エリファズのことば
4 テマン人エリファズからヨブへの答え。
2 「あえて、ひと言いわせてほしい。
もう黙ってはいられない。
3-4 以前あなたは、悩んでいる人に向かって
神を信頼しなさいと口ぐせのように言っていた。
弱っている人、倒れそうになっている人、
立つ気力もなくして地面に座り込む人、
自暴自棄に陥った人を元気づけてきた。
5 ところが、いざ自分がその身になってみると、
すっかり弱り果て、自暴自棄になっている。
6 そんなときこそ、神を信頼するべきではないのか。
神は正しい人に目をかけてくださることが、
信じられないというのか。
7-8 考えてもみなさい。
心底から正しくて罪のない人が
罰せられるなどという話を、
一度でも聞いたことがあるか。
罪と争いの種をまく者が悩みを刈り取ることは、
経験の教えるところだ。
9 そのような者は、神の怒りの息吹によって死ぬ。
10 若いライオンのように吠えたけっていても、
押しつぶされて滅びるのだ。
11 いつかは、年をとって弱り果てたライオンのように
飢え、子どもたちも散り散りになる。
12 耳もとのささやきのように、こっそりと、
ひとつの真理が私に伝えられた。
13 あれは、人が寝静まった夜中だった。
私は幻を見たのだ。
14 急に私は恐ろしくなり、
身の毛のよだつ思いに全身がわなないた。
15 一つの霊が前を通り過ぎたとき、髪の毛は逆立った。
16 といっても、霊の気配を感じただけで、
姿を見たわけではないが。
気味が悪いほど静まりかえった中で、
どこからともなく、こう言う声が聞こえてきた。
17 『人にすぎない者が
神より正しいなどということがあろうか。
創造者よりきよいなどということがあろうか。』
18-19 御使いさえ過ちを犯し、
神に信頼されていないとしたら、
ちりから造られた人間はなおさらのことだ。
人は虫のように、簡単につぶされて死ぬ。
20 朝には生きていても、夕方には冷たい死体となり、
だれからも気に留められないまま永久に葬られる。
21 か細いいのちの火は吹き消され、
なすすべもなく死ぬだけだ。

Eliphaz
4 Then Eliphaz the Temanite(A) replied:
2 “If someone ventures a word with you, will you be impatient?
But who can keep from speaking?(B)
3 Think how you have instructed many,(C)
how you have strengthened feeble hands.(D)
4 Your words have supported those who stumbled;(E)
you have strengthened faltering knees.(F)
5 But now trouble comes to you, and you are discouraged;(G)
it strikes(H) you, and you are dismayed.(I)
6 Should not your piety be your confidence(J)
and your blameless(K) ways your hope?
7 “Consider now: Who, being innocent, has ever perished?(L)
Where were the upright ever destroyed?(M)
8 As I have observed,(N) those who plow evil(O)
and those who sow trouble reap it.(P)
9 At the breath of God(Q) they perish;
at the blast of his anger they are no more.(R)
10 The lions may roar(S) and growl,
yet the teeth of the great lions(T) are broken.(U)
11 The lion perishes for lack of prey,(V)
and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.(W)
12 “A word(X) was secretly brought to me,
my ears caught a whisper(Y) of it.(Z)
13 Amid disquieting dreams in the night,
when deep sleep falls on people,(AA)
14 fear and trembling(AB) seized me
and made all my bones shake.(AC)
15 A spirit glided past my face,
and the hair on my body stood on end.(AD)
16 It stopped,
but I could not tell what it was.
A form stood before my eyes,
and I heard a hushed voice:(AE)
17 ‘Can a mortal be more righteous than God?(AF)
Can even a strong man be more pure than his Maker?(AG)
18 If God places no trust in his servants,(AH)
if he charges his angels with error,(AI)
19 how much more those who live in houses of clay,(AJ)
whose foundations(AK) are in the dust,(AL)
who are crushed(AM) more readily than a moth!(AN)
20 Between dawn and dusk they are broken to pieces;
unnoticed, they perish forever.(AO)
21 Are not the cords of their tent pulled up,(AP)
so that they die(AQ) without wisdom?’(AR)

4 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
2 If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?
3 Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.
4 Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.
5 But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
6 Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?
7 Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
8 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
9 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
11 The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.
12 Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.
13 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,
14 Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
15 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
16 It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,
17 Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
18 Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:
19 How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
20 They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.
21 Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.
