Louis Segond 1910
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.
1Or, les fils de Dieu vinrent un jour se présenter devant l’Éternel, et Satan vint aussi au milieu d’eux se présenter devant l’Éternel.
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.”
2L’Éternel dit à Satan: D’où viens-tu? Et Satan répondit à l’Éternel: De parcourir la terre et de m’y promener.
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.”
3L’Éternel dit à Satan: As-tu remarqué mon serviteur Job? Il n’y a personne comme lui sur la terre; c’est un homme intègre et droit, craignant Dieu, et se détournant du mal. Il demeure ferme dans son intégrité, et tu m’excites à le perdre sans motif.
4Satan answered the LORD, and said, “Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life.
4Et Satan répondit à l’Éternel: Peau pour peau! Tout ce que possède un homme, il le donne pour sa vie.
5But stretch out your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face.”
5Mais étends ta main, touche à ses os et à sa chair, et je suis sûr qu’il te maudit en face.
6The LORD said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand. Only spare his life.”
6L’Éternel dit à Satan: Voici, je te le livre: seulement, épargne sa vie.
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.
7Et Satan se retira de devant la face de l’Éternel. Puis il frappa Job d’un ulcère malin, depuis la plante du pied jusqu’au sommet de la tête.
8He took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with, and he sat among the ashes.
8Et Job prit un tesson pour se gratter et s’assit sur la cendre.
9Then his wife said to him, “Do you still maintain your integrity? Renounce God, and die.”
9Sa femme lui dit: Tu demeures ferme dans ton intégrité! Maudis Dieu, et meurs!
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.
10Mais Job lui répondit: Tu parles comme une femme insensée. Quoi! Nous recevons de Dieu le bien, et nous ne recevrions pas aussi le mal! En tout cela Job ne pécha point par ses lèvres.
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.
11Trois amis de Job, Éliphaz de Théman, Bildad de Schuach, et Tsophar de Naama, apprirent tous les malheurs qui lui étaient arrivés. Ils se concertèrent et partirent de chez eux pour aller le plaindre et le consoler!
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.
12Ayant de loin porté les regards sur lui, ils ne le reconnurent pas, et ils élevèrent la voix et pleurèrent. Ils déchirèrent leurs manteaux, et ils jetèrent de la poussière en l’air au-dessus de leur tête.
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.
13Et ils se tinrent assis à terre auprès de lui sept jours et sept nuits, sans lui dire une parole, car ils voyaient combien sa douleur était grande.
