1Koh有一日，上帝hiah-ê kiáⁿ來，家己khiā tī耶和華ê面前，撒旦也來tī in中間，家己khiā tī耶和華ê面前。Koh ū chi̍t-ji̍t, Siōng-tè hiah ê kiáⁿ lâi, ka-kī khiā tī Iâ-hô-hoa ê bīn-chêng, Sat-tàn iā lâi tī in tiong-kan, ka-kī khiā tī Iâ-hô-hoa ê bīn-chêng.

2耶和華對撒旦講，你tùi toh落來？撒旦應耶和華講，我tī地上行來行去，遍行tī-hia，tùi-hia來。Iâ-hô-hoa tùi Sat-tàn kóng, Lí tùi toh-lo̍h lâi? Sat-tàn ìn Iâ-hô-hoa kóng, Góa tī tōe-chiūⁿ kiâⁿ-lâi kiâⁿ-khì, piàn-kiâⁿ tī-hia, tùi-hia lâi.

3耶和華對撒旦講，你有留心tī我ê奴僕約伯mah？因為地上無人親像伊完全koh正直，敬畏上帝，離開chiah-ê pháiⁿ；你雖然激我攻擊伊，無因端毀壞伊，伊猶原執守伊ê純全。Iâ-hô-hoa tùi Sat-tàn kóng, Lí ū liû-sim tī Góa ê lô͘-po̍k Iok-pek mah? In-ūi tōe-chiūⁿ bô lâng chhin-chhiūⁿ i oân-choân koh chèng-ti̍t, kèng-ùi Siōng-tè, lī-khui chiah ê pháiⁿ; lí sui-jiân kek Góa kong-kek i, bô in-toaⁿ húi-hoāi i, i iû-goân chip-siú i ê sûn-choân.

4撒旦應耶和華講，用皮換皮，人為tio̍h伊ê性命願了伊一切所有ê。Sat-tàn ìn Iâ-hô-hoa kóng, Ēng phê ōaⁿ phê, lâng ūi-tio̍h i ê sìⁿ-miā goān liáu i it-chhè só͘-ū ê.

5總是你伸你ê手kha̍p-tio̍h伊ê骨kap伊ê肉，就伊beh當面棄絕你。Chóng-sī Lí chhun Lí ê chhiú kha̍p-tio̍h i ê kut kap i ê bah, chiū i beh tng-bīn khì-choa̍t Lí.

6耶和華對撒旦講，看ah，伊tī你ê手頭，獨獨tio̍h留伊ê性命。Iâ-hô-hoa tùi Sat-tàn kóng, Khòaⁿ ah, i tī lí ê chhiú-thâu, to̍k-to̍k tio̍h lâu i ê sìⁿ-miā.

7撒旦就tùi耶和華ê面前出去，phah約伯，hō͘伊tùi腳底到頭殼頂生毒瘡。Sat-tàn chiū tùi Iâ-hô-hoa ê bīn-chêng chhut-khì, phah Iok-pek, hō͘ i tùi kha-tóe kàu thâu-khak-téng siⁿ to̍k-chhng.

8伊就用hāu-phiaⁿ-phè來pê身軀，坐tī火灰中。I chiū ēng hāu-phiaⁿ-phè lâi pê seng-khu, chē tī hé-hu tiong.

9伊ê bó͘就對伊講，你iáu-kú執守你ê純全mah？Tio̍h棄絕上帝來死。I ê bó͘ chiū tùi i kóng, Lí iáu-kú chip-siú lí ê sûn-choân mah? Tio̍h khì-choa̍t Siōng-tè lâi sí.

10但是約伯對伊講，你講話是親像hiah-ê戇ê婦人人所teh講ê。怎樣nih？咱tùi上帝受福氣，kiám無tùi伊受災厄mah？Tī這一切ê事，約伯並無tùi伊ê嘴來犯罪。Nā-sī Iok-pek tùi i kóng, Lí kóng-ōe sī chhin-chhiūⁿ hiah ê gōng ê hū-jîn-lâng só͘ teh kóng ê. Cháiⁿ-iūⁿ--nih? Lán tùi Siōng-tè siū hok-khì, kiám bô tùi I siū chai-ē mah? Tī che it-chhè ê sū, Iok-pek pēng-bô tùi i ê chhùi lâi hoān-chōe.

11Hit時約伯三個朋友聽見伊tú-tio̍h一切ê苦難，ta̍k-ê tùi in ê所在來；就是Thê-bān人Í-lī-hoat，Su-a人Pí-le̍k-ta̍t，Ná-má人Só-hoat；in相約相kap來悲傷，安慰伊。Hit-sî Iok-pek saⁿ ê pêng-iú thiaⁿ-kìⁿ i tú-tio̍h it-chhè ê khó͘-lān, ta̍k-ê tùi in ê só͘-chāi lâi; chiū-sī Thê-bān lâng Í-lī-hoat, Su-a lâng Pí-le̍k-ta̍t, Ná-má lâng Só-hoat; in siong-iok saⁿ-kap lâi pi-siong, an-ùi i.

12In遠遠kia̍h目看，bōe認得伊，就大聲啼哭；ta̍k人拆裂外衫，ǹg天掖土粉tī家己ê頭殼。In hn̄g-hn̄g kia̍h-ba̍k khòaⁿ, bōe jīn-tit i, chiū tōa-siaⁿ thî-khàu; ta̍k lâng thiah-li̍h gōa-saⁿ, ǹg thiⁿ iā thô͘-hún tī ka-kī ê thâu-khak.

13In就kap伊坐tī土腳七日七暝，無kap伊講一句，因為in看見伊ê痛苦真大。In chiū kap i chē tī thô͘-kha chhit-ji̍t chhit-mî, bô kap i kóng chi̍t-kù, in-ūi in khòaⁿ-kìⁿ i ê thòng-khó͘ chin tōa.

1後來約伯開嘴，咒詛伊ê日。Āu-lâi Iok-pek khui-chhùi, chiù-chó͘ i ê ji̍t.

2約伯開嘴講：Iok-pek khui-chhùi kóng:

3我出世ê日，願hit-ê日無去；講，有懷孕ta-po͘-kiáⁿ hit暝，願hit-ê暝也無去。Góa chhut-sì ê ji̍t, goān hit ê ji̍t bô--khì; Kóng, ū hoâi-īn ta-po͘-kiáⁿ hit-mî, goān hit ê mî iā bô--khì.

4願hit-ê日變做烏暗；願上帝無tùi頂面看顧伊，光也無照伊。Goān hit ê ji̍t pìⁿ-chòe o͘-àm; Goān Siōng-tè bô tùi téng-bīn khòaⁿ-kò͘ i, Kng iā bô chiò i.

5願烏暗kap死蔭侵取伊；願密雲停tī伊ê頂面，願hō͘日變烏暗ê phah驚伊。Goān o͘-àm kap sí-ìm chhim-chhú i; Goān ba̍t-hûn thêng tī i ê téng-bīn, Goān hō͘ ji̍t piàn o͘-àm--ê phah-kiaⁿ i.

6論到hit暝，願烏暗搶去；願伊無kap 年中hiah-ê日同歡喜；也無入tī hiah-ê月ê數額。Lūn-kàu hit-mî, goān o͘-àm chhiúⁿ-khì; Goān i bô kap nî-tiong hiah ê ji̍t tâng hoaⁿ-hí; Iā bô ji̍p tī hiah ê ge̍h ê siàu-gia̍h.

7Ā！願hit暝無有生kiáⁿ；in中間無歡喜ê聲。Ā! Goān hit-mî bô ū siⁿ-kiáⁿ; In tiong-kan bô hoaⁿ-hí ê siaⁿ.

8願hiah-ê咒詛日ê，咒詛伊；以及hiah-ê會激動龍ê，咒詛伊。Goān hiah ê chiù-chó͘ ji̍t ê, chiù-chó͘ i; Í-ki̍p hiah-ê ōe kek-tōng lêng ê, chiù-chó͘ i.

9願hit暝天phú光ê星變烏暗；願伊ǹg望光也bōe得tio̍h；也無看見早起時天拆ha̍h；Goān hit-mî thiⁿ-phú-kng ê chhiⁿ pìⁿ o͘-àm; Goān i ǹg-bāng kng iā bōe tit-tio̍h; Iā bô khòaⁿ-kìⁿ chá-khí-sî thiⁿ thiah-ha̍h;

10因為無關密生我ê子宮，也無對我ê目睭遮蓋患難。In-ūi bô koaiⁿ-ba̍t siⁿ góa ê chú-kiong, Iā bô tùi góa ê ba̍k-chiu jia-khàm hoān-lān.

11我啥事無tī胎裡就死？啥事出腹肚，無續斷氣？Góa siáⁿ-sū bô tī thai--nih chiū sí? Siáⁿ-sū chhut pak-tó͘, bô sòa tn̄g-khùi?

12啥事有腳頭u接我？啥事有奶hō͘我suh？Siáⁿ-sū ū kha-thâu-u chih góa? Siáⁿ-sū ū ni hō͘ góa suh?

13若無án-ni，我已經倒teh來安然，已經睏來靜靜；Nā-bô án-ni, góa í-keng tó-teh lâi an-jiân, Í-keng khùn lâi chēng-chēng;

14Kap地上列王謀士相kap tī-teh，in bat為家己起造拋荒ê所在；Kap tōe-chiūⁿ lia̍t-ông bô͘-sū saⁿ-kap tī-teh, In bat ūi ka-kī khí-chō pha-hng ê só͘-chāi;

15á是kap有金ê首領tī-teh；in bat用銀充滿in ê厝ê。Á-sī kap ū kim ê siú-léng tī-teh; In bat ēng gûn chhiong-móa in ê chhù ê.

16á是親像ka-la̍uh身來掩密ê，我就無去；親像bē見tio̍h光ê嬰á。Á-sī chhin-chhiūⁿ ka-la̍uh sin lâi iám-ba̍t ê, góa chiū bô--khì; Chhin-chhiūⁿ bē kìⁿ-tio̍h kng ê eⁿ-á.

17Tī-hia pháiⁿ人soah伊ê攪擾；tī-hia厭倦ê得tio̍h安歇。Tī-hia pháiⁿ-lâng soah i ê kiáu-jiáu; Tī-hia ià-siān-ê tit-tio̍h an-hioh.

18Tī-hia受掠ê人相kap得tio̍h安然，無聽見督工ê ê聲。Tī-hia siū-lia̍h ê lâng saⁿ-kap tit-tio̍h an-jiân, Bô thiaⁿ-kìⁿ tok-kang--ê ê siaⁿ.

19序細序大lóng tī-hia；奴僕脫離伊ê主人。Sī-sòe sī-tōa lóng tī-hia; Lô͘-po̍k thoat-lī i ê chú-lâng.

20受苦難ê人，啥事hō͘伊有光ah？心內憂苦ê人，啥事hō͘伊有活命？Siū khó͘-lān ê lâng, siáⁿ-sū hō͘ i ū kng ah? Sim-lāi iu-khó͘ ê lâng, siáⁿ-sū hō͘ i ū oa̍h-miā?

21In ǹg望死，也bōe得tio̍h，chhē伊，比掘khǹg密ê寶貝khah出力。In ǹg-bāng sí, iā bōe tit-tio̍h, Chhē i, pí ku̍t khǹg-ba̍t ê pó-pòe khah chhut-la̍t.

22In chhē-tio̍h墳墓就快樂；歡喜到bōe顧得。In chhē-tio̍h hûn-bōng chiū khoài-lo̍k; Hoaⁿ-hí kàu bōe-kò͘--tit.

23人ê前途已經暗bong-bong，上帝四面圍困伊，啥事hō͘伊有光ah？Lâng ê chiân-tô͘ í-keng àm-bong-bong, Siōng-tè sì-bīn ûi-khùn i, siáⁿ-sū hō͘ i ū kng ah?

24因為我用吐氣替食物；我大聲哮，親像大水chhèng出。In-ūi góa ēng thó͘-khùi thòe chia̍h-mi̍h; Góa tōa-siaⁿ háu, chhin-chhiūⁿ tōa-chúi chhèng-chhut.

25因為我所真驚ê臨到我；我所驚惶ê到tī我。In-ūi góa só͘ chin-kiaⁿ-ê lîm-kàu góa; Góa só͘ kiaⁿ-hiâⁿ-ê kàu tī góa.

26我bōe得tio̍h安然，bōe得tio̍h平靜，bōe得tio̍h安歇，總是有患難來。Góa bōe tit-tio̍h an-jiân, bōe tit-tio̍h pêng-chēng, bōe tit-tio̍h an-hioh, Chóng-sī ū hoān-lān lâi.

1Thê-bān人Í-lī-hoat應講，Thê-bān lâng Í-lī-hoat ìn kóng,

2人若beh kap你談論，你會嫌厭bōe？總是是誰能家己約束無講話ah？Lâng nā beh kap lí tâm-lūn, lí ōe hiâm-ià bōe? Chóng-sī chī-chūi ōe ka-kī iok-sok bô kóng-ōe ah?

3看ah，你bat教示chōe-chōe人，軟弱ê手你也hō͘伊giám硬。Khòaⁿ ah, lí bat kà-sī chōe-chōe lâng, Loán-jio̍k ê chhiú lí iā hō͘ i giám-ngī.

4Beh跋倒ê，你用話扶伊；腳頭u酸軟ê，你hō͘伊勇健。Beh poa̍h-tó-ê, lí ēng ōe hû i; Kha-thâu-u sng-nńg ê, lí hō͘ i ióng-kiāⁿ.

5總是taⁿ tāi-chì到tī你，你就昏迷；kha̍p-tio̍h你，你就驚惶。Chóng-sī taⁿ tāi-chì kàu tī lí, lí chiū hun-bê; Kha̍p-tio̍h lí, lí chiū kiaⁿ-hiâⁿ.

7請你想看，無罪ê人是誰有死無？正直ê人tī甚麼所在受剪除？Chhiáⁿ lí siūⁿ-khòaⁿ, bô-chōe ê lâng chī-chūi ū sí-bô? Chèng-ti̍t ê lâng tī sím-mi̍h só͘-chāi siū chián-tû?

8照我看，用罪過種作，用惡毒做種子來掖ê，所收成也是án-ni。Chiàu góa khòaⁿ, ēng chōe-kòa chèng-choh, Ēng ok-to̍k chòe chéng-chí lâi iā ê, só͘ siu-sêng iā sī án-ni.

9上帝pûn氣，in就死無；對伊大受氣ê風，in就消滅。Siōng-tè pûn-khùi, in chiū sí-bô; Tùi I tōa siū-khì ê hong, in chiū siau-bia̍t.

10獅ê哮，猛獅ê聲，lóng soah；獅á-thûn ê嘴齒，lóng phah折。Sai ê háu, béng-sai ê siaⁿ, lóng soah; Sai-á-thûn ê chhùi-khí, lóng phah-chi̍h.

11老ê獅，因為無thang食就死；母ê獅，hiah-ê kiáⁿ也lóng四散。Lāu ê sai, in-ūi bô thang chia̍h chiū sí; Bú ê sai, hiah ê kiáⁿ iā lóng sì-sòaⁿ.

12有tāi-chì暗靜到tī我，我耳孔也聽見伊細細ê聲。Ū tāi-chì àm-chīⁿ kàu tī góa, Góa hī-khang iā thiaⁿ-kìⁿ i sòe-sòe ê siaⁿ.

13Tùi暝時異象ê思想，就是人睏重眠ê時，Tùi mî--sî īⁿ-siōng ê su-siúⁿ, Chiū-sī lâng khùn tāng-bîn ê sî,

14驚惶ngia̍uh-ngia̍uh-chhoah臨到我，hō͘我ê百骨khe̍h-khe̍h-tiō。Kiaⁿ-hiâⁿ ngia̍uh-ngia̍uh-chhoah lîm-kàu góa, Hō͘ góa ê pah-kut khe̍h-khe̍h-tiō.

15有神tùi我面前經過；我身軀ê毛管chhàng起來。Ū sîn tùi góa bīn-chêng keng-kè; Góa seng-khu ê mn̂g-kńg chhàng--khí-lâi.

16伊停teh，總是我bōe看明伊ê形狀；有像tī我目睭前；靜chauh-chauh，我聽見有聲，講，I thêng-teh, chóng-sī góa bōe khòaⁿ-bêng i ê hêng-chōng; Ū siōng tī góa ba̍k-chiu chêng; Chēng chauh-chauh, góa thiaⁿ-kìⁿ ū siaⁿ, kóng,

19何況hiah-ê khiā起tī土厝，伊ê根基在tī土粉，比蛀蟲khah快死ê。Hô-hòng hiah ê khiā-khí tī thô͘-chhù, I ê kun-ki chāi-tī thô͘-hún, Pí chiù-thâng khah-khoài sí--ê.

20Tùi早起到ê-hng，就tú-tio̍h毀滅，永永無去，無人掛意。Tùi chá-khí kàu ê-hng, chiū tú-tio̍h húi-bia̍t, Éng-éng bô--khì, bô lâng khòa-ì.
