Job 1
1 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.
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.
2 There were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
E nasceram-lhe sete filhos e três filhas.
3 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.
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.
4 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.
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.
5 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.
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.
6 Now on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before the LORD, Satan also came among them.
E em certo dia, os filhos de Deus vieram para se apresentarem diante do SENHOR, e Satanás também veio entre eles.
7 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.”
Então o SENHOR disse a Satanás: De onde vens? E Satanás respondeu ao SENHOR, dizendo: De rodear a terra, e de passear por ela.
8 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.”
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.
9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing?
Então Satanás respondeu ao SENHOR, dizendo: Por acaso Jó teme a Deus em troca de nada?
10 Have not 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.
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.
11 But stretch out your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face.”
Mas estende agora tua mão, e toca em tudo quanto ele tem; e [verás] se ele não te amaldiçoa em tua face.
12 The LORD said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power. Only on himself do not stretch out your hand.” So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.
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.
13 It fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
E sucedeu um dia que seus filhos e filhas estavam comendo e bebendo vinho na casa de seu irmão primogênito,
14 that a messenger came to Job, and said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,
Que veio um mensageiro a Jó, que disse: Enquanto os bois estavam arando, e as jumentas se alimentando perto deles,
15 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.”
Eis que os sabeus atacaram, e os tomaram, e feriram os servos a fio de espada; somente eu escapei para te trazer a notícia.
16 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.”
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.
17 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans 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.”
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.
18 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,
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,
19 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.”
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.
20 Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshiped.
Então Jó se levantou, rasgou sua capa, rapou sua cabeça, e caindo na terra, adorou,
21 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.”
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.
22 In all this, Job did not sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.
Em tudo isto Jó não pecou, nem atribuiu a Deus falta alguma.
