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.
Job 2
King James Version
2 Again 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 unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
3 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? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
4 And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
5 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
6 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.
7 So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.
9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
11 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.
12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
13 So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.
Job 2
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Pangalawang Pagsubok kay Job
2 Isang araw, muling nagtipon ang mga anghel[a] sa presensya ng Panginoon, at muli ring sumali sa kanila si Satanas. 2 Sinabi ng Panginoon kay Satanas, “Saan ka nanggaling?” Sumagot si Satanas, “Parooʼt parito na naglilibot sa mundo.” 3 Sinabi sa kanya ng Panginoon, “Napansin mo ba ang aking lingkod na si Job? Wala siyang katulad sa buong mundo. Matuwid siya, malinis ang pamumuhay, may takot sa akin at umiiwas sa kasamaan. Tapat pa rin siya sa akin, kahit na pinilit mo akong payagan ka na sirain siya ng walang dahilan.” 4 Sinabi ni Satanas, “Matatanggap ng tao na mawala ang lahat sa kanya bastaʼt buhay lang siya. 5 Pero kapag siya na ang sinaktan mo, tiyak na isusumpa ka niya.” 6 Sinabi ng Panginoon kay Satanas, “O sige, gawin mo ang gusto mong gawin sa kanya, pero huwag mo siyang papatayin.” 7 Kaya umalis si Satanas sa presensya ng Panginoon, at sinaktan si Job sa pamamagitan ng mga pigsa mula ulo hanggang talampakan. 8 Kumuha si Job ng basag na palayok at ginamit na pangkayod sa kanyang mga sugat habang nakaupo sa abo. 9 Sinabi sa kanya ng asawa niya, “Ano, tapat ka pa rin ba sa iyong Dios? Sumpain mo na siya at nang mamatay ka na!”
10 Sumagot si Job, “Nagsasalita ka ng walang kabuluhan. Mabubuting bagay lang ba ang tatanggapin natin mula sa Dios at hindi ang masasama?” Sa kabila ng lahat ng nangyari kay Job ay hindi siya nagkasala kahit sa pananalita.
Ang Tatlong Kaibigan ni Job
11 Tatlo sa kaibigan ni Job ang nakabalita tungkol sa masamang nangyari sa kanya. Itoʼy sina Elifaz na taga-Teman, si Bildad na taga-Shua, at si Zofar na taga-Naama. Nagkasundo silang dalawin si Job para makiramay at aliwin. 12 Malayu-layo pa sila, nakita na nila si Job, pero halos hindi na nila ito makilala. Kaya napaiyak sila nang malakas. Pinunit nila ang kanilang mga damit at naglagay ng alikabok sa kanilang ulo bilang pagpapakita ng pagdadalamhati. 13 Pagkatapos, umupo sila sa lupa kasama ni Job sa loob ng pitong araw at pitong gabi. Hindi sila nagsalita dahil nakita nila ang labis na paghihirap na dinaranas ni Job.

约伯记 2
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
約伯第二次受試煉
2 又有一天， 神的眾子都來侍立在耶和華面前，撒但也來到他們中間，侍立在耶和華面前。 2 耶和華問撒但：“你從哪裡來？”撒但回答說：“我在地上徘徊，走來走去。” 3 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。雖然你挑撥我與他作對，無緣無故使他傾家蕩產，他還是堅守自己的純全。” 4 撒但回答耶和華說：“人以皮換皮，寧可付出他所有的一切去保命。 5 只要你伸手傷害他的骨和肉，他一定當面褻瀆你。” 6 耶和華對撒但說：“好吧，他在你手中，不過，要留存他的命。” 7 於是撒但從耶和華面前退去，擊打約伯，使他從腳掌到頭頂都生了毒瘡。 8 約伯坐在灰燼中，拿瓦片刮自己。 9 他妻子對他說：“難道你還要堅守自己的純全嗎？你不如放棄 神，死掉算了。” 10 可是約伯對她說：“你說話像個愚妄的女人。難道我們從 神得福，也不應當受禍嗎？”在這一切事上，約伯並沒有用口犯罪。
三友的慰問
11 約伯的三個朋友，提幔人以利法、書亞人比勒達、拿瑪人瑣法，聽到這一切降在他身上的災禍，就各從自己的地方出發，相約而來對他表同情，安慰他。 12 他們從遠處舉目觀望，竟認不出他來，就放聲大哭，各自撕裂外袍，向天揚起塵土，落在自己頭上。 13 他們就七天七夜與他一起坐在地上，沒有人向他說一句話，因為他們看出他極其痛苦。
