VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Factum est autem, cum quadam die venissent filii Dei, et starent coram Domino, venisset quoque Satan inter eos, et staret in conspectu ejus,	1 Once again the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them.
2 ut diceret Dominus ad Satan : Unde venis ? Qui respondens ait : Circuivi terram, et perambulavi eam.	2 And the LORD said to Satan, "Whence do you come?" And Satan answered the LORD and said, "From roaming the earth and patrolling it."
3 Et dixit Dominus ad Satan : Numquid considerasti servum meum Job, 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.	3 And the LORD said to Satan, "Have you noticed my servant Job, and that there is no one on earth like him, faultless and upright, fearing God and avoiding evil? He still holds fast to his innocence although you incited me against him to ruin him without cause."
4 Cui respondens Satan, ait : Pellem pro pelle, et cuncta quæ habet homo dabit pro anima sua ;	4 And Satan answered the LORD and said, "Skin for skin! All that a man has will he give for his life.
5 alioquin mitte manum tuam, et tange os ejus et carnem, et tunc videbis quod in faciem benedicat tibi.	5 But now put forth your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and surely he will blaspheme you to your face."
6 Dixit ergo Dominus ad Satan : Ecce in manu tua est : verumtamen animam illius serva.	6 And the LORD said to Satan, "He is in your power; only spare his life."
7 Egressus igitur Satan a facie Domini, percussit Job ulcere pessimo, a planta pedis usque ad verticem ejus ;	7 So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD and smote Job with severe boils from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head.
8 qui testa saniem radebat, sedens in sterquilinio.	8 And he took a potsherd to scrape himself, as he sat among the ashes.
9 Dixit autem illi uxor sua : Adhuc tu permanes in simplicitate tua ? Benedic Deo, et morere.	9 Then his wife said to him, "Are you still holding to your innocence? Curse God and die."
10 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 Job labiis suis.	10 But he said to her, "Are even you going to speak as senseless women do? We accept good things from God; and should we not accept evil?" Through all this, Job said nothing sinful.
11 Igitur audientes tres amici Job 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.	11 Now when three of Job's friends heard of all the misfortune that had come upon him, they set out each one from his own place: Eliphaz from Teman, Bildad from Shuh, and Zophar from Naamath. They met and journeyed together to give him sympathy and comfort.
12 Cumque elevassent procul oculos suos, non cognoverunt eum, et exclamantes ploraverunt, scissisque vestibus sparserunt pulverem super caput suum in cælum.	12 But when, at a distance, they lifted up their eyes and did not recognize him, they began to weep aloud; they tore their cloaks and threw dust upon their heads.
13 Et sederunt cum eo in terra septem diebus et septem noctibus : et nemo loquebatur ei verbum : videbant enim dolorem esse vehementem.	13 Then they sat down upon the ground with him seven days and seven nights, but none of them spoke a word to him; for they saw how great was his suffering.
