塌在少年人身上,他們就都死了;唯有我一人逃脫,來報信給你。」

19 And, behold,2009 there came935 a great1419 wind7307 from the wilderness,4057 and smote5060 the four702 corners6438 of the house,1004 and it fell5307 on the young5288 men, and they are dead;4191 and I only7535 am escaped4422 alone905 to tell5046 you.

20 約伯便起來,撕裂外袍,剃了頭,伏在地上敬拜[worshipped]
