World English Bible
1Ἐγένετο 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.
1Again, on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before the LORD, Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
2Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Κύριος τῷ διαβόλῳ, πόθεν σὺ ἔρχῃ; τότε εἶπεν ὁ διάβολος ἐνώπιον τοῦ Κυρίου, διαπορευθεὶς τὴν ὑπʼ οὐρανὸν, καὶ ἐμπεριπατήσας τὴν σύμπασαν, πάρειμι.
2The LORD said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered the LORD, and said, “From going back and forth on the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”
3Εἶπε 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.
3The LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause.”
4Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ ὁ διάβολος εἶπε τῷ Κυρίῳ, δέρμα ὑπὲρ δέρματος, ὅσα ὑπάρχει ἀνθρώπῳ ὑπέρ τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ ἐκτίσει.
4Satan answered the LORD, and said, “Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life.
5Οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ ἀποστείλας τὴν χεῖρά σου, ἅψαι τῶν ὀστῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν σαρκῶν αὐτοῦ· ἦ μὴν εἰς πρόσωπόν σε εὐλογήσει.
5But stretch out your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face.”
6Εἶπε δὲ ὁ Κύριος τῷ διαβόλῳ, ἰδοὺ παραδίδωμί σοι αὐτόν· μόνον τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ διαφύλαξον.
6The LORD said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand. Only spare his life.”
7Ἐξῆλθε δὲ ὁ διάβολος ἀπὸ τοῦ Κυρίου· καὶ ἔπαισε τὸν Ἰὼβ ἕλκει πονηρῷ ἀπὸ ποδῶν ἕως κεφαλῆς.
7So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful sores from the sole of his foot to his head.
8Καὶ ἔλαβεν ὄστρακον, ἵνα τὸν ἰχῶρα ξύῃ, καὶ ἐκάθητο ἐπὶ τῆς κοπρίας ἔξω τῆς πόλεως.
8He took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with, and he sat among the ashes.
9Χρόνου 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.
9Then his wife said to him, “Do you still maintain your integrity? Renounce God, and die.”
10Ὁ 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.
10But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?” In all this Job didn’t sin with his lips.
11Ἀκούσαντες 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.
11Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that had come on him, they each came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to sympathize with him and to comfort him.
12Ἰδόντες δὲ αὐτὸν πόῤῥωθεν, οὐκ ἐπέγνωσαν· καὶ βοήσαντες φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ἔκλαυσαν, ῥήξαντες ἕκαστος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ στολὴν, καὶ καταπασάμενοι γῆν.
12When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and didn’t recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and sprinkled dust on their heads toward the sky.
13παρεκάθισαν αὐτῷ ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας καὶ ἑπτὰ νύκτας, καὶ οὐδεὶς αὐτῶν ἐλάλησεν· ἑώρων γὰρ τὴν πληγὴν δεινὴν οὖσαν καὶ μεγάλην σφόδρα.
13So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.
