Jó 1
1 Havia um homem na terra de Uz, cujo nome era Jó; e este homem era íntegro e correto, temente a Deus, e que se afastava do mal.
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil.
2 E nasceram-lhe sete filhos e três filhas.
There were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
3 E seu patrimônio era sete mil ovelhas, três mil camelos, quinhentas juntas de bois, e quinhentas jumentas; ele também tinha muitíssimos servos, de maneira que este homem era o maior de todos do oriente.
His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.
4 E seus filhos iam nas casas uns dos outros para fazerem banquetes, cada um em seu dia; e mandavam convidar as suas três irmãs, para que comessem e bebessem com eles.
His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his birthday; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5 E acontecia que, acabando-se o revezamento dos dias de banquetes, Jó enviava e os santificava, e se levantava de madrugada para apresentar holocaustos[conforme] o número de todos eles. Pois Jó dizia: Talvez meus filhos tenham pecado, e tenham amaldiçoado a Deus em seus corações. Assim Jó fazia todos aqueles dias.
It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts.” Job did so continually.
6 E em certo dia, os filhos de Deus vieram para se apresentarem diante do SENHOR, e Satanás também veio entre eles.
Now on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before the LORD, Satan also came among them.
7 Então o SENHOR disse a Satanás: De onde vens? E Satanás respondeu ao SENHOR, dizendo: De rodear a terra, e de passear por ela.
The LORD said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, “From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”
8 E o SENHOR disse a Satanás: Tendes visto meu servo Jó? Pois ninguém há na terra semelhante a ele, homem íntegro e correto, temente a Deus, e que se afasta de mal.
The LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil.”
9 Então Satanás respondeu ao SENHOR, dizendo: Por acaso Jó teme a Deus em troca de nada?
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing?
10 Por acaso tu não puseste uma cerca ao redor dele, de sua casa, e de tudo quanto ele tem? Tu abençoaste o trabalho de suas mãos, e seu patrimônio tem crescido sobre a terra.
Haven’t you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11 Mas estende agora tua mão, e toca em tudo quanto ele tem; e [verás] se ele não te amaldiçoa em tua face.
But stretch out your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face.”
12 E o SENHOR disse a Satanás: Eis que tudo quanto ele tem está em tua mão; somente não estendas tua mão contra ele. E Satanás saiu de diante do SENHOR.
The LORD said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power. Only on himself don’t stretch out your hand.” So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.
13 E sucedeu um dia que seus filhos e filhas estavam comendo e bebendo vinho na casa de seu irmão primogênito,
It fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
14 Que veio um mensageiro a Jó, que disse: Enquanto os bois estavam arando, e as jumentas se alimentando perto deles,
that a messenger came to Job, and said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,
15 Eis que os sabeus atacaram, e os tomaram, e feriram os servos a fio de espada; somente eu escapei para te trazer a notícia.
and the Sabeans attacked, and took them away. Yes, they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
16 Enquanto este ainda estava falando, veio outro que disse: Fogo de Deus caiu do céu, que incendiou as ovelhas entre os servos, e os consumiu; somente eu escapei para te trazer-te a notícia.
While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of God has fallen from the sky, and has burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
17 Enquanto este ainda estava falando, veio outro que disse: Os caldeus formaram três tropas, e atacaram os camelos, e os tomaram, e feriram os servos a fio de espada; somente eu escapei para te trazer a notícia.
While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Kasdim made three bands, and swept down on the camels, and have taken them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
18 Enquanto este ainda estava falando, veio outro que disse: Teus filhos e tuas filhas estavam comendo e bebendo vinho em casa de seu irmão primogênito,
While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
19 E eis que veio um grande vento do deserto, e atingiu os quatro cantos da casa, que caiu sobre os jovens, e morreram; somente eu escapei para te trazer a notícia.
and behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
20 Então Jó se levantou, rasgou sua capa, rapou sua cabeça, e caindo na terra, adorou,
Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshiped.
21 E disse: Nu saí do ventre de minha mãe, e nu para lá voltarei. O SENHOR deu, e o SENHOR tomou; bendito seja o nome do SENHOR.
He said, “Naked I came out of my mother’s womb, and naked will I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the LORD’s name.”
22 Em tudo isto Jó não pecou, nem atribuiu a Deus falta alguma.
In all this, Job didn’t sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.
