Job 2
1 And it came to pass, when on a certain day the sons of God came, and stood before the Lord, and Satan came among them, and stood in his sight,
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 That the Lord said to Satan: Whence comest thou? And he answered and said: I have gone round about the earth, and walked through 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 the Lord said to Satan: Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man simple, and upright, and fearing God, and avoiding evil, and still keeping his innocence? But thou hast moved me against him, that I should afflict him 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, and said: Skin for skin, and all that a man hath he will 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, and touch his bone and his flesh, and then thou shalt gee that he will bless 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 the Lord said to Satan: Behold be is in thy hand, but yet save his life.
E disse o Senhor a Satanaz: Eis-que elle está na tua mão; porém guarda a sua vida.
7 So Satan went forth from the presence Of the Lord, and struck Job with a very grievous ulcer, from the sole of the foot even to the top of his head:
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 and scraped the corrupt matter, sitting on a dunghill.
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 continue in thy simplicity? bless God and die.
Então sua mulher lhe disse: Ainda retens a tua sinceridade? amaldiçoa a Deus, e morre.
10 And he said to her: Thou hast; spoken like one of the foolish women: if we have received good things at the hand of God, why should we not receive evil? In all these things 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 Now when Job’s three friends heard all the evil that had befallen him, they came every one from his own place, Alphas the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Sophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment to come together and visit him, and 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 had lifted up their eyes afar off, they knew him not, and crying out they wept, and rending their garments they sprinkled dust upon their heads towards heaven.
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 with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no man spoke to him a word: for they saw that his grief 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.
