Job 2
1 And there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, and Satan also came among them to present himself before Jehovah.
E, vindo outro dia, em que os filhos de Deus vieram apresentar-se perante o Senhor, veiu tambem Satanaz entre elles, apresentar-se perante o Senhor.
2 And Jehovah said to Satan, From 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 Satanaz: D'onde vens? E respondeu Satanaz ao Senhor, e disse: De rodeiar a terra, e passeiar por ella.
3 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? and still he remaineth firm in his integrity, though thou movedst me against him, to swallow him up without cause.
E disse o Senhor a Satanaz: Consideraste ao meu servo Job? porque ninguem ha na terra similhante a elle, homem sincero e recto, temente a Deus, e desviando-se do mal, e que ainda retem a sua sinceridade; havendo-me tu incitado contra elle, para o consumir sem causa.
4 And Satan answered Jehovah and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life;
Então Satanaz respondeu ao Senhor, e disse: Pelle por pelle, e tudo quanto o homem tem dará pela sua vida.
5 but put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, [and see] if he will not curse thee to thy face!
Porém estende a tua mão, e toca-lhe nos ossos, e na carne, e verás se te não amaldiçoa na tua face
6 And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand; only spare his life.
E disse o Senhor a Satanaz: Eis-que elle está na tua mão; porém guarda a sua vida.
7 And Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah; and he smote Job with a grievous botch from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
Então saiu Satanaz da presença do Senhor, e feriu a Job d'uma chaga maligna, desde a planta do pé até ao alto da cabeça.
8 And he took a potsherd to scrape himself with; and he sat among the ashes.
E tomou um caco para se raspar com elle: e estava assentado no meio da cinza.
9 And his wife said to him, Dost thou still remain firm in thine integrity? curse God and die.
Então sua mulher lhe disse: Ainda retens a tua sinceridade? amaldiçoa a Deus, e morre.
10 But he said to her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. We have also received good from God, and should we not receive evil? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
Porém elle lhe disse: Como falla qualquer das doidas, fallas tu; receberemos o bem de Deus, e não receberiamos o mal? Em tudo isto não peccou Job com os seus labios.
11 And three friends of Job heard of all this evil that was come upon him. And they came each one from his place: Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to condole with him and to comfort him.
Ouvindo pois tres amigos de Job todo este mal que tinha vindo sobre elle, vieram cada um do seu logar; Eliphaz o temanita, e Bildad o suhita, e Sofar o naamathita; e concertaram juntamente de virem condoer-se d'elle, e para o consolarem.
12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice and wept. And they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward the heavens.
E, levantando de longe os seus olhos, não o conheceram: e levantaram a sua voz e choraram; e rasgaram cada um o seu manto, e sobre as suas cabeças lançaram pó ao ar.
13 And they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights; and none spoke a word to him; for they saw that [his] anguish was very great.
E se assentaram juntamente com elle na terra, sete dias e sete noites: e nenhum lhe dizia palavra alguma, porque viam que a dôr era mui grande.
