Job 1
1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and this man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God and abstained from evil.
Havia um homem na terra de Uz, cujo nome era Job: e era este homem sincero, reto 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 três filhas.
3 And his substance was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and very many servants; and this man was greater than all the children of the east.
E era o seu gado sete mil ovelhas, e três mil camelos, e quinhentas juntas de bois, e quinhentas jumentas; era também muitíssima a gente ao seu serviço, de maneira que era este homem maior do que todos os do oriente.
4 And his sons went and made a feast in the house of each one on his day; and they sent and invited 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 três irmãs a comerem e beberem com eles.
5 And it was so, when the days of the feasting were gone about, that Job sent and hallowed them; and he rose up early in the morning, and offered up burnt-offerings [according to] the number of them all; for Job said, It may be that my children have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
Sucedeu pois que, tendo decorrido o turno de dias de seus banquetes, enviava Job, e os santificava, e se levantava de madrugada, e oferecia holocaustos segundo o número de todos eles; porque dizia Job: Porventura pecaram meus filhos, e amaldiçoaram a Deus no seu coração. Assim o fazia Job continuamente.
6 And there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah; and Satan came also among them.
E vindo um dia em que os filhos de Deus vieram apresentar-se perante o Senhor, veio também Satanás entre eles.
7 And Jehovah said to Satan, Whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah and said, From going to and fro 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, e disse: De rodeiar a terra, e passeiar por ela.
8 And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God and abstaineth from evil?
E disse o Senhor a Satanás: Consideraste tu a meu servo Job? porque ninguém há na terra semelhante a ele, homem sincero e reto, temente a Deus, e desviando-se do mal.
9 And Satan answered Jehovah and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
Então respondeu Satanás ao Senhor, e disse: Porventura teme Job a Deus debalde?
10 Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is spread abroad in the land.
Porventura não o circunvalaste tu a ele, e a sua casa, e a tudo quanto tem? A obra de suas mãos abençoaste e o seu gado está aumentado na terra.
11 But put forth thy hand now and touch all that he hath, [and see] if he will not curse 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 hath is in thy hand; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.
E disse o Senhor a Satanás: eis que tudo quanto tem está na tua mão; somente contra ele não estendas a tua mão. E Satanás saiu da presença do Senhor.
13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn.
E sucedeu um dia, em que seus filhos e suas filhas comiam, e bebiam vinho, na casa de seu irmão primogênito,
14 And there came a messenger to Job and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses feeding beside them;
Que veio um mensageiro a Job, e lhe disse: Os bois lavravam, e as jumentas pasciam junto a eles;
15 and [they of] Sheba fell [upon them] and took them, and the servants have they smitten with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee.
E deram sobre eles os sabeus, e os tomaram, e aos moços feriram ao fio da espada: e só eu escapei tão somente, para te trazer a nova.
16 While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee.
Estando este ainda falando, veio outro e disse: Fogo de Deus caiu do céu, e queimou as ovelhas e os moços, e os consumiu, e só eu escapei tão somente para te trazer a nova
17 While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels and took them, and the servants have they smitten with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee.
Estando ainda este falando, veio outro, e disse: Ordenando os caldeus três tropas, deram sobre os camelos, e os tomaram, e aos moços feriram ao fio da espada: e só eu escapei tão somente para te trazer a nova.
18 While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn;
Estando ainda este falando, veio outro, e disse: Estando teus filhos tuas filhas comendo e bebendo vinho, em casa de seu irmão primogênito,
19 and behold, there came a great wind from over the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they died; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee.
Eis que um grande vento sobreveio de além do deserto, e deu nos quatro cantos da casa, e caiu sobre os mancebos, e morreram: e só eu escapei tão somente, para te trazer a nova.
20 And Job rose up, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshipped;
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 came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah!
E disse: Nu saí do ventre de minha mãe, e nu tornarei para lá; o Senhor o deu, e o Senhor o tomou: bendito seja o nome do Senhor.
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor ascribed anything unseemly to God.
Em tudo isto Job não pecou, nem atribuiu a Deus falta alguma.
