约伯记 1
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
約伯的德行與財富
1 烏斯地有一個人,名叫約伯。這人完全、正直,敬畏 神,遠離罪惡。 2 他生了七男三女。 3 他的家產有七千隻羊、三千匹駱駝、五百對牛、五百頭母驢,並且有許多僕婢。這人在全東方的人中至為尊貴。 4 他的兒子素常輪流各按自己的日子在家擺設筵席,並且打發人去邀請他們的三個姊妹來一同吃喝。 5 輪流設宴的日子一過,約伯就差人去叫他們自潔。他清早起來,按他們的數目獻上燔祭。因為他心裡想:“說不定孩子犯了罪,心中褻瀆了 神。”約伯經常這樣作。
撒但的控告
6 有一天, 神的眾子都來侍立在耶和華面前,撒但也來到他們中間。 7 耶和華問撒但:“你從哪裡來?”撒但回答耶和華說:“我在地上徘徊,走來走去。” 8 耶和華問撒但:“你有沒有注意到我的僕人約伯?世上再也沒有一個人像他那樣完全、正直,敬畏 神,遠離罪惡。” 9 撒但回答耶和華說:“約伯敬畏 神,難道是無緣無故的嗎? 10 你不是在他四周圍上籬笆保護他嗎?他的家和他所有的一切,以及他手所作的,你都賜福,他的家產也在地上增添。 11 只要你伸手打擊他所有的一切,他一定當面褻瀆你。” 12 耶和華對撒但說:“好吧,他所有的一切都交在你手中,只是不可以伸手害他。”於是撒但從耶和華面前退去。
約伯第一次受試煉
13 有一天,約伯的兒女正在他們長兄的家裡吃飯喝酒的時候, 14 有報信的來見約伯,說:“牛正在耕田,母驢在附近吃草的時候, 15 示巴人忽然來侵襲,把牛驢擄去,又用刀殺了僕人,只有我一個人逃脫,來向你報告。” 16 這個人還在說話的時候,又有人來說:“ 神的火從天上降下來,把群羊和僕人都燒光了,只有我一個人逃脫,來向你報告。” 17 他還在說話的時候,又有人來說:“迦勒底人分成三隊突襲駱駝,把牠們擄去,又用刀殺了僕人,只有我一個人逃脫,來向你報告。” 18 他還在說話的時候,又有人來說:“你的兒女正在他們長兄的家裡吃飯喝酒的時候, 19 沒想到有一陣狂風,從曠野那邊颳來,吹襲房屋的四角,房屋倒塌在年輕人身上,他們就都死了,只有我一個人逃脫,來向你報告。”
約伯的堅忍
20 於是約伯起來,撕裂外袍,剃了頭,俯伏在地上敬拜, 21 說:
“我赤身出於母胎,
也必赤身歸去。
賞賜的是耶和華,收回的也是耶和華;
耶和華的名是應當稱頌的。”
22 在這一切事上,約伯並沒有犯罪,也沒有歸咎於 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
New King James Version
Job and His Family in Uz
1 There was a man (A)in the land of Uz, whose name was (B)Job; and that man was (C)blameless and upright, and one who (D)feared God and [a]shunned evil. 2 And seven sons and three daughters were born to him. 3 Also, his possessions were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very large household, so that this man was the greatest of all the [b]people of the East.
4 And his sons would go and feast in their houses, each on his appointed day, and would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 So it was, when the days of feasting had run their course, that Job would send and [c]sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning (E)and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned and (F)cursed[d] God in their hearts.” Thus Job did regularly.
Satan Attacks Job’s Character
6 Now (G)there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and [e]Satan also came among them. 7 And the Lord said to [f]Satan, “From where do you come?”
So Satan answered the Lord and said, “From (H)going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.”
8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you [g]considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and [h]shuns evil?”
9 So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 (I)Have You not [i]made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? (J)You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 11 (K)But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely (L)curse[j] You to Your face!”
12 And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your [k]power; only do not lay a hand on his person.”
So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.
Job Loses His Property and Children
13 Now there was a day (M)when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house; 14 and a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys feeding beside them, 15 when the [l]Sabeans [m]raided them and took them away—indeed they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
16 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and [n]consumed them; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
17 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three bands, raided the camels and took them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
18 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, (N)“Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house, 19 and suddenly a great wind came from [o]across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they are dead; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
20 Then Job arose, (O)tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he (P)fell to the ground and worshiped. 21 And he said:
(Q)“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
And naked shall I return there.
The Lord (R)gave, and the Lord has (S)taken away;
(T)Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
22 (U)In all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong.

Jó 1
Nova Versão Transformadora
Prólogo
1 Havia um homem chamado Jó que vivia na terra de Uz. Ele era íntegro e correto, temia a Deus e se mantinha afastado do mal. 2 Tinha sete filhos e três filhas. 3 Era dono de sete mil ovelhas, três mil camelos, quinhentas juntas de bois e quinhentas jumentas. Também tinha muitos servos. Na verdade, era o homem mais rico de toda aquela região.
4 Os filhos de Jó se revezavam em preparar banquetes em suas casas e convidavam suas três irmãs para celebrar com eles. 5 Quando terminavam esses dias de festas, Jó mandava chamar seus filhos, a fim de purificá-los. Levantava-se de manhã bem cedo e oferecia um holocausto em favor de cada um deles, pois pensava: “Pode ser que meus filhos tenham pecado e amaldiçoado a Deus em seu coração”. Essa era a prática habitual de Jó.
A primeira provação de Jó
6 Certo dia, os anjos[a] vieram à presença do Senhor, e Satanás, o acusador,[b] veio com eles. 7 “De onde você vem?”, perguntou o Senhor.
Satanás respondeu: “Estive rodeando a terra, observando o que nela acontece”.
8 Então o Senhor perguntou: “Você reparou em meu servo Jó? Não há ninguém na terra como ele. É homem íntegro e correto, teme a Deus e se mantém afastado do mal”.
9 Satanás respondeu: “É verdade, mas Jó tem bons motivos para temer a Deus. 10 Tu puseste um muro de proteção ao redor dele, de sua família e de seus bens e o abençoaste em tudo que ele faz. Vê como ele é rico! 11 Estende tua mão e toma tudo que ele tem, e certamente ele te amaldiçoará na tua face!”.
12 “Pois bem, você pode prová-lo”, disse o Senhor. “Faça o que quiser com tudo que ele possui, mas não lhe cause nenhum dano físico.” Então Satanás saiu da presença do Senhor.
13 Certo dia, quando os filhos e as filhas de Jó estavam num banquete na casa do irmão mais velho, 14 chegou à casa de Jó um mensageiro com esta notícia: “Seus bois estavam arando, e os jumentos, pastando perto deles, 15 quando os sabeus nos atacaram. Roubaram todos os animais e mataram todos os empregados. Só eu escapei para lhe contar”.
16 Enquanto ele falava, outro mensageiro chegou com esta notícia: “O fogo de Deus caiu do céu e queimou suas ovelhas e todos os seus pastores. Só eu escapei para lhe contar”.
17 Enquanto ele falava, outro mensageiro chegou com esta notícia: “Três bandos de saqueadores caldeus roubaram seus camelos e mataram seus servos. Só eu escapei para lhe contar”.
18 Enquanto ele falava, ainda outro mensageiro chegou com esta notícia: “Seus filhos e suas filhas estavam num banquete na casa do irmão mais velho. 19 De repente, veio do deserto um vendaval terrível e atingiu a casa de todos os lados. A casa desabou, e todos os seus filhos morreram. Só eu escapei para lhe contar”.
20 Então Jó se levantou e rasgou seu manto. Depois, raspou a cabeça, prostrou-se com o rosto no chão em adoração 21 e disse:
“Saí nu do ventre de minha mãe,
e estarei nu quando partir.
O Senhor me deu o que eu tinha,
e o Senhor o tomou.
Louvado seja o nome do Senhor!”.
22 Em tudo isso, Jó não pecou nem culpou a Deus.
