ヨブ 記 31
Japanese Living Bible
31 情欲をもって女性を見ないようにする。
私は、そう自分の目と契約を結んだ。
2-3 みだらな者に、全能の神が
災いを下すことを知っているからだ。
4 神は私のなすことすべてを見ている。
5 私がうそをつき、人を欺いたことがあるだろうか。
6 もちろん、神は私の潔白をご存じだ。
7-8 私は、神の道を踏みはずしたことも、
目に入るものへの欲望に取りつかれたこともない。
そのほかの罪についても、全く身に覚えがない。
もし少しでもやましいところがあったら、
私が種をまいて育てた作物をほかの者が刈り取り、
私の植えた木がみな根こそぎにされてもいい。
9 私が人の妻を欲しがったことがあるというなら、
10 殺されてもいい。
私の妻が他の人の家に労働者として入り、
あるいは他の人が彼女の夫になってもいい。
11 情欲は恥ずべき罪、罰せられるべき罪過、
12 何もかも焼き尽くす地獄の火だ。
それは、私の植えたものをみな根こそぎにする。
13 少しでも召使たちを
不当にあしらったことがあったなら、
14 神をまともに見ることなどできるわけがない。
神にそのことを問いただされたら、
何も答えようがない。
15 神は私を造り、また召使たちをも造ったからだ。
16 私が貧しい人を傷つけ、
未亡人を泣かせたことがあるだろうか。
17 腹をすかせた孤児に、
食べ物を恵まなかったことがあるだろうか。
18 いつも、孤児を引き取って親身に世話をし、
わが子同様に育てたではないか。
19-20 寒さにこごえている者に着る物を与えず、
その人を暖めるために羊の毛を刈らなかったことが
あるだろうか。
21 だれにも責められないからといって、
孤児の弱みにつけこんだことがあるだろうか。
22 こんなことを一つでもしていたら、
腕がつけ根からもぎ取られ、
肩の骨がはずれてもかまわない。
23 その程度の罰なら、
どんなものより恐ろしい神にさばかれるよりましだ。
威厳ある神を向こうに回したら、
一片の望みもなくなってしまうからだ。
24 私が金銭を頼りにしたことがあるだろうか。
25 財産のあるなしを
幸福の尺度にしたことがあるだろうか。
26 あるいは、空に輝く太陽を見、
銀の道に沿って動く月を見て、
27 心ひそかに魅せられ、
手を合わせて拝んだことがあるだろうか。
28 こんな行為も、裁判にかけて罰せられるべきだ。
私がこんなことをしたのなら、
天の神を否定したことになるからだ。
29 私は、敵が苦しむのを見て喜んだことがあるだろうか。
30 人をのろったり、復讐したりしたことなど一度もない。
31 召使を飢えさせたこともない。
32 見知らぬ人でも追い返したりせず、
だれが来ても気持ちよく迎え入れた。
33 私は、アダムのように罪を隠したことがあるだろうか。
34 群衆におびえ、軽蔑されることを恐れて、
罪を認めようとせず、
人の力になることをためらったことがあるだろうか。
35 私の言い分を聞き、
私の立場を理解してくれる者はいないのか。
だれが何と言おうと、私は正しい。
もし間違っていたら、全能者がそれを指摘すればよい。
敵の起訴状が正当であることを、全能者が認めればよい。
36 私はそれを、冠のように大事にしまっておく。
37 それから、自分が何をしたかを、
包み隠さず神に打ち明け、
堂々と自分の立場を弁護したい。
38-39 もし私の土地が、
そこの産物を盗んだとして私を責めるなら、
あるいは、私が小作人を殺して、
彼らの収穫を奪い取ったことがあるというなら、
40 小麦の代わりにいばらが生え、
大麦の代わりに雑草がはびこるように。」
ここでヨブのことばは 終わりました。
Job 31
New International Version
Job 31
New International Version
31 “I made a covenant with my eyes(A)
not to look lustfully at a young woman.(B)
2 For what is our lot(C) from God above,
our heritage from the Almighty on high?(D)
3 Is it not ruin(E) for the wicked,
disaster(F) for those who do wrong?(G)
4 Does he not see my ways(H)
and count my every step?(I)
5 “If I have walked with falsehood
or my foot has hurried after deceit(J)—
6 let God weigh me(K) in honest scales(L)
and he will know that I am blameless(M)—
7 if my steps have turned from the path,(N)
if my heart has been led by my eyes,
or if my hands(O) have been defiled,(P)
8 then may others eat what I have sown,(Q)
and may my crops be uprooted.(R)
9 “If my heart has been enticed(S) by a woman,(T)
or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,
10 then may my wife grind(U) another man’s grain,
and may other men sleep with her.(V)
11 For that would have been wicked,(W)
a sin to be judged.(X)
12 It is a fire(Y) that burns to Destruction[a];(Z)
it would have uprooted my harvest.(AA)
13 “If I have denied justice to any of my servants,(AB)
whether male or female,
when they had a grievance against me,(AC)
14 what will I do when God confronts me?(AD)
What will I answer when called to account?(AE)
15 Did not he who made me in the womb make them?(AF)
Did not the same one form us both within our mothers?(AG)
16 “If I have denied the desires of the poor(AH)
or let the eyes of the widow(AI) grow weary,(AJ)
17 if I have kept my bread to myself,
not sharing it with the fatherless(AK)—
18 but from my youth I reared them as a father would,
and from my birth I guided the widow(AL)—
19 if I have seen anyone perishing for lack of clothing,(AM)
or the needy(AN) without garments,
20 and their hearts did not bless me(AO)
for warming them with the fleece(AP) from my sheep,
21 if I have raised my hand against the fatherless,(AQ)
knowing that I had influence in court,(AR)
22 then let my arm fall from the shoulder,
let it be broken off at the joint.(AS)
23 For I dreaded destruction from God,(AT)
and for fear of his splendor(AU) I could not do such things.(AV)
24 “If I have put my trust in gold(AW)
or said to pure gold, ‘You are my security,’(AX)
25 if I have rejoiced over my great wealth,(AY)
the fortune my hands had gained,(AZ)
26 if I have regarded the sun(BA) in its radiance
or the moon(BB) moving in splendor,
27 so that my heart was secretly enticed(BC)
and my hand offered them a kiss of homage,(BD)
28 then these also would be sins to be judged,(BE)
for I would have been unfaithful to God on high.(BF)
29 “If I have rejoiced at my enemy’s misfortune(BG)
or gloated over the trouble that came to him(BH)—
30 I have not allowed my mouth to sin
by invoking a curse against their life(BI)—
31 if those of my household have never said,
‘Who has not been filled with Job’s meat?’(BJ)—
32 but no stranger had to spend the night in the street,
for my door was always open to the traveler(BK)—
33 if I have concealed(BL) my sin as people do,[b]
by hiding(BM) my guilt in my heart
34 because I so feared the crowd(BN)
and so dreaded the contempt of the clans
that I kept silent(BO) and would not go outside—
35 (“Oh, that I had someone to hear me!(BP)
I sign now my defense—let the Almighty answer me;
let my accuser(BQ) put his indictment in writing.
36 Surely I would wear it on my shoulder,(BR)
I would put it on like a crown.(BS)
37 I would give him an account of my every step;(BT)
I would present it to him as to a ruler.(BU))—
38 “if my land cries out against me(BV)
and all its furrows are wet(BW) with tears,
39 if I have devoured its yield without payment(BX)
or broken the spirit of its tenants,(BY)
40 then let briers(BZ) come up instead of wheat
and stinkweed(CA) instead of barley.”
The words of Job are ended.(CB)
Job 31
King James Version
Job 31
King James Version
31 I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
2 For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
3 Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?
4 Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
5 If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;
6 Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity.
7 If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;
8 Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.
9 If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;
10 Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
11 For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
12 For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
13 If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;
14 What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
15 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?
16 If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
17 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
18 (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)
19 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;
20 If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
22 Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
23 For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
24 If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;
25 If I rejoice because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;
26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;
27 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:
28 This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.
29 If I rejoice at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:
30 Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.
31 If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.
32 The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.
33 If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:
34 Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?
35 Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.
36 Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.
37 I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.
38 If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;
39 If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:
40 Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
