Job 1
1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job, and that man was perfect and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil.
Havia um homem na terra d'Uz, cujo nome era Job: e era este homem sincero, recto e temente a Deus e desviando-se do mal.
2 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
E nasceram-lhe sete filhos e tres filhas.
3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-donkeys, and a very great household, so that this man was the greatest of all the sons of the east.
E era o seu gado sete mil ovelhas, e tres mil camelos, e quinhentas juntas de bois, e quinhentas jumentas; era tambem muitissima a gente ao seu serviço, de maneira que era este homem maior do que todos os do oriente.
4 And his sons went and held a feast in the house of each one upon his day, and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
E iam seus filhos, e faziam banquetes em casa de cada um no seu dia; e enviavam, e convidavam as suas tres irmãs a comerem e beberem com elles.
5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were completed, 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. Thus Job did continually.
Succedeu pois que, tendo decorrido o turno de dias de seus banquetes, enviava Job, e os sanctificava, e se levantava de madrugada, e offerecia holocaustos segundo o numero de todos elles; porque dizia Job: Porventura peccaram meus filhos, e amaldiçoaram a Deus no seu coração. Assim o fazia Job continuamente.
6 Now it came to pass on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, that Satan also came among them.
E vindo um dia em que os filhos de Deus vieram apresentar-se perante o Senhor, veiu tambem Satanaz entre elles.
7 And Jehovah said to Satan, From where do thou come? Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.
Então o Senhor disse a Satanaz: D'onde vens? E Satanaz respondeu ao Senhor, e disse: De rodeiar a terra, e passeiar por ella.
8 And Jehovah said to Satan, Have thou considered my servant Job? For there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil.
E disse o Senhor a Satanaz: Consideraste tu a meu servo Job? porque ninguem ha na terra similhante a elle, homem sincero e recto, temente a Deus, e desviando-se do mal.
9 Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Does Job fear God for nothing?
Então respondeu Satanaz ao Senhor, e disse: Porventura teme Job a Deus debalde?
10 Have thou not made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he has, on every side? Thou have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
Porventura não o circumvallaste tu a elle, e a sua casa, e a tudo quanto tem? A obra de suas mãos abençoaste e o seu gado está augmentado na terra.
11 But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce thee to thy face.
Mas estende a tua mão, e toca-lhe em tudo quanto tem, e verás se te não amaldiçoa na tua face!
12 And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he has is in thy power, only upon himself do not put forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.
E disse o Senhor a Satanaz: Eis-que tudo quanto tem está na tua mão; sómente contra elle não estendas a tua mão. E Satanaz saiu da presença do Senhor.
13 And it fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
E succedeu um dia, em que seus filhos e suas filhas comiam, e bebiam vinho, na casa de seu irmão primogenito,
14 that there came a messenger to Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,
Que veiu um mensageiro a Job, e lhe disse: Os bois lavravam, e as jumentas pasciam junto a elles;
15 and the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away. Yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword, and only I alone have escaped to tell thee.
E deram sobre elles os sabeos, e os tomaram, e aos moços feriram ao fio da espada: e só eu escapei tão sómente, para te trazer a nova.
16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God fell from heaven, and has burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them, and only I alone have escaped to tell thee.
Estando este ainda fallando, veiu outro e disse: Fogo de Deus caiu do céu, e queimou as ovelhas e os moços, e os consumiu, e só eu escapei tão sómente para te trazer a nova
17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have taken them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword, and only I alone have escaped to tell thee.
Estando ainda este fallando, veiu outro, e disse: Ordenando os chaldeos tres tropas, deram sobre os camelos, e os tomaram, e aos moços feriram ao fio da espada: e só eu escapei tão sómente para te trazer a nova.
18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house.
Estando ainda este fallando, veiu outro, e disse: Estando teus filhos tuas filhas comendo e bebendo vinho, em casa de seu irmão primogenito,
19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead, and only I alone have escaped to tell thee.
Eis que um grande vento sobreveiu d'além do deserto, e deu nos quatro cantos da casa, e caiu sobre os mancebos, e morreram: e só eu escapei tão sómente, para te trazer a nova.
20 Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshiped.
Então Job se levantou, e rasgou o seu manto, e tosquiou a sua cabeça, e se lançou em terra, e adorou,
21 And he said, Naked I came out of my mother's womb, and naked I shall return there. Jehovah gave, and Jehovah has taken away, blessed be the name of Jehovah.
E disse: Nu sahi do ventre de minha mãe, e nu tornarei para lá; o Senhor o deu, e o Senhor o tomou: bemdito seja o nome do Senhor.
22 In all this Job did not sin, nor foolishly accuse God.
Em tudo isto Job não peccou, nem attribuiu a Deus falta alguma.
