| 1 | And it came to pass, when on a certain day the sons of God came, and stood before the Lord, and Satan came among them, and stood in his sight, | Factum est autem, cum quadam die venissent filii Dei, et starent coram Domino, venisset quoque Satan inter eos, et staret in conspectu eius, | Ἐγένετο δὲ ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη, καὶ ἦλθον οἱ ἄγγελοι τοῦ Θεοῦ παραστῆναι ἔναντι Κυρίου, καὶ ὁ διάβολος ἦλθεν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν παραστῆναι ἐναντίον τοῦ Κυρίου. |
| 2 | That the Lord said to Satan: Whence comest thou? And he answered and said: I have gone round about the earth, and walked through it. | ut diceret Dominus ad Satan: Unde venis? Qui respondens ait: Circuivi terram, et perambulavi eam. | Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Κύριος τῷ διαβόλῳ, πόθεν σὺ ἔρχῃ; τότε εἶπεν ὁ διάβολος ἐνώπιον τοῦ Κυρίου, διαπορευθεὶς τὴν ὑπʼ οὐρανὸν, καὶ ἐμπεριπατήσας τὴν σύμπασαν, πάρειμι. |
| 3 | And the Lord said to Satan: Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man simple, and upright, and fearing God, and avoiding evil, and still keeping his innocence? But thou hast moved me against him, that I should afflict him without cause. | Et dixit Dominus ad Satan: Numquid considerasti servum meum Iob, quod non sit ei similis in terra, vir simplex et rectus, ac timens Deum, et recedens a malo, et adhuc retinens innocentiam? tu autem commovisti me adversus eum, ut affligerem eum frustra. | Εἶπε δὲ ὁ Κύριος πρὸς τὸν διάβολον, προσέσχες οὖν τῷ θεράποντί μου Ἰὼβ, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι κατʼ αὐτὸν τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς; ἄνθρωπος ἄκακος, ἀληθινὸς, ἄμεμπτος, θεοσεβὴς, ἀπεχόμενος ἀπὸ παντὸς κακοῦ, ἔτι δὲ ἔχεται ἀκακίας· σὺ δὲ εἶπας ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ διακενῆς ἀπολέσαι. |
| 4 | And Satan answered, and said: Skin for skin, and all that a man hath he will give for his life: | Cui respondens Satan, ait: Pellem pro pelle, et cuncta quae habet homo dabit pro anima sua; | Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ ὁ διάβολος εἶπε τῷ Κυρίῳ, δέρμα ὑπὲρ δέρματος, ὅσα ὑπάρχει ἀνθρώπῳ ὑπέρ τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ ἐκτίσει. |
| 5 | But put forth thy hand, and touch his bone and his flesh, and then thou shalt gee that he will bless thee to thy face. | alioquin mitte manum tuam, et tange os eius et carnem, et tunc videbis quod in faciem benedicat tibi. | Οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ ἀποστείλας τὴν χεῖρά σου, ἅψαι τῶν ὀστῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν σαρκῶν αὐτοῦ· ἦ μὴν εἰς πρόσωπόν σε εὐλογήσει. |
| 6 | And the Lord said to Satan: Behold be is in thy hand, but yet save his life. | Dixit ergo Dominus ad Satan: Ecce in manu tua est: verumtamen animam illius serva. | Εἶπε δὲ ὁ Κύριος τῷ διαβόλῳ, ἰδοὺ παραδίδωμί σοι αὐτόν· μόνον τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ διαφύλαξον. |
| 7 | So Satan went forth from the presence Of the Lord, and struck Job with a very grievous ulcer, from the sole of the foot even to the top of his head: | Egressus igitur Satan a facie Domini, percussit Iob ulcere pessimo, a planta pedis usque ad verticem eius; | Ἐξῆλθε δὲ ὁ διάβολος ἀπὸ τοῦ Κυρίου· καὶ ἔπαισε τὸν Ἰὼβ ἕλκει πονηρῷ ἀπὸ ποδῶν ἕως κεφαλῆς. |
| 8 | And he took a potsherd and scraped the corrupt matter, sitting on a dunghill. | qui testa saniem radebat, sedens in sterquilinio. | Καὶ ἔλαβεν ὄστρακον, ἵνα τὸν ἰχῶρα ξύῃ, καὶ ἐκάθητο ἐπὶ τῆς κοπρίας ἔξω τῆς πόλεως. |
| 9 | And his wife said to him: Dost thou still continue in thy simplicity? bless God and die. | Dixit autem illi uxor sua: Adhuc tu permanes in simplicitate tua? Benedic Deo, et morere. | Χρόνου δὲ πολλοῦ προβεβηκότος, εἶπεν αὐτῷ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ, μέχρι τίνος καρτερήσεις, λέγων, ἰδοὺ ἀναμένω χρόνον ἔτι μικρὸν, προσδεχόμενος τὴν ἐλπίδα τῆς σωτηρίας μου; ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἠφάνισταί σου τὸ μνημόσυνον ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς· υἱοὶ καὶ θυγατέρες, ἐμῆς κοιλίας ὠδῖνες καὶ πόνοι, οὓς εἰς τὸ κενὸν ἐκοπίασα μετὰ μόχθων· σύ τε αὐτὸς ἐν σαπρίᾳ σκωλήκων κάθησαι διανυκτερεύων αἴθριος, κᾀγὼ πλανωμένη καὶ λάτρις τόπον ἐκ τόπου καὶ οἰκίαν ἐξ οἰκίας, προσδεχομένη τὸν ἥλιον πότε δύσεται, ἵνα ἀναπαύσωμαι τῶν μόχθων μου καὶ τῶν ὀδυνῶν αἵ με νῦν συνέχουσιν· ἀλλὰ εἶπόν τι ῥῆμα εἰς Κύριον, καὶ τελεύτα. |
| 10 | And he said to her: Thou hast; spoken like one of the foolish women: if we have received good things at the hand of God, why should we not receive evil? In all these things Job did not sin with his lips. | Qui ait ad illam: Quasi una de stultis mulieribus locuta es: si bona suscepimus de manu Dei, mala quare non suscipiamus? In omnibus his non peccavit Iob labiis suis. | Ὁ δὲ ἐμβλέψας, εἶπεν αὐτῇ, ὥσπερ μία τῶν ἀφρόνων γυναικῶν ἐλάλησας· εἰ τὰ ἀγαθὰ ἐδεξάμεθα ἐκ χειρὸς Κυρίου, τὰ κακὰ οὐχ ὑποίσομεν; Ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις τοῖς συμβεβηκόσιν αὐτῷ οὐδὲν ἥμαρτεν Ἰὼβ τοῖς χείλεσιν ἐναντίον τοῦ Θεοῦ. |
| 11 | Now when Job’s three friends heard all the evil that had befallen him, they came every one from his own place, Alphas the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Sophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment to come together and visit him, and comfort him. | Igitur audientes tres amici Iob omne malum quod accidisset ei, venerunt singuli de loco suo, Eliphaz Themanites, et Baldad Suhites, et Sophar Naamathites. Condixerant enim ut pariter venientes visitarent eum, et consolarentur. | Ἀκούσαντες δὲ οἱ τρεῖς φίλοι αὐτοῦ τὰ κακὰ πάντα τὰ ἐπελθόντα αὐτῷ, παρεγένοντο ἕκαστος ἐκ τῆς ἰδίας χώρας πρὸς αὐτόν· Ἐλιφὰζ ὁ Θαιμανῶν βασιλεὺς, Βαλδὰδ ὁ Σαυχέων τύραννος, Σωφὰρ Μιναίων βασιλεύς· καὶ παρεγένοντο πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁμοθυμαδὸν, τοῦ παρακαλέσαι καὶ ἐπισκέψασθαι αὐτόν. |
| 12 | And when they had lifted up their eyes afar off, they knew him not, and crying out they wept, and rending their garments they sprinkled dust upon their heads towards heaven. | Cumque elevassent procul oculos suos, non cognoverunt eum, et exclamantes ploraverunt, scissisque vestibus sparserunt pulverem super caput suum in caelum. | Ἰδόντες δὲ αὐτὸν πόῤῥωθεν, οὐκ ἐπέγνωσαν· καὶ βοήσαντες φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ἔκλαυσαν, ῥήξαντες ἕκαστος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ στολὴν, καὶ καταπασάμενοι γῆν. |
| 13 | And they sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no man spoke to him a word: for they saw that his grief was very great. | Et sederunt cum eo in terra septem diebus et septem noctibus: et nemo loquebatur ei verbum: videbant enim dolorem esse vehementem. | παρεκάθισαν αὐτῷ ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας καὶ ἑπτὰ νύκτας, καὶ οὐδεὶς αὐτῶν ἐλάλησεν· ἑώρων γὰρ τὴν πληγὴν δεινὴν οὖσαν καὶ μεγάλην σφόδρα. |
