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
Legacy Standard Bible
Satan Strikes Job’s Flesh
2 (A)Again it was the day that the sons of God came to stand before Yahweh, and Satan also came among them to stand himself before Yahweh. 2 And Yahweh said to Satan, “Where do you come from?” Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it.” 3 And Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you set your heart upon My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, [a]fearing God and turning away from evil. And he still (B)holds fast his integrity. So you incited Me against him to swallow him up in vain.” 4 Satan answered Yahweh and said, “Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. 5 (C)However, send forth Your hand now, and (D)touch his bone and his flesh; he will curse You in Your face.” 6 So Yahweh said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, only spare his life.”
7 Then Satan went out from the presence of Yahweh and struck Job with (E)terrible boils from the sole of his foot to the top of his head. 8 And he took a potsherd to scrape himself while (F)he was sitting among the ashes.
9 Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die!” 10 But he said to her, “You speak as one of the wickedly foolish women speaks. (G)Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept calamity?” (H)In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
Job’s Three Friends
11 Then Job’s three friends heard of all this calamity that had come upon him. So they came each one from his own place, Eliphaz the (I)Temanite, Bildad the (J)Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to (K)console him and comfort him. 12 Then they lifted up their eyes at a distance and did not recognize him, and they lifted up their voices and wept. And each of them (L)tore his robe, and they (M)threw dust over their heads toward the sky. 13 (N)Then they sat down on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights with no one speaking a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.
