约伯记 1
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
约伯之善行
1 乌斯地有一个人名叫约伯。那人完全、正直,敬畏神,远离恶事。
约伯之富有
2 他生了七个儿子,三个女儿。 3 他的家产有七千羊,三千骆驼,五百对牛,五百母驴,并有许多仆婢。这人在东方人中就为至大。 4 他的儿子按着日子各在自己家里设摆筵宴,就打发人去,请了他们的三个姐妹来,与他们一同吃喝。 5 筵宴的日子过了,约伯打发人去叫他们自洁。他清早起来,按着他们众人的数目献燔祭,因为他说:“恐怕我儿子犯了罪,心中弃掉神。”约伯常常这样行。
6 有一天,神的众子来侍立在耶和华面前,撒旦也来在其中。 7 耶和华问撒旦说:“你从哪里来?”撒旦回答说:“我从地上走来走去,往返而来。” 8 耶和华问撒旦说:“你曾用心察看我的仆人约伯没有?地上再没有人像他完全、正直,敬畏神,远离恶事。” 9 撒旦回答耶和华说:“约伯敬畏神,岂是无故呢? 10 你岂不是四面圈上篱笆,围护他和他的家并他一切所有的吗?他手所做的都蒙你赐福,他的家产也在地上增多。 11 你且伸手毁他一切所有的,他必当面弃掉你。” 12 耶和华对撒旦说:“凡他所有的都在你手中,只是不可伸手加害于他。”于是撒旦从耶和华面前退去。
约伯受试炼
13 有一天,约伯的儿女正在他们长兄的家里吃饭喝酒, 14 有报信的来见约伯说:“牛正耕地,驴在旁边吃草, 15 示巴人忽然闯来,把牲畜掳去,并用刀杀了仆人,唯有我一人逃脱,来报信给你。” 16 他还说话的时候,又有人来说:“神从天上降下火来,将群羊和仆人都烧灭了,唯有我一人逃脱,来报信给你。”
17 他还说话的时候,又有人来说:“迦勒底人分做三队忽然闯来,把骆驼掳去,并用刀杀了仆人,唯有我一人逃脱,来报信给你。” 18 他还说话的时候,又有人来说:“你的儿女正在他们长兄的家里吃饭喝酒, 19 不料有狂风从旷野刮来,击打房屋的四角,房屋倒塌在少年人身上,他们就都死了,唯有我一人逃脱,来报信给你。”
约伯之忍耐
20 约伯便起来,撕裂外袍,剃了头,伏在地上下拜, 21 说:“我赤身出于母胎,也必赤身归回;赏赐的是耶和华,收取的也是耶和华。耶和华的名是应当称颂的!” 22 在这一切的事上约伯并不犯罪,也不以神为愚妄[a]。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
約伯的敬虔
1 烏斯有一個人名叫約伯,他純全正直,敬畏上帝,遠離罪惡。 2 他有七子三女、 3 七千隻羊、三千隻駱駝、五百對牛、五百頭母驢及許多僕婢。他在東方人中最富有。 4 約伯的兒子們經常輪流在自己家裡設宴,派人邀請他們的三個姊妹來一起吃喝。 5 宴會的日子結束後,約伯便派人召來他的兒女,為他們行潔淨禮。他清早起來,為他們每個人獻上燔祭,因為他想:「也許我的孩子們犯了罪,心中褻瀆了上帝。」約伯常常這樣做。
撒旦控告約伯
6 有一天,眾天使[a]來朝見耶和華,撒旦也在他們當中。 7 耶和華問撒旦:「你從哪裡來?」撒旦答道:「我在地上到處遊走。」 8 耶和華問撒旦:「你注意到我的僕人約伯了嗎?世上沒有人像他那樣純全正直,敬畏我,遠離罪惡。」 9 撒旦說:「約伯敬畏你難道無緣無故嗎? 10 你豈不是像籬笆一樣四面保護他及其全家和一切產業嗎?你使他事事蒙福,牛羊遍地。 11 倘若你伸手毀壞他擁有的一切,他必當面褻瀆你。」 12 耶和華對撒旦說:「好吧,他的一切都在你手中,但不可傷害他。」撒旦便從耶和華面前退去。
約伯失去所有
13 有一天,約伯的兒女正在長兄家吃喝, 14 有報信的人來對約伯說:「牛正在耕田、驢正在旁邊吃草的時候, 15 示巴人忽然來襲,搶走了牲口,用刀殺了你的僕人,只有我一人逃脫來向你報信。」 16 話音未落,又有人來報信說:「上帝的火從天而降,燒死了羊群和牧人,只有我一人逃脫來向你報信。」 17 話音未落,又有人來報信說:「迦勒底人分三隊來襲,搶走了駱駝,用刀殺了你的僕人,只有我一人逃脫來向你報信。」 18 話音未落,又有人來報信說:「你的兒女正在長兄家吃喝的時候, 19 忽然從曠野颳來一陣狂風,摧毀了房子四角,房子倒塌,壓死了屋裡所有的人,只有我一人逃脫來向你報信。」
20 約伯站起來,撕裂外袍,剃掉頭髮,俯伏在地上敬拜, 21 說:「我從母腹赤身而來,也必赤身而去。賞賜的是耶和華,收回的也是耶和華。耶和華的名當受稱頌!」 22 約伯遭此不幸,仍沒有犯罪,也沒有埋怨上帝。

撒但的控告
6 有一天, 神的众子都来侍立在耶和华面前,撒但也来到他们中间。 7 耶和华问撒但:“你从哪里来?”撒但回答耶和华说:“我在地上徘徊,走来走去。” 8 耶和华问撒但:“你有没有注意到我的仆人约伯?世上再也没有一个人像他那样完全、正直,敬畏 神,远离罪恶。” 9 撒但回答耶和华说:“约伯敬畏 神,难道是无缘无故的吗? 10 你不是在他四周围上篱笆保护他吗?他的家和他所有的一切,以及他手所作的,你都赐福,他的家产也在地上增添。 11 只要你伸手打击他所有的一切,他一定当面亵渎你。” 12 耶和华对撒但说:“好吧,他所有的一切都交在你手中,只是不可以伸手害他。”于是撒但从耶和华面前退去。
约伯第一次受试炼
13 有一天,约伯的儿女正在他们长兄的家里吃饭喝酒的时候, 14 有报信的来见约伯,说:“牛正在耕田,母驴在附近吃草的时候, 15 示巴人忽然来侵袭,把牛驴掳去,又用刀杀了仆人,只有我一个人逃脱,来向你报告。” 16 这个人还在说话的时候,又有人来说:“ 神的火从天上降下来,把群羊和仆人都烧光了,只有我一个人逃脱,来向你报告。” 17 他还在说话的时候,又有人来说:“迦勒底人分成三队突袭骆驼,把牠们掳去,又用刀杀了仆人,只有我一个人逃脱,来向你报告。” 18 他还在说话的时候,又有人来说:“你的儿女正在他们长兄的家里吃饭喝酒的时候, 19 没想到有一阵狂风,从旷野那边刮来,吹袭房屋的四角,房屋倒塌在年轻人身上,他们就都死了,只有我一个人逃脱,来向你报告。”
约伯的坚忍
20 于是约伯起来,撕裂外袍,剃了头,俯伏在地上敬拜, 21 说:
“我赤身出于母胎,
也必赤身归去。
赏赐的是耶和华,收回的也是耶和华;
耶和华的名是应当称颂的。”
22 在这一切事上,约伯并没有犯罪,也没有归咎于 神。
Job 1
New International Version
Prologue
1 In the land of Uz(A) there lived a man whose name was Job.(B) This man was blameless(C) and upright;(D) he feared God(E) and shunned evil.(F) 2 He had seven sons(G) and three daughters,(H) 3 and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys,(I) and had a large number of servants.(J) He was the greatest man(K) among all the people of the East.(L)
4 His sons used to hold feasts(M) in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified.(N) Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering(O) for each of them, thinking, “Perhaps my children have sinned(P) and cursed God(Q) in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular custom.
6 One day the angels[a](R) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan[b](S) also came with them.(T) 7 The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”
Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”(U)
8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job?(V) There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God(W) and shuns evil.”(X)
9 “Does Job fear God for nothing?”(Y) Satan replied. 10 “Have you not put a hedge(Z) around him and his household and everything he has?(AA) You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land.(AB) 11 But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has,(AC) and he will surely curse you to your face.”(AD)
12 The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has(AE) is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.”(AF)
Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.
13 One day when Job’s sons and daughters(AG) were feasting(AH) and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, 14 a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing(AI) nearby, 15 and the Sabeans(AJ) attacked and made off with them. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
16 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The fire of God fell from the heavens(AK) and burned up the sheep and the servants,(AL) and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
17 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The Chaldeans(AM) formed three raiding parties and swept down on your camels and made off with them. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
18 While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came and said, “Your sons and daughters(AN) were feasting(AO) and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, 19 when suddenly a mighty wind(AP) swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead,(AQ) and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!(AR)”
20 At this, Job got up and tore his robe(AS) and shaved his head.(AT) Then he fell to the ground in worship(AU) 21 and said:
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
and naked I will depart.[c](AV)
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away;(AW)
may the name of the Lord be praised.”(AX)
22 In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.(AY)
Job 1
King James Version
1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
4 And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, 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. Thus did Job continually.
6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.
7 And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
8 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
9 Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
12 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.
13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
14 And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
15 And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
