| 1又有一天，天主的众子都前来侍立在上主面前，撒殚也夹在他们当中，侍立在上主面前。 | 1Once more the sons of God came to present themselves before Yahweh, and again Satan was with them. |
| 2上主向撒殚说：「你从那里来？」撒殚回答上主说：「我走遍了世界，周游了各地回来。」 | 2Yahweh asked Satan, "Where have you been?" Satan answered, "Going up and down the earth, roaming about." |
| 3上主对撒殚说：「你曾留心注意到我的仆人约伯吗？世上没有一个像他那样十全十美，生性正直，敬畏天主，远避邪恶的人。你虽然激动我加害他，无端叫他倾家荡产，但他依然保持自己的完善。」 | 3Yahweh asked again, "Have you noticed my servant Job? No one on earth is as blameless and upright as he, a man who fears God and avoids evil. He still holds fast to his integrity even if you provoked me to ruin him without cause." |
| 4撒殚回答上主说：「那只不过是以皮换皮罢了！人都肯拾弃所有，去保全自己的性命。 | 4Satan replied, "Skin for skin! For his own life, anyone will give everything he owns. |
| 5但是你若伸手打击他的骨和肉，他必定当面诅咒你。」 | 5But lay your hand against his own flesh and bones and he will curse you to your face." |
| 6上主向撒殚说：「看，任你处置他，但要保留他的性命。」 | 6Yahweh said to Satan, "Very well, he is in your power. But spare his life." |
| 7撒殚从上主那里出来，就使约伯从足踵到头顶都长了毒疮。 | 7So Satan left the presence of Yahweh and afflicted Job with festering sores from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. |
| 8约伯坐在灰土堆中，用瓦片刮身。 | 8Job took a potsherd to scrape himself and sat among the ashes. |
| 9他的妻子向他说：「你还保持你的完善吗？你倒不如诅咒天主，死了算了！」 | 9His wife said to him, "Do you still hold on to your integrity? Curse God and die!" |
| 10约伯向她说：「你说话，真像一个糊涂女人！难道我们只由天主那里接受恩惠，而不接受灾祸吗？」就这一切事而论，约伯没有犯失言的过错。 | 10Job replied, "You talk foolishly. If we receive good things from God, why can't we accept evil from him?" In spite of this calamity, Job did not utter a sinful word. |
| 11约伯的三位朋友，特曼人厄里法次、叔亚人彼耳达得、纳阿玛人左法尔，听说他遭遇了灾祸，就各从本地起程，来到一起，去慰问他、劝勉他， | 11Three of Job's friends - Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite - heard of the misfortune that came upon him. They set out from their own homes and journeyed together to offer their sympathy and consolation to Job. |
| 12他们从远处举目一望，已认不得他，就放声大哭，撕破了自己的外衣，把灰扬起，落在自己头上。 | 12Failing to recognize him from the distance, they wept aloud, tore their garments and poured dust upon their heads. |
| 13他们于是同他在灰土中，坐了七天七夜，因见他受苦太大，没有人敢向他说一句话。 | 13For seven days and seven nights, they sat on the ground beside him. They did not say a word to Job, for they saw how terribly he suffered. |
