约伯记 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
约伯失去健康
2 又有一天，众天使来朝见耶和华，撒旦也在他们当中。 2 耶和华问撒旦：“你从哪里来？”撒旦答道：“我在地上到处游走。” 3 耶和华问道：“你注意到我的仆人约伯了吗？世上没有人像他那样纯全正直，敬畏我，远离罪恶。虽然你鼓动我无缘无故地攻击他、毁灭他，他仍然持守自己的纯正。” 4 撒旦回答说：“人会以皮换皮，为了保全生命，情愿舍弃一切。 5 倘若你伸手伤害他的骨和肉，他必当面亵渎你。” 6 耶和华说：“好吧，他在你手中，但要留他一命。” 7 于是，撒旦从耶和华面前退去，开始加害约伯，使他从头到脚长毒疮。 8 约伯坐在炉灰中，拿瓦片刮身体。 9 他的妻子对他说：“你还要持守自己的纯正吗？不如亵渎上帝，死掉算了！” 10 但约伯回答说：“你说话像个愚昧的妇人。难道我们只从上帝手里接受祝福，却不接受灾殃吗？”约伯遭此不幸，仍毫无怨言。
约伯的三个朋友
11 约伯的三个朋友提幔人以利法、书亚人比勒达和拿玛人琐法听到他的不幸遭遇，便各自从家乡动身，相约一起来探望、安慰他。 12 他们远远地看见约伯，几乎认不出是他，禁不住放声大哭，各自撕裂外袍，扬起尘土，让土落在头上。 13 他们看到约伯极其痛苦，就陪着他在地上坐了七天七夜，没有对他说一句话。
Job 2
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Attack on Job’s Health
2 One day the heavenly beings[a] came to present themselves before the Lord, and the accuser[b] also came among them to present himself before the Lord.(A) 2 The Lord said to the accuser,[c] “Where have you come from?” The accuser[d] answered the Lord, “From going to and fro on the earth and from walking up and down on it.”(B) 3 The Lord said to the accuser,[e] “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man who fears God and turns away from evil. He still persists in his integrity, although you incited me against him, to destroy him for no reason.”(C) 4 Then the accuser[f] answered the Lord, “Skin for skin! All that the man has he will give for his life. 5 But stretch out your hand now and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face.”(D) 6 The Lord said to the accuser,[g] “Very well, he is in your power; only spare his life.”(E)
7 So the accuser[h] went out from the presence of the Lord and inflicted loathsome sores on Job from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.(F) 8 Job[i] took a potsherd with which to scrape himself and sat among the ashes.(G)
9 Then his wife said to him, “Do you still persist in your integrity? Curse[j] God and die.” 10 But he said to her, “You speak as any foolish woman would speak. Shall we receive good from God and not receive evil?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips.(H)
Job’s Three Friends
11 Now when Job’s three friends heard of all these troubles that had come upon him, each of them set out from his home—Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They met together to go and console and comfort him.(I) 12 When they saw him from a distance, they did not recognize him, and they raised their voices and wept aloud; they tore their robes and threw dust in the air upon their heads.(J) 13 They sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his suffering was very great.(K)
Job 2
New King James Version
Satan Attacks Job’s Health
2 Again (A)there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord. 2 And the Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?”
(B)Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.”
3 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, (C)a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? And still he (D)holds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, (E)to [a]destroy him without cause.”
4 So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. 5 (F)But stretch out Your hand now, and touch his (G)bone and his flesh, and he will surely [b]curse You to Your face!”
6 (H)And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life.”
7 So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord, and struck Job with painful boils (I)from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. 8 And he took for himself a potsherd with which to scrape himself (J)while he sat in the midst of the ashes.
9 Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? [c]Curse God and die!”
10 But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. (K)Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” (L)In all this Job did not (M)sin with his lips.
Job’s Three Friends
11 Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, each one came from his own place—Eliphaz the (N)Temanite, Bildad the (O)Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment together to come (P)and mourn with him, and to comfort him. 12 And when they raised their eyes from afar, and did not recognize him, they lifted their voices and wept; and each one tore his robe and (Q)sprinkled dust on his head toward heaven. 13 So they sat down with him on the ground (R)seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.
