ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

1:2935

ἤκουσαν δέ, φησίν, πάντες οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ αἱ ἀδελφαὶ αὐτοῦ πάντα τὰ συμβεβηκότα αὐτῷ καὶ ἦλθον πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ πάντες ὅσοι ᾔδεισαν αὐτὸν πρὸ τούτου

'And all his brothers and all his sisters,' he says, 'heard of all that had befallen him, and came to him, and all who had known him before this.'

他說：「約伯的眾弟兄、眾姊妹，並那素來認識他的人，都聽見一切臨到他的事，就來到他這裏。」

1:2936

φαγόντες δὲ καὶ πιόντες παρ' αὐτῷ παρεκάλεσαν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐθαύμασαν ἐπὶ πᾶσι τοῖς κακοῖς, οἷς ἐπήγαγεν αὐτῷ ὁ κύριος

'And having eaten and drunk with him, they comforted him, and marveled at all the evils which the Lord had brought upon him.'

「他們在他家與他一同吃喝，安慰他，並為耶和華所降與他的一切災禍而驚異。」

1:2937

καὶ ἔδωκαν αὐτῷ ἕκαστος ἀμνάδα μίαν καὶ τετράδραχμον χρυσοῦν ἄσημον

'And each one gave him a ewe-lamb, and a piece of unstamped gold weighing four drachmas.'

「他們各人送他一隻母綿羊羔，並一塊未鑄印記、重四德拉克馬的金子。」

1:2938

τεκμήριον καὶ σημεῖον τῆς μεταβολῆς

A token and sign of the change.

這是那轉變的憑據與記號。

1:2939

τὸν γὰρ ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ τιμηθέντα καθάπερ ὑπὸ βασιλέως τιμᾶν εἰώθασιν ἄνθρωποι

For men are accustomed to honor the one who has been honored by God, just as by a king.

因為凡蒙神尊榮的人，眾人便習於尊敬他，如同尊敬蒙王尊榮的人一樣。

1:2940

καὶ πάντα αὐτῷ μετεβέβλητο καὶ

And all things had been changed for him, and—

他所有的一切都已為他更變了，並且——

1:2941

γεννῶνται δὲ αὐτῷ, φησίν, υἱοὶ ἑπτὰ καὶ θυγατέρες τρεῖς

And there are born to him, it says, seven sons and three daughters.

經上說，他生了七個兒子，三個女兒。

1:2942

εἶτα καὶ τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν, ἃ τάχα ἀπὸ τῶν συμβάντων ἐπέθηκεν Ἡμέραν, Κασσίαν καὶ Ἀμαλθίας Κέρας ὀνομάσας

Then it gives their names as well, which he perhaps assigned from the things that had befallen him, naming them Day, Cassia, and Amaltheia's Horn.

然後又記下她們的名字，這些名字或許是他按著所遭遇的事給取的，稱她們為「白日」、「桂皮」和「亞瑪太亞之角」。

1:2943

εἶτα καὶ περὶ τῶν βασιλέων φησὶ καὶ ὅτι οὗτος πέμπτος ἀπὸ Ἀβραάμ

Then it speaks also concerning the kings, and that this man was the fifth from Abraham.

然後又提到眾王的事，並說這人是從亞伯拉罕算起的第五代。

1:2944

ἔτι ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ἦσαν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι, ἔμελλον ἀνιέναι λοιπόν, ὡς, εἴ γε ἐβούλοντο οὐ μικρὸν ηὕρισκον ἐμπύρευμα εὐσεβείας·

The Jews were still in Egypt, and were presently about to go up; so that, had they been willing, they would have found no small kindling of piety here.

那時猶太人還在埃及，正將要上去；因此，他們若肯留意，便能在此尋見一點燃敬虔之火的火種，且非微小。

1:2945

εἰ γὰρ ἔτι καὶ νῦν δείκνυται τὰ λείψανα, πολλῷ μᾶλλον τότε ἐδείχθη ἂν νεαρῶν ὄντων τῶν πραγμάτων καὶ τὸ μέγεθος τῶν συμβεβηκότων καὶ οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἀραβίᾳ πάντες ἂν ἔγνωσαν

For if even now the remains are pointed out, much more would they have been shown at that time, when the events were fresh; and the magnitude of what had happened, and all who were in Arabia, would have known it.

因為若連如今都還指得出遺跡來，那麼當日事情尚新的時候，就更當顯明了；那所發生之事的重大，以及在亞拉伯地的眾人，也都必已知曉。

1:2946

ταῦτα μὲν ἡμεῖς ὡς ἐν συντόμῳ εἰρήκαμεν

These things, then, we have spoken as briefly as may be.

這些事，我們已經扼要地說了。

1:2947

ἔξεστι δὲ τῷ βουλομένῳ μετὰ ἀκριβείας ἐπιόντι τὰ ἐγκείμενα καὶ πλεῖόν τι εὑρεῖν τῶν παρ' ἡμῶν εἰρημένων

But it is open to anyone who wishes, if he goes through the matters set before him with diligence, to discover something even more than what has been said by us.

但凡有心的人，若肯用心細察所陳明的事，儘可尋見比我們所說更多的東西。

1:2948

δίδου γὰρ σοφῷ, φησίν, ἀφορμὴν καὶ σοφώτερος ἔσται

For, as it says, 'Give occasion to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser.'

正如經上所說：「給智慧人一個機會，他就必更有智慧。」

1:2949

ἕκαστος τοίνυν τῶν ἀναγινωσκόντων ὥσπερ εἰς ἀρχέτυπόν τινα εἰκόνα ὁρῶν τὸν ἀθλητὴν τοῦτον τὸν γενναῖον μιμείσθω τὴν ἀνδρείαν ζηλούτω τὴν ὑπομονήν, ἵνα τὴν αὐτὴν αὐτῷ βαδίσας ὁδὸν καὶ πρὸς ἁπάσας τοῦ διαβόλου τὰς μηχανὰς γενναίως παραταξάμενος τῶν ἐπηγγελμένων ἀγαθῶν τοῖς ἀγαπῶσι τὸν θεὸν ἐπιτυχεῖν δυνηθείη·

Let each one of those who read, therefore, looking as it were upon some original portrait to this noble athlete, imitate his manliness and emulate his patient endurance; that, having walked the same road as he, and having drawn up boldly against all the devices of the devil, he may be able to attain the good things promised to those who love God,

所以，凡讀這書的，都當如同仰望一幅原初的畫像，注視這位高貴的鬥士，效法他的剛勇，追慕他的忍耐；好叫他走上與他同一條路，勇敢地擺陣抵擋魔鬼的一切詭計，得以承受神為那些愛他之人所應許的美物，

1:2950

χάριτι καὶ φιλανθρωπίᾳ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, μεθ' οὗ τῷ πατρὶ ἅμα τῷ ἁγίῳ πνεύματι δόξα, κράτος, τιμή, νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων

by the grace and lovingkindness of our Lord Jesus Christ, with whom, together with the Holy Spirit, be glory, might, and honor to the Father, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

這都是藉著我們主耶穌基督的恩典與慈愛；願榮耀、權能、尊貴歸與父，並與聖靈同得，從今直到永永遠遠。阿們。
